It didn't seem funnv at the time, but filmland is chuckling over Paramount's attempt to ship three elephants by truck to the Lone Pine location ot "The Lives ot a Bengal Lancer”. Two of the elephants took their ride calmly, but the third became nervous on the many curves ot the Ridge route north from Los Angeles. He started to sway gently from side to side. It was hardly noticeable at first, but soon the truck driver found his heavy machine practically tipping off the road. Worried attendauts finally had to stop the truck every half hour to let the elephant calm down.

Gotham’s Tax Free Institutions Under Fire In Assessment Move

New York City—(l. IN.)—The tax assessors are sharpening their knives for the last holdouts. And in New York City tbe first onslaught Is under way. Under the influence of Mayor Fiorello H. La Guardia, the muni, ci pal assessment board has ordered the fabulous art treasure bouse, known as the Morgan Memorial library, placed on the tax rolls. Scores of other previously tax exempted; institutions, such as churches, college dormitories and private hospitals, which have been used for commercial gain, now are "on the spot.” Statistics Requested In accordance with the move of the assessment board, hospitals i have been instructed to file Infor-' mation concerning the number of, bedrooms maintained; how much free clinical serf ice is given, and , the receipts from the renting of ambulances. Likewise, private schools must inform municipal tax authorities how many free scholarships they hand out. Columbia university, which has invested much of its endowment in commercial properties. | will be asked to give the tax in- 1 ] come of Gotham a boost. Baker Gield. Columbia's stadium, already has been returned to the rolls. Chief interest in the new tax move, however, is centered on the romantic Morgan library at Madison avenue and 37th street, which the present J. P. Morgan, world ; famous banker, founded as a memorial to his father, "Morgan the Magnificent”. Due to La Guardia's insistence, it goes down at a value of $1,665,00, though the building aud its contents in 1924 were valued by J. P. at $8,500,000. Since then, its treasures have been more than doubl-. ed, tor the present Morgan has continued his father's art patronage on a vast scale, and discerning co- i noisseurs term it one of the most valuable private collections in the world. Only Few Admitted Turned over to a board ot trustees, to be administered as a “public reference library”, it is generally barred to all except "accredited persons for reference study”. Obtaining written permission has been a bar to most of the public. Once Inside its walls, the average citizen is bewildered by the ' startling array of precious volum■es and works of art.

THE WILD DUCK HAS NO HOME HAVE you ever felt a sudden leaping of the heart when ducks come rushing through the wrack of a northeast storm? ... or a strange yearning at the sound of their babbling high against the Autumn moon? Moving southward ... moving to new feeding grounds ... free in the vast spaces that stretch from the Arctic to the Equatorial Zone! But the wild duck has no home. And your instinctive feeling at the sound of his rushing movement is not a desire to follow him away as it is to bag him ... to bring him to pot, as the keen hunger of autumn days warns you the time has come to prepare for Winter. The wild duck is not so free as man. Hunted from marshland and bay, he is driven from one precarious resting place to another, forever on the move, forever in danger. In Autumn the instinct of man is to dig in. It is primitive instinct, for the chief enemies of man are the forces of nature. He survives only because he is foresighted. He has the ability and the means to look ahead and prepare for storms. Instead of being forced forth to search the world for the things we need, the world brings us its best offerings. Advertisements provide civilization’s most popular and effective means of presenting the world’s best products to you at most reasonable cost.
