Especial to The Bulletin.)

East Lyme, June 10.-The descend
ants of the original settlers of the
town of East Lyme gathered at the
Old Stone church burial ground today
to celebrate the centennial ami
versary of the old burying ground.
The changes which the centuries
bring is borne in upon our thoughts at
our arrival, for where but half cen
fury since the thriving farms and
families of Bush. Avery. Tubbs, Girls
void, Smith. Harding. Webb were to
| be seen, these families have largely
been replaced by other names.
| When everybody rode to church in

this spot was ideal from it's central
| location in the town, but as SO often
develops with changing years The
north end of the town grew to the
village of Flanders and the Scutn to
Mantle, each with, it's several
churches.
In consequence after a few years Of
| disuse the fine example of early nine

been built on the site of the earlier

ways performed by those nearest the
location and the Tubbs family in the
farmhouse across the road furnished
the necessary manpower on all Gus
tomary occasions, ringing out the
calls for congregational gatherings
and tolling the age of each member
| at death.
And the sexton must be up in the
belfry at funeral day as well and with
untiring eye watch for the funeral
procession to come over the hill a
half mile to the south when the toll

ECONOMY CHANGE IN
WIDOWS PENSION RULES

1t is the intention of State Treasurer
G. Harold Gilpatric and Col. Robert O..
Eaton, the latter in charge of the ad-
ministration of the widows pension
law, to make a change in the regula-
tons governing the administration of
the law so far as it relates to the car
rying of insurance on the lives of the
benefciaries to provide for the eX-
penses of burial when a beneficiary
dies. Instead of carrying an insurance
the expenses will be paid out of the
fund at the disposal of the officials. 1t
is believed that this change will make
for economy. The state already makes
provision for the burial of INDECENT
soldiers and this provision it is said
suggests a precedent for the burial OF
MiGioX dependents.

Contributions In Gross Incomes

Corporations, unlike individuals,
must include all charitable contribu
tions in their gross incomes. An in
dividual is allowed deduction not ex-
ceeding fifteen per cent of his net in
come, for contributions he has made.
A corporation is allowed no deduc-
ton whatsoever for similar contribu-
tons, according to the opinion sus-
tanned by the attorney general on Ar
ticle 561 of the income tax regulations,
which states very clearly that corpor-
atoms cannot deduct charitable con-
tributions.
Accordingly, all claims for abate-
ment in such cases, will be automati-
cally rejected, and a penalty of five
per cent. of the deficiency imposed.
A corporation knowingly deducting
contributions in violation of regula-
tons, may thereby incur penalty of
fifty per cent. of the tax for filing
false or fraudulent returns.

Says Moon Has No
Effect
lRinois Weather Prognosticator
Ridicules Old Theories

III. M. Willis, official weather prog
nOsticator at Springfield, ILL.,, throws
a harpoon into the pet theory that the
moon has a great deal to do with the
vegetable, animal and human life
growth. 1t is all bunk, he says. Hark-
en- to him:
"We have calls every day seeking
the phase of the moon from people
who are contemplating planting some
thing or who believe 1T has some eff
feet on human life. The moon has no
effect on human life on the earth's sur
face. The only effect 1t has on condi-
tons on the earth's surface is that it
draws the tides. Under proper condi-
tons Of the sky, the only way the
moon a affect human life is to
furnish moonlight for young couples"

The new service is confined ex-
clusively to rural motor vehicle routes

then only when delivery al be effect
ed on the route where mailed or on a
connecting rural motor vehicle truck

Interpretation of this ruling does not

where delivery by train and numerous

Fowls and animals must be carefully
and securely Grated.
