double the life of your clothes and is
the most economical soap you can use.

Because the state board declined to
accept bltulithic as pavement on
Asylum avenue from Twenty-fourth

The state board took exceptions to
the paving Of those streets with btu

paved with concrete, and 1t believed
that the whole length of the street

E Corporations Find Tax Law Is Strict

WHILE the treasury department is

with those corporations which have
failed to file their returns within the
specified time under the corporation
tax law, provided the failure has not
been due to a deliberate attempt to
evade the statute, at the same time It
Is not given much leeway under the
terms Of the act.
That is why several bills have been
introduced In congress for the purpose
Of relieving delinquent corporations

current year. Just why there should

understand, because this is the second
year that the law has been in force.

BEATING DRUM HIS HOBBY

Simon r. Bernheimer, a millionaire
brewer of New York, died recently
just as he was exultantly and delight
edly in the exercise OF his lifelong
hobby-beating a bass drum. II was
an odd revelation that a man Of great
wealth and large affairs had found his
keenest enjoyment In acting as a mu'
sician IN a band Bernheimer has
spent thousands of dollars in the sup
port OF a musical association for the
mere privilege Of welding the big
baton with its huge leather bali against
the side Of a booming drum. He had
Joined a Masonic order in order to
get an opportunity to play the bass
drum as a substitute In the band, at
tending rehearsals devotedly in the
hope that some night the regular bass
drummer would be absent and he
would get a chance. And when he
did get 1t the other night he attacked
the instrument with such vim and was
