STATE TAX MAY BE UNCHANGED .CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) B. Ulluni. inheritance tax collector, under a 1931 act. The act enables the state to dolled 80 per cent of the federal inheritance tax. Another additional source of revenue. the commissioners said, will be the pol Itax. They expect a large increase over last year’s poll tax. The commissioners also expect increased revenue from the 1931 act requiring auto license applicants to show poll tax receipts. L. S. Dowman, secretary of the tax board, said delinquent payees would be pressed to bring their payments up to date. This, he said, would increase revenue materially.

to commit murder. She is no Borgia, but the head of the Research D e p artnient at the R.K. - O. studio. Her name ii I Mrs. Elieabetl McGaffey, anc I she has been answering d i f f iCUlt quest ions for 17 years. She was the first r e s ea rch

worker of the films. Mrs. McGaffey’s education in the lethal art has come from the collection of thousands of clippings of strange homicides and unusual accidents. She files them away for use when some writer is stumped for a new method to polish off the villain. The clippings have added value because they reflect factual incidents with enough detail and local color to be of inestimable value in preparing a script. 1 Some of the clippings suggest complete plots. Theodore Dreiser, you recall, got the idea of “An American Tragedy" from newspaper accounts of the famous Gill-ette-Brown murder case. ADD LEFT-HANDED COMPLIMENTS. It seldom happens that Wilson Mizner is on the receiving end of a joke. Not so long ago, however, a stock actor approached him about a play. “I want to congratulate you," he said. "1 think you have written the greatest play for stock companies I ever read." In his expansive way, Mizner thanked him. Then he asked: “Why do you like it?” “Because,” said the actor, “you can play any act first?” LATEST GOSSIP. Carole Lombard’s illness was brought on by fasting.

SURVEY REVEALS EXTRA SESSIONS Chicago, — (UP) — Forty-four I states will convene in regular session this year, and three states have convened in special session. ! a- survey made by the American Legislators’ Association has reveal I ed. Only nine states will convene in regular session next year, eight of them in January. Five states which have annual sessions— Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, Rhode I Island and South Carolina will meet , early in the year along with Kentucky, Mississippi, Virginia and Louisiana, the states whose regular sessions fall in even numbered years. The Louisiana meeting will open in May. • Possibility that there will be numerous extra sessions of the several | legislatures to consider pertinent questions, is to be considered, Senator Henry W. Toll, director of the association said. He pointed to the possibility of a second special session of the Texas legislature to reconsider a bill to control cotton production. Louisiana's special session last month enacted Governor Huey P. Long's bill prohibiting planting of cotton in 1932 and it was felt that other cotto producing states might follow suit. HOSPITAL NOTE* George Andrews, Decatur, Route 5, was admitted totth e Adams County Memorial Hospital where he will receive medical treatment. Cornelius Schirack, Decatur, Route 2. submitted to a major emergency operation last night at the Adams County Memorial Hospital. o Nature Helps Remove Pin From Child’s Throat La Salle, 111., Sept. I. — (U.R) — Nature played an important part in the removal of a poitlon o fa safety pin from the throat of Margaret Olin, 15. inmate of a local orphanage, recently when physicians broke the pin in attempting to remove it with forceps. The child swallowed the open pin more than a year ago but suffered no ill effects for a period of six months, at which time a heavy niu- | cus was raised indicating an internlal congestion.

Interesting angles on celebrities can be furnished by Hollywood’s better known maitre d’hotel, Joe Mann, now presiding at the Roosevelt, knows the kind of food that all the stars like to eat. Maurice Chevalier, for instance, has a preference for chicken hamburger. Jesse Lasky’s favorite dish is boneless squab stuffed with wild rice and apples. Mary Pickford likes broiled chinook salmon. Ronald Colman finds an appetizing dish in sirloin steak cut in chunks and served with corn on the cob. And then there’s the vegetable plate brigade. But why go into calories? LIKE MARLENE. The Warner raid, which cost them Ruth Chatterton and William Powell, gave Paramount a profound shock.

i & I W'Jelb May Marlene Dietrich.

They are taking no ghances on Marlene Dietrich. The German star has been given a new contract seven months before the expiration of her old agreement. She does one more picture after “Shanghai Express,” and then will take a European vacation. It won’t be necessary for her to return until

April 2. Isn’t it amazing to reflect that Marlene has become one of the best known figures in the motion picture world after only two films in Hollywood? “Morocco” was the first and “Dishonored” the second. And, of course, there was "The Blue Angel,” made in Germany, FOR LAUGHTER’S SAKE. Those reliable laugh-getters, Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy, are shortly to embarke upon a new comedy, "Tattooed.” It is a waterfront story, in which Stan and Oliver have numerous misadventures in a sailors’ boarding house. Alan Lane and Jacqueline Wells will be in the cast, and James Horn is to direct. DID YOU KNOW That Hugh Herbert, the comedian, has a house at Malibu, but has never been in the surf?

