tertaining comedy Potash 4 Perlmutter,

New York company before Il fair sized
audience. The play is based on the we'll
known Saturday Evening Post stories
written by Montague Glass. who made
his reputation through them and
hit off the more Iaughable character
istics of the ordinary type of Jewish
clothing manufacturer, at the same
time doing justice to his sterling and
human qualities. 1t was full of laughs
thus fulfilling the chief aim of up-to-
date farce, There was plenty of ro-

The French have driven back the first

from Saint Soupplets in the Marine

attacking in five columns, their greatest
strength being thrown against the

as one of the decisive engagements of

BRATTLEBORO MEN
BEHIND PROJECT
Terrin Brothers and Shea Interested in
Plan to Build Several Tenements
in Wilmington.

Some Brattleboro men are behind a
proposition looking to the building of
some tenements in Wilmington The
Wilmington Times of this week SAYS:
1.-The acquiring by Carl Barnard of
about three acres of land from John
Basset this week will, if present plans
are carried out, give to the village
several tenements, the need of which
has so long been felt. These Brattle-
boro men, c. w. Terrill and brother
and Frank Shea, have been here this
week looking over the ground with
the view of buying land on which to
build, and Mr.. Barnard has given
them the privilege Of buying several
building lots from the piece which he
has Just purchased, a privilege of
which it is said these gentlemen will
avail themselves. On the land thus
acquired it is said that the Messrs.
Terrin and Shea will erect three OF
tour modern tenements, the work to be
commenced in d very short time.
The Terrill brothers are contractors
and builders of some prominence, and
| Mr.. Shea is a well-knOwn marketman
Of Brattleboro. 1t is asserted that there
are in Brattleboro between $40 and l5C
| vacant tenements, which is the reason
| that the gentlemen named did not
consider an investment there, but Sc
lected Wilmington, where it is known
| that rhe need of buildings of the tene
ment kind has long been felt.
| If the plans are carried to fulfill
ment, it will be big thing for vii
mington and will doubtless be but tn,
foreIunner Of further and greater ad
Vancement in the building line. -

SEEK MEASURE TO
PROVIDE REVENUES
Senate Financiers Plan to Off,

After a conference with Secretary
of the Treasury McAdoo. today, Son
ator Simmons, chairman of the Sem
ate Finance Committee. announced
that some measures must be adopted
to provide revenues for the Govern
ment, since the income from foreign
duties had been so sharply reduced
by the falling off of imports on &C
count OF the war.
1T goes without saying" said Sim.
mons, that the form Of taxation
which we must agree upon in order to
raise the money necessary to run the
Government will have to take the
form of internal revenue. A change
in the tariff duties would not ma
the imports would not be affected
by such an arbitrary change.
Our total revenue from tariff on i'm
ports is about $500 900 900 a year. Two
thirds of these imports are from Eu-
rope, but ] think $500. 0t0, 900 is much too
large figure at which to estimate our
loss. since there is no doubt we will
continue to receive some imports from
England and from the countries which
are not at war. / think 500 900 oOC
would be a liberal guess as to the de-
ficit in the Treasury which will be
caused in the course Of year by the
continuation of war conditions.
THE method of taxation to be in
voked will be decided upon at further
conferences, but 1t must be measure

WAR ON TRACHOMA
IS MAKING PROGRESS
Public Health Service Studying
Eye Disease That Has Bat
fled Mountain Physicians.

Two years ago a cry for help came
from Kentucky. Miles from the rail-
road, upin the mountain counties, says
a writer in Worlds Work. the people
were suefrring from trachoma. How
long It had been rife there. where II
came from. and how severe or how
widepsead II was no one knew. Only
the local health authorities had fornd
that they were unable to cope with II
successfully. Then they sent their cry
for help to the United States Public
Health Service.
Trachoma is a painful and disfuring
affection which attacks the inside OF
the eyelid first. resulting In infanma-
ton. which, in turn, as II heals, results
In scar tissue. II Is this scare tissue
which, constantly irritating the eyeball.
causes the formation Of scars across the
cornea, producing blindness.
Hhe first work was put into tire hands
Of DR.. John McMullen. passed assistant
surgeon OF the United States Public
Health Service. In the summer II 1912
he made an investigation in the wilder
ness on the Kentucky side Of the Appa-
Iachian mountains. where they form the
great OlNlQc between nentuVNy vi tIic
west and Virginia, West Virginia. and
Tennessee on the east and south. He
found that 80 to IS per cent q. families
were Infected in some neighhorhoods.
Last September a hospital for these
folk was opened at Hincman. Ky. In
November another was opened at Hy-
den. in Leslie county. A third hospital
was opened In March at Jackson. Up to
June s, there were SIPS treatments. 81
hospital cases, and $40 operations to
the credit OF the three hospitals.
Over In Jefferson county. across the
State of Kentucky. the 35.ca7 school
children have been examined. and the
name of every child with trachoma Is
known to the local health authorities.
And on the eastern watershed of the
IAppalachians. through West Virginia,
Virginia. down into the Carolinas, into
eastern Tennessee and Georgia the doc
| tors OF the public health service are at
work studying and reporting on the eyes
! of n, 900 school children. while scattered
through the Western States fifteen
other doctors are at work among the
| Indians.
Before II gets through the health serv-
/ ice hopes to make a complete demon
| stration of how to make trachoma In
these States as extinct as the dodo.
