Curious Colllection
Of Old Valentinet
Chicago, March 8.?A curious col
lection of old valentines which th<
Arts Club exhibited here recently
recalls the story of a woman whoir
the students of Mt. Holyoke Collegt
toast every year on February 14
She was Miss Esther Howland, wh<
made the first American valentine:
and the first valentines in whicl
printed verse was used. Her worif
is liberally represented in the collection,
which is that of Mrs. Errfma B
Hodge, and which was loaned to th
Arts Club for the purposes of th
??u:uu l a _t. ??"i-:
cjuuua uy me nit institute ui V/iu
cago.
Miss Rowland was graduated fron
Mt. Holyoke in 1847, when higher ed
ucatTon for women was an innovation
Valentines were first made in England,
and England had a monopoly ol
their manufacture for many year*
In fact, a valentine from England, th;
first she had ever seen, gave M;ss
Howland the idea upon which shi
based her work. It was two year?
after her graduation when she was a!
her home in Worcester, Mass. Th'
English, which is in Mrs. Hodge's
collection, has an elaborate borldei
of lace paper with flowers pastec
upon it. A tiny note reposed in e
small pocket in the center. Miss
Howland's father was a stationer
imported a few of these valentines
and his daughter thought she could
improve them. She made some from
lace paper, colored paper and papei
flowers, and persuaded her brother
who traveled for her father, to tak<
them with him as samples. He re
turned to bewilder her with orderamounting
to $5,000.
Miss Howland enlisted the aid o1
her friends to fill these orders. Tht
following year she had to double hei
working force. She soon found herself
with a valentine factory on hei
hands, and wns importing materials
frnm Rurmnnv Sho mafln /nr^oi
innovations, including the use oi
fiilk. She originate the idea of embossing
lithograph ornaments which
was utilized by a firm in Germany
Meanwhile the American or Worcester
Valentine became famous, and ir
a few years Miss Howland was sending
out poods worth $100,000.

Rowland's work was associated arc
INDIGESTION
Busy Public Official Says Thedford's
Black-Draught Helps Him
Keep Physically Fit.
Clay City, Ky.?"I havo been In
business here for twenty-one years;
am also coroner, riding the Kentucky
btlls and hollows in all kinds of
weather and under all kinds of conditions,"
says Mr. Sam T. Carr, of this
place. "To be able to do so, I must
keep phyRlonlly fit, and Tliedford'a
Black-Draught Is my stand-by.
"Those trips used to give me^ieadaches,
and that, I found, came from
hurried meals or from constipation.
"I was convinced that Black-Draught
was good, so now I use It, and It gives
perfect satisfaction. It acts on the
liver, relieves Indigestion, and certainly
Is splendid. I am never without it."

a pinch of the dry powder, washed
down with a swallow of water. This

and liver to carry on their normal
work, and helps prevent, or relieve,
constipation.

ancient as well as sentimental, for!
I observance of St. Valentino's Dav
has been held to be a revival of the
Roman Lupercalia, and bears th:,
name of a Christian martyr of the
third century. According to one
j story, the martyr wrote a message of
. love on the day of his execution,
February 14, to his jailor's daughter.
, and signed it "Your Valentine." The
5 day was long observed with various
j customs before commercial use was
: made of the sending on that day of
amatory messagese.
The verses on many of the valen
, tines in this collection express domestic
ideals, and the wasp waiste<
maidens depicted on them have meekly
downcast* eyes. Here and there,
however, there is an exception. In
jne case an upstanding amazon calmly
directs Cupid as he aims at a lan
guicf youth, who, glancing up fropi
r his book, notes the proceeding with
unconcern. In another a young woi.j.n
places a wreath on the head
n a kneeling swain, and in the verses
below the sender (feminine) assures
the recipient (masculine) that her
tar.d will be his whenever he claims
it, explaining that a maiden may disr
j close affections concealed at all o\.i
er times.
[ Political Destinies of
i Soviet Government
1 1
? Tashkent, Turkestan, March 7.- I
The political destinies of the Soviet
i government here are controlled by
Adolph A. Joffe, signer of the Brest,
Litovsk treaty by which Russin with}
drew from the world war and for
mer Russian Soviet Ambassador to
i BerKn. (It was recently announced
officially that he would be one of the
f Russian Soviet delegates to the Ge'
noa conference.)
Joffe is the chief of a central com
mittee of five. One of his duties is
to put into effect Moscow's instrue
? tions regarding relations with Am
anulla Khan, the young and activ?
f Emir of Afghanistan and pretendei
to the Moslem Caliphate, now hcl.
i by the Sultan at Constantinople.
The Emir of Bokhara has fled to
Afghanistan, the Khan of Khiva is
i in prison at Moscow and the Soviets
> are strengthening their power by attempting
to build up the small landi
lords at the expense of the old nnd
wealthy class which has well nigh'
disappeared.
Despite the absence of medicines
and the ravages of a severe typhus
epidemic, Turkestan is, barring the
Ukraine, the riches of Russian provinces
or subsidiary governments an'1
efforts are being made to increase the
cotton crop, which formerly supplied
half the mills of Great Russia.
The rice and wheat crops were
fairly good last year and if good
this year large supplies may be sent
to Russia's famine regions.
Smuggling by Baltic States
Moscow, March 7.?Gifts of food
stuffs for the famine area were used
by Lithuanians as a screen for gigantic
smuggling operations, according
to statements of Soviet officials, who
are bitter in their denunciation of
the alleged illegal trade operations on
the part of all the three new Halite
states.
Beneath the grain and flour the
Lithuanians loaded into two cars for
tb? famine area, Soviet officials say
they discovered large quantities of
cocaine, spirits, saccharine, miscellaneous
foodstuffs intended for sale
.and even railway implements not intended
as gifts. Most of the smuggled
supplies were of German origin.
Porpoises are the greatest enemies

Cairo, Egypt, March 7.?The hith
erto scattered forces ot' opposition t<
British rule in India were consolidatet
by the arrest and deportation of Sait
Zaghlcul Pasha, Egyptian Nationalis
leader.
Egyptians?men, women and chil
dren?seem to be determined this tim<
to win their independence or die
There are signs that their patriots
spirit has grown stronger.
The country remained without i
cabinet after Zaghloul's deportatioi
because there was not to be found ii

the responsibility of forming a nev
ministry so long as Lord Curzon':
scheme to maintain Great Britain'
grip on Egypt remained hanging ove:
the head of the country, as one pape:
put it, like the sword of Damocles.'
Most of the schools, elementary, sec
cndary, as well as those of higher edu
cation have been forced to close thei
portals because their students haw
gone out on strike as a sign of pro

Analysis Made by Treasury
Washington, March 7.?Intorosiini
bits of information relating to Amor
ican incomes included in the treasur;
department's report covering return
for the calendar year 1911), which ha
just been made public.
Contrary to popular opinion, th
largest percentage of returns accord
ing to population was not from th
wealthy industrial centers but fron
Alaska and the District of Columbia
The territory's showing?17.1 per cen
?was explained by the number of in
dividuals operating their own busi
ness, while that of the District of Co
lumbia 13.40 per cent?was believe
to have resulted from the high rati
of government employees with sa
arios of more than $1,000 a year.
The Southern agricultural state
were invariably were far down th
list, Mississippi citizens making rt
turns comprising only 1.33 per een
of the total population; North Care
Una 1.45 per cent, and Alabama 1.7New
York led in total returns wit
more than 5,000,000.
An analysis made by the treasur
of the sources of incomes showed tha
those in t!.<J $1,000 to $2,000 clas
obtained 7Y per cent of their pei
sonal revenue from wages and sa
nries, 3.8 per cent from rents and roy
allies, 1.4 per cent from dividends at)
4.7 from interest on investments. Thi
was contrasted with the taxpayer wit
an income of one miOlion dollars wit
drew only 1.34 per cent from salariei
23 per cent from partnerships, 11 pc
cent from sale of real estate, stock:
etc., G per cent front rents and roya
ties, 38 per cent from dividends an
11 per cent from interest on inves!
ments.
Deduction permitted by the govort
ment also showed a wide variant
amounting to 7.47 per cent for income
between $1,000 and $2,000 and 20.1
per cent for income of $2,000,000 an
over.
A orient t ti r<> niwl eliilo.l iinlnal < ,
comprised more than .?.l per cent (
tlu.se making returns, "trade" 20 pi
cent and public service 22.
Corporation reporting "not net it
come" totalled 110,304 the aggregal
deficit in this class being $993,000,00
Seventy one per cent of the firms ei
gaged in mining and quarrying d<
dared they had made no profit in 191!
against 4(5 per cent in agriculture an
related lines, and 19 per cent in to:
till s.
Interesting changes in the financi:
status of certain taxpayers were note
in the report. One group of 301 eac
who reported incomes of under $100
000 in 1914 was reorganized in 191
so that only l.r>9 remained in th.r
bracket., 189 returned incomes of u
to $300,000, 20.r> up to $1,000,000 an
eight over that figure.
On the other hand 37 selected tn:
payers who paid on incomes of $1
000,000 and over in 1914 dwindled pr<
gressively to 23 in 1919, eight of thof
"lost" having dropped hack to tt
$100,000 class.
