girls. however, teill not be entertained
in the elaborate manner of the past
seasons. unless the program unex-
pectedly changes in the next few
days. While there are more girls to
be introduced this year than probably
ever before, the festivities in their
honor are fewer and of quieter and
less expensive nature. Few large
dances are scheduled and it is only
occasionally that a girl is presented
in the old-fashioned way, with an
afternoon reception, when from two
to eight of her sister debutantes re-
ceived with her. That was when
every friend of the family called some
time in the afternoon between and
q O'Clock to pay their respects. That
form OF presentation seems to have
been abandoned for good in New York
society, and instead we have lunch
ecnS, the most popular of all means of
entertaining this season, and Incl
dentally the least expensive; dinners
followed by theater parties and in
formal dances at the fashionable sup
per clubs.
Miss Betty Franklin. daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. Philip A. s. Franklin,
was launched on the social sea Tues
day by means of an old-fa shioned re-
ception, one of the few such affairs
scheduled for the season. Miss Frank

in England and before returning to
New York with her mother from Lon

night following her debut, Thanks

that exclusive set.

Philip Freneau Author
of the First American
Poem of Independence

Now the two great English-speaking
nations, the United States and Great
Britain, happily are on terms Of amity,
but in the days Of the differences
there was feeling against the mother
country intensely violent, as Is shown
by the appended verses Philip Ere
neau, author of the poem, was the first
American poet of any note He was
born In 1852 In New York, was gradu-
ated from Princeton In It'll, and in
.1775, at the age of twenty-three, he
wrote this bitterly satirical poem, en-
titled Emancipation From British De-
pendence." The next year Independence
was declared by the Continental con-
gress. Freneau lived to the, age Of
eighty, dying near Freehold. N. j., late
In 1882.

PUBLIC WILL SUFFER, OPERATOR DECLARES
"Driye It Yourself" Men To Cut Car
 Supply If Taxi License Required

Neither the city, county nor state would get any more revenue by col lecting the taxi cab license fee from operators of drive-it-yourself cars, according to the manager of one of these companies Sunday The com paies keep on hand all the time about 25 more cars than they need for week day business. to be rented out on Sundays and holidays, this official said. Under the increased tax, only automobiles in continuous use througout the week would be kept.
 "This would mean that hundreds of people too poor to own cars of their own would be deprived of their increased tax would make it unprof- itable for us to keep them. Those who managed to get cars on Sunday would have to pay higher rentals cn them, as we would have to increase our rates to meet the added expense. That would just be another tax on the public"
 Owners of these cars have already started their fight to get new interpretation of the tax law that would permit them to continue to operate cars under private licenses. A meeting was held last week to consider steps to be taken, and Fred Fite. prominent Birmingham at torney, was retained to represent them.
 It has been estimated that city, county and state taxes on these cars already amount to approximately $40 each, which probably would be in creased 100 per cent, if it becomes necessary to obtain taxi cab licenses.
