Sl,2l5.5O IS TOTAL
 IN KIDS RAMP FUND
Donations For Fresh Air Camp Are Progressing in ~
 Satisfactory Manner.

Contributions to the Fresh Air fund. large or small, from societies and from individuals, were received at The Herald office today, bringing up the total in manner that is gratifying though not yet fully satis- factory. Some of the money was sent direct to the treasurer of the commit tee, although The Herald acknowl- edges it, and some was sent in to the Fresh Air Editor of this Iaper. Either method is satisfactory as the whole idea of handling the funds is to give as many as possible of New Britain's under nourished children an outing in the open air. Every cent donated is diverted to this end, there being no expense of the campaign for funds. However. the use of The Herald gives a central clearing house for the han dling of the funds and also gives a chance to publicly acknowledge the donations and spread the financial af- fairs of the camp before the general public, which should be interested in this most worthy of objects.
 There are few who will deny that q stitch in time saves nine," particu- larly when the familiar adage is ap- piled to the health construction of the young folks. There is no way of estimating the returns to the city in taking care of children when they are liable to be sick but before they are actually so.
 On the other hand there is no doubt but that several lives will be saved and many lives made happier and healthier through the much treasured two weeks in the country that is afforded by the Fresh Air camp. The support of the camp is entirely up to the citizens of New Britain as there is no regular ap- Lropriation for the conduct of it's affairs.

New York, June 2S.-A federal grand jury today indicted Martin and Martin, Inc. Fifth avenue saddlera and dealers in leather goods. and Herbert r. Martin. member .of the firm on charges of violating tIe rev enue act of 1918 and conspiring 10 defraud the government by evading payment of luxury taxes.
 U. $. Attorney Hayward said the indictment marked the beginning of u campaign against cvaders of the luxury tax.
 Thirteen counts were contained in the indictment returned against the firm, which has offices in London and Philadelphia. Mrs. Cornelius Vanderbilt was named as one of it's customers on whose purchases the firm had failed 10 pay the luxu. y tax.
 Mir. Hayward declared the firm $ method was to make out two sales slips for articles on which luxury taxes were due. Thus in one case a $120 cocktail shaker. on which a SG.50 tax was due, appeared as $l20 worth of harness. saddle and spurs, OH which no tax was due.
 They did not attempt 10 save their customers from the payment, but on. the contrary they assessed tho tax on them every time. putting in In their own pocket" declared Mir. Hayward. i-
