500 Corporations
Formed In State
During Past Year

More than 500 new domestic cor
porations were organized in Connec-
ticut during the past year, it was re-
vealed yesterday by information
of the states office by the United
States internal revenue bureau for
Connecticut.
Forms for making capital stock
tax returns were forwarded to all of
these corporations and those which
to the effect that the forms, with
blanks filled, are required to be filed
by July 81, but that failure to re-
ceive form did not excuse a cor
poration for failure to make return
within the time limit.
Under the federal laws, all domes-
tic corporations are required to pay
annually a special excise tax with
respect to carrying on or doing bust
ness, equivalent to one dollar for each
$1,000 of so much of the fair average
value of it's capital stock for the pre-
ceding year ending June 80 as in ex-
cess of $4,000. 1t is immaterial
whether the corporation is organized
for profits or has a capital stock rep
resented by shares.
100000 Decrease.
Due the exemption granted to in
surance corporations from this tax,
by provisions of the last revenue act,
federal revenue from Connecticut will
be decreased at least 100000 this
year, it was estimated yesterday. by
Collector Robert o. Eaton.
Records of the secretary of the
states office slow that ia foreign
corporations, since last July 1, have
filed papers appointing the secretary
as attorney upon whom process may
be served. A law adopted by the last
session of the Legislature requires
each such corporation to pay fee of
$50 a year to the State.

w. I'll. Ham Gave
Address to Lions

w. H. Ham in speaking before the
Lions Club luncheon meeting out
lined in considerable detail the meth
DDS of approach to the revival of
building business which is being car
ried on in Washington under the De-
partment of Commerce.
He outlined the methods of pro-
cedure in detail giving the names OF
committees and the departments of
work which were being undertaken.
These are-AIin Work Division. being
manufacturers and users of lumber,
the Plumbing and Piping section, be-
ing handled by corps of experts in
vestigating the requirements of
plumbing. the Building Code require
ments for the protection of the people
against loss of life and hazard OF
property due to inferior buildings
and the committees who are working
on this branch of the work.
Mr.. Ham outlined two distinct
things that are taking place in the
revival of business which will grow
in effect and have greater influence as
the industry proceeds under the new
thoughts which control it. One is the
revival of art in the building of homes
and the simplification of building con-
struction by elimination of excres-
cences and unrefined excuses of de-
tail and adaptation to our present day
needs OF the better class Colonial
buildings so thoroughly refined in
their design and workmanship.
fabrication idea by outlining the pur-
pose of 4 dog house at SIS from the
hardware store or the purchase of a
dormer, which has the same volume
and the same amount of detail only,
as Mr.. Ham says, cut on IS degrees
to fit the roof pitch and fitted with the
window in place OF door opening,
which is built stick by stick, climbing
up and down a ladder and costing
from $3.50 to $3.50.
He stated that the great movements
of the past had very often started
from little ripples and that the revival
in the building industry was progress
ing with some new thing growing in
importance and recognition. Among
these are-art in building of homes
and the reduction in cost by the
method of manufacture known as
President Bitter presided. The at
tendance prize, chafing dish present.
ed by Edward Hayes of the American

The mon. who had all been of
powerful physique in most cases, had
suffered terribly from illness and
starvation.
The Arabians were without food
and fire. and a number were Ill from
different causes. Three were suffer
ing with tuberculosis.
The tribe came to Farrell more
than a year ago to work in the
mills. When the big steel plants
closed down over nine months ago
they were unable to find other en-
ployment. Their money finally be-
coming exhausted. they were unable
