FIRST HALF TAXES DUE IN NOVEMBER $6,000,000 Expected to Be Paid Next Month—New Systems in Effect. Approximately $6,000,000 is expect- ed to be pald into the coffers of the District government during Novem- ber, representing the first half of taxes for the current fiscal vear. W. D. Clark, jr., deputy collector of taxes, announced last night that bills | will be ready for mailing on Novem- ber 1, but taxpayers may pay them at any time before December 1 with- out penalty. To what extent this year's total of real estate tax will exceed the col- ctions for last year has not yet been estimated. Although the tax rate for this year was reduced from $1.30 to $1.20" per $100 of assessed value, the total assessment of all within the city has gone up 7,000,000 to about $750,000,000. William P. Richards es- | of personal taxes there will be increase of about $50,000 this year.: New System In Vogue. The tax office has inaugurated a new system of keeping the tax edgers by squara and lot number, instead of by name. It will be neces- sary, therefore, for the property owner to have those numbers when he calls for his bill. The square and lot number can be found on the Teceipt for last year's taxes. In past years the, tax office has mail- cd out all personal tax bills, but be- cause of the extra work incident to the establishment of the new book- leeping system the office may not be able to mall them this year. .. The taxpayer also will find awaiting him this year a separate bill for each plece of proj he owns. This is 'art of the new bookkeeping method, he object of which is to make each parcel of land stand as a separate sccount. 9 LT T (T THE SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTON, D. ., LUV DTV T T T T T Overflow!% —Small in Type But Large in Shopping Interest Turknit Wash Cloths 3 for 10c 25¢ Domet Flannel, 19c Yard Hedvy White Domet Flan- nel, flecced on both sides. $1.25 Feather Pil- lows, 95¢ Filled with new feathers and covered with fancy tick- ing. 15¢ Huck Towels, 12%¢ Some are all white, others have woven red borders. 25¢ Part Linen Tea Towels, 19¢ Made of Stevens' crash, hemmed ready for use.

Dr. Glen Levin Swiggett, speclalist in commercial education of the bu- reau of education and chairman of the national conference, says: * conference of this character has 1ever before been held in the United States and, so far as I know, in any other country. We are thinking of . higher type of secretarial service than most people ordinarily have in mind, a type of service' for which here is increasingly great need and for which the schools and colleges of the nation should endeavor to pre- pare by a better articulated and motivated course of study.” The program will take place at the Secretarial Science Auditorfum and will include addresses on secre- tarfal training in public high schools, private business schools and colleges and universities.
