A. J. Merritt And Dr. F. J. Adams Elected To Board Of Directors
 Of Home Abbatoirs Corporation

The rapid progress that is being made by the Confederated Home Ab- batoirS corporation, the company that is back of the proposed packing house for Bridgeport and vicinity, has necessitated the enlargement of the of the local company held yesterday, two new directors were elected to the board. These new members are for mer Lieutenant Commander Albert J. Merritt, the well-known attorney of this city and Dr. Frederick J. Ad- ans, former major with the American forces in France. for ten years local clan of wide repute. The addition of these new members to the board will enable the company to better take care of the development CE the To- cal plant.
 Charles Stad1er, we11-known archi- tect, who has designed most of the largest packing houses in the United States, has been tn the city for sev- era1 days and has practically com pleted the plans for the local plant. These plans are in conformity with the requirements of the United States Department of Agriculture because, as the Bridgeport plant will be Fed tion must have the approval of the government.
 Ernest N. Brown of the German Brown Engineering Corporation, with whom the local company has a twen- ty-fve year management contract to supervise the erection and operation of the local plant, was in the city yesterday and in discussing the Bridgeport plans said:

Abattoirs Corporation and your local directors have insisted upon the very highest type of equipment throughout. The building will be of steel and con- crete construction and the very latest word in a building of this type, em- not been incorporated in other pack ing houses.
 It might be we'll at this time to correct the impression that prevails in some quarters that a packing house is more or less an objection able institution. The modern packing house of the type that is intended for this city and vicinity is an ornament to any community and has none of the ize the old time slaughter house. All offensive odors are disposed of through the employment of conden- sers that absorb and diSsipate all odors about the plant. There is very little waste or refuse from the mod there is, quickly passes to 1ncinera- tors and is not allowed to accumu- late. The Federal inspectors are very strict in their supervision of these and other sanitary details.
 The local packing plant will be a big factor in the industrial life of the city and should prove a most cal sentiment in favor of the new in dustries of a permanent and substan- tiaI nature. There will be work for two hundred and fifty or three hun dred people right from the start and it will mean steady employment all the year round because the packing industry has no off seasons and is, country today that is anywhere near n

Cabmen Call Ruble
 Lemon In Russia

Moscow, June 8.-The Soviet ruble has now reached such a low value that cabmen, shopkeepers and other persons refer generally to millions as "1eemons." or lemons. The min imum fare for a short cab ride is generally "1eemon," or one lemon.
 In restaurant menus and other price lists the final six ciphers are generally cut off; for example. the price of an order of beefsteak, real ly: 3.20O,000 rubles is expressed as 3.20 rubles.
 For the past few weeks the curb rate of exchange has been in the neighborhood of 100000 rubles to the dollar, making one "lemon' worth about 25 cents American.
 Food prices soar daily to such an extent that a housewife. with enough to buy 10 pounds Of bread today, may be able to buy only six pounds tomorrow.

 Is woman who has a loving hus- band, 8 charming child and a home marked by luxury justified in Sur rendering to the spirit of discontent because her life lacks the element of social gaiety?

EMPIRE.

What can the motion picture pro- vide in place of stage colour? That is a question largely answered in the spectacular Harley Knoles production of Carnival which was recently re- leased by United Artists and will be shown at the Empire theatre. begin ming today.
 The devices employed claim chief attention.
 Here is a story which almost cries aloud for color. To an extent they have supplied color in monochrome. Thus in the night pictures of Venice afioat flares or rockets are seen drop ping on the water in red or green sparks, and at the carnival ball, lime lanterns flash now one tint, now an other, on the crowd of dancers. But the real substitutes are variants in lighting and that rapidity of move ment which is the cinema's monop- oly. The ball episodes, with their animation and brilliance, comple en- thusiasm in these respects, while agreeable novelties of the film are views of the stage from behind and of a huge audience in front. As for the> illustration panorama of Venice, it is as good as photography can make it.

FROM NEW LAWS
NEARLY TWO MILLION COLLECT
ED BY TREASURER-INCOME
AND GASOLINE TAXES AHEAD
WITH CORPORATION LICENS.
ES NEXT. +... n-.ta.

Columbia, NoY. 18.-Nearly $2,-
100000 has already been collected
this year from the new revenue bills
taking into consideration the old
three mill corporation license tax
and the domestic corporation IL
cense tax, according to figures COM
piled by S. T. Carter, state treasur-
er yesterday. The exact amount, in
cluding collections for. November
II, was announced as $1,802.37
OF this total the income tax mon
ey was far ahead with S900,69!99
and the gasoline tax was second
with s529,156.05 to date. The in
come tax has already reached a fig
gure higher than WAS expected
when the law was first put into oper
alton, but has not yet attained the
mark estimated by the free confer
. #
ence on the general appropriation
bill this year. They estimated the
tax would bring in a revenue OF
$1,O00,O00 and this figure may be
reached before the end of the year.
Of the 5000, ,693.99 some 10000
will have to be refunded, MIR. Car
ter estimated, some overpayments
having been made. The foreign cor
poration annual license fee has
brought in s51,666,5s to date and
the domestic corporation capital

tabulation. The three mill license
tax amounted to $ss,7o4.23.
The income tax collection is moi
yet complete and three more mon.
tbs are yet to run on the gasoline
tax. The gasoline tax will for the
ten months of the year amount to
something over 100000, Judging
by the records of the past seven
months. The tax was not operative
until march. More money will also
be received on some of the. other
taxes, but this will be comparatively
small. .......

REFUSE REQUEST
MESSAGE SENT TO GERMANY
THROUGH COUNCIL-ASK A.
POLoGY FROM BERLIN GOV.
ERNMENT-TREATY is BEING
VIOLATED.

Paris, Nov. 18.-The allied pow
ers through the council of ambassa-
dors have informed Germany thai
all questions concerning the with.
drawal of the military control COM
mission to Germany have been sus-
pended until the German govern
ment gives the fullest satisfaction
for what are termed fragrant viola
tions of the military clause of the
during the past six months and
shows willingness to abide by the
commissions instructions
The note of the allies was sent
after the receipt of German COM
munication on the subject, which
was termed "insolent to degree. "
In this communication Germany is
said to have disregarded totally the
long series Of notes of complaints
sent by the allies and to have de-
clared that she was glad to learn
the allies were about to end their
military controle and permit Ger
many to revert back to normal.
The note also ignored formal al
lied representation to the Berlin
government of September 29, con-
cerning the large number of acts of
aggression against the allied mill
tary in their work of inspection.
The allied note of today demands
an apology. The allies say their
patience is about exhausted.
The council of ambassadors is
also making another demand for the
German naval enlistment which has
been repeatedly reducd them the
last six months. 1t is said the allies
suspect that Germany is exceeding
her quota of enlistments and violat-
ing the conditions of training pro.
vided in the peace treaty. ~
The allies have decided to warn
Germany that she will not be per.
mittei to manufacture new war in.
ventions, in which she at present
is said to be- actively engaged. The
allies, however, can not prevent ex.
periments in such inventions. "
