The collection Of this tax is a farce,

small amount is collected from this

absurdly small number of con-

 Emerson Appointed.
 Thomas w. Emerson of Kensington was last evening appointed by the To- cal council of defense to have charge of the Y. M. c. A. War Fund cam- paign that is soon to be conducted in this town. Plans as to manner Of carrying on the drive have not been given out yet, but it Is believed that 1t will be conducted along lines sim liar to the liberty loan and food con- servation campaigns.
 Tho work that is being done by the Y. M. c. A. during the present war, not only in this country but in
 France, Is remarkable. Bulletins ex-
 p1aining what thA organizations are
 doing at the camps, especially at
 Camp Devens, have been placed on the war bulletin boards. Hundreds Sign Pledge Cards. Hundreds of pledge cards for the conservation of food during the war. have been signed by Berlin residents. Cards showing that the people are falling behind the movement and that they will endeavor to economize in their household, are being displaye. l from the windows of every house.

 Just what action will be taken to provide comforts for the Plainville young men in France who were first to go overseas Is not known. The matter lies entirely with the Plain vile Hose company and Fire Chief Norton who, jointly, were instrument tai in raising the fund. r.
 The post office officials have in- formed the press that those contem- plating the sending of Christmas presents to the boys in France should send them not later than November 15 in order to have them reach their des- tination not later than December 25. Packages weighing seven pounds and under will be shipped direct from the local office, but anything weighing over seven pounds will have to be sent from the post office at Hoboken, N. J., after being accepted and mailed from the local post office.

 tee, over 400 have been signed by housewives and others who handle food commodities. .
 The campaign will be brought to a close tomorrow night and it IS thought that by that time every card in the possession of the chairman and conn mittee will be signed. The house to house canvass has developed fine re- suits and everyone seems enthusias- tic over the plan which has been made for the conservation of food.
 Knowing the part that decrease and saving in the consumption in food | without injury to the "inner man. is 1 to play in this war those who have l been interviewed and asked to sign 1 tha pledge card have gladly done so 1 and no difficulty has been experienced. l The committee hopes that those who
 signed the pledge cards will obaerve

 MT. Morse was known by his neigh bors for his whole-heartedness and straightforwardness. He took a keen interest in public affairs and was prominent in politics, having served tAe town as constable, tax collector and registrar of voters, holding the latter office at the time of his death. His death came unexpectedly and words of sympathy and regret have been expressed by all.
 Moore Wins Coal.
 When Bernard P. Moore, of Ken sington, awoke this morning he was surprised to learn that he had sud denly become a wealthy man. Sev- eral weeks ago, Moore, as did hun dreds of other residents, invested his pennies in chance to win & ton of coal. At a drawing held last evening by Court Mattabessett, Foresters of America, Moore held the lucky num- Der and will be given a free ton of coal.
 About $40 was raised by the raffle. This money will be used by the court to supply "smokes' for the soldier boys. There are at present a number of young men from the court serving Uncle Sam, and the F'oresters will take this means of letting the boys know that they have not been for gotten.
 Plans for supplying Christmas bags for the local soldiers are being made by number of organizations. Pres ents will be sent to the "Sammies'' in France, as well as to the boys at Camp Devens. -" Berlin Briefs.

 Within a week an honor roll board will be standing in front of tho Town hall on Worthington Ridge display Ing the names of all the local men, md women who are serving their country, providing the plans decided upon by the local Council of Defense In session last evening mature. Chair man Claude W. Stevens presided at the meeting. which was attended by almost all the members.
 A representative of tho Bucholz company of Hartford was present, and after an informal discussion, it was decided by the council to award the contract for the erection of the board ko the firm. The board will be 1Ox16 feet in slze and will be placed on posts. It Is planned to make the board large enough for 150 names. although there are at present only nbout 30 from here who are serving Uncle Sam.
 The board will be of sheet metal md iron. It will be decorated in patriotic colors of Red. White and Blue. On top it will be adorned with ornamental work and on the bottom It will be interwoven with lattice work. The cost of the board will be ap- proximately $200, this amount hav- ing been appropriated for the purpose It a recent town meeting.
 Although 1t was at first planned to have design similar to that in East Hartford, 1t is now possible that Der lin will have an original board. As vessor Charles j..

Delaware is a small state and is az
fording but two inspectors without
the detailed daily supervision and con-
troll Of a manager Of Labor Commis-
soner. This situation as naturally
found in a smaller state, requires
that at least one OF tho inspectors
should have a reasonable maturity IN
age, experience and appearance to as
sst in supplying the semi-executive
qualifications. In my estimation II
is therefore essential to find in our
two inspectors as many Of these in
dividual traits and combination values
heretofore stated, as we may be able
to secure.
"I believe we have been largely
successful during the past three yea. S
by following these principles in the
main, coupled with the selection Of
inspectors who have been naturally
and humanity interested in such prob
lens, while blessed with tact, per-
sistence and ability.
"The Labor Commission now has in
service IN charge Of the women's
work an excellent inspector, a young
woman Of special training and ox-
perience on social welfare lines.
ITO suitably balance our organiza-
1 ton under Delaware's conditions, ]
am therefore convinced that prac-
tical man. OF proper maturity, force
and touch civically inclined and with
some previous contact with children's
work is the proper type to seek. II
such man possessing reasonable tact
/ and natural ability cannot be found

mission then only should a woman OF
