STATISTICS OF

Interesting Figures for 1920 Regard ing Elm City Workers
 by Census Bureau.

Washington, Aug. 5.-The bureau
 of the census, department of labor, has issued preliminary general occu- patton statistics for New Haven. which, though subject to change, are probably approximately correct. The number of persons engaged in each particular occupation will probably not be announced until the tabulation of the occupation data, now in pro- gross, has been completed. This will
 be about July I, 1922.

"SHIFT TAX BURDEN" FARCE NOW PLAYING
Actors at Washington Not Making Very Big Hit With Public,
 However.

Washington, Aug. 5.-Practically all the actors in the playlet Lower Taxation" have been pushed off the stage in the national congress and a new drama, Shifting the Tax Burden; Or, Protecting the Prohteer," :" is about ready for presentation The
 actors are quietly rehearsing their
 parts and the shows press agents are
 charming the public with the beauty
 and simplicity of the new entertain
 ment.
 The first show was staged like a three-ring circus, but other methods
 must be used with the latest ven
 ture, as the common people might
 object if they were notified, with
 brass band accompaniment, that their taxes are to be increased
 It seems to be generally agreed
 that a sales tax will hardly pass this congress. Special privilege urged this system, but its defeat is more ap- parent than real, for it has impressed
 many with it's plea against an alleged unequal taxation. Constant reitera- ton of the claim that "the govern ment discourages initiative" has blocked any substantial movement to make prohteers disgorge some of their loot and pay for the war In short, the prohteers' campaign against a heavier tax is based on counter movement in the form of a sales tax and the abolition of the entire war tax system. This was started before sentiment could be crystaized in favor of making prof iteers pay more. While losing the sales tax the prohteer gained his real objective.
 A small group in congress favors tax legislation urged by the A. F. of l.. This includes a progressive in crease upon incomes, inheritances and upon land values of such a nature that it would make it improbable 10 hold land without putting it to use. These suggestions are fundamental and, therefore, can not be considered. Be sides, they strike at the very elements that are now promoting the new show, referred to above

Washington, Aug 5.-A tax of 2 cents on bank checks, flat license tax of SIC on all automobiles, irrespective ot cost or horsepower, an increase Ot trSt class postage rates to 5 cents, and an added levy on cigars, tobacco and cigarettes are understood to have been among tax re- vision suggestions presented by SeCre- tary Mellon to the House way and means committee, meeting i'll executive session.
 Other suggestions were said to have nCluded A reduction of 50 per cent. in transportation taxes, both passenger and freight, next year and their ellmlna- tion the year following.
 Repeal of the taxes on soda fountain drinks and ice cream.
 Repeal of the excess profits tax and elimination of the 5000 exemption on corporations incomes.
 Increase of the normal income tax on corporations from the present 10 per cent. to Is per cent.
 Elimination of the income surtax brackets above 40 per cent. with the sur tax rates on incomes ranging from $o,OOO to $5O,0O0 increased.
 The revenue bill as revised in accord with these suggestions would be designed to raise approximately four billions ot OOlldIS llchl yCdl, IL Woo oAlN' AsAA' 4'A>A Ions memorandum embodying his views are withheld, but Chairman Fordney promised to make it public.
 Representative Garner of Texas, the ranking democratic member of the com mittee, attacked the treasury secretary s proposals, declaring that every one ot them constituted shifting of the tax burden from the classes 10 the masses. ,
 MT. Mellon was said to have estimated government expenditures for next year at $4,o75 100000, but Chairman Fordney said this was dependent upon how much of the $5OO,OOO,OOO due the railroads would have to be advanced out ot the federal treas&y, the cost of operating the government merchant fleet and the size of expenditures for the army and navy.
 Aside from internal taxes, the treas ury Secretary was understood to have es- ,1nlated customs receipts for the next year at $45O,OOO,OO0 and miscellaneous receipts, including salvage, at S3oO,OOO,- UOO He was said to have hgured that the S1O license tax on automobiles would bring in $1OO,OOO,OO0, and that added levy on cigars, tobacco and cigarettes an ad- ditional S25,OOOOOO. Increased postal rates have been estimated to yield another S75,OOO,OOO, but the estimate as to the income from the proposed tax on bank checks were not disclosed.
 The loss of revenue through reduc- tion of the transportation taxes has been pjlaced at approximately $150,0OO,OOO.

 According to persons nearby, Hatfield with a party of friends approached the entrance of the courthouse, where they met Lively and a group of companions. Friendly greetings were said to have been exchanged, but a moment later loud talking was heard and this was followed by the crack of pistol fire.

 A large crowd in Welch for the trial was dispersed quickly by local authori- ties.
 The charge on which Hatfield was to have been tried was in connection with the shooting up of Mohawk, w. Va, about a year ago.

Followers of sporting dope when
asked to name the greatest living ath-
lete probably have some trouble in
settling in their own minds just who
is entitled to the crown.
On past performances, Jim Thorpe
would generally be accorded the laurel
wreath, because the Indian has shone
In football, baseball and on the
track. Baseball fans might nominate
Babe" Ruth as champion athlete, and
lovers of boxing doubtless would Sc
lect Jack Dempsey. But closer stu
dents of all sorts of sport, if they stop
and think, will give the topmost rung
of the ladder of perfection to Willie
Hoppe.
Some Will object.
There will be some who will say
that Hoppe isn't an athlete at all be-
cause billiards isn't an athletic game.
True, it is far cry from the delicate
stroke of the cueist to the mighty
swing of a Ruth or the crushing
punch of a Dempsey, yet the same
qualities enter into the making of
each; perfect mental and physical CO.
ordination, a sense of time and rhythm.

A tin can could be slipped over the
exhaust pipe and the hose inserted In
a hole In the can. This would serve
the purpose just as well as the flexible
pipe, except it would be difficult to
keep In place and would tend to rattle.
Fans Cause Trouble.
Efficient cooling of motor depends
somewhat upon the condition Of the
fan, or more particularly, the fan
blades. An instance is known where
a motorist had gone over his car and
even had a repairman investigate to
find out why the motor heated. II
was found that three out of the four
fan blades had in some manner be-
come Strengthened out, so as to pull
no air through the radiator, although
the fan was being driven by the belt
as it was designed to do. AS soon as
the blades were turned to their orig
inal position and air was pulled
through the radiator there was ne
trouble about keeping the motor cool
Clean the Fuel Tank.
Don't overlook the gasoline tank In
the matter of cleaning, for at some
time it will be found this Is neces-
sary thing. Here was recent cause
that baff1ed even the experts, and 1t all
came about because the owner ran
out of gasoline. That was not great
misfortune, for he happened to be
near a supply station and the tank
was refilled. But the motor would not
start although a few moments before
it had been running. Gasoline would
not flow to the carburetor, although
the tank had just been filled.
When the gasoline ran out, became
entirely exhausted, even down to the
last drop, it carried into the gasoline
feed pipe some little particle of refuse
or dirt that previously had been float
ing on the top Of the gasoline. This
found its way into the pipe and clogged
it, so as to prevent flow to the car
buretor. The remedy was simple
enough when the difficulty was dis
covered. The gasoline pipe was re-
moved and the particle of dirt blown
out 1t Is because of this that it is
essential that the tank be cleaned out
every once in a while.
