Christmas Saddened for Officer and
 Mrs. Bernard Kenorson

Officer Kenerson of the local State Barracks is offering a reward of $25.00 for information leading to the arrest of the person who poisoned his dog Friday night. The person who committed the contemptible deed secured a fresh bone to attract the dog, and saturated it with stry- chnine. This was place outside tht WengUn1, where Mr. ard Mrs. Kener- son live. A bottle was found nearby which contained the poison. Officer Kenerson is working on the case and will leave nothing undone to find the guilty person.
 The dog was partly Chow and while perhaps not valuable as dogs 60, t was a great family pet and took delight playing with the Kener- son baby.XThe death O. the animal has cast a shadow over the Kenerson family, making Christmas a sad affair. If the guilty person IS found there will be ample time for medi- tation within prison walls.

STATE FOREST ENLARGED
Gift of 175. Acres Made~ by
 Alain C. White

At a special meeting of the state park and forest commission Tues day, it was voted to accept a gift from the White Memorial Founda- ,tion of tract of 175 acres adjoin- ing the Mohawk state forest in Cornwall. This gift brings the total atea of the forest up to ap- proximately 1,400 acres, all of which has been given to the state by the White Foundation.
 Inasmuch as the state is limited in its purchases of land, to the price of SS an acre, the commission is un- able to buy land having much tim Der on it.. This new gift therefore, is a property which the state could not have acquired by purchase be- cause of its high value. 1t is so situated that it rounds out the total area and makes the tract much better adapted to the states pur- poses. ~
 During the past summer a fire lookout station was established on the summit of Mohawk mountain, one of the highest points in the state. Considerable open land has been planted with Norway pine and trail has been constructed from the summit down to Mohawk Pond on the south where boys summer camp is conducted by the Y. M. c. A. This trail is so situated as to form link in the long trail which it is contemplated will eventually connect the mountains of New Eng lland with those of the southern -Appalachians.

ONE JUDGE FOR ALL
 MOTOR VEHICLE CASES Enforceinent in Too Many , Hands Is the ts Complaint
ST OEsC ELS REPORT
Governor Outlines Reeds df yarious Phases ofs
 Administration

To meet complaints growing out of the fact that st.the handling of motor vehicle enforcement through out the state is in too many hands, :" consideration of traffic court plan extending to all parts of Connecti- cut is recommended by Motor Ve- hicle Commissioner Robbins B. Stoeckel in his annual report which has been submitted to Governor Lake,. Several other reconmenda- tions having vital bearing on the ownership and operation of motor vehicles in Connecticut are made. 5s, 'tThe remedy sought" ir the pro posal of the traffic court idea, ''is to adopt some plan whereby an arrest for fee cai, be unproftable- y Ac- cording to the commissioner, "the sentiment underlying the complaints has grown until at the present date it is so strong as to demand action. '" The duty of motor vehicle enforce ment is not centralized, enough, says the report, which calls atten. tion to recent instances in which "there have been weu-staged drives against certain forms of offenses which are not serious in themselves so conducted as to indicate intent to convict for fees" ....
 The department has received many complaints about such so-called drives and has been repeatedly asked to recommend some method of pro- eedure which might place the en foreement of the motor vehicle act into the hands of state and city off cers, exclusively Such complaint, the commissioner says, has gener ally been about arrests made by some local officer.
 So far as the traffic court plan has been developed, according to the report, 1t is that court which has salaried judge and which has regu. lar court machinery conld be con stit,tted a traffic court and, together with such other, traffic courts as might need to be especially created By the Legislature for the purpose, should handle all motor vehicle offenses. t-
 "The judge of such court would soon become learned in the motor vehicle act. Being on salary, he would not be under the stigma of being interested in securing con. vietior. The action of such an off. cial would promptly develop seri ous sentence for serious offense while minor offenses would be given their proper importance.
 Another method which might be and which has already been adopted in some states is to so reduce the fees of all the officials concerned in an arrest and trial for

 ..- INCOME TAX PAPERS Collector Eaton Begins Mail
 ing Out Returns in Con- necticut
IONS SAME
Special Revenue, Men to A..i.t ] ssat- Taxpayers in. All E. Counties

