right and of such things as religious
libertv, freedom of the press, freedom

and trial by jury which made him as- j
sert that without the Constitution
there is no Declaration of Independ

out From Gotham Shops.
Py the Associated Press.
NEW YORK. May 25.—New York’s
striking barbers last night predicted
a general walkout of their trade to- |

those already picketing in upper Man
t hattan and the Bronx.
Estimating thfct 3.100 men were on
strike in the Times Square. Bronx and
tipper West Side areas. Anthony Mer
lino, union vice president, said 4,500
men who quit their jobs last week
i, returned to work at increased wages
and shorter working hours.

Senate Finance Group
Makes Progress Like
Land Crab.
SANTA MONICA, Calif., May 25
(N.A.N.A.).—The members of the
Senate Finance Committee—poor
things—seem to be going forward with ;
* the new revenue program the same
way a land crab makes headway—
by traveling backward. At last ac
counts they were so snarled up in
figures and language that any minute
the rescue party was expected to rush
ill WIW1 U U 5 II
hooka and chop
them loose before
a lot of statesmen
> chocked to death.
< However, out
t ©f the epileptic
, seizure into which
r these unfortunate
, patriots have
been enmeshed,
one concrete fact
has emerged.
There will be a
(light exemption
of dues on the
profits of corpo
rations ma king
less than $15.00 a year. This will be
a great boon for trunk stores down by
the depot, brokerage firms handling
second-hand railroad tunnels and
dealers in Brazilian butterflies. All
Others will continue to march up to
the collector * window and leave their
•hirts.
The latest little wrinkle under con
sideration is called “tax on taxes.” j
It hasn't been explained yet, but the
fellow with as much as $2 left should
be prepared for the worst.

It’s wonderful the way soothing,
cooling Zemo brings relief to itch
ing, burning skin, even in severe
cases. Itching usually stops when
Zemo touches tender and irritated
skin. To comfort the irritation of
Rashes, Ringworm, Eczema, Pim
ples and Sunburn, use clean, sooth
ing Zemo. It should be in every
home. Insist on genuine Zemo.
