HE ROMANCE OF WORDS
"DUN."

Y IKE boycott" jazz" bun R. combe" and a number of other words which are now ac- knowledged members of the English family, dun" had it's origin in man of that name-a certain John Dun, who was con- stable in England during the early part of the last century.
 Dun, as might be supposed, was a past master of his profes- sion, a successful collector of debts. No job was too hard for him to tackle, no debtors too callous for him to prick their conscience or shame them into payment in one way or another, One of the constables pet schemes was to cali upon debtor twice, and on each of his first two visits he would wear his ordinary clothes. Then, if the debtor still refused to pay and there was no doubt that Ob- igation should be met, Dun would adopt the stratagem of dressing ill some outlandish cos tuned scarlet cloak or a pair of green tights-so as to make himself as conspicuous as pos sihle. Thus attired and ringing bell in order further to pro- claim the reason for his visit, he would return, and it was seldom that the debtor Withstood more than one of these public an nouncements of his delinquency.
 Because Constable Dun was so successful in the collection of money due it became common in such cases to say, You'll have to send Dun for your mon ey' or You'll have to Dun him to get it." and the expression persisted long after the con stable himself was dead and for gotten.

STRANGE ARGUMENT FOR

postal money orders for $90S, contends

served five years of a sentence for

the crime. Today he was awaiting the

peal for a discount on the probable
sentence for mis- present conviction.
Some leniency should be shown,

Jersey Man Advocates Tax Equalization

pride and foolisEness than we do in tax es. In paying a S1e0 tax we pay about $50 for schools and education and $50 for the other things such as police and fire protection, but We make more fuss over this S100 than all the other things that sle average man pays for.
 The main difficulty, I believe, is that of equalization.
 The average taxpayer asks, 'Do I pay more than my neighbour Is what I pay just? And in the percentage of cases uEder the present system there is
 to b. said for the man. The assessor who is erected by the people is more or less influenced by the voter. so that in good faith, little is sliced off his list. There are two concrete examples in this same town. Ono man owns property valued Ut S100,00e and paving an inca that is large. Another man owns a lit.
 tie eight room house valued at $3, 3,60o. But the man who owns the $fe6, ,8ea prop. erty only pays about per cent. of the l income of the property while the lit tle follow has to cash in about 20 per ! cent. of the income from his property whether he lives in the house or whether 1 he rents 1t. This $ what causes q large amount of dissatisfaction and the onls remedy is equalization.

Of course this would not apply to all cases but it would make a much more equal taxation than the pres ent way. 4 large number of people object to large tax list and seem to pre- fer high tax rate on low valuation People shoula get back of a movement to get property up to fair valuation if everyone is to pay just tax rate.

WINDHAM COUNTY DOCTORS HOLD
 LIQUOR PRESCRIPTION REooRH

Windham county, as rural county aG the state contains, is gaining the rep1ts- tion of being the heaviest regular" ii< quor consuming section of the state, says the Hartford Times, if the manner iA which some of the country docteFs of that section of the state are stFaining their allowance under the prehibitiea law of prescribing not more than 1se Pizts in as many prescriptions, may be taken as an index
 Returns al the office of Prohibition DI- rector Julius c. Stremlau indicate that Windhann coCn.S- doctors are in a class by themselves in the way they exhaust, sometimes in advance of the allotted time of three months, the 100 permits for prescriptions allotted them by the PTo- hibition director. Each doctor h the state is allowed a prescription book esn- taining 100 liquor prescription blanks. no prescription to eAeeed one pint, and 2 stub Of the blank remains in the book and Is returned with the book ts the prohibition director.
 Many physicians do not use s1e much
 a booklet Of blanks in a year but cut In
 Windham county. some of the country doctors exhaust their allotment h six
 or eight weeks. Inquiry has revealed that it is not to be aseribed so much 10 the preference of doctors to prescribe i!- @--------AN maRd Is due to the tastes of patient. who insist that ills be treated only ny liquor prescription. Consequently tho doctors hand is forced. and as the law permits him to use 100 liquor prescrip-
 tions every three months. he goes the . limit thereby aiding the mental gugges-
 tion of his patients.
 1 Another reason why some rural resi-
 dents are leaning heavily on the doctors
 liquor prescription blanks is their Ina bility to procure many "inyigoratin-
 cure-air' patent medicines, whose alec holic content put them under the ban
