Sunday s Storm.

! One Of the severest wind and rair
storms in many years passed over thi.
section Sunday afternoon last, leav
| ing much human suffering and prop
/ erty destruction in its wake. Its origin
was so sudden that many we're caugh
unawares and no opportunity was Civ
en- to protect themselves or property
from injury.
Mrs. John Sellers, of Port Tobacco,
while attempting TO house her young
chickens, was struck by the falling
limb of tree, crushing one of her
feet, which necessitated her being Ia
ken to Washington hospital and the
same amputated.
A colored toy of the same section
was also badly injured and taken to a
Washington hospital for treatment.
Two children of Road Commissioner
Benz. b. Compton, of Pisgah, are said
to have been injured, but we have been
unable to learn as TO what extent.
Several barns in the county were
blown DOWN, one among whic was
that of MIR. William Robbie, of Pomfret,
which contained three year crop OF
tobacco, valued at more than IS, 600.
The rain which followed the wind storm
rendered MIR. Robie's loss almost to-
tai one.
The tobacco barn of Mr.. David
Reeder, at "West Hatton'' was blown
down, and the stables of MIR. Harry
.Cramer, at "Glasva" we're unroofed.
In Waldorf large tree was blown
down in the yard of DR.. Monroe, over
The front porch Of his dwelling, break
ing one window.
Many persons we're caught out in
automobiles aud their cars badly
damaged, Telephone poles and wires
came in for their share of damage and
many lines in the county we're put out
of commission.
Considerable damage was done to
Marshall Hall summer resort and the
surrounding country.
: In Prince Georges county the storm
is said to have been even worse than
here, many buildings being destroyed
and other damage following in its
wake. The Episcopal Church at Chel-
tenham was torn from its foundation
while. the congregation was worshiping
inside.
Passenger trains on the Pope's Greek
branch of the Pennsylvania Railroad
were delayed for several hours, owing
to trees and other debris being blown
across the track.

ter in-law, a writer of hair-raiSing
thrillers, comes up from Greenwich
Village, bent on solving the mystery
for herself, and she greatly resents
the entrance of the family lawyer into
the case.
AS the lawyer and novelist each sue
coed or fail in following the clues they
have picked up, the audience gradual
ly begins to solve the mystery Itself
that's what makes the picture so full
of real entertainment.
Ferrar, the renowned piano accor-
dionist who has just completed a tour
of the Keith play houses, where he was
we'll received by both press and public,
will render selections accompanied by
the Century Symphony Orchestra, un-

No Reductions In Income
Tax on Corporations

There appears to be a misunder-
standing as to the amount of tax i'm
posed on corporations by the Revenue
Act OF 1924.
Under the provisions of Section 23O
of the Act the income tax on corpora
tions is 124 per cent, which is the same
rate OF tax applicable for the taxable
year 1923.
Therefore, corporations are not per-
mitted to take as a credit any reduc-
tion in tax for the payment due June
18th, or any subsequent installment
! date.
The credit OF 25 per cent is limited to
individuals, and fiduciaries who are
required to file returns on Forms l04C
or l040-A.
