WHEAT-sAvING MEASURE
Request is Sent Gu. by Federal Food
 Administrator Robert SeoxiIle.

The foilcwin1 letter from Robert Scoville, federal food administrator for Connecticut, has been sent to Connecticut hotel keepers and others interested:
 At a meeting of the federal food administrators of the several New England states, it was decided to rec cmmend to their respective states the adoption of the plan to observe Wed nesdays and Thursdays as days in which no white bread should be used It is hoped that this practice will be observed by householders, hotels, res- taurants, lunch rooms and clubs as voluntary offering toward the soluti Of the food problem.
 '.It is manifest that if we are to send to our allies in Europe the amount of wheat which they absolute iy' require, it will be necessary for us to save by such measures as this At this time when so many of our young men are leaving their homes to pre- pare themselves for their part in the great war; 1t is surely not too much to a asi< some self-sa crifice from those who stay at home
 with every confidence that the people of Connecticut will desire to do their part in the fullest mea sure, this plan is commended to them for their serious and earnest considera- tion."

MARKETING POTATOES.
Consumers Urged to Secure Supplies
 from Farmers. .--

The following statement on market ing potatoes in Connecticut Is author ized by the councils committee on food supply and conservation:
 From reports in, hand it IS evident that while a community storage of po- tatoes will be necessary in only a few places in Connecticut, private stora ge will in very many places be taxed to the utmost. To meet this condition, consumers generally are being urged to lay in at once as large a supply of potatoes they may need or can con- veniently keep and to buy their sup plies directly from the farmers. Wide publicity will be given to this sugges- ton, and farmers are urged to CO., operate by placing signs or placards before their houses and by giving their names to the local correspondent of the food supply committee in each town.

At meeting of the town committee of the state council of defense, Held in the mayors office at the city hall on Thureday, reports were received from the various committees, showing the activities this branch of the. state coun- Gil of defense is engaged in.
 The committee who had to do with the erection of the honor roll board, reported that the estimated cost for the erection of the same was placed at $22o, but owing to much of the labor being performed by the committee themselves and by those who gave gratuitously their labor and time to this most patriotic purpose the ex- pense had been scaled down and thu report showed that the committee is in need of $150 to finance the same. This committee originally raised by popu- lar subscription $I00, al. of which has been expended for the purpose for which 1t was contributed, namely. that of giving a proper send-oF to the boys of the selective draft. The ma jor portion of this one hundred dollars was expended as follows:

 MIRRORS OR REFLECTIONS
Department of Motor Vehicles An neunees Ruiing For Benefit of Driv- CTS.

A. ruling of the department of motor vehicles regarding the use of mirrors or rehectors announced on Thursday the following:
 Section 20 of Chapter 305 P. A. 1917. approved May 18th. 1917, reads:
 Every vehicle so constructed that the driver or operator is prevented from a constantly free and un abstruct- ed view of the highway immediately to the rear and at the sides of the same, shall be equipped with a mirror or reflector attached to and So located and adjusted on such vehicle as to fiected view of the highway to the year of such vehicle" This applies to all vehicles both motor and horse drawn.
 approved May 18th. 1917, reads;
 Every commercial motor vehicle not equipped with pneumatic tires. and every commercial motor vehicle so constructed or loaded that the oper= ator is prevented from having a free and unobstructed view of the high way immediately to the. rear and at the sides of the same. Shall be equip ped with mirror or reflector at- tached to and so located and adjust ed on such vehicle as to give the op- orator thereof a clear reflected view of the highway to the rear of such vehicle" This applies to commercial motor vehicles only.
 dhlHS tHS ICSpcCllNE udtcS OI dP~ proval of the sections of the lay quot ed into consideration, 1t is the opinion of the department that Section II sub- division "155 Chapter 3S3 limits and qualities Section 20 Chapter 3o5 so far as the latter relates to motor vehicles, and the law. as a whole iS7 construed as follows:
 1-Fhose commercial motor vehicles specifically included in Section Il, sub division "1" are required to have mirrors or ref1eetors.
 2-AH vehicles q. e. other than mo- tor vehicles) included under the pro- visions sof Section 20, Chapter 205 are required to haze mirrors or refieetors.
 In addition to the construction as given herein, the department is in- forming inquirers to the effect that there are yet no data available as to how the courts will interpret the law and is advising that in all doubtful cases involving those pleasure cars from which the driver has no view to- wards the rear a mirror or re1ector be installed as a precautionary measure.

TAX oNs THEATRE
 TICKETS AFTER NOV. 1.
One Cent for Every Dime lrvseted in
 ~Showvs

t On. and after Nov. 1, you'll have to pay Uncle Sam one cent for every dime, one dime for every dollar, you spend for show tickets. Even though you're atre or motion picture show, you'll have to pay 10 per cent. of the value of your seat or seats to help; cover the new theatre admissions war tax. l. The admissions tax applies to- all free admissions except bona fde ern- ployes of the theatre, municipal officers on official business and children under 1c years of age.
 fage the hard but inevitable fact that this tax is lon the public" The house managers of all places of public enter tainment after Nov. become responsi- tion and accounting of the new war revenues.
 Showmen will be interested to know that under the new revenue require ments house managers will be com pelled to list their passes. the house price of seats so occupied. the number of standees admitted, the number of ceurtesies extended to critics, and embody all such information in an of hcial and witnessed box office state come part of the records of the federal war tax department. The house man. agers are to be held responsible for the collection of the admissions tax and for it's prompt and safe transferrence to the government.
 The war tax on admissions to places Of amusement, including legitimate motion picture and all other theatres. provides that a tax of one cent for each 10 cents or fraction thereof shall "be paid by the person paying for such ad- missionS' Where the maximum admis- sion charge is five cents no tax is levied.
 To illustrate: The tax on a 10 cent admission is one cent; on 15 cent ad- mission two cents; on 20 cent ad- mission two cents; on a 25 cent ad- mission three cents: on a 30 cent ad- mission three cents, and so on. In cases of children under 12, the tax is but one cent. regardless of whether the g admission paid is 10 cents, dollar, two dollars, or more

MEN CAN HELP. TOO.
Food Administrator Wants Them to
 Sign Food Conservation Pledges

Robert scoville. federal food ad- ministrator for Connecticut, has is- sued an appeal to the men of Con- necticut to cooperate with the wo- menfolk of the state in the food con- servation movement, especially by signing the food conservation pledge. The statement follows:
 Practically all classes o5 people who handle food now have some form of regulation. The dealers are li- censed; the hotel keepers and restau- rant men are practically so. The housewife, who is the largest handler of food of all, is being asked to do her work without government regIula- ton, and js being given the oppor- tunity to pledge herself to do so.
 This Hoover Pledge Campaign is not entirely a woman's affair. It is vital to the success Of the movement that the men also actively concern themselves with this campaign. Not only must they accede to the foo(s saving but they must take an active in food conservation in their Already over a thous> and members of the Elks lodge have signed the food conservation pledge It has ceased. with them to be their wives affair.
