her at a New York New Year party. Os course it was one of those parties where every thing is supposed to go but perhaps that don’t *’ include such an embarrassment. .. However, during these strenuous 'i times a lot of people would take a little trimming for that amount of ‘ cash. r The interurban between Indian--2 > apolis and Richmond is to be abandoned. The owners have made ) a brave effort to keep it going but ; high taxes, high overhead and com- ) petition from the busses have 1 caused a continual loss the past ten years, so there seems to be nothing but to throw up the sponge. There is much of this and i we will feel it in the taxes more and more as wp go on, but we presume in these changes some means of off-setting that will be found. Just now it adds to the problems ot one of tlie toughest periods in American histoA’The legislature is false to its promises when it passes an old I age pension bill that will add a burden to the taxpayers. The cost is estimated at $1,500,000. but it will go much higher, if the experience of other states are to be taken as a guide. The bill, as passed I by the senate and accepted by tb-> house, calls for $25 a month to persons over 70 years of age. While the measure makes the law optional with the counties, as to whether they shall pay pensions, halt of the pension is to be paid by the county and half by the state. The county that does not accept the pension law would not escape paying its half. Were the law economically sound, taxpayers would be glad to accept it. but wherever tried tills pension system has’proved costly. It is indeed a poor time to increase costs of government and when the legislators return to their homes they will find out from the farmers and the home-owners that they have not complied with ttheir promise to keep down taxes. —Hartford City News.

» -— ♦ In The Legislature 50 Years Ago ♦ (U.R) ♦ Revision of the taxation ayitetn was a question ot vital importance confronting the legislators of 1881 even as it is today. They were confronted with the necessity of recodifying and taxing laws with an aim toward "more equal distribution o£ the cost of government." Arguments against new revenue raising measures brought almost the same comments as have been advanced by Senators in the present session. A speech by Senator Menzies, for instance was made containing the same expressions tha’ have been made recently. “There are interests in this state that do not wish to see this bill became a law." he said. "There are interests in this state tha’ pay no taxes at present, but would be compelled to pay taxes if this bill were to become a law. It reaches subterfuges by which millions of dollars in the state escape taxation every year.” - o f Household Scrapbook 1 By ROBERTA LEE ♦ (U.R) ♦ Sticky Fingers To wipe baby’s sticky fingers, fasten a damp sponge to the hign chair.

Different Cake Flavor A delicious flavor, and one that is "different,” is a few drops of lemon juice added to the vanilia extract when flavoring a cake. CLARA BOW iN “NO LIMIT” AND “CIMARRON” AT LOCAL SHOWS, STARTING SUNDAY For the first time since "Wings,” Clara Bow will wear a uniform when she appears in her newest talkie, “No Limit" at the Adams Theatre on Sunday, Monday and Tuesday, In "\yings" she wore the short skirt, tunic, overseas cap and Sam Browne belt of the women’s unit of the American Ambulance Corps. In "No Limit” she wears a more resplendent outfit —that of an usherette in a New York movie palace. Her commanding officer this time is Harry Green, Jewish-dialect comedian, who plays the part of the manager of the theatre. Others in the picture, which .was directed by Frank Tuttle, director of her last two previous films, are Norman Foster, lead in ‘ Young Man of Manhattan,” Dixie Lee. cute and blonde newcomer to the films, and Stuart Erwin, the vacuum-

brained comic who played in "Playboy of Paris." At The Cort "You can’t take pictures here. This set is not completed." said a visitor to Wesley Ruggles, when viewing tho town of “Osage." constructed at the Radio Pictures ranch for “Cimarron,” starring Richard Dix. “It is completed." said tho director.

“Wliy, some of thg buildings are only half up, everything is unpanted and there- are hoards, nail kegs and planks scattered all around. “That's exactly what I want." explained Ruggles. "The town of Osage in ‘Cimarron" was a halfconstructed boom town. This is an exact reproduction." Most of the dramatic action in the Edna Ferber story, now on the screen at the- Cort theater, takes place in the town of Osage. As the story progresses so does

ALL-BRAN BROUGHT - WELCOME RELIEF 1 twH Thousands of let to - attest to the efficiency of Kellogg’s AllBran in overcoming constipation. For instance, Mr. James D. McEnery, Alto, Texas, relates his experience: “For fifteen years I was constantly bothered with constipation. . . . Some eighteen months ago, I began using Kellogg’s All-Bran. From the first week to this good day, I have never had to take a dose of laxative medicine of any description.” Kellogg's All-Bran is the largest-selling all-bran cereal in the world. Two tablespoonfuls daily are guaranteed to give relief. How much safer than using habit-forming laxatives. All-Bran also adds needed iron to build the blood.
