PAONESSA IS BEST MAYOR, GILL SAYS
Republican Leader Pays Tribute to Executive at Annual Outing

"The best mayor New Britain ever who'll talk to you," was the charac- terization of Mayor Angelo NJ. Paones- sa, made yesterday afternoon at the annual outing of city officials at Mo- mauguin, by Alderman John F. Gill, republican and mayor pro tenn. The alderman asked support of the execu- tive from his fellow council members and from all city officials and em- ployes.
 About 100 attended the affair which was pronounced one of the most suc- cessful in the score of years that such affairs have been conducted. Council man Clifford Hellberg presided as toastmaster. Prosecuting Attorney Joseph c. Woods was the principal speaker. He dwelt at length upon the individuality of Casar, Napolean and the other leaders of medieval times and told of the bene- fits that would accrue from individual ity in municipal governmental mat ters. Lawyer David l.. Dunn, chair man of the police commission spoke briefly as did the mayor. Alderman Gill, Francis Egan and J. J. Coffey favored with vocal numbers, John j.. Crean accompanying on the piano.
 What was probably the most mirth provoking incident of the day was the announcement of a ball game. made by Councilman Hellberg at the close of the dinner. as follows:
 "The party will now adjourn to the park where a baseball game will be played between the democrats and the Americans"
 The democrats took their uninten- tional divorcement from citizenship good-naturedly and adjourned to the park where they were defeated by the Americans.

 FROM DEATH TRAP
Woman Then Leaps as Train Hits Auto

Atlantic City, July 27--When her automobile became stalled on the tracks of the Philadelphia electric road at the Illinois and Baltic avenue crossing yesterday morning, Mrs Anna Rodkin of 255 North Illinois avenue threw her two children from the car and then jumped herself just as the machine was hurled high into the air by train. They escaped in jury, but Mrs. Rodkin suffered ner- vous shock.
 Mrs. Rodkin had i'll her car Rebec- ca, aged eleven, and Dorothy, nine by gates, but has Watchman whc gives the danger signal with a red lantern. The tracks are used by both the electric and steam trains.
 According to Mrs. Rodkin, as she started to cross the tracks, the watch man, Charles Amadboro, ran from his shanty and began frantically to wave his lantern. Looking up the tracks, she saw the approaching train. In her excitement her foot slipped from the accelerator and the engine be- came stalled.
 Without hesitation Mrs. Rodkin grabbed her children, who were with her on the front seat and threw them from the car Then she jumped, and hardly had she struck the ground when the electric engine crashed into the car and dragged it along the tracks about forty feet, then hurled 1t in the air.
 More than score of persons wit messed the woman's act and rushed to her aid. She was hysterical, but calmed somewhat when her children put their arms about her and she realized they were uninjured.

BLODGE77 WARNS OF
 INCREASED TAXES
Gives Rotarians Instructive Talk
Concerning Tax LeVis

Tn an address before the memberl of the New Britain Rotary club al the Elks' club on Washington street this noon, State Tax Commissioner William Blodgett Issued warning against the state and towns increas sing the taxation on real estate in order to obtain money with which to pay the encountered expenses.
 MT. Biodgett stated that he. with many other state officials, believed that the workingman. who usually in- vests his spare money in real es- tate, Is burdened enough in taxation on property, and 1t Is felt that other means of raising money will have to bS brought before the legislature for discussion at It's coming session.
 Other Suggestions.
 One method which MT. Blodgett has advocated as a means for securing an additional income for the state is that of taxing intangible wealth and es- tablishing a state income tax, such as Is done in New York state and in Massachusetts. Senator John Trum- bull was also present at the meeting and in a short address stated that he opposed the above methods of raising taxes whep they were suggested some time ago but he also believes the bur den on the taxpayer Is suflciently heavy and new means should be de- Nsed.
 Money Collected.
 In his talk, Mir. Blodsett told of the amount of money which is used by the state and how the items of expense have increased within the past few years.
 Unofficial figures given by the tax commissioner show that up to June 30 of this year the state had collect cd s2o,7o4,ooo with which to pay its expenses. Of this amount s1,3ss, 900 has been expended. For comparison, the figures in 1902 were given which showed that the state at that time had received $2,500,o00 with which to pay operating expenses.
 Highways and Schools.
 According to the speaker, the great est expense involved by the state is that of the public schools. The state highways also use large amount of money each year. In 1895 the speak CT stated that less than s2,ooo was spent for the state highways and the cities and towns took care of most of the roads.
 With the increase in the number Of automobiles, however, 1t has been necessary for the state to take over the trunk lines and develope Its high ways.
 60 Millions in Taxes.
 In quoting several figures the tax commissioner stated that over 63 mill lions of dollars are collected in taxes in the state of Connecticut each year for the purpose of carrying on the
New Britain herald., 1922-07-27

