DALTON film RETITLED.
First Evidence of Good Faith of Pro-
ducers in Cleanup Seen.

OuCSAS Al seen.
The first real evidence of good faith
on the part of the movie producers to
clean up their business was brought
to Topeka this week when a complete
ly new set of advertising and publicity
material was received from the New
York offices of the Paramount-Lasky
corporation, covering the latest release
starring Dorothy Dalton.
As originally sent out this picture
was entitled 1.-THE Teaser." AS a story
of dance hall girl of the northern
frontier during the gold rush days.
one can see that this title at once fell
within the classification of the "sug-
gestive" against which Adolph Zukor
recently issued orders. AS the film
will appear before the public now it
will be entitled 1.-The Idol of the
North" Whether there have been
changes made within the story and
scenes, remains to be seen, but it is
noticeable thstd4nany of the advertis-
ing cuts originally sent out have been
'"killed'' and less suggestive ones sub
stituted.

 From Thomas BarattierO-Church Notices for Sunday-Fined S25 in COurt-Berlin Bits.

Things are gradually getting into shape preparing for elections to be held this fall. The following offices are to be filled at this time: selectman, first, second and third; tax collector, town clerk, consta bles, grand jurors, assessors. board of relief, registrars of voters, auditors and the school committee. All of these offices were flied at the election last year with the exception of that of town clerk. This office is filled every other year and not annually as are the rest
 Arthur L. Woodruff, present town clerk, announced this morning that he intends to be a candidate for that office again at the fall elections. MT. Woodruff has been town clerk of Ber- lin for several years. He has served the town to the best of his ability. according to local politicians and it : is probable that he will be reelected at the polls. AS far as can be learned, no other person in r-e town has sig nified his intentions of running for this office.
 Dame rumor has it that there will be more or less agitation in regards to the first selectman's berth. George B. Carter has held rnis office for the past year and in the judgment of many has done very we'll
 The tax collectors office will not have any trouble in being filled if the gossip about town should take the course it is now leading. Two prom inent Kensington men have been named as possible candidates although when called neither would say any thing for the present.
 At the last session of the registrars which was held in the town clerks office last night, Henry Deming stated that about 20 people have reported to file any changes.

The idea of submitting the matter to the league of nations, -ays L'Oeuvre, originated with NJ Driand. who suggested it to Mr. Lloyd George when they met at the Italian -mbassy last Tuesday. The British premier rejected the plan, but revived tt when he found France would not give way yesterday.
 Much Dissatisfaction.
 Emphatic dissatisfaction with the decision of the supreme council to call upon the league of nations to set tie the Silesian question was generally expressed by the press here today.
 The students of Paris today entered into the Uupper Silesian controversy. Residents of the city found on their way to work this morning that the city had been plastered with large posters issued by an association of students. The posters gave care fully prepared argument in support of the French position as opposed to that of Great Britain.
 Newspapers printed in the English and French languages based their contention that the French attitude was correct on the ground that if the partition of Silesia would cause to arise spirit of revenge in Germany it was too late to apply this theory. They declared that, since Danzig and other places had been taken away from Germany, the only thing remain ing was to render Germany as inn potent possible.
 Want U. S. Aid.
 In resolution adopted by the supreme council the congress of the United States is urged to act in aid of financial relief for Austria The resolution expresses the desire of the council that the United States pass, as soon as convenient the measure in this connection that Ambassador liar vey informed the meeting was still pending. so that the Austrian financial relief plan, which is declared to have been held up by American delay in waiving Austrian debt payments may be put into operation.
 The allied nations are planning financial relief for Austria through a scheme. one feature of which in- that nation for period of 20 years. Paris dispatches in July reported authorization by the council of am- bassadors of communication with the United States with a view to securing it's consent to withholding claims estimated at approximately SPA, ,00os- 900 against Austria.

TAX REFORM AIMS
 TO AID BUSINESS
(Continued from First Page).

Representatives Longworth and Bacharach led the movement for re- duced normal income taxes. Mr. Bacharach first proposed a reduction in the rate from 4 to. per cent. or $500 increased exemption for both married and single persons First the committee voted for the increased ex- empticn for, all paying the normal taxes. Then it reversed itself and al- lowed only an exemption to heads of families for each child and dependent
 This caused considerable criticism in the republican ranks an1 the granting of an increased exemption of $500 to married persons resulted.
 The committee also considered placing per cent. tax on the man ufacturerers of the articles on which luxury taxes are imposed under the present laws
 Reduction Near $6OO,00O.
 The reductions made with those of $55O, O,0G0,000 made previously, bring the total close to the 100000 900 set by House leaders and President Hard ing.
 The committee is putting the finish ing touches on the tax bill and it probably will be completed tomorrow.

Monden believes it will pass by August 23.

Dr. Lyman P. Powell, who once
wrote the history of Education in
Delaware. and has in recent years
been professor at New York Uni
versity and president of Hobart
College, Geneva, N. Y. has lately
been sought by many institutions
over the country to advise them in
their organization and publicity on
a more academic and normal basis
than that of the professional cam
paign companies.
There is a reaction against con-
ventional drives" the needs re-
mains for more money for various
worthy academic purposes. and DIR.
Powell. because of his combination
OF practical and academic experience
has become counsellor to many in
stitutions which wish to get results
without resort to any of the methods
which have become Objectionable in
the public mind. Many journals are
publishing articles about his sug-
gestions because of their freedom
from personal exploitation and their
general interest.
