The report of the special committee teo the court of common council and its ac- ceptance Indicates,that the proper steps preliminary to the securing of import- ant changes in connection with our high- ways and the city charter “have been taken. By the addition of a large number of new voters through the effectivéness of woman suffrage the need of providing for their accommodation has made it.appar- ent that there nthst be more voting dis- tricts or longer hours for voting. bring about this change theré must be secured an amendmént to the chartsr which can be more speedily accomplished through submission to the general assem- bly, and thereby make cerfain that the edditional four and a half hours will be available for the next election. For “a long time Norwich has beeh {talking about the need of a general char- ter revision. In view of the changes' which have taken place, the amendments which have been made to the last revised chartor and the aMerations which ought . to be made the advisability of tackling - the Connecticut the job before it becomes any more com- plicated can well be appreciated. It is time that the document was brought up to date, shorn of its needless portions and With the amendments already made ard needed, incorporated therein. It is a task that cannot be accomplished in' a minute and ought not to be, but the council does well in following the may- or's recommendation in this respect and authorizing the work. The proposition for meeting the need for permanent streets must likewise meet Wwith the approval of the citizens. There is nothing of greater valye to a city than zood streets and there is nothing in the way of improved streets that insures such satisfaction and such economy in the end as the permanent pavement. Street prob- lems which have heen hefore the city for years will be ended wtih the propoeed in- vestment h highway work, and that will certainly b a most welcome change, not only in the way of better streets, but in. the relief that will be experienced from making appropriations. year after year fer tho building and maintenance of reads which it {s known will wear out in a few years. THE RIGHT POLICY. That was a strong endorsement which Chamber of Commerce Fave Governor lake and his stand for economy and efficiency in state govern- ment when President Bullard of the chamber said to the governor, “We offer ¥ou the services of the entire organiza- tien in your effort to safeguard the in- terests of the state.” It is of course only what ought to be expected but it indi- cates not only an approval of he poli- cles which have been gutlined by the gov- ernor but a determination on the part of thés organization of business men of the state to see that more than a passive in- terest is taken in getting the benefit of them It cannot fall to be recognized as a thme when there must be an enthusiastic backing given to the policy which turns ita back upon extravagant expenditures, considers the conditions which prevail to- day, gives due attention to what the real needs are and aets for the purpose of Ding down the taxation of those who ve been for a number of years carry- ing heavy burdens. The . taxpayers 1 zeneral will be eager to not only endorse the attitude which has been taken by the Connecticut Chamber of Commerce hat also that of the governor when he says “The watchword of this sesston of the seneral assembly will be intelligent eeon- omy, economy carried out so that it hurts a little.” From what the governor has smald at - different times it is obvious that he in- tends to mot only’ keep down expendi- tares. but to introduce reforms and it vossible bring about a better distrtbution \M taxes so that through additional reve. . of congress . permanent immigration law, while - nue the actual requirements may be taken care of and others ‘allowad to wait. There seems to be no limit to the ways in which the gtate could spend money if it“shonld grant all the requests made, and it had the money to spend. Tt is a time, however, when intelligent econ- omy ig called for and when such a pol- fcy deserves every support. CHECKS, BUT DOESN'T STOP. From the way in which the lower house tagkled the immigration problem it was believed that it was going 10 be quickly dealt with in congress, but the senate shattered any such hope. From the attitude that it displayed’ it was evi- dent that there was to be no rush, that a proper amount of dedberation was go- ing to be had nnd.thax instead of being amone the first matters disposed of it was likely to be among the last. In sonfe respects the senate has tackled the matter as if it was going to make a the purpose of the bill adopted by the house was to have it apply to the present time and meet the emergency until it wWould be possible for congress te give the whale question thn attention it deserved. That was evidenced when the provisien for the checking of immigration for a period ef two years was reduced to oné\ The idea was to stop the inflow of alens for only =0 long as it Was necessary in order to zgt our immigration laws into shapeip deal with the problem and properly pro- tect eur weifare. ¥ The scnate committee ofi immigration does not look with faver upon the year's exclusion.