work which has been planned. This includes te money raised by the state. the various cities, towns. burroughs and Are districts,
 New Britain's Percentage.
 From figures which were taken from this city two years ago. the speaker said that 7s percent. of inc money raised in taxes in this city was through the real estate medium h figures this amounted to $l.6ss,7i1, The amount from personal property tcta,cd $422,l29.a7.
 The percentage of taxation raised on real estate in New Britain is lcwer than in most of the Connecti- cWt cities. The average percentage throughout the state as given oul this noon is 82 percenr.
 Trumbull Speaks.
 Senator John Trumbull was called upon to speak. He placed emphasis on what Mir. Blodgett had already said and again repeated the warning of in- creasing the real estate taxation.
 Junior Achievement Work.
 The report of the committee which was appointed several weeks ago to look into the work of the Junior Achievement was read this noon.
 Judge B. F. Gaffney. chairman of the committee. spoke on the matter and urged the local club to do all 1t could for the work. He thought, however. that other local organiza- tons should aid, and he made a motion that the committee be discharged and the president of the club with the di- rectors meet with other local organi- zations and make a report at a meet ing to be held next week
 Miss Esther Donahue spoke in the interests of the Junior Achievement work. She told of her coming to this city about one year ago and organiz- ing the clubs, At that time there were but four clubs in the city, while there are 34 at the present time.
 Work Needed Here.
 In her talk Miss Donahue stated that she thought New Britain more so than many other cities needed the work of the Junior Achievement which is said to be of great benefit to the boys and girls.
 During the year that Junior Achievement has been organized here about 1000 boys and girls have been reached and the local council now feels that money is needed so that many more of the children over 10 years of age may be benefited. She urged that if person cannot give money they can at least give service.
 Harry Jackson, chairman of the council in his speech. said that the Junior Achievement work here has been carried on with s25 raised from bazaar. He asked the club to get in back of the movement,
 The Rotary Club passed on the mo- tion introduced by Judge Gafney and with other local organiza tions is planning to get behind the work and aid the younger boys and girls of this city.
 To Meet in August.
 After much discussion it was voted to hold the regular weekly meetings of the New Britain Rotary club dur ing the month of August. The h. Rotary headquarters has requested the various clubs to meet during the month if possible.
 Due to the fact that Mrs. Kronholm will not be in New Britain during the first two weeks in August the meet lngs on these Thursdays will be held at the Shuttle Meadow club.

A BABY'S EARACHE
PROMPTED AUTHOR
TO WRITE A HIT

The idea about which Ossip .Dy-
mow's play. Bronx Express" revolves
was conceived in a unique fashion. 1t
appears that Mr.. Dymow, at the
time an inveterate subwayite, had
been in the habit of relieving the
tedium of underground travel by
fancying that the familiar figures
IN the advertising cards were alive.
1t amused him to speculate upon
their conversation and manner
could they suddenly be endowed
with life. But the possibility of
incorporating this thought into a
play did not occur to him until 4
summer night three years ago
when his small daughter awoke in
he night complaining of earache.
Like many domestic crises which
catch watchful parents of their
guard, this one overlook the by
NOW family in the midst of a sum-
mer vacation at the seashore with
the nearest physician well-nigh in
accessible. In a desperate effort to
calm his fretfuG offspring, Mr.. Dy-
NOW called upon his Imagination
in lieu of a better remedy and
launched forth upon the story
which forms the plot of the play
now on view at the Astor Theater
in New York.
The magical effect upoE his little
girl of the hastily conjured-up tale,
Mr.. Dymow says, convinced him of
its value as entertainment. for It
seemed to him that a story suf-
ficiently engrossing to make a child
forget its pain might be relied
upon to make the tired business
man forget. temporarily at least,
the cost of living, etc.
Mr.. Dymow went to work on the
play the next morning. and on the
following December. 1919, Bronx
Express was produced at the
Yiodish Art Theater. The produc-
tion was a success and there were
demands for an English version of
