Home Guard Dance Success
The dance which was given by the
Berlin Home Guard last evening was
a repetition of the one which was
given so successfully a few weeks
$50. Although the attendance was not
as large as the former one, there is
no doubt that q large sum was realized
for the tobacco fund, for which pur-
pose the affair was held. A great
deal of interest and friendly rivalry
i was eVinced in the prize waltz which
was the main feature of the evening.
McKeons orchestra furnished a
splendid program of dance music and
from all indications there was no
fault found with the new closing order
which forced the dance to be closed
at 10 o'clock. The prize waltz was
won by Edwin Campbell of New Bri-
tain and Miss Nellie Clarity. The
! committee in charge Of the dance
were II. H. Damon, William Fowler,
! +. Fem NCurse and Morris Blum
! dance held some weeks ago. The
; drawing for the S. gold piece was won
| BY A Masselli.

CITY UTILIZES SEVEN
TAX-LEVYING UNITS
Municipal Research Bureau
Clears Situation Arising From
Fourteen Total Rates

Few Philadelphians know there are seven
tax-levying units in the city and that the
fourteen different total rates of real estate
taxation range from $1.46 to $2.39. These
differences are explained in a pamphlet is
sued by the Bureau of Municipal Research.
Contrary to the common impression that
$2.35 on realty is the only total rate, the
pamphlet explains that the peculiar system
OF laws applying to taxation here provides
for a wide range of subjects from which the
city derives different rates of income
The three rates for city and schools are
as follows Two dollars and thirty-five cents
on city real estate. s1.76 2-3 on suburban
realty and $1.47h on farms.
The seven tax-levying units consist of the
city-county. the school district and five of
Philadephias six poor districts. 1t is these
five districts that cause the larger number of
different tax rates. Because the city-county
has nothing to do with providing for the
poor of the territory comprised within the
six poor districts, and nasmuch as the three
city-county rates include a tax for the
lief and employment of the poor" it is clear
that the general rates in the poor districts
must be less than in other sections.
The rates applicable to property in the poor
districts are $232 on city real estate
$1.74 2-3 on suburban and s1.46 farms
If. as happens sometimes, the poor districts
need no additional revenues no poor tax is
levied, with the result that the combined
rate is lower.
Whenever additional revenue is needed
two, five, seven or more cents is added to
all property SUBJECT to taxation For this
reason the total in the poor districts may' be
higher or lower than that paid by the city
generally. In the Roxborough Poor District,
which comprises a portion of the Twenty
first Ward. no tax is levied, but the district
receives from the cty-county the poor taxes
levied in the district.
Other taxes levied are on horses and cat
tie, money at interest, carriages to hire on
business and poll tax on individual voters.
The two latter are not included in the gen.
eral scheme, as they do not fall on property
The pamphlet appends table showing all
of the cty's rates for this year and such of
the 1919 rates as are now known.

RED CROSS OVERLOOKED
NEEDS OF BELGIAN BOYS
Workers Supplied Dresses for
Destitute Girls, but Forgot Car
ments for Males

1t dawned ON the many women's organiza-
tions in the city who have been making
dresses and aprons for the Belgian children
that perhaps all the destitute little ones were
not girls when Red Cross worker returned
from Europe and told of the little Belgian
boys who were forced to wear girls clothes
because no masculine raime.lt was included
in the things sent from America.
"UnConscously, we've been partial to the
girls" said Mrs George w. UrQuhart, head
of the Urquhart Auxiliary of the Red Cross
with headquarters in Red Cross Hall at the
Wanamaker store. And we are going to try
to make up for it now-by making over the
worn soldiers garments sent us for recama-
tiCn into undcrshirts. knickerbockers and
bouses for Belgian boys.
Boys clothing is undoubtedly harder to
make than the simple One-pieCe dresses and
aprons we make for girls. And it isn't al
ways easy to pick out the best parts of sol
dcTs' old clothes for remaking But we know
the children need garments the Government
is urging US to use up the old clothing in
this way, and we know that it is not waste
of time or material, but necessary move.
That is why we are urging women workers
to join the ranks in our sewing room"
The undershirts are fashioned cleverly
from Old socks. One sock. split, makes the
back, another the front and two smaller
ones form the sleeves of the shirt.
The knickerbocker suits made from the
olive drab flannel shirt and military trousers
sent by the Government. Many of these have
to be patched and mended. They are cut by
an electric cutter and then basted and ma
chine stitched by the volunteer workers.
In another part of the big workroom of
the Urquhart Auxiliary the women are COM
pleting their quota of warm vests for the
boys in Siberia. And in still another division
dozens of women are packing 500 Christmas
boxes which will be given to boys in mill
tary camps in this country. Members of the
auxiliary decided that friendess men in the
home camps should not be neglected, so they
donated candies. cigarettes, socks, chewing
gum, tobacco and playing cards to fill these
Christmas packets. They will be used as
emergency packets" and sent only to men
not apt to receive other boxes.
As a Red Cross benefit the Urquhart Aux
iiary is planning a Christmas dance, which
will be given in the Rose hoom of the Bel
levuc- Stratford the evening of December 26.
