OHIO DEBT LIMITATION LAW IS NOW IN FORGE; OPPOSITION DEVELOPES (By Associated Ptpss) COLUMBUS. Ohio. Jan. 2. Ohio taxing districts start on a pay-as-you-go basis. - .. The Grisvrold debt limitation law Is now effective, and it Is expected to be more far reaching and revolutionary

than the famous Smith one per cent law. The Griswold act was put on the statute books of the state- for one definite reason-1 prevent the promiscuous issuance of bonds and its provisions will affect every one of the t,RS2 taxing districts of the state. Provisions of . the Griswold act briefly are: Borrowing to pay current expenses of deficiencies Is prohibited, with certain exceptions. ' - All bonds must be issued in serial form and are to mature in annual In bailments beginning not later than one year from the date of Issue and bearing not more than six per cent interest. -. Maturity" limits are prescribed so that the term of these bonds will not exceed the lite of the asset for which they are Issued. Limit Refund Authority. Authoritv to refund bonds is limited.

Present limitations of 2Va per cent and 5 per cent, of the tax duplicate upon the net indebtedness of municipalities and townships have been retained. Current expense is defined as any ;isset such as building, street, bridge, or other improvement, the life cf which is less than five years. Public officials all over the state are wondering how they are going to make both ends meet, under this new law. Two things are absolutely necessary, ihey assert strictest economy and tin opening up of new sources of revenue. There is talk of a test suit on the provision that bonds must be issued in serial form. Some city attorneys assert that requirement is not constl tutional. '

The Parrot Vogue By FREDERICK J. HASKIN

NEW YORK CITY. Jan. 2 Parrots, animate and inanimate, are having a tremendous vogue this year. You encounter them everywhere in the fashionable drawing-room and library, on the stage and In the films, in the department stores and china Bhops, in

all the latest photographs of actresses, and even in the subways and trolley

cars. The other night a man whose nerves were In a ragged state after plowing through the Christmas crowds to attend to some of his wifes' neglected shopping, managed through great physical prowess and presence of mind to capture a seat on a Brooklyn train. Simultaneously, someone of great bulk and force of gravity came down upon his already aching big toe. The man Jumped and then swore quietly behind his barricade of packages. Much to his surprise, a deep, raucous voice, apparently coming from the floor of the train, immediately inquired: "What are you about? What are you about? What are you about?" The man peered hastily over his packages, but no one was paying any attention to him. Instead, they were gazing intently at a large packaged jammed against his knees. "It's a parrot," explained an amused feminine voice above him in answer to his alarmed glances. "A Christmas present for my husband. I've always wanted a parrot. They're such good company. The man who sold me this one said it could say 'How do you do?' and 'What are you about?' for hours at a time." Persian kittens and Pekinese are

no longer the chief treasure of the pet stores. Nor are canaries selling as

extensively as they did before the war These were the favorites of yester

thinks that the war is entirely responsible. "The desire for brilliant pets, clothing, and appointments," he explains, "has two main causes. Both of them lie fairly deep. One is the attempt of people to compensate themselves for the loss of the emotional stimulus and the excitement of activity that they had during the war. Brilliance of detail in surroundings and bright colors are an attempt to relieve the monotony, of days that are slack and grey for most people. Colors are a real help." As for the pet stores, they do not at

tempt to analyze the public's sudden

demand for parrots; they are too busy

selling them. According to a woman

dealer, whose store is in the West Seventies here, it is impossible to import the birds fast enough to supply

the demand. Most of the orders are for South American and Cuban parrots, but the African grey parrot.

which is a famous whistler, and has a gorgeous rose-colored tail, is also extremely popular. Huge, magnificent macaws are also a favori-te purchase. Can't Raise Parrots. "If we could only breed them in this country " said the merchant, "we could make a pile of money." "Are there no large parrot aviaries here, then?" we inquired.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2. Back from ihe Christmas holidays, congress is expected to enact with little delay a bill for adjusted compensation to veterans of the world war. As matters now stand, the Fordney

and McCumber compensation measures, both of which have the support of the American Legion, are before house and senate committees. No date has been fixed for a vote in either branch of the congress. Payment of compensation will, howevf r. officials here declare, be one of
