Hundreds of petitions were signed in New Britain, cards be- ing issued at the Lyceum, Palace and Fox theaters. The state tax on amusements is five per cent. The federal tax is ten per cent and after the first of next month the people who attend the theaters will be obliged to pay fifteen per cent The amount will have to be added to the ticket making a 25 cent ticket 30 cents instead of 28 as at present. The *ax of course on tickets cannot ve made the same, as there are fractions of a cent at times, but the theater managers must figure on getting an extra 15 per cent on every dollar they take in. Worse Than Motorists Theater managers declare that they are worse off than motoists insofar as tax subjects are concerned. They claim they have nearly a dozen li- censes and taxes to pay before they can do business. State Tax Commis- sioner William H. Blodgett has sent to theater owners questionnaires which are to be filled out in compli- ance with the new law. All theaters of the state operating nunder articles of incorporation arz rlaced in Class A; those conducted by partnership are in Class B; thase op- erated by individuals are in Class C. Tre name of the theater, location, name and address of the proprietor, nature of entertainment and place of ticket sales are required as the first information. The theaters will be defined as “motion pictures” for those yresenting a. screen program onl “combination”, for those presenting pictures with vaudeville and occas- icnal legitimate attractions and ‘“le- gitimate” for those presenting plays only. With the exception of the Scenic,all of the New Britain theaters are class- ed as combination houses. Under the law, the five percent tax must be col- lected on all tickets wherever sold, and for this reason theaters having other places than the box office for the sale of seats are required to re port. Except in the larger cities, few outside offices will be found. Motion picture men point out that as a result of the law they will have an additional expense for ticket print- ‘ng. Tickets will have to specify the regular admission, the federal tax, the state tax and the total amount of the tickets. The numbering of tickets serially is required by the govern- ment and the state tickets will prob- ably not differ much from the pres- cnt ones, other than in size. — AUTO WRECK KILLS CAMPER.

And even if there were, there isn’t any gladness in the hearts of these tots. Without a murmur they 'go to bed and lie there in silence while their one dress is washed. They don’t know what childish re- bellion is. Their lives are empty, drifting, stagnant.” The administration is now caring for 1,300,000 children there.

The address commanded undivided attention and led at times to general discussion, practically every word of which enforced the need for economy. refugees from Russia have swarmed over the line into Poland. “Most of them have the rickets so badly they can scarcely walk,” says Miss Tarkowska. ~ “It isn't at all unusual to find @ ten-year-old child so poorly fed that his bones have not hardened at all and his limbs will not bear the weight of his body. In the receiving station they sit on the floor —drop down anywhere—a sad-faced, wordless throng. “Sometimes their Stomachs dre so over developed that they appear de- formed. They have been fed—wl)en they have food at all—potatoes and beets three times a day, since the time they were a year old. And in- stead of growing and getting strons, their stomachs have distended.” Miss Tarkowsk: adopted fourteen of the little waifs, and is paying- for their food and education.

The little girl “took to flying like a bird.” Rode in planes Senator Brandegee (Conn.) especially commended the proposal to have Am- erican troops returned from Ger- many. 4 Why Keep Troops in Germany? Both Senators Brandegee and Bo- rah stated they saw no possible ad- vantage either to the United States or Europe in keeping ‘the troops in Germany. “To increase taxation at this time would be almost. disaster and to fail to reduce them would be deplorable,” said Senator Borah. *“I know of no way to reduce taxes except by re- ducing expenditures, and we have no material sources of reduction except in the army and navy. The discharge of a few government clerks or even hundreds of them, while commend- able, does nothing to reduce the budg- et. Unless congress and the ex- ecutive -departments are willing to cut where cuts are possible, we may as well tell the country there is no hope of tax reduction and that there is grave likelihood of tax increases.” Stressing his proposal to reduce the army to 100,000 immediately, Sena- tor Borah showed how easily the army was reduced to 150,000 in July, although it had been urged this would: not be -possible before next October. - ‘Senator ‘Borah also urged reducing the officer force, saying, that 14,000 officers were enough for an army of from 300,000 to 500,000 and that tthe number was “ludicrous- ly out of proportion to our needs.” Delay of Tax Repeals. Mr.. Mondell stated that several sggestions have been made to him regarding the delay in repeal of the profits taxes until next January, and believed it would be acceptable to business interests if there were no increase in the fit corporation income tax. Tables prepared by csperts in- dicated that the. increased corpora- tion income tax would cause many corporations not making large re- turns because of the business depres- sion to pay greater taxes than under the excess profits. The increase also would makz new problems for pub- lic utilities, running on a close mar- 3in of profit. May Tax Drinks.

I was all run down and work was burdensome owing to Indigestion and Fullness, due to gas on my stomach which caused me to belch s good deal. My heart seemed fo be affected. It was two years ago that Iwasin’ this condition and began the use of ‘Fruit-a-tives’. Even though the trouble had been of a few years standing, the use of ‘Fruit-a-tives’ proved the very remedy I required.
