 There were many other claims before the committee which were for the abatement of taxes and interest.

 Charmion, the vfvacious. the 1.-the the athletic, the graceful and beautiful Char1nion-the worlds most perfect woman. will headline the bill at Polls next week. Manager Po1i has captur- ed Charmion for his circuit after close bidding against other circuits with his usual intention of giving to his pa- irons the cream of modern vaudeville Charmion has been the sensation of two continents-ir fact she is now. The title of Most Perfect Woman in the World" was bestowed upon Charmion by noted sculptor who sought her for a model because of her perfect physi- cal charms. The name "Charmfon'' was also given the beautiful performer by this same sculptor. NotwithStand- ing many offers from artists to pose as a model Charmion has remained true to her first love" vaudeville. Hence we will have the perfect wom- an'' with us next week.
 Charmion combines a most wonder full physical development surpassing the most vivid imagination with a marvellous grace of manner and beau ty of carriage. Charmion is not a freak. She is not gross She is a type of remarkably developed woman hood. the like of which has probably not been seen since the Roman days. Her physical charms Charmion ex- hibits in her bar work and trapeze ex- hibitions. She appears for arts sake more than for the mere commercialism of the profession. Recently Charmion headed the bill at Hammerstein's. She has been the great feature of interest in many of the leading vaudeville houses in the country. Her act in corporates running fire of witticism and persif1age and batter. Her cos tumes are brilliant and serve to set off her wonderfully developed self. Charnion unless all signs fail will be the weeks sensation here.
 In the supporting bill will appear several favoriteS rounding out a show well above the average.
