SEA HORSES NOT TERRIBLE;
ARE TINY LITTLE THINGS
Several Are on Exhibition at Aqua
rum in Boston.

rum in Boston.
When you hear any one speak OF
sea horse you naturally think OF some
thing very huge and terrible, some
thing suggestive of hideous dragon.
Should YOU ever be fortunate enough
to visit the aquarium in Boston, Mass,
YOU would have the surprise of your
life when the guide shows you the
sea horses that are exhibited there.
The sea horse is tiny fish. 1t has
queer looking head with a pointed
nose and distorted lump OF body, in
which the whole skeleton is visible. 1t
has a long tail that makes one think
somewhat of a monkey. This strange
looking fish sails through the water
with great dignity and you wonder, on
casually looking at him, just how he
moves about. On close inspection you
will notice that the sea horse has a
fin on its back and two smaller ones
close to its head. These are his pro-
pellers. Now and then the sea horse
will coil his tail about one of the tree
branches that are placed in the glass
tank and there will rest while.
Sea horses are difficult to keep in
captivity because it is not easy to keep
the water in which they are confined
of Just the right temperature, and also
because it is very difficult to get the
proper food for them. They like to
eat a certain kind of tiny bug with a
long Latin name. These insects are
very scarce and the director of the
aquarium has to go to all sorts CT
trouble to procure them.

RECORD IS SET
 BY REPLACEMENTS
ScrubBulS Are Being Driven
 From Connecticut

New Haven, Feb. la.--A new national record has been established in New Haven county by replace ment of so-calIed scrub bulls with 143 of pure bred stock for breed ing purposes in the year ending to- day as part of campaign to im- prove dairy stock, 1t was announced here today by the New Haven county farm bureau. The cam paign is part of a statewide move. ment to drive the scrub bulls out of Connecticut. It is estimated that fully half the scrub bulls in dairy herds in the county have been re- placed during the year. When the campaign began about SO per cent of the bulls were of scrub breed- ing. The campaign will be con- tinued until this class of stock will be completely replaced by thorough bred animals, the bureau states. The campaign has been conducted in various parts of the country for the past 12 years by farm bureau organizations. it is said. The num- Der of scrub animals eliminated in this county. 1t is claimed, is the largest ever reported by any county in the nation.
 Experiments have indicated, &C., cording to the farm bureau that the annual milk production of COWS raised from purebred male stock average at least 1000 pounds more than those of scrub breeding. In this connection 1t is pointed out that whole milk is the only agricul- tural product. except certain grades of tobacco, in which Connecticut more than supplies its own needs. The purpose of the campaign is not to increase gross production of milk the bureau states but to weed out all unproftable COWS and maintain production with fewer animals in the dairy herds.
 New London county, first to un- dertake the campaign in this state broke all records up to that time by replacement of 112 scrub bulls with selected purebreds, the bureau re- ports. To date more than 400 scrub bulls have been replaced by purebreds In Connecticut.

DROP INHERITANCE
 TAX, IS PROPOSAL
Coolidge Discusses Various
 Federal LeVieS

Washington, Feb, 19,-Gradual withdrawal of the federal govern ment from the inheritance tax field and greater economy in tax colec- ton were recommended for public consideration by President Coolidge in an address at the opening session today of the national tax associa- ton's national inheritance and estate tax committee.
 The president condemned the present federal inheritance tax amounting in its highest barcket to forty per cent declaring that in some Instances it, with the state levics, closely approaches, if it is not ac- tualy, confiscation,"
 Compared With Socialism.
 ''It we are to adopt socialism, it should be presented to the people of tins country as socialism, and not under the guise of a law to collect revenue" he said. "The people are quite able to determine for them tFlNGs lllt hfSli dblllly UT d pal llIAlGtl public policy and no not ask to have such policies forced upon them by tndirection."
 Establishment of "economy In in- come of revenue" is an equal neces- sity with economy in outgo of rev. enue, MT. Coolidge said, adding that the first field for the practice of economy in inheritance tax collec- lions lay in state cooperation.
 Competition In States.
 Declaring there is competition between states to reach in inherit ance taxes not only the property of fits own citizens but the property of citizens of other states" the presi- dent. by way of illustration, showed how share of stock upon death of its owner might be made subject to seven separate and distinct inherit ance taxes by the federal and various state governments.
 All this means" he added, mot only an actual amount of tax which may under particular circumstances exceed 100 per cent of the value of the stock, but the expense, delay and inconvenience of getting clearances of the states who claim right to tax khe property is a serious burden to the heir who is to receive the stock. Particularly Is this expense dispro- portionate to a tax paid by small estate which has but a few shares of stock. In many cases the eX- pense alone must exceed the total value of the shares which it is sought to transfer. Looking at it from the standpoint of state revenue, I am told it is probabl that the full cost to executors of ascertaining the tax and obtaining the necessary trans fers is in the aggregate nearly as much as the tax received by the states upon this property and non- resident decedents. Here, indeed, is extravaganza in taxation.
 "A solution of this problem pre- sents the difficulty of obtaining reel, procal action on the part of tho states. I feel however, that in fair. ness to each other and to their tax. payers some way will be found ot obtaining this extravaganza by giving up entirely the collection of taxes upon personal property on non-resi. dent decedents, or by the imposition
