CITY TAX RATE
CUT BY COUNCIL
Despite Increase of School
Levy, Total Is Under
Last Year.

Announcing that they had liked the
tax rate for the year at s1S75, a re-
duction of a half cent from last year,
mayor Charles Davis and the city
council Saturday morning issued the
following statement:
In fixing the tax rate. we find we
are UP against the same proposition
as the schools. which cannot get along
without IS cents. This is six cents
more than they asked for last year.
We have gone over their budget with
the chairman OF their finance COM
mittee and can see no way in which
this can be cut This is approximately
$4,000 more than was asked for last
year, but we know the gentlemen Of
the school board are working for the
best interests OF FL Paso and we be-
lieve they need this extra money. II
this extra six cents for schools had
not been asked for. we would be able
10 make a rate OF sLSI5.
Savings Are Made.
Our tax rate last year was SI.eS
We have made some savings in the
city, especially in salaries. having cut
OF salaries amounting TO something
over $4,000 per year However. our
expenses for materials and labor have
greatly increased.
Our tax rate this year will be
Si-S75, divided as follows:
school fund .-. As
Sinking fund and interest. .425
General tund .....--.-..-- 90
4OLdl al.ot0
We wish that we could cut this
tax rate lower. but believe we have
done wen in reducing il at all from
what II was last year. The tax rolls
are now open and we expect pay
meuts to start at once"

Mr.. SimmOns's message reads.
Chairman Davis announces that I'M
til allied governments have fOrmu-
lated definite plans. Red Cross cannot
make definite future plans. but II
seems assured that present division
and chapter organizations will be
maintained available for future calls
as needs may develop. Immediate need
OF refugee garments and knitting is
imperative and present quotas should
be pushed. Furthermore. il is clear
that with the expected returns from
the Christmas roll call. funds suf-
fcient for probable requirements will
remain in chapter and national treas
uries, therefore. as far as can now be
seen. there viii be no war fund cam

Epidemic RelefFund
SauedLiues Of fMany

From near death and starvation
in dirty tenaments, to health and
plenty in the Sunshine Ward of the
Hardy Sanitarum, was the eXpeii-
ence Of some fifty men, women and
children of Ardmorc. During the
recent influenza epidemic period
Had it not have been for the IN
creasing efforts of Mrs. II. II. Sayre
reinforced by the nfluenza
Epidemic Committee, these people
would have been left to die alone,
without food and medical attention
The Influenza Epidemic Commit
tee was organizaed when the
epidemic first started on its course
OF destruction in Ardmore. Mrs.
Julius Kahn and Mrs. II. II. Sayre
were appointed Investigators and O..
II. WolVerton, of the City State
Bank, was made treasurer OF the re-
Lief fund. Since that time the COM
mttce and its representatives have
worked tirelessly toward the relief
of suffers. Hundreds of cases came
before the attention OF the investiga-
tors, Mrs. Kahn and Mrs. Sayre, and
in every instance where help was
needed it was cheerfully rendered. At
no time was case reported that
was not investigated. The purpose
OF the committee was TO hunt out
needy families in the city who were
i'll and unable to secure food and
medical attention and see that their
wants were supported. When it was
found that the homes occupied by
these families were not lit to in
sure the patients recovery they were
moved 10 the Sunshine Ward OF the
Hardy Sanitadium where they were
under supervision OF competent
nurses and were given every care.
Into this ward the committee
brought forty-seven patients and of
this number only two died. These,
man and a woman, were very low
and almost at the point OF death
when their cases were discovered
and lived only three days after being
taken to the hospital. The remain
ing forty-five patients have re.
covered and have been removed to
their homes.
Attention is called to few cases
that were brought before the atten-
tion OF Mrs. Kahn and Mrs. Sayre.
In one instance a man, his wife,
three children were in very serious |
condition. They were removed to
the hospital and recovered The
committee expended $5l for hospital
bills and SIS for groceries, total
OF 500 on this family. The man had
team and wagon and was using
this as a means OF existence.
Shortly after The Camron Refining
Company called Mrs. Kahn and
offered her a large quantity OF wood
to distribute among the poor ii she
could procure some means OF haul
ing it in. The man told her he woul
do the work for s. per day. When
Mrs. Kahn told the man that the
wood was for the poor and that she !

hut CIRCUIT" IS
LONGEST THEATRICAL
SWING IN WORLD

Pittsburgh, Pa, Nov. l6.-Th
''hut circuit OF theatrical perform
ances in the American army ii
France is perhaps the longest anc
largest in the world. Thomas Woo
Stevens, head of the Department o
Dramatic Arts at the Carnegia In
stitute OF Technology who has jus
returned from France where he wa.
associated in the production OF sol
dier talent shows. estimates that ;
single company playing every night
to different soldiers, would require
eleven years to go through the
American army in France.
The general scheme OF diversion
for our men in France said Mr.
Stevens is in three general divisions
There is the "Over-There' Theater
League, represented in New York
by George NJ. Cohan, Winthrop
Ames and James Forbes; the
French corcert companies man
aged by Walter Johnson; and the
Soldier Talent Show under the di-
rection OF Joseph Lindon Smith.
Mr.. Stevens went to France pri-
marily to help Mr. Smith with the
Soldier Talent Shows. Together
they selected 25 local directors for
these performances with the various
Young Mems Christian Association
divisional headquarters. Now +.
c. Carter, chief secretary OF the Y.

more directors, and the Carnegie
Institute has announced that as
soon as the influenza quarantine is
lifted it will begin to train Is addi

workers for this work.
Difficult To Transport props"
Difficulty of transporting proper
ties and costumes is one OF the hard
est problems in improvising shows
for the soldiers, according to Mr..
Stevens. They had to be carried
in small valises, instead of drays,
piled high with trunks and the di-
rectors had to make their shows fit
on the small stages of the "Y" huts
instead of the big theater stages.
"One of my jobs has been to dis
cover or write plays for use where
no costumes or props, even citizens
clothes can be had; that is to say
soldier plays, not war plays" said |
Mr.. Stevens. Ny first effort in this
direction, called Three Wishes has
been given in dozen camps at pres
int. but we want other plays as we
need many more directors. The
twenty-five we have at work are
ar too few.

Patriotic Resolutions

ian Priests League OF America
which met last month in convention
here, drew up a set OF resolutions ~
/ pressing their faith and allegiance
which are now published in trans,

they pledge themselves, are the iol-
| lowing:
I'VE express our deep respect
gratitude, and loyalty to the govern
ment of the United States OF Amer
ica, and to its great president,
Woodrow Wilson, in the terrible
struggle for liberty, democracy, aid
self determination of the nations OF
the world.
I'VE pledge to our government
and to our president all our moral
and material support and urge all
the Slovenes of the United States %
be ready and to bring any and all
the sacrifices required from them by
the government.
I'VE are convinced that a perma-
nent universal peace is possible only
on basis of perfect free seli-deter-
mination of all the nations and that
especially the .Jugoslav question can
be justly solved only upon the ioun-
dation OF these principles"
The document further emphasizes
the appreciation felt by the Slovcnc
people Of American of the true dem
ocratic liberty enjoyed in the land
OF their adoption. As the basis for
government to be set up in .|ugo-
slavia, the Constitution OF the Unit
ed States is recommended by them

the best he would do.
In another instance the committee
was caring for a family in which all
of the members were i'll exception
a boy, II years OF age. Another
family in the same neighborhool !
was in dire distress and Mrs. Kahn
was trying to procure some one to
help out in doing chores. She aske |
about using the IA year old boy who

she could use him the balance OF the

satisfactory she would then expect

instances mentioned are unusual, for
