coNoREasMEN APPLAUDED
 THE STATE oUARDsM EN
Request of Connecticut Artiilerymen to be Sent to Front Loudly CheSrsa in House of Representation.

Col. Henry s. Dorsey, commanding the Coast Artillery corps of the Con- necticut National Guard, Is in receipt of letter from Congressman P. Davis Oakley of Hartford, the contents of which should send a thrill of pride not only to the members of that or gantzation but to, the citizens of the state at large. A few days ago while the encanpment was in progress at Fort Wright, a telegram signed by all the officers of the IS companies was forwarded to the Asenators and congressman of Connecticut and the secretary of war, requesting that the corps be transferred from the coast artillery branch to the infantry and placed in active service.
 Congressman Oakley states in his letter to Colonel Dorsey that he took 1t upon himself to read the telegram on the floor of the house of represen- tatives and that it was received with and democrats alike. It was ordered that the telegram be entered upon the congressional record.
 Secretary of War Newton D. Baker has notified Colonel Dorsey that Sen ators Brandegee and Mclean and the members of the Connecticut congress sional delegation called on him and presented the request. Tn reply Secre- tary Baker wired that he regretted not being able at the present time to SbCSOCI I11C SOu1 dSSOuS O1lSE O1 l41G Connecticut companies. It is not con- templated to make use of the coast artillery companies in the present crisis, he stated, but the action of the volunteers would certainly be kept in mind.
 It is not the policy of the war de- partment to strip the forts of their garrisons, as enormous sums of mon ey have been expended in training the men for this particular line of work. If a call ever should come to the Con- necticut Coast Artillery from the fed eral government it would undoubtedly be for duty at the island forts.
 Colonel Dorsey has just received re- ports from the federal officers who acted as instructors at the recent en- campment. They are unanimous in their praise of the discipline and ef- f1ciency of the state troops and one officer an instructor at West Point, declared he had never seen better practice service.

About o'clock Monday night Jo- seph WaIski, IT years O fage and re- siding at No. 213 Yantic street was shot in the right knee py George Ca raclist, Greek, who was celebrating the advent of the Fourth with a load ed Savage automatic revolver. The boy is not considered in a dangerous condition as the bullet made only a flesh wound. He is confined to his home and is being treated by Dr. John $. BlaCkmar.
 CaracIist it is said started out soon after 6.30 with his Savage automatic and a pocket full of bullets to cele- brate "the night before" The Wal ski boy was sitting on his doorstep and one of the .32 cal. bullets entered his right leg at the knee: pr. John 5; Blackmar was immediately summoned and dressed the wound which proved to be a flesh wound as the bullet did not touch the bone.
 Shortly after the shooting Captain D. J. Twomey was notified at po- lice headquarters by telephone of the accident and he at once despatched Policeman Charles Vetter to investi- gate.
 Policeman Vetter was directed to the home of CaracIist and found tue man there. He placed him under arrest. When arrested the man had no re- voIver and no bullets on him.
 Policeman Vetter asked him what he had done with the revolver. The man, who understands but little English, finally took the officer to a bedroom where the revolver was found hidden under a mattress. It was unloaded and minus the magazine. The mag azine and bullets were later found by the police. Policeman Vetter took his man and the revolver to the police station where he was locked up on a charge of discharging fream without @ permit. Police Sergeant John Kane was also sent to the house to investi- gate.
 Auto Ambulance at Central Station.
 Chief H. L. Stanton announced on Monday that the Backus Hospital auto ambulance will be stationed at the Central Fire station over the Fourth. It is thought that quicker responses can be made by the ambulance for ac- cideut calls by having it stationed at the fire station. It will be right in the center of the city and ready to re- spond at once should it be needed.

THE BEST TEST
ls the Test of Time

Years ago this Norwich resident told of good results from using Doan's Kid ney Pills. Now Daniel J. Brown. pro- pr4efor repair shop, of Summer St. confirms the former statement-says there has been no return of the trouble. Can Noriwch people ask for more con- vincing testimony?
 MT. Brown says:
 The results that followed the use of Doan's Kidney Pills, procured at Sevin & Sons Drug Store, were so satisfactory in my case, in view of my experience. I can heartily recommend them as an excellent medicine for ton ing up the kidneys and relieving ail- ments, due to their disordered condi- ton"
 The above statement was given August 2S, 1908, and on May 18. 1916. MT. Brown said: T have had no oc- casion to use Doan's Kidney Pills since I recommended them in 1908. My cure has been permanent one."

STATE CORPORATIONS PAY
 NEARLY TWO MILLIONS
275o Contribute While 1767 Report No
 Profits to be Taxed.

The returns from the new income tax, levied on corporations by the state are now complete and they show a revenue from this new source of $1,- 637, ,2O0.45.
 There were 2,75O corporations that paid the tax and there were 1,767 that reported no profits or which to be taxed Besides these there were on record in the state secretary's office were exempt from this tax or had given notice of dissolution or filed certificates of withdrawal from cor pOrate operations in the state
 The tax is ? per cent. on the net profits of the year earned in Connec- ticUt. Concerns in this state with branches elsewhere paid only on their Connecticut profits and concerns of other states with branches here paid also on what was earned here.
 The tax of ? per cent, netting $1,- 637,230.45, indicates a total profit of 50 times that amount or $81 861, 1922. 50. Of course this differed incidentally as the size of the corporations themselves differs and the extent of their busi- ness. The statiStiCian who wants to ''estimate' can figure it out that the average profit of the corporations that made money was about $30.000. In cluding those that did not make any money to be taxed on, the averag ge profit was about $20,000. This last, however, is only a calculation" as the companies are not related.
 The chief fact is that this revenue of almost a million and quarters is new to the state and has come out of concerns that have been prosper Ous and whose managers prOpOsed the tax to the legislature.
