 Why, you know your little boy, Aleck what the man can't keep out of the livery stables round the corner?"
 Yes, yes! Well?'
 T told Aleck just now not to go into the stables among the horses, but he wouldn't mind me-
 "Oh. dear! What has happened?"
 "He said he wanted to see what a mule would do when you tickled it's heels with straw
 "Oh, dear. dear!" gasped the lady and clung to the chair for support.

SOME INTERESTING FIGURES
 ON FIRST YEAR IF DROUTH

Here are some serio comic angles to prohibitions birthday:
 Rulings permit a man who owns a grape arbor to make 200 gallons of wine a year-wine with a kick. But woman who owns a box of raisins may not make even a fruit drink from them.
 A farmer may make all the hard cider he can drink; but a city man may drink only sweet cider doctored to pre- vent fermentation.
 A manufacturer may put kick in mincemeat, but hotelkeeper or house wife is not permitted to do it.
 More than 156 ruling and regulations have been issued. many conflicting, by Attorney General Palmer, Prohibition Commissioner Kramer and Revenue Commissioner Williams.
 Prohibition is more destructive to life and morals that firearms, says Hudson Maxim, famous inventor. ''The eighteenth amendment is a school for crime"
 "The crime wave cannot be blamed on prohibition" says William J. Burns, famous detective.
 Prohibition has made America a better country in which to live" says General Booth of the Salvation Army.
 Consumption Drops Commissioner Kramer says 65,000, 900 gallons of liquor where consumed every six months before prohibition. and that it has now dropped to 15,000,000 gall Ions in six months. | However, this does not include the hootch smuggled into the country and manufactured here.
 William H. Anderson, state superin- tendent of the Anti-Saloon league in New York, warns that there is grave danger of prohibition nullification program being put over by politicians and liquor interests"
 "The new congressional apportion- ment will call for 50 or 60 new con | gro rCssmen, practically all from larger cities that were wet" says Anderson "The only way to defeat notification ;s to bring about such enforcement by marshalling public sentiment that pro- hibition will win new converts, and to have federal and state laws in har- mony."
 The prohibitionists are determined to make prohibition really prohibit But they expect it will take some time ye, to accomplish this.

WAKE UP OR DIE IS WARMING OF
 SPANISH PRESS
 TOARISTOCRACY
TRepubllean A. Q. Leased Wlre1

MADRID. Jan. 2-.--''Wake up or diei" in the warning addressed to tho Span ish aristocracy in an editorial of El Debate. which lashes tho ancient nobil- fly of the country for its ''lethal passiv- ity' in all public matters. The writer adds:
 'In order not to succumb. the nobility must not only display more democratic sentiments but personally participate i'm the life of the country. Otherwise having already lost it's ancient class prestige surrounded by a materialistic bOurgeoisie. a middle class without any defined object and @ populace eXasper- atcd by political deception and econo- mic unrest until it is ready for all kinds of violence. the ancient nobility will have nothing else to do than succumb.
 "The British aristocracy is giving an example of what an aristOcracy should do in order to merit it's name, for it's members have gained distinction in science, industry and active politics and hold an important place in the intel lectual. economic and social life of the country. The Spanish nobility should take note of the signs of the times, for it has only a brief moment to decide whether to wake up or die"

BUY ONLY UNION-MADE GOODS INCOME TAX REPORT SHOWS FEW FAVORS

Washington, July 2o.-Preliminary re- ports on 1919 income tax returns, is- sued by the internal revenue department, bring out two points. First. the reason for opposition to income tax laws, and second the low income of the vast ma jority of the people of this country.
 Under the law single men with an income-or wages-of less than $1 ,OOO and married men with an income of less than 5000 are exempt from the tax The report shows that out of a popula- ton of approximately 11O,OOO,0OO, there were but 15.332,760 persons who came within the law This inclues business men, the professions and all others whose income is over $1 900 if single and $2,- GOO if married.
 The total revenue obtained by the government was $1 ,269 100000. or an in- crease of $11 ,OO1 ,OOO over 1918. Indi- viduals with net incomes of $1OOO,O ,OOO or over increased from 60 in 1914 to 12O in 1915. and then 2O6 in 1918. From that year they decreased to Al in 1917 and 67 in 1918. The present report shows that 65 persons had an income of ST. 100000 or more in 1919.
 These stupenduous incomes made 1t possible for the net income of the 155,- 332, ,76O persons making reports to aver age $3,734O5, with $23008 the average tax paid The 65 persons with an in come of $lOOO,0OO paid an average of S1. .523 40 Beach

FIGHTS PORTEND IN POLITICAL CAMPS AS
 CAMPAIGN WEARS
Cahill Forces Adopt 3a-Ward Plan in Primaries to Head Off
 Opposition.

The first round in the coming city political campaign will be staged on next Friday when on that day and the Friday following the registrars of voters will sit in the various wards to enroll for primary and caucus pur- poses. Whether or not there will be a contest on the democratic side is problematical but whether there is or not the Cahill forces will not be caught mapping but have gone over into the republican gerrymander of B wards and will have an organiza- tion perfected in each district The democrats are fighting the B ward plan but nevertheless Registrar Cahill and his supporters are going ahead with the organization under that plan and will insist that any op- position that develops must do like wise until the law Is changed. This will put any opposition on the defen- slve, 1t IS figured, as so far, the other factions ot the party have been run ming under the present or I5 ward form of organization and anticipated consolidation of the wards into dis trlCtS as the aldermen have voted
 There IS expected to be some rum pus in the republican caucuses also this fall inasmuch as that party seems pretty well split at present and there IS much talk of putting up an opposi- ton candidate to whoever the ma chine may nominate. This is said to be Representative Ford and those who opposed the city manager plan will oppose his nomination., even to the extent, 1t is said, of nominating another republican if necessary. Ex- cept for the possible place of general registrar the democrats are pretty we'll united and fight in the repub- lican ranks would make thinks merry

Katz & Mullen Use
 Unfair Labor Again
City Controllers Firm Ignores Pro- test of Organized Workers on
 Building Jobs.

Despite protests made by the New Haven local of the Brotherhood of Carpenters the real estate firm of katz & Mullen, of which City Con troller Arthur Mullen is a partner, has again employed non-union work CTS on it's building jobs, according te reports made to the carpenters at their meeting this week. This time it is on houses on Chapel street which are being remodelled by the firm.
 A few weeks ago after the firm had secured control of section of land at Chapel street and the Boulevard, wanted by the city for park purposes, 1t began the erection of four frame houses on the plot. Instead of em- ploying a local contractor and giving New Haven workers employment the firm let the jobs to one Chalet, an unfair contractor of Stratford, who brought cheap labor here and paid them, it is said, about 6 cents an hour for the work. The local union protested, but it evidently didn't avail because according to the re- ports, more non-union men are now employed by the firm on it's other remodeling jobs.
