EXCISE TAX REGULATIONS APPLYING TO MANUFACTURERS With the repeall by the revenue act of of the so-called luxury tax on arti- es of men’s_and women's weaX parel, and otfer changes in tax legisla- tion, ‘the bureau of internal revenue has issued new regulations (47 and 48) re- lating respectively to the excise tax on sales by the manufacturer of certain ar- ticles—automobiles and accessories, ca- reras, candy, firearms, cigar and clgar- e holders, liveries, hunting garments, rpets, rugs, trunks, etc—and the ex- tax on works of art and jewelry. The principal changes in the latter s are that the tax on works of art is duced from 10 to 5 per cent. and that e tax on jewelry and similar articles, which remains at 5 per cent., no longer includes gold or sflver ornamented glass- es and spectacles. The tax on works of irt attaches on all sales except the orig- inal sale by the artist, a sale to an edu- cational imstitution or public art museum and sales by dealers for resale. While the tax on musical instruments has beéen repealed, certain Instruments. such as cornets, clarinets, etc., If made of or ornamented with silver or other precious meta, are taxable. Fountain pens equipped with gold pen points are also taxable. Monthly returns and payments of the tax on works of art and jewelry are re- quired of the vendor. Section 904 of the revenue act of 1921, which in the reverue act of 1918 inciuded the tax on certain articles of wearing apparel, provides only for a tax of 5 per cent. of the amounts paid for the follow- Ing articles in excess of the follow i Carpeis, $4.50 a square yars 6 a square yard; trunks, $35 e vallses, traveling bags, sult cases. h ed by travelers and fitted tollet each; purses, pocketbooks, shopping and hand bags, $5 each; porta- ble lighting fixtures. lamps of all kinds and lamp shades, $10 each; nad fans, $1 each.

Fach pen laid 45 eszs. Up until this time the Rocks, Reds and ndottes have laid more th shares of the total egg vield. The rns constitute 40 per cent. of the birds entered in the contest but up to the middle of February they have laid only 6 per cent. of the eggs. From this time on however the Leghorns are expected to gain on the heavier breeds. They are en- abled to do this becaunse the average Leg- horn loses only four or five days a year on arpunt of foroodiness whereas Rov and Wyondottes will run up nearly thirty days a year and average Rhode Island Red wil llose nearly forty davs. The man- agement estimates f! dioring the com- ing spring and summer all the birds in the contest taken together will be broody 2,000 times. So mar as laving is concerned these hens will be on strike for a period of nearly sixty “hen years” In the lay- ing contest a hen year meeans 160 ezgs or the number that each hen is expect2d to lay during her stay at Storrs.

(applause) particularly to Mrs Minor the. president general, for per- mitting us to meet in this commedious building where we are the guests of this important patriotic organization.” “This building has many memories. but I trust in the opinion of the Daughters of the American Revolution it is invested with a special sanctity and with a most precious memory, be- cause here the spirit of democracy which they desire to see supreme has been evidenced in ur collaboration as representatives of great peoples, in order that we may have in place of a worse than fruitless competition a ‘generous co-operation expressive not of sinister ambitions but of that true spirit which we, as representatives, have sought here to evince, because whatever governments want, the peo- ples of the earth want justice, peace and security.” Mrs. Minor had presented the con- ference with a gavel which hadsbeen used at all the committee and plena- ry meetings, and which was then re- turned to her and is amongst the pres- cious belongings of the society.

WOULD MAKE ARMY CONFORM TO BUDGET Washington, Feb. 17.—A suggestion that congress fix upon a lump sum ap- propriation it is prepared to vote for maintenance of the regular army for the next fiscal year and then ask the war department to work out an army plan that would yield the maximum of n.ilitary efficiency within that expendi- ture was laid today before the house sub-committee on army appropriations at its initial consideration of the 1923 army budget. Major General Harbord, deputy chief of staff, was the only offi- cer heard. Committee members sald General Harbord had advanced the lump sum appropriation suggestion in view of the evident desire of the committes to ob- tain an idea of what would be done With the army in the event of reduc- tion of the authorized enlisted strength below the present 150,000 figure, It was indicated that the officer had point- ed out the difficulties of shaping a well rounde dmilitary program on the basis of authorized strength alone and urged that it would be more sound procedure to state the sum that would be avail- able and then cut the army cloth to fit that material. Back of the suggestion lles a hepe in military circles that congress will work out a continuing financial policy for the army covering a period of years. It is argued that if the army could know just what funds would be made avail- able each year for the next thres or four years it would be possible to frame a constructive program and to lessen the apprehension among commissioned and enlisted personnel as to their future In the service. —_— STATE POLICE MADE TWO LIQUOR ARRESTS IN NEW HAVEN New Haven, Feb. 17.—State police to- night arrested Alfredo Lombard! and Genaro Marino of New York, and Salva- tore Monco of East Haven on charges of violating the liquor laws, The ar- rests came after an investigation of a fire which destroyed Moneo’s home in Fast Haven today.

It depends upon the length and neat arrangement of the filling leaf. A well made, com- pact cigar has greated consistency than a badly put together one. But its doet not follow that the tobacco is better: a tobacco expert writes. A surer test is when the ash is flick« ed off. The glowing point should be sharp. The sharper the point the bet« ter the cigar. As regards the ash, it is a common fallacy that white ash is a sign of & fine, and dark ash the sign of an in« ferior, leaf. The real truth is that the color depends upon the strength of the tobacco. A very mild and cheap cigar will give a pure white ash. The finest Ha~ vana of ripe strength produces a black« ish ash. It does not follow that a cigar which burns imperfectly is bad tobac- co. You may have lighted it badly er it may be clumsily made. P. T. Barnum often lectured on tem« perance.
