LONDON, Nov. 21.—Nearly 250 000 persons in Great Britain, it estimated have fortunes large enough to be touched by the capital levy proposed by the labor party, | according to statement issued by the party today.

The proposed scale of the levy increases progressively from five per cent on fortunes over 5,000 pounds and under 6,000 pounds to 60 per cent on those exceeding 1,000,000 pounds. The owner of capital amounting to, but not ex ceeding a million, woyld suddenly find himself deprived of more than half his wealth, as 1,000,000 pounds would be taxed at the rate of 50.3 per cent.

The kitchen was Miami, but the bedrooms were Bangor, Maine. A year ago he threw out his old-fashioned heating plant and installed Arcoxa, setting it in the kitchen and connect- ing it with an American Ra- diator in every room. “We are delighted,” he wrote last December. “Our home, which was only partially heated before, is now like summer all the time.

Why waste an- other winter huddled around an old-fashioned stove or in a room half hot and half cold from an old-fashioned heat- ing plant? Why not have warmth from an American Radiator in every room? The cost is only a fraction of the value which Mr. Lehr places on his Arco.a; and the whole amount comes back to you.