' vealed the pin in the right lung, its | point in a direct line with the i heart. The heavier portion of the pin I was removed in an operation but the movement of the forceps broke | the pin. leaving the pointed part in the lung. Another operation brought the remainder of the pin to the I girl's throat but the rested condition of the metal caused it to break I again. A coughing spell expelled lit before a third operation could' , be performed. o Woman Ends Own Life Huntington, Sept. 18 — (UP) — Mrs. Emmet Gistler committed sui- ; cide at her home here by slashing ' her threat with a razor, while' j standing behind her 12-year old i ! daughter, who was engaged in a ' telephone conversation. o Huntington Man Dies Fort Wayne, Sept. 18 —(VP)w | Scott H. Meyers, 30, Huntington. was killed here when the auto in . which he was riding collided with : another. D. Moran. 30, also of Huntington, riding with Meyers, was in- ■ jured probably fatally. o Now Texas Oil Statistics ' | Austin, Tex. —(UP)— Statistics on the East Texas oil field, recently shut down by martial law, have ! been compiled by the Bureau of Bui siness Research of the University , of Texas showing that from Nov. 5. i 1930, until shortly before the shut down the field produced more than 45.500,000 barrels of oil. Seventeen trunk pipe lines totaling 1,845 miles have been built beside 4 short lines to loading track where the oil is taken by tank ears. A posible two . billion barrels for the field is cited. Quarry Workers Find Jaw Os Mastodon Urbana, 111., —(UP) —Discovered by workmen in a stone quarry, near East St. Louis, several months ago i a fragment of a mastodon’s jaw- | bone, believed to be 100,000 years old, now occupies an important I place in the University of llinois museum here. Quarry employes found the bone ; while cutting down to layers of ; stone 40 feet below the presentßand ! surface. Half the distance down the huge bone was found hurried in clay known as Peoilan loess. o Set the Habit—Trade et Hom*

OLD CANNON BALLS RECALL FAMED SIEGE History Uncovered As “Old Ironsides” Visits Philadelphia Philadelphia, .— (U.R) — With the announcement by Governor Gifford Pinchot that Sept. 17 will be celebrated as Constitution Day, the arrival of the frigate, "Old Ironsides," as the Constitution is known, in Philadelphia on Sept. 17 will seem appropriate. By the historical significance of its visit to the city where the Constitution was drafted in the old state house that witnessed the signing of the Declaration of Independence, is increased by the fact that recently two ancient stone cannon balls which are connected in history with the frigate were re-dis-covered here. Out at the Naval Home, on Grey’s Ferry Road, two huge granite 'balls guard the entrance. On the easterly side is cut deeply, in letters about an inch and a half high: Obtained by Commo. J. D. Elliott, U. S. N., at tile Hellspont on the Asiatic side of the Dardanelles in the year 1838. Brought home in the U. S. Frigate Constitution and presented by him to the Naval Asylum. Thus, for almost a century, these two relics, reminders of a gallant officer and a gallant ship have stood their vigil. For years the granite spheres were regarded merely as mementoes with little significance attached to them. Recently Rear Admiral Albert Gleaves. U. S. N., who has just retired, wrote an article about them. Aiken Simons, an ordinance expert became interested and identified the balls as fired from she great Turkish seige gun—The Basilisk—at the seige of Constantinople in the middle of the 15th century.

MOTIVE FOUND FOR DROWNING .CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE. tigation. Dr. Vanderslice announced the letters on which a large part of the case against Kane is based were I signed “E. H. D.” and were believed to be from “Betty Bobb" of New York City, and employee of the Trans-Atlantic liner America. The letter purportedly suggest-) ing that the professor "get rid" of his wife had been destroyed, the coroner said. He released the text of another letter, however, to "Sashy Dear" from “E. H. D." in which she said: “There were numerous times, Sashy, when I wondered it you and I would ever get leisure to do some of the “Old World’ places together —the good and the bad. Do you still have any dreams of my ever being | a part of your life? If you ever get rich would you take me to the “unusual’ and would we do the “ unusual?’ ” This letter was dated "on board S. S. America. Sept. 1. 1931.” Mrs. Kane was drowned while swimming with her husband, at an isolated point on Grand View ; beach, near here, on September 11. Kane has been held in jail withI out bond since his wife's burial Sunday afternoon. Kane contends that his wife accidentally drowned despite his frantic efforts to rescue and revive her when she apparently was injured in diving. Conflicting stories of fisherman who said they saw tlie d: owning a distance were present at coroner’s inquests this week. Commonwealth’s attorney Cooke admitted there is evidence to show Mrs. Kane knew of the “other woman" in her husband's life, and that ! the couple had been reconciled before her death. Mrs. Kane had been visiting he. parents, Mr. and Mrs. W. C. Graham weeks this summer. The professor arrived last Thursday—the day be tore his wife was drowned —from ’ Fort Bragg. He is a major in [ the army reserve corps and has been accustomed to attending summer military encampments at Foil I Bragg.