Collector of Internal Revenue Robert O. Eaton is mailing to- tax payers who made similar returns for the year 1921 ,Fom 1040A for filing individual returns of net income <of $5, GOO or lesssfor the year 1922. The form is in six pages, two of which provide for the. return proper, and two for making a duplicate of the return. ] Two pages are devoted to instructions. The duplicate and the instruction pages should be detach- ed and retained by the taxpayer, and the original return mailed to the collectors office in this city. Form 1040 for filing returns of net income in excess of $5,000 soon will be issued, and mailed to taxpayers who filed similar returns for 1921. The filing period is from January 1 to March 15, 1923.
 To avoid errors which may result to their disadvantage, taxpayers are advised by the bureau of internal revenue to study carefully the in- structions on the forms, especially those with regard to credits for per sonal exemptions ana dependents. Married persons required to make a return on Form 1040A-those whose net income was $5,000 or less-are allowed an exemption of $2,500. The exemption for married persons whose net income was in excess of $5,OOO is s2,Oo0.
 The exemption for single persons is $1,00O. Also, whether married or single, the taxpayer is allowed a credit of $400 for each person de- pendent upon him for chief support if such person is under eighteen years of age or incapable of self support because mentally or pl1ysi- cally defective. '>~@

The fact that by reason of the e%- emptions and credits, persons in come is not taxable, does not nulli- fly the requirement to file a -eturn if thes income equals or exceeds these specified amounts. Net in come upon which the tax is assessed, is gross income less certain deduc- tions for business expenses, bad debts, losses, contributions, etc, provision for which is made on the forms.

EVERGREEN A. |. DEFEATS SHEFFIELD Close Game Marked by Many Exciting
 Situations
sE TO. WIN s TE D
Triangles of That Place Win by the Score of s.
 37 to z3 ,.

The Evergreen A. c. played Sam ta Claus on Tuesday night and. pre- sented the Sheffield Fire Depart nnent with a neat defeat on its own floor. Staging3a spectacular come back from the lethargy that has gripped the team recently, the lo- cal hoop-tossers played their finest game of the season and hunbled the iremen by the close score of 31-29.
 At no time during the game was there margin of more than four points separating the two teams with Canaan leading nearly all the way. The Evergreens were in the van at half-time, on the long end of a 2o- IT count Both halfs, were packed with exciting situations which brought the spectators to their feet in spasms of enthusiasm or despair, in accordance with the team they favored. A fair sized delegation from Canaan attended the contest and cheered effectively as we'll as frantically. N
 Tommy O'Neil scored the first tally for Canaan, after Mccormick had dropped double counter for Sheffield. Baskets by Baldwin, Blass, Proper and O'Neil gave Ca- naan precious lead over the fire man, for whom McCormick, Bill Shook and Warner were gathering points. O'Neil caged brace of free trials in this half while Shook netted one.
 "Gilly" Smith started the scoring in the final session with a twin tally from under the basket. Canaan again held her own when Proper sank a distance shot. Baskets by Percy, Shook and Mccormick kept the Smoke Eaters hot on the trail but Baldwin and Proper sank enough points to escape being over hauled by the pursuit.
 Canaan switched to the defense. and held Sheffield from scoring enough to win. In spite of rough playing by the losers, the Evergreen Santa Claus stuffed Shefield's sock with bitter defeat and walked off with the hard won victory. The splendid work of Proper, both in the shooting and passing game, was a feature of the struggle. Fine floor work by Baldwin and Minacci kept the cogs of the machine from stick ing, while unusual defense work by Blags confined Bill Shook to five baskets. O'Neil and Beaujon finish ed off the teamwork in excellent fashion, although poor foul shoot ing kept, the locals from enjoying a larger margin of victory.
 Shook and Mccormick were the chief performers for Sheffield, cag- ing five field ,yoals apiece. Smith netted two while Warner and Perry each brought in a tally.
 The Evergreens displayed rare teamwork and their excellent pass ing game was largely responsible for the humiliation suffered by the fans of Sheffield.
 Jimmy Allen, of Ct. Harrington, acted as referee and his decisions met with approval from both sides.
