REBUILDING OF DUBLIN

What Dublin will do in the way of
rebuilding no one seems to know, al
though a committee has been organized
for the purpose of studying the mat
ter and is now hard at work upon the
preparation of report 1t is not at
all imossible that the Irish metropolis
may gain in beauty (strictly modern)
as result of the destruction, as SO
many American cities have gained
through the destruction caused py great
fires.
AS a matter of fact, at the present mo-
ment. Dublin is the most American look
ing town in the United Kingdom. It's
appearance is exactly comparable to tnat
of Baltimore after her great conrlagra-
ton. There is not SO very great olIIer-
ence between the look of building
which has been shot down and then
burned and one which has burned first
and then has fallen down.
In the minds of many whose thoughts
instinctively consider sociological PROB
lens it seems rather pity that the riot
did not occur in Dublin's vile slum Sec
ton, where tenement house condlt1ons
such as would not be tolerated in New
york and Chicago, VIGOROUSLY exist
If the population had been warned
carefully away, no city section
in the world would really haze been
better fitted than the Dublin slums to
form the battlefield of fine, wall shak-
ing and roof raising riot. The buildings
are not high, down there, so the conges-
ton of population to the acre does not
approach that in some American cities
where tenements are piled up, four to
floor. for five of six floors on a % foot
building lot, but the room crowding is in
credible, and the population to the square
ward of floor area is probably higher
than it is anywhere in the United States.
SLUM CROWDING KILLS BABIES
In modern conditions it Is floor crowd
ing, rather than ground crowding, that
counts. In 40-story building, covering
an acre, for example, 400 people might
abide, with, actually, a population or
10 to the acre, while in q. one-story build
ing the same number of residents would
mean population of 400 to the acre
Sanitary-certainly air-conditions In the
4O-story building would be perfect. In
the one-story building they would be
ra Their bad, though not SO bad as in one
New York district which l know of,
where there Is an acre of fiye-story build
ings housing 3S6 human beings.
But there is, today, in New York city
nor in any other American city that
know of, any situation quite so bad as
that existing in the Dublin slums, and
this is largely due to the fact that they
were built before science began to study
housing.
The reaction against the conditions
which bred the mob there, has started
all sorts of studies and investigations and
report made by an official body since
have been in Dublin shows that the
death rate among infants in these slums
is higher than it is anywhere else in
Europe.

STOP PAIN MISERY

Remove pain misery as many thou
sands of others have done, by applying
Minard's liniment, an old, reliable pre-
scription. No other remedy acts SO
quickly or effectively. 1t is pure and
antiseptic, wonderfully soothing, and
is the most effective remedy for rheu-
matte pains, soreness and stiffness OF
joints and muscles, lameness, sore
hands, tired, aching feet, pains in
chest, sore throat, and for sprains,
strains and bruises. You cannot af-
ford to be without it, for it's use is
never disappointing, and it cannot pos
sibly harm or burn the skin.
Do not suffer-get bottle of Minards
iniment from any drug store.

S. Booth of New York city, who was
arrested in the latter part Of Novsm-
Der for polygamy ana who was also
indicted under charge of committing
q statutory ofense, changed his plea
to guilty and was fined $500 on both
counts.
District Attorney Sehoonmaker
stated to the court that Booth was
first married to Miss Florence S. Liv-
ingston in Lynn on March 25. 1913.
and then on Feb. 6, 1915, he married
Miss Gladys Paige Pierce in Green
field while his first wife was at her
home in Maine previous to the birth
of her son. The father of Booth has
settled $1,000 upon his grandson.
and counsel for both women asked
that Booth be fined and not i'm
prisoned.
Fred Brooks of Greenfield was re-
leased on probation when it was
shown the court that his offense was
committed entirely through ignorance.
He married his own niece. William w.

