S’ THE WICKED WIGGLE v'L Flfiperism is going out. Not the flapper. She always has been afj&will continue to be in our midst. But for two years now, bare-kft£ed in her suit of tweed, she has shocked the Mrs. Grun- dys of$ain Street until they are shock-proof. |*V, The older girl, the neglected wall-flower, again is to be sought. These two years have been lean years for that unclassi fied female between* the age of 23 and 30. When flapperism first began to be knoc^I and consequently known, sKe .was puzzled what t» do. The .wist majority of her kind settled the problem ty following the popular formula cf tweeds'and “roll your own.” But ^efirjng flapper clothes and being a: flapper were two different things,^as. she soon found out. She was bewildered by an unknown vocabulary—snake’s hips, beci’kpces, darbs and the 1 like, p\ " . 'Vi' If ,he went to parties she bail to pet. If she didn’t pet she . didn’t go. If she petted and wont on parties, dancing parties, she had to hove the flapper jag. But she didn't have the pep. She didn't ijavaThe.-energy, simultaneously to do the latest wicked wiggle, moan with the saxophone, keep the wiggly rhythm and string “cm along. So she started staying home evenings and going out occasionally to the movies with some unfortunate friend who hadn’t|Jbeen able to make the kick. There arc those who will tel! you that the exit of flapperism is due ito the return of the long skirt. Up in Michigan they have even formed n club “to keep ’em short.” But it is not a question of length of the skirt, or the receding limb; it is a matter of de cision that reaches forward and forces the flapper to the rear of the stage. The decision is given by 17 authorities who aver that 32 is the "age at'which women roach the top notch.of the beauty-scale; fed eral of these tieiry that beauty .exists at all irv n Vorqan Undef djh.

T. Barnum discovered America. Big stock (dividends arc being- * declared. They involve ' ififllioTISfirid hundreds of millions—sums so big that on every hand people are shying^*“What’s the dope on this stock dividend stuff? What’s it t-fcM-fcoob! t, anyway?” A stock dividend is nothing more than a ! fciever niece of bookkeeping sleight-of-hand. _ Uf,orks like tnis: Suppose a corporation has a total of* $100 of common block, on winch it pays a dividend of 20 per cent,, or *0 a * ear. r'ned up in tne banx it has surplus, or accumulated !. pro-uus/i oi $400. If this $4b0 were distributed as a bonus or addi tional j^iviuenu to stockholders, the government would consider it part .of »tne income of stockholders who got it, and they’d have to \pn> income tax on it. UooKueepers to the rescue! Instead of payingj'jout the $400 as cash dividends, a stock dividend of $400 is t dtciarqfc .. fck» tne stockholders, formerly owning $100 of stock, now o^n §500, And the Supreme Court has ruled that a stock | dividend is not taxable ; as income. .Theoretically, of course, they’ve) Jowned it all along. = Zj I Tt(| imaginary corporation, which we are discussing, has $20 a year*to distribute to. stockholders. After getting the big stock divideri^,’ stockholders continue receiving this $20. The only dif ference'is that they are earning 4 per cent on $500 of stock in. stead of 20 per cent on their original $100' of stock. Of course, the cprporation can set out to make 20 per cent on its new stock valuation, which would make dividends $100 instead of the former [ {20. _ ; , Vrt . . Distribution of a stock dividend is a matter of bookkeeping. The money doesn t leave the corporation, it’s merely transferred on the books, from one pocket to another. • The corporation gives it away, and still has it, although some one who never studied the nigh art of modern bookkeeping started a saying about inability to eat a cake and still have it. With the distribution of a stock (j^vidend, the $400 of accumulated profits becomes part of the working capital, where previously it was surplus. This is a pro tection against possible developments. There’s a rumor in Wall Street that Uncle Sam may put a tax on undistributed profits. So the undistributed profits dodge by hopping over to another page of the books and raying, “I’m capital now, not surplus.” All of which, of course, involves an imaginary corporation, not | any. particular business. It merely illustrates the effects, rather than the motive, behind some stock dividends. B. S. Rodenberry, Moultrie;' J. o. Fields, Albany; J). Bullock, Columbus, and E. S.

He had been “on strike” 34. years when death, the final, arbiter, settled his case. As an example of will power, he stands (ut among millions. There is such a thing, however, as having much will power and resistance for one’s own good. Life is a of reluctant but necessary compromises.
