LUXURY TAX REPEAL
MERE FLASH IN PAN
Put Back at Governments De-
mand; Restless Over Secret
Program in East.

Paris, April by a vote of 14O
70 ~, the senate Monday night in
qorsed the governments demand for
retention of the luxuries tax by elimina-
!lon from the budget bill of an article,
inserted by the chamber Of deputies.
aboiishing it. Louis J.. Klotz, minister Of
finance, who urged that the article be
stricken out of the bill, motored to the
chamber later and asked that branch
81 parliament to reverse its action on
the tax.
There were violent protests in the
chamber against the senate's action,
deputies who advocated the suppression
OF the luxuries tax arguing that it was
not wanted by merchants and workmen.
The chamber finally acquisced in the
senate's restoration of the Injuries tax.
! 1t modified the bill otherwise, however,
necessitating its return to the senate,
which ultimately gave its acquiscencc
to the measure, which is not the annual
budget bill proper, but the votes on
account for the second quarter of 1919.
In the course of the discussion in the
upper chamber, Senator Dedierre moved
reduction of 10000 francs in the ap-
preparation of the ministry of war as a
sign to the government. Parliament,
he declared, had |; right to be better in
formed as to the governments program
for eastern Europe.
Notwithstanding that Georges Ley
CUES, minister of marine, pointed out that
Foreign Minister Pichon was absent,
being detained by his ministerial duties,
the senate voted the reduction.

A far IL information reaching the
registrars ONCE IL concerned the
prospects Tor the return OF the stu
dents Ii quite bright. Sickness in a
few homes will prevent some from
returning. and one student, Miss
Blanche Lee, has died during the
holidays.
The greatest drop Off will be in the
S. A. T. c. men. 1T is expected that
about so per cent of these men will
return and resume their studies. The
college would be glad for all of them
to return and has agreed 10 give them
credit for academic studies for the
years work IL they return after
Christmas and pass their studies In
the winter and spring terms How
ever. the prospect is that not more
than SO per cent or these men Will
resume their studies.
The young men Of the civilian pop
ulation last fall and the young ladies
seem to be planning to return in
about the normal proportion of pre-
vious years. and withal the enroll
ment looks encouraging in view of all
the circumstances.
The college has just published a
4s-page bulletin which is styled The
S. A. r. c. Number" 1T is printed in
the national colors and dedicated to
THE Eion patriots in the world war
with grateful esteem and honorable
pride"
This bulletin has before IL the fol-
lowing purpose as quoted from the
introductory paragraphs: This bull
letin Is printed for its historical sig
nificance. The story of the Elon
students army training corps is told
within, without veneer or garnish-
ment of any sort"
Careful examination of the bulletin
reveals the fact that the thrilling tale
of the S. A. T. C. Is here told with
strict fidelity to facts. 1t gives the
complete history of the unit -includ-
ing the courses, of study, AND every
detail of the work during the sixty
eight days of TIL. units life.
Appended are two addresses by
President Harper as Interpreting the
spirit of the college in entering into
the S. A. T. G. arrangement.
On the concluding page of the bull
letin is found this paragraph: STU

service last fall will receive the same

MEOING Up.

Lots of pretty girls in. the chorus,
corking fine cast of principals to
visualize the numerous roles, and a
production that includes a real aero
plane that makes an actual flight
during the course of the perform
ance. are the attractive features on
an announcement from Cohan and
Harris in connection with the pro-
duction of their newest musical play
Going Up" which had most re-
markabie run OF nearly two years at
the Liberty Theatre. New York, and
Is announced for the Academy next
Friday and Saturday and Saturday
matinee.
Going Up" Is unique musical
play in that 1t has acoherent story,
the scenes of which are laid partly on
the ground and partly in the air. This
assertion may be taken literally in
view of the fact that in one of the acts
the hero goes aioft in a real air-ship
and wins a race in competition with
rival ''birdman."
While this exciting event is liable
to stir ones blood, it is only one of
the many exciting features promised
in this unusual musical comedy. for
which Otto Harbach and James
and lyrics. and that we'll known COM
poser. Louis 4. Hirsch. has written
the music. -
One of the biggest of the many
hits in Going Up is the Tickle
Toe" number, a song with dance &C.
compartment that has literally swept
the country with its cadence and
rhythm. 1T lis safe to say that moth
ing like the success of the Tickle
Toe has been seen inside theatre
In the past decade. But there are six
or eight other songs through this
aviation musica1ss comedy that are
equally as facilitating.
