while the financial condition laid before the members
and discussed The showing satisfactory and there
was an optimistic confidence in the future prevailing with
all the members The new plan for financing an endoW-
en fund was discussed and cordially received When this
plan is in full working it will bring condition that will
make the future easy those who direct the desnes
of the Milford Emergency Hospital The arrangement for
specasts to attend each certain days. in addition
tO the present Board Medical Advisors was approved
and it has been working for several months OF last year.
The superintendent Mrs Johnson congratulated for
the excellent administration and management Of the hos
pital during 1922 One of speciaes of the hospital
will be the department for maternity patients which has
been popular in the recent past 1t was shown that the
cost of maternity cases can be reduced to sum less by
several dollars to the patients than the would be
if thew remained in their home and employed MD
wives instead of trained In several cases the COST
has been less by ten dollars. This should mean
mich to the mothers and who directly interested
in maternity cases. At hospital the attention is given
under the most convenient and cleany condions the
child looked after for any physical defects and preVen-
ttive treatment given where to guard against
anv inherited troubles The nourshment is what the mo-
tber and child both require and served at the proper IN
tervals Every person who get the opportunity shou
take advantage of the maternity wards in hospitals 4s
will be one of the specaltes at the Milford Emergency
Hospital in Milford.

berless other excuses and reasons for
not filing on time are given by persons
who had no intention of evading the
law, but such do not relieve from the
penalties. 1t is well to remember that
few, if any, excuses will stand when
you are discovered delinquent. A very
frequent one is that no blank form
was received. This is insufficient to
avoid penalties, inasmuch as the Rev
enue Bureau places responsibility for
securing these forms on the taxpayer
and maintains that it is not the bur
eau's responsibility. Therefore, if no
form is received, write, telephone or
visit the collectors Office to secure
one. Another frequent excuse made by
a person is that he (or she) did not
know so much money was earned.
Here again the law places this respon-
sibility upon the taxpayer. A person
must find out his Tor herr earnings
for 1922 by asking the employer, If
necessary.
To sum up, all information regard
ing the filing of returns can be best
and most safely secured by a letter,
telephone or personal interview at the

D. w. Grifith's newest photoplay
sensation, Orphans Of the Storm"
adapted from the stage classic made
famous by Kate Claxton, "The Two
Orphans" will be seen for the first
time under a United Artists Corpora
ton release in this town at the Nix
on Theatre next Monday and Tuesday.
The production represents months
of preparation and a most careful
study of the period depicted, the time
of the French Revolution. The basis
of the story is the famous old play,
but Mr.. Griffith has woven into it an
historical romance with the thrills of
some of the maddest days of the revo-
luton. The guillOtine is seen at it's
deadly work and there are tremend-
GUS crowds of frantic men and women
fighting wildly against the aristOcrat
in the hope of freedom.
In the role of Henriette is Lillian
Gish, whose work in former Griffith
productions has placed her at the fore
front of screen artists. Dorothy Gish
has the role of the blind grid, Louise,
the other orphan. Then there is JOS
eph Schildkraut, said to be the hand
soonest actor in all Europe, and who
made such a sensational success in
the leading role of 'Liliom," in New
York. He is seen as the romantic
lover of Henriette, the Chevalier de
Vaudrey. Monte Blre, known to all
the patrons of the screen, has the role
of Danton. Sidney Herbert another
artist, of high repute and achieve
ment, is the Roberpierre. He was for
twelve years in the famous old Angus
tin DAILY Company. Creighton Hale,
who will be remembered as the but
terfy professor of F'Way Down East" !"
has a part and Frank Puglia is case
as Pierre. Another noted member of
the cast is Kate Bruce, recalled for
her work in Hearts Of the World"
''Way Down East" and other Griffith
productions. Frank Losee, Catherine

which recently appeared in "The Pic

wonderful cast including Lon CLANCY

most difficult, but the finest work of
his career. Harrison Ford, one of the
most popular leading men in pictures
having shared honors with Norma
Talmadge in "Smilin' Through" ap-
pears in a powerful roll as a young
minister. Marguerite De La Motto,
heroine of "The Three Musketeers"
and girl of .wondrous beauty and tall
ent, has the finest opportunity of her
career as the young wife. John Sam
polls, celebrated for his work in "The
Four Horsemen" gives one of his
best characterizations as Nate Snow.
Walter Longand, Buddy Messenger
also make remarkable contributions
to this picture.
The plot evolves around storm at
sea during which the brutal admiral
of the local feet is lost and China
man floats to the shore on a stray bit
of wreckage. The young minister Of
Urkey marries the widow of the lost
man. The following year he receives
threatening note signed by his wife's
first husband telling of his rescue and
making demands for large sum of
money which the pastor is unable to
raise. How the solution is reached

les ever told on the screen, and will

WINTER JOYS

By Virginia Tyler Causey, age nine,
Daughter Of DR.. Henry ID. Causey
When on the ground the snow doth
lay
We forward look to Christmas Day.
With all the lovely gifts and toys
For all the little girls and boys.
And when the ice is on the hill
Well pull our sleds up with will
Then down We'll fly, so swiftly go,
Hurrah, for Winters ice and snow!
At night around the fire we sit
While Papa reads and Mama knits-
First our lessons, then our prayers,
Then we go trooping up the stairs.
While mother turns off all the lights
Good night, we shout, good night, good
night.
