 The slump in income tax collections throughout the country will be some what less than that at Bridgeport ac- cording to preliminary but unofficial

 Six Deputies Busy.
 Six deputies, Harry M. Greenman, John l.. Lyons. Richard V. Meehan, Thomas H. Hill, Clifford A. wilmot and Revenue Agent Oliver H. Mitchell handled the work in Bridgeport. MT. Mitchell was detailed from the Rev enue Agents division to advise on cor poration returns. In former years quired in the Bridgeport office to handle the rush of taxpayers.
 The slump collections due to busi- ness conditions was accentuated by the raising of the exemption for mar ried men to $25O0, and for each de- pendent to $4o0.- This provision of the new law brought a boom in 'tNo tax returns, as large numbers of people had incomes large enough to require the filing of return, but not sufficiently large to overbalance the liberal exemption provisions.
 Deputies Show Loyalty.
 Mir. O'Connel1 spoke feelingly this morning of the devotion to duty of the deputies at the local office, say 
 since the 18th of February from in the morning until at night, and last nght they stayed until ~ midnight. The deputies are well.nigh exhausted, strain on a deputy collector of sft- ting for eleven hours. a day for a month at stretch and finally to be put to the test of handling a. continual from a. m. until midnight, answer ing all kinds of technical questions smoothing out bhe difficulties for tax payers and making out each return with absolute accuracy.

MEANING OF ROTARY
President of International Tells Cleve-
land of Clubs Citizenship.


Cleveland, 0. Dec. 15.-Abil.ty to
understand our fellowman is the great
fundamental force necessary in busi-
ness, social and community life, de-
caared Raymond NJ Havens Of Kan
sas City. president of Rotary Interna-
tional. speaking here last night to Ro-
tary clubs Man is not born with an
understanding. but with the ability to
understand, he asserted, pointing out
that only thru understanding will
peace and good will come to the
world.
Friendship is founded upon un-
derssand.ng one another" said Mr..
Havens- In the competition and riv-
RIries of striving for success we often
think Of the other fellow as our
enemy. One day we get his viewpoint
and he ceases TO be our enemy-we
understand each other. The anar-
chist, communist and the conspirator
against civilization are men who do
not understand The way to Ameri-
canize the unATnerican is to treat him
so that he will understand America.
The good citizen is the one who un-
derstands that he is the law, the up
holder of representative government
and responsible TO his country for his
country's good.
The primary purpose of Rotary
IS to make good citizens and we must
understand what good citizenship is
before we can teach IL to others The
good Rotarian is unit of Rotary In
bVsiness. social and civic life. This
idea once grasped makes him see not
only his small field of activity but all
civilization.
in all his activities the Rutarian
stands for success because civilization
is only another name for the success
of mankind IN understanding their
world. In Rotary, the citizen finds
himself in an environment where un-
derstanding Is the thing and where