While\ anususl sffopts are being méde in. congress to keep @own expeaditures and large skees are being cut off of the estimates as presented 'the couRtry e waiting to see What yill be déne with the usual quarter of & millibn or 5o that i approprinted every ysar for free seeds. Priation has gene theough in past years. There have besa good repsons for making ber of years, but there wag net énough in the twe houses who were willing to give up such a contact with the veters as the free sesds gave tham, even though the appropriation has been regarded as so much waste. ‘With a driye em for economy at this session, and With other appropriation bills being cut to the core it s time for this to go Into the discard. It gets the right kind of & start in #at direction when the sub-committes on appropria- tions recommends that it be eliminated. It finds that tis is a cépital time to plug up this Jeak and to put the money to such a use as Gebt and tax reduction. Many a good beginning suffers from sub- sequent treatment and there ig no, cer- tainty that the opinion -of the cortmittes will prove accéptable. Wheh the free seed proposition was before congress the last time jthere were indicatidns for a oon- siderable perjod that i would be deaten, but thérs was. no such Sutesme for the friends of the proposition wers strong enough te bring about its rastoration and it is possidle to find quantities of the seed in the hands of those Who haye no use for them while those who might have planted them, but have littie or no confidence in them, failed to get them. The free seed distrfbution is & benefit to those who raise and pack them. The idea might be well if sesG® which are not planted in dilferent sections of the country, but which could be used for the development of pew ereps, were disteth- Uted for the purpose of ‘detatmining the Tesults, but the pasking arouhd ef a half dozen of the common varieties of seeds comes a long way from impressing the people with the investment which 1S being made of the money. involved. HOME FOR AMBASSADORS, . Every littie while attention is called to the relatively poor pny which this country giyes to its diplomatic representatives ia contrast with that given by other coun- tries. It is plainly evident ‘why men of means have to be chosény fer such posi- tions, and this is espeeially smphasized when it becomes necessary for them to maintain their own residences, which murst be of a character cotrésponding to the position théy hold and necessarily expensive. I In this connection 'full recogmition of the situation was' prgpably takén by J. Pierpont Morgan when®he ‘offersd to this government his Lbndon residénce as & residence for the American ambassador. The Morgan home in London is a five- story building close to the present resi- dence of the American ambassador and while it is not large enugh for it to be a residence and the embassy building, it would not alter the present situation there, exeept that the expense of a res- idence would We eliminated from the ex- penses of the ‘ambassador, for the em- bassy and residence are now separate. Mr. Morgan's offer was favorably re- garded at the tune it was mede. That it has continued to grow in faver is - dicated by the bill Which has Been pre- sented to the menate by Chairman Losipe at the direction of the foreign relation committee, accepting the off.r. That it will meet the approval of eongress seems likely and indicatesperhpps the adoption of a new policy cohicerning residences of diplomats seems probable. That™ embas- siez as well as residences should be ae- quired instead of hired would seem to be for the interest of this government, when conditions are right, as well as for pther countries. It would put an end to the frequent changes when leases expire and the hunting up of new residences svery time a new gmbassador is assigned to a Post. But whether any change is to b made regarding the matter of embassies and residences the Morgan offer ig ap- parently regarded as teo-g00d to pass by. e ALAL-BOEES A DS o B LS EDITORIAL NOTES, You will of course, not overlook the fact that this is seif denial day. The delivery or exchange of hlows isn't confined to those who go up in dabens. There is sufficient need for new eonm- struction without having big fires to nee- essitate more. The price of coal is going to de a lot toward the prevention of fires from over- heated stoves. That boy who burned a scheal house to get a vacation is liable to.get & mweh different one than he anticipated. It will never do to forget that the Ar- menians are still deserving of all the as- sistanee that can be given to them.

Dry and brittle hair should noet be shampooed oftener thah phce a month, or ofice every six weeks; bil should be applied to the roots he n“,. twice a week, parting d dipping the finger tips inte the oil; this is then applied directly (o the scalp, being careful to avoid -getting it on the hair. There is a great deal of discussion 2s to how often a éream should be used on the finger nails. Most créams tend to make the cuticle grow longer, a thing which is nét particularly ge- sirable. There are ceetain créams, however, which are astringent in théir action, and if these are used on thé nails they “will ot encourage the growth of cuticle, but at the same time they will keep the cuticle soft and smooth. ‘The correct use of an ntrlnpnt i impertant and it should be tmpioyad aftér washing.