Kitchin andDemOcratsAgree
on Main Points of New
Revenue Measure
WAR MUNITIONS TO
YIELD $4,000, 900
House Leaders Have Been Informed
That President Will Not Oppose
Their Plans Senate Expected to
Add S5o,OO00O0 70 Defence Measure

WASHINGTON, March 21.-Maior-
ity Leader Kitchin and the other Dem
ocratic members of the house commit |
tee on WAYS and means have reached
an agreement as to the essential fea- |
lures of the revenue measure to bel
formulated as means of financing the
national defense program and other adj |
ditional expenditures to be authorized
by the present congress. The points
regarded as settled at this time are asI
follows:
First, $l0O,000,0O0 will be raised by
increasing the income tax rates.
Second, a tax will be levied on the
manufacture of munitions of war, de-
signed to produce from $25,000,000 to
$40,0O0,000.
Third, an additional $2O,O00,000 viii
be raised by Ievies ON inheritances, in
creases of the internal revenue taxes
on beer and whiskey or excuses upon
selected articles from a list of 25 avail
able objects of taxation which is now
being studied by members of the ways
and means committee.
Fourth, the stamp tax provisions of
the present emergency revenue act,
which produced approximately 100000
900 last year, are to be repealed.
Congressional leaders consider that
the levy of an additional 100000 0b
upon the nation s incomessis an assured
fact. Not only are the Democratic
members of the ways and means com
mittee in agreement, but a complete
canvass of the Democratic membership
of the House has convinced Leader
Kitchin and his associates that they
| will insist upon this means of raising
lafa 49,
4 Information has come TO the leaders
who favor increasing the yield from
the income tax that the Wilson admin
istration will not disap7rove such pro
cedure. The house leaders have been
informed that the President will not
oppose the income tax plan, although
Mr.. Wilson went on record in his mes
sage to congress as favoring excuses
upon pig iron, internal combustion en-
gines and gasolepe as proper means OF
raising the $95, 100000 which he Their
thought would suffice to defray the in
creased expenditures for the coming
fiscal year.
The House leaders are convinced
however, that the amount named by
the President and by Secretary of tbs
Treasury McAdoo in his annual report
will not suffice. The tentative figure
fixed upon by Leader Kitchin and th'
ways and means committee as neees
sary for the defence program is $3.50,

until the defence measures and tn

The recent election in this state, in

eide important questions right if given
the opportunity in the form of a ref
erendum. We now have the direct

and need very badly is a general ref
crendum law If we could have a ref
erendum on such laws as. the one de-
priving a man of the right TO vote be-
cause a tax was not paid before a
certain date, and on 101 similar OBJ
noxious, discriminating, and one-sided
laws passed at every session of the
Legislature, we would soon be rid of
them.
We are taxed by the town, county,
and state for two per cent and up
, wards, and in addition for automobile
operators hunters and fishermen s
licenses. We are taxed to support the

authoritatively stated yesterday. At
Fort Bliss comment was withheld on
the northward movement of Carranza

not large.
Gen. George Bell, jr., commanding
the troops there, said: "There ism t a

meet any emergency Rumors were
spread yesterday that machine guns
were to be trained on points over the
Rio Grande river At Fort Bliss it
was denied that any such action was
contemplated. It was authoritatively
declared that no reason existed for it.
The military has taken only such pre-
cautions, it was understood as would
be compatible with the policy of pre-
paredness applied to the entire border
by Maj. Gen. Funston. Guns already
have been moved to points where they
would have greater strategic value if
an emergency arose. 1t is explained
however, that these steps have been
taken without any belief that any need
for the guns would arise.

OLD SNOW TAVERN
REDUCED TO ASHES
Once Famed Marlboro Hosiery Re-
ceived Large Patronage in Stage
Coach Days-Used by Lumbermen

The old Snow tavern one mile west
of Marlboro on the Wilmington road,
was burned to the ground yesterday
morning. The fire caught in the upper
story around the chimney. The build
ing had been occupied the past WIN
ter by lumbermen, and two children
there yesterday ran half mile
through snow three and four feet
deep to give the alarm. BY the time
help arrived there was nothing that
could be done There was insurance
of $500 on the building in the name
of Mrs. Emma Collier Trombley, for
merly of Brattleboro, wife of Zabe
| Trombley, who conducted a summer
hotel there the last two or three
years.
The hotel was built about rs years
ago by Absalom and Dolly (Bassett)
| Snow for a hotel. Mr.. Snow conducted
| it as tavern on the stage road be-
| tween Brattleboro and Wilmington
| for many years and made it very
popular place for dances and suppers
as well as tavern which the stage
coach traveller was glad to reach.
On the end of the big shed where
| the stage coaches drove in to change
horses was the legend Drive In''
which was known far and near as a
| good thing to do there. In the days
before the construction of the Hoosac
