McEwan Brothers Paper Board factory at Whippany, by five armed bandits.
 Three bandits were captured and s6,60S was recovered by Edgewater police when the men jumped out of a taxicab and attempted to board 8 ferry for New York.

. Books Under Guard

New York, Oct. 25.-Income tax lists at the headquarters for collec- tion in lower Manhattan have been placed in large safe until curiosity dies down. Special watchmen have been assigned to guard the books.
 Frank K. Bowers, collector for the second district, said that the rush of people to see t-e returns had con- pelled precautions.
 New York newspapers today con- tinue printing lists of income tax returns, singling out the most prom inent personages in the metropolitan district and throughout the nation.
 Because of different interpreta- tions of the law regarding publicity of returns local collectors in many instances declined to give out figures in their possession resulting in only partial lists being available.
 The Herald Tribune, which re- trained from printing returns Friday morning on the basis of a treasury ruling in it's editions today carries several columns of them. Explain ing it's decision to print returns, the Herald-Tribune says in part:
 The facts which never should have been made known, have be- come general news of immediate importance. The Herald Tribune recognizes that the treasury ruling has become ineffective. It therefore prints today the figures made public by the collectors of internal revenue without vouching for their accu- racy."
 Meanwhile the financial district continues to be deeply stirred. Bank CTS and corporation heads expressed resentment of the publicity declar- ing that business secrets were be- ing divnlged to their rivals.
 Despite confusion as to the right of the newspapers to publish tax as sessnents, additional returns were fnrrisbcd rppnrtore ,,neto-Jo,,

TAX LISTS ARE GUARDED
Special Police Watching Books Tn Lower Manhattan - New York
 Newspapers Continue Printing Names and Amounts Paid in Taxes

Washington, Oct. 25.-Newspapers can expect no guiding suggestion from the government within 4S hours to aid them in determining whether they can publish facts re- lating to income tax payments with out violation of law. The depart ment of justice will be unable to an- nounce it's conclusion before Mon day and Commissioner Blair of in- ternal revenue announced today that he would have nothing more to say.
 Give No Opinion
 The department of justice will reach no final conclusion on the meaning of the law in advance of Attorney General Stones return Monday. Officials at the treasury insisted they "were out of it," and if there were differences of con- struction of the law, it would be question for the courts to decide.
 Meantime the flood of protests from newspaper publishers and ap- peals for something definite contin- ued with no indication of abatement. None of them elicited responses of a character that would help to clear up the tangle.
 "The bureau of internal revenue explicitly stated its position in tele- grams to collectors" said MT. Blair. They were advised that provision of the revised statutes makes 1t un- lawful to publish any income tax re- turn. If this law has been violated, it is up to the department of justice to act"

What They Want.

"Oh, heavens, 1 forget Alice! !

earth gave it to me, anyway? l can't

Christmas comes but once a year,
and when it comes it brings good
cheer. The secret of successful CIV
ing is not to give what you yourself
would like to have or what you think
the person ought to have, but what
you think they want.
VIII she like it? Does it suit her?
Is it discriminating gift? These are
three Christmas present questions to
ask yourself before you lay down
your money and say to the sales
woman, "I'll take it"
At Christmas time it is the thought
fulness that goes into the gift more
than the actual money value that de-
termines its welcome. The surest
way to be sure that your present viii

fills some definite wish that you have
heard your friend express. Or

friends room, the bare spot on the

NV Neighbor Says:

The sticking of food to an
aluminium frying pan is caused
by disregarding the rules gov
erning the use of the pan. They
are as follows: Use d heavy
gauge pan made of good, hard
metal. Place the pan over a
medium fame and allow it to
become hot. When pan is hot
reduce the fame and add fat,
when the method of cooking re-
uuires it, and then the food.
Trouble comes only when the
food and fat are put into the
cold pan and all heated to-
gether.
When buying meats for a
large family it is well to know
that a shoulder of beef is a
good investment, as one can cut
good steak off the shoulder,
corn a piece and make hamburg
steak or stew with the re-
mainder.
Spread a layer of newspapers
on the floor before laying the
rugs and the rugs will wear
longer and appear heavier.
The odor of gas around gas
stove when d rubber tube is
used is usually caused by the
tube itself having become satu-
rated with gas. New tubing is
the only remedy.
The safest way tc melt choCo-
late is to put it into small
frying pan or saucepan over
low fire or in the oven. If it is
to be mixed with a liquid, the
best way is to melt it with a
little of that liquid first and
stir to a cream.

What Today Means to You
Sagittarius.
BY MARY BLAKE.

Sagittarius.
Today's planetary aspects are all
of an adverse nature until after mid
night. All propositions of a risky
nature, no matter how inviting or
tempting they may appear, should
be Stunned. and only work of the
customary character along the regu-
lar line of routine duty should be
attempted. The occasion is most in
suspicious for the execution of con-
tracts or agreements, and, if possi-
BILE, no obligations of financial
character should be made. Great
care should be exercised to avoid ac-
cidents, and no risks should be TAX
en-. Today it is emlnently desirable,
both physically and mentally, to
watch your step"
A child born today will be full of
pep, vivacious and unusually healthy.
1t will be frank, outspoken and hon
est. rather pliable, but, on occasion.
very perverse. 1t will be fastidious,
have a penchant for beautiful and
artistic surroundings and devote
much thought to making home"
pleasant and attractive. 1t Will be
very affectionate, quite demonstra-
tive and liable to fall in love at first
sight.
If today is your birthday you are
ambitious and capable, and have al
ready met, or will meet, with rea-
sonable degree of success. You are
thrifty and economical, and make
the most of your possessions. You
are artistic. always appear to good
advantage and give a great deal of
attention to making your home at
tractive. You are loving, kind heart
ed and affable and have hosts of
friends.
Your most wonderful asset is your
engaging personality and your abl-
ity always to say and do the right
thing at the right time. You never,
to turn a merry quip. say an unkind
word that will wound or hurt.
Your ra-conservatism, although
it has probably saved you from many
| losses. has on the other hand, and
at other times, caused your success
to be only reasonable. Another, with
your perspicacity and ability, might
! have capitalized them to the nth de-
gree and become remarkably sue
cessful. "A bird in the hand is worth
two in the BUSH has been your guild
! ing motto, and while the probalili-
! ties are that you will never be poor,
! it s almost a certainty that, by your
| own efforts you Will never be rich.

| day are: Jane c. CroIey ("Jennie

turer: Henry c. Frick, manufacturer:
