a result the courts may be called upon to
m i tie the matter
The act of the legislature provides that
•all corporation license taxes shall become
due upon the first day of January of cad:
year. The act was not approved until the
latter part of April. 1913. and several Fair
hanks attorneys content! that it could not
apply for that year.
One attorney, representing six different
•orpt ram ns. sent a check for k-90 and spe
cifically stated in the accompanying lettei
to the secretary that it was the 1914 tax
Mr Davidson has written the following re
ply :
You are advised that the ruling of thi
office is to the effect that all corporation.'
filing articles of incorporation during the
year 1913. or in previous years, are liable
for the payment of a license vr the year

j FINDS "COCKTAIL FACE"
AMONG SOCIETY WOMEN
Two new types of faces have been «li
| covered among American society women b>
i Rev. Zed Copp, a Washington minister ami
| sociologist. They are those of the bridge
J whist fiend and the cocktail drinker.
; Mr. Copp says these new types are a
distinct degeneration from the orth-.de
American beauty.
“The bridge whist fiend’s face is assum
ing hard lines usually found in the profes
sional gambler’s face,” he said recently.
“Many pretty young women are losing all
their tender, soft beauty by leaning ovm the
gambling table until the early hours of
morning.
“Bridge whist players can no longer smile
sweetly. Tightly drawn lips and a deep
furrow over the mouth are characteristic
of this type. If women would omit actual
i heavy gambling these defects of expression
i would be greatly done away with.
“The cocktail drinker’s type of faro is
| more repulsive than that of the gamblers.
The former has a droopng lower lid, blood
‘ shot eyes and a slovenly, languid expression,
i Sweet cocktails are the bane of fashionable
I women. I think they can be classed among
1 the habit-forming drugs and drinks. At
' the bottom of these two evils rests wom
an’s tendency to go from the home at
mosphere and do the things hitherto left
to men. Clubs and women’s bar rooms are
giving us a new type of American woman
hood.’’
Women, especially young girls here, are
rapiuly becoming ..mr* addicted to intoxi
cating liquor, v.i, -• the men are rapidly
growing mi re a!wi n :ous. according to Al
bert E. Shoemaker, attorney for the Anti
Saloon League of the District of Columbia.
TANGO IS A STRENUOUS DANCE
The tango, it is -aid, has wrought havoc
with the corset business in Paris. The
“derniere mode’ is to have the waist free.
To he able to daruA the tango and have the
latest form the body must be held by "noth
ing'’ and still kept rigid. The tango de
mands suppleness of those who dance it,
but the dance it-elf must become supple
if it does not wish to put the corset makers
in bankruptcy.
It is not an uncommon sight now to see
dancers arriving at a ball carrying little
valises. In fact, some trunk-makers are
turning out special valises made for the
purpose, small, daintily-covered and just
the right size to hide in a corner of the
cloak room. In the valise is carried a
change of clothing, for tangoing is real ex
ercise. and a wilted collar is generally the
result of the first dance on the program.
After about the fifth dance the dress shirt
is dress no longer. Perhaps the obliging
hostess will soon furnish hath rooms where
their guests can refresh themselves before |
finishing the dance program.
The tango seems to be a wonderful ex
ercise but who in society wants exercise?