ODD INCIDENTS IN AMERICAN HISTORY 0 THE FIRST AMERIC ER, Somewhere in the old churchyard at Van Cortlandville near Peekskiil New York, lie the remains of the first com- mander of the American army. His name was Seth Pomeroy. When Seth died, on February 19, 1777, a long procession With mufled drumbs and reversed arms| moved slowly and sadly over the road, bearing to hie burial one of the nobiekt old heroes this country knew in its edarly days, but they failed to leave a stong lu mark his resting piace. The name and fame of Major Gen. Seth Pomeroy ought to be dear to every Americarm, .and yet how few of the present genmeration knew of his deeds of valor. His was a most dra- N COMMAND- matic life. eHe was born in 1708 .in| the little village of Northammto Mass. He grew up a resolute, God-, znrlnl man, and very daring. Hon- rs and public trusts were showeéred wpon him. He™ excmplified ail the virtues of an honest man and a Christian soldier. For thirty years he warred against the Indiads and ‘the French, and always with conspicuous bravery, and distinguished uccess, A specimen of the original Puritan, he counted obstacles in his way but as ttials to his faith, and bravelw sur- mounted them. 5 At the siege of Loui Teceived A letter from his wife say ing that the whole town was daily praying for him and for his command. He and two others were appointed to gen. said: “Fight, my brave boys, for the whole town is moved Wwith concern, #nd our fathers and mothers are hold- iAg prayer ~ meetings every night Fight, for the Lofd is on our side! Who shall be against us? And to him fhofe than tp nnv othe is due the fall of that great Louisville! fortrese. At the conc.usion Frénch war the old)soldier his sword and cuitivated the arts of peace, but the fires of religious pa- tritism and martial ardor burfied as Drightly as In the davs of his yomth and he and twb others were appointed generals of the’American armies at their rg Pomery hung up Texington though past seventy years of age, Pomeroy stopped neither oh ac- edunt of business nmor infirmities, but rodle directly to the front. Worn out with labor, he returned.in a few days to his farm in Connecticut. He had ‘barely reached his door when a o = told gitm - that the battle of Bunker was 500n to be fought. Nevér pausing for a moment, Pom- eroy turhied about and dashed a \for the scene. As oné horse gave away ‘be procured another amd another, ano reached Charleston Neck In the midst of the fray. H. g his horse to @ friend becauke it was too valuable to be shet, hg ran on foot across the neck, then kwenc by the enemy's shipping, and- up (o the hill, and leaped into: the trench on the heights: Putnam wrung his hands and Pomeroy, you here! God! I believe a eannon would wake you If you slept in the grave” Putnam offered | him the command; but. he refused, and took his place Wwith the Connecticut | troops. Pitcairn, who commanded at Lexing- ton, lead the British column. He pointed Pomeroy out to two sharpshooters and Pitcairn fell mortally wounded. The am- munition gave out, the soidiers bégan to retteat. - Pomeroy léaped upon the ram- part, waved over his head & gun made by himselt and shouted: “Dan’t run, boys. gon't run. Club them with your muskets, as I do. No enemy shill ever Yy he saw the bgek ‘ef Seth Pomero; Worn out after the battle, returned to his home. but fer came near Peekskill, said, Pomercy when dan he could noj | longer remain, and, at the earnest! solicitation of Washington, he took the eommand here, and at that piace he died on the 15th of February, Seth Pomeroy's early vocation of mechanic and gunehip was of good ad- vantage figter. During the siege of Loun: he had charge of more than twenty smiths who were engaged in drill- ing eaptured eéannon. It was a few days after the battle of Bunker Hill that Pomeroy received the appointment of seénior brigadier general, being first on the list among the sight namidd by congress. but as this action caused soms difficulty in the ad- justment 6f rank he declined the honor. hen Neéw Jorsey was ovérrun by the British 2& headed a force of militia from his neighdérhood and marched to tae rescue of Washington. He -reached the Hudson ‘river, but never returned.

Partnerships as such are not subjoct te the income tax, dut are required to make returns en Forms 1065 showing gross and mnet income. The net income of a pertnership is computed in the same manner and on the same basis the net income of an individual, exce 'that deductions for contributions to charitable, religious, and scientjfic organi- | zations are not permitted. Individual members are taxed on the distributive shares of net income from partnerships, Whether distributéd or not, and are required to include such shares in their individual return of income, even though they may not have been actually received. 1 not infrequentiy = happens that the figures in the individual return and partnership return do not eoincide, in, which event there is trouble for both the taxpayer and bureau.
