COOLIDGE VETOES
LIGHT WINE BILL

Boston, May 6-Governor Coolidge
today vetoed a bill intended to legalize
the manufacture and sale of beverages
containing not more than 2.75 per cent
alcohol in this state.
His veto message said:
"There is little satisfaction in at
tempting to deceive the people. If this
act were passed on the statute books
today, it would provide no beer for the
people"
AS the supreme court has yet TO
speak on the constitutionality OF the
Volstead act, the governor said no one
would dare act on the state measure
if enacted.
'Wait until the supreme court talks"
he added.

sHoP1nrERs LIFTED

Thursday two Mexicans entered the
schwartzman dry good store and made
small purchase. Shortly afterwards,
and before the men had left the store
Mr.. schwsrtzman had disappeared
from the counter. He called Marshal
Nichols who searched the men and
found that one of them had very clev-
erly concealed the trousers under his
coat.
The men were taken to the city Jail
and searched and severely questioned.
They claimed they did not know where
they were rooming but the officers
soon located their lodging place in the
rear of the Silvey rooming house. They
entered this place with Yale key tax
en- from one of the men, and found
four new shirts, stetson hat and two
other pairs Of trousers. The shirts and
hats were identified by J M. Silver,
who says the young fellows visited his
store on Wednesday and asked to see
the goods in question, but did not buy.
During their visit Mr.. Silver was
obliged to step into the back room for
bucket Of coal, and evidently it was
during this brief absence on his part
that the goods were abstracted from
his shelvea
As the value Of the stolen goods il
sufficient to warrant a charge Of
grand larceny the men will be turned
over to the county officials for prose-
cution in the district court.

ON INCOME TAX lA\

Twenty thousand persons last year
paid fine Of Is each for failure to
file an income tax return for 1918, al
though their income for that year was
not taxable.
The revenue act provides an exsnp-
tion of $1,000 for single persons, $4,000
for married persons and heads of fam
lilies and an additional exemption Of
5000 for each person dependent upon
the taxpayer, il such person 10 under
1s ysaTs Of age, or incapable Of self
support. The delinquents last year
were persons whose income exactly
equaled the amount Of the exemptions
and who considered it unnecessary,
therefore, to file . return, and othors
whose income was nontsxsble because
Of dependents and who were under .
similar mistaken impression.
For example, . single man with .

Of very worthy girl who 10 derided
by her younger sistsrs for having
reached the age Of 30 without marry
ing. To have little sport at their
expense, she decides to invent for heS
self q hero lover in Somaliland. To
make the thing appear real she writes
him letter in the presence Of her sis
ters, with the idea Of destroying it;
but her younger sister mails the letter
addressed to Col. John Smith. After
eight months of pretended courtship
by mail, the girl, Celia Faraday de-
cides to put an item in the papers
stating that Col. Smith died in Soma
liland, whereupon she decides to go to
Chicago with her aunt. But the let
ter addressed to Col. Smith fell into
tie hands of an officer of that name
in Somaliland. He is back in London
when he reads in the Times the notice
of his death. He calls at the Faraday
home really to solve the mystery, but
apparently represents himself as a
friend Of Col Smith, and says he is
bringing smith's last message to Miss
Faraday. His coming quite upsets the
Faraday home. Miss Faraday and
Smith match their wits in an effort
to hnd out the attitude Of the other
without divulging their own. After
the usual storms the story has a hap
