TAX DEBATE OPENS IN HOUSE TODAY In Meantimc Democrats Are Prepar- ing Minority Report—Final Vote on Saturday. ‘Washington, Aug. 17.—The housq took up the republican tax revision bill today under a rulé calling for a final vote late Saturday. General de- bate was limited to vwo days with the remaining time given to considera. tion of amendments under the five minute speech limitation. Before the houss met the democra- tic members assembled in caucus for a third time to complete plans for their fight on the measure. They held their first session yesterday af- ternoon and the eecond last night, but failed to reach anal conclusions after nearly five hours of discussion. It -was understood efiat most of the time was given over to the wording of a resolution under which the mem- bers would be boun® to vote solidly against the republican bill. This reso- lution was drawn after the caucua had received a telegram from Rep- resentative Kitchin, the democratia leader, who is ill at Scotland Neck, N. C., urging united opposition. Democratic members of the ways and means committes wera busy early today on their minority report. They have until Friday to fila their report. Chairman Forduey of the ways and means committee, had charge of thae bill on the floor and was expected to divide the time for general debate about evenly between the democrats and republicans. sure Relie 6 BELLANS Hot water Sure Relief N} Ladh = - ¥y CROWLEY BROS.

C., Aug. 17.—Home brewing and distiling, provided €he liquor thus made is not sold, would be immune from the prohibition en- forcement agencies, under an amend- ment to the anti-beer bill adopted by the House. The vote was 96 to 54. The victory for the cellar distilleries and the kitchen breweries marked the irst time since the emactment of the Volstead law that the anti-prohibition- iats have been able to achieve any semblance of success- in their at- tempts to modify the drastic dry laws. ‘Wet leaders were plainly puzzled at the House action, because of its nor- mal overwhelming dry majority, but both wets and drys admitted that the effect of the amendment is to allow home brewing and: distilling without fear of molestation from prohibition agents. The strangest part of the proceedure is that Representative Volstead, veteran dry legislator, spon- sored the amendment. The action was taken in an unusual vay. The House substitute for the 3tanley amendment which the Senate approved and which would prohibit any sort of searches or seizures by prohibition ‘agents without legal war- rants, was up for consideration. The House proposal, as written by Mr.| Volstead, prohibits dry agents from searching private homes without a warrant. Then it emphatically de- clares that no warrant shall be issued unless there is reason to believe the private dwelling is being used as a place in which liquor *is manufactur- ed for sale or sold.” Under the wording of the amend- ment, home brewing and distilling, so long as it is done to quench the thirst of the head of the house or his friends, ~learly would not be a cause for a warrant. B The action creates an unusual sit- uation. The making of liquor in the home is illegal under the Volstead law, which prohibitssthe making of any liquor anywhere for beverage pur- poses. But the home brewer cannot he punished for his violation pecause the dry agent cannot obtain a seare¢h warrant to produce the evidence.. BULL GORES TWO, ONE DYING Son-in-Law Hurt Trying to Save Pic. nic Grounds Owner" Huntington, W. Va., Aug. 17.— Charles E. Wilson, owner of the Wil- son picnicking and campipg grounds on Pea Ridge Road, is dying as a re- sult of having been gored by a bull. Cline Doss, son-in-law of Wilson, was knocked down and painfully injured when he attempted to rescue Wilson. Wilson had gone into the pasturc and the anima made a dash for him. In running to escape the infuriated animal, Wilson fell and the bull over- took him before he could arise, gor- ing and trampling him. Every rib in Wilson’s body was broken and he was badly cut and lacerated. Doss ran to his father-in-law and was knocked down and gored. Others hurried to the rescue of the two men and succeeded in dragging both, who were uncon- scious, to safety. IDENTIFIES HIGHTO! . Priest’s Housckeeper Says He Disap- peared With Alleged Slayer. San Francisco, Aug. 17.—Willlam A. Hightower was identified yester- day by Miss Marie Wendel as _the man who called for Patrick E. Hes- lin on Aug. 2, the night the priest disappeared. Miss Wendel was the priest’s housekeeper. Her identifica- tion was substantiated by Mrs. Bian- chi, a neighbor, who also was posi- tive in her statements. . Mrs. Dorothy Fisher Gifford of Oakland, a cabaret entertainer, who ad been ‘identified as Dolly Mason through descriptions given by High- tower, confronted him and neither recognized the other. After several hours’ examination I don’t care it I do any more to help myself or not. If 1 hang, I'd like to have Mr. Swart hang me, because he is a little more sympathetic than the rest.” TELLER AND GIRL GONE; BANK MISSES $75,000. Denver, Aug. 17.