beautiful ballad with tenderness and

Fiddler herself was exceedingly good In
a piano solo and encore.

protesting against the government
proposal to place a fiat tax of FIVE per
cent on jewelry held in stock by re-
tailers and five per cent on all pur-
chascs made, according to George
Palmer of Newport News. president
of the Virginia Retail jewelers. asso-
citation. Under the law jewellers
would be required to pay the five per
cent on jewelry held in stock within
twenty days after the law becomes
effective.
Mr.. Palmer, as president of the
state organization, has written the
Virginia representatives in congress
requesting them TO oppose the bill
Similar action has been taken by
other jewelers. throughout the state.
Mr.. Palmer said yesterday that jew
elers did not mind bearing their share
of the war tax, but said he thought
five per cent on jewelry in stock was
too much. Many jewellers, he said
have told him they did not know
where they were going to get the fat
stock tax in twenty days after the law
becomes effective.
Senator Claude a. Swanson has re-
piled to a letter of protest from Mr.
Palmer. stating that he was glad to
learn the views of jewelers. on the
matter and would give 1t his atten-
ton.