—Edwin A. Morse, 32, head teller at the International Trust company here, has disappeared along with about $75,000 in cur- rency, it was announced yesterday. Miss Mabel Penfold, 22, a filing clerk at the bank, also is missing. All of the missing funds are in currency. The young man is supposed to have “taken everything in sight” when he closed his books Saturday night. ' Morse was married, but had no chil- ATen; - ) TR SN HOME NO LONGER A SCHOOL ROOM Movies and Shop Windows Influ- ence Girl of vToday The same situation applies to New Britain as to all other cities and towns about the United States in regards to the home influence of the girls of. to- day. Movies, shop windows, and the factory are replacing mothers as teachers of the girls of today, accord- ing to Mrs. Robert Speer, the presi- dent of the national board Young ™Women's Christian association. In a recent edition of the monthly maga- zine of that association received by Miss Jean Wardrobe, secretary of the 'acal Y. W. C. A, Mrs. Speer has the tellowing to say ‘“We have given the girl of today almost unrestricted opportunity; then if we do not like her choice, we are quick to offer harsh judg¢ment instead of - Sympathetic advice,” says Mrs. Spéer. “We have not taught that self ¢iscipline is the first step towards. lib- ery.” “In one district in Chicago alone there are fifty thousand girls in one industry, all of them out of their homes all day and many living from home,” Mrs. Speer added. ‘“What is happening to these girls in one city 1s happening to groups of varying size in every city in the country,” she con- tinued. ‘“‘These girls cannot share such wisdom as their mothers have to offer.” Although New Britain is a small city in comparison with the many in America, there are some girls who ttay at the Y. W. C. A. all of the year round who have homes but are work- ing in''this city and must live here. This i8 particularly true of teachers, many of whom live at the local Y. W. ©C. A. during the school year. Every- ihing possible is being done at the institution to aid the girls and give them some home surroundings. In continuing her article, Mrs. Speer rays, “Fifty years of close study of girls has evolved a new science as ex- acting, as necessary as honorable, as old as professions of medicine and re- ligion—that of girl expert.” It isithis distinctly new profession that the Y. W. C. A. within its own. organization nhas created to help girls all over, the world. DRUNKS NUMEROUS IN BRITISH ISLES Health Is: Better; However, -and| Deaths Fewer > London, |Aug. -17.—Drunkenness in/: creased by-over 65 per cent. in Eng+ land during last year, acording to of+ ficial licensing statistics. The reac- tion after the war period of sobriety was shown by 95,/83 . convictions, compared with 57,948 in 1919.. There were only 29,075 convictions in 1918, The convictions of women were 3 per cent. more than in 1919, and mor’- than double the total of 1918. A Daily Express, while admitting | the figures are startling, atmbutel‘ the increase in convictions to the cons tinuance of .early -closing regulations enforced during the war and syuggests that ‘“‘people ‘who are denled reason- able facilities for obtaining liquor, have taken in their resentment more than was good for them when they could get it”’ The paper also holds that the closing of properly conducted saloons has led to the opening .of many bogus.clubs and illicit drinking dens. Official health returns for 1920 just issued jndicate, on the other hand, that the nation as a whole is distinct- ly healthier. Tuberculosis figures are the lowest recorded since compulsory notification came into force. Tha number of deaths from consumption was 33,469. The infant mortality rate, 80 per| 1,000 is also the lowest recorded, while the birth rate rose from 18.5 in the previous year to 25.4 and the death rate, 12.4, shows a decline at most ages. WON'T GIVE UP BABY . NOW IT HAS ARRIVED Kansas City, Aug. 17.—The baby advertised before its birth for adop- tion won’t be given away. It has ar- rived—a big healthy girl. The mother refuses to give it up. 1 With the father ill and unable to work, and with three other children to care for, the mother advertised sevral weeks ago for some one to take the baby as soon as it was born. Let- ters were Teceived from all over the country advising the mother to keep her baby and proffering aid should it be needed. Now that the little girl is here the mother holds her tightly. “I never would give her up,” she said toddy. Matters are straightening out in the home. Piles Can’t Be Cured from the Outside.

CUTTING CHARITY American Child Relief in Austria Gets Sharp Cut When Pruning Zaife is Started. Vienna, Aug. 17.—A new survey of economic conditions has caused the American Child Relief to make a drastic cut in its charity in Austria. Tt is proposed this summer gradually to reduce the number of children fed to 200,000 and these will be confined largely to Vienna and other cities where much want will be faced d‘rln,s' ¢ The general improvement in the rural regions is illustrated by the ac- tion of the Americans in closing 68 of their kitchens in Upper Austria alone in one week. All children of par- ents in fair financial circumstances are excluded under the new program as well as children of farmers. In other words, American relief will be confined to those in actual necd.
