Temperance Workers
Point to America

Hull, Eng. =. Prohibition in
the United States has proved to be the
handmaiden of thrift, home building,
happiness and prosperity, and it
would go a long way in England to-
ward solving the problem of unem-
ployment, said Gerald France, the
president, addressing the National and
Commercial Temperance Union here at
its annual conference.
Mr.. France said he rejoiced in the
sinking of the vessels flying the Jol-
ly Roger of the bootlegging fratern-
ity,' and he hoped those men who fin
anced this traffic would lose every
penny they possessed, rather than
that "the fair name of Britain should
be dragged into the mud of interna-
tional treachery."

FRIGHT STOPPED
WITH AUDIENCE
Stage Fright Before Mike
Eliminated by Wax
Audience.
THEATRE ENDS FRIGHT

New York. N. J.-Broadcasting ar
lists soon will stand before the micro
phone in 9 by II room and see an
audience of 1000 persons while talking
to ten million.
And they won't have to wait the
unmeasured time until radio scientists
have perfected television, either.
Broadcasting station WoR, here,
is preparing just such an arrange
ment for its artists = maniature
theater to make the entertainers feel
at home while they're broadcasting.
The idea is that of Hollywood"
McCosker, famous announcer and
one of the program directors of
WOR. 1t sprang from observation
of newcomers in the radio field who
experienced mike fright" at their
first broadcaSting attempts.
mike fright" is the terror that
strikes a new entertainer when he
first addresses lifeless apparatus,
in a soft, silent room, with the
knowledge that he is actually talking
to unseen millions Millions of pairs
of critical eyes seem to pierce him.
He is being watched by a vast audi
ence that he cannot see.
Like Real Stuff.
McCorker has decided to make the
broadcaster feel easy before the
microphone. He has designed a
miniature theater to be installed in
the studio of WOR.
1t will be a complete reproduction
of a theater interior, from the drops
a:ld lights on the stage even to the
exit lights in the rear of the hall.
There will be wax dolls for an audi
ence, real lights to lend the realistic
touch, curtains, loges, even exits and
entrances.
The only thing that won't be pro-
vided will be the applause. But as
one Broadway actor suggests, with
some of the hardboiled audiences you
get wished on you now, you can't
expect much applause even if you
are good"
In front of this packed house"
will be the microphone, which alone
will be of actual size: But to give
the entertainer the feeling of talk
ing to real people, a large magnify
ing glass will be placed in front of
the miniature theater.
Curtain and Lights.
When the performer steps in front
of the microphone, with this arrange
ment, an attendant will draw aside
the curtains and the actor will see
before him the wax figures magni-
fed into life-size audience.
The light will be lowered, throw
ing dull glow over the filled boxes
and orchestra rows and setting
shadows over the balconies. An inch
of velvet hung over a door will look
like trailing tapestries. The exit
lights will send reassuring glimmer
from the rear doors and the broad
caster will be ready to begin.
That empty feeling of being sus-
pended in mid-air will disappear. In
stead entertainers will appear, per-
haps for the first time, before a
quiet, attentive audience.

FORTUNE AWAITS
KENOSHA WOMAN
Search Here for Florence
hammers, Heir to Es-
tate in Illinois.
WAS ADOPTED CHILD

At Lyons, Illinois, fortune is
awaiting a young woman who has
been a resident of Kenosha and who
may now be living in this city.
The young woman as child was
known as Florence hammers, but in
1901 was adopted by a Mrs. Wegner,
who gave her address as in care of
Mrs. Herman of Kenosha. 1t is known
that the child, now a young woman,
lived here for some time but search
has failed to reveal whether or not
she is still resident of Kenosha.
The news that fortune was await
ing the woman came in a letter to
Postmaster Charles L. Holderness
from Herbert s. Scharenberg, cashier
of the Lyons State bank, Of Lyons,
Illinois, asking for aid in locating the
woman.
Details Not Made Public.
The details of the legacy are not
made public in the letter. There in
Guided in the letter, however, two
other letters addressed to the parties
interested, which are to be delivered
to them in the event that they are
found in Kenoska.
Postmaster Holderness has made a
thorough search of the county court
records here and has failed to find
any trace of the adoption of a Flor
ence hammers by Kenosha family.
It is possible that the legal adoption
was filed in another county and that
the family came here to live after
that time.
1t is hoped that this article may be
read by someone who may be able to
help in locating either the young wo-
man who is heir to- the fortune or her
foster mother. Postmaster Holder
hess will be glad->to receive and for
ward any information which may be
secured regarding them.

BLAINE VETOES
BANK TAX BILL
Says Banks Should Have
Income Tax Added to
Present Stock Tax.
ASSAILS FEDERAL LAW

Madison, Wis. !. Claiming
enactment of a bill to repeal the tax
on capital stock of banks would in eff
feet amount to an 80 percent slash in
bank taxes, shifting an additional
S1,620,000 tax load onto farmers, mer-
chants, and manufacturers, Governor
John J. Blaine today vetoed the bank
tax repeater, recently upheld by de-
cision of the supreme court.
The bill which passed both houses
of the legislature by two-thirds ma
jority would assess banks on an in
come basis.
"The effect of this bill is to reduce
taxes on banks from two million dol
lars annually to $380,000, or total re-
duction of $1,620,000," the executives
message states. g. can see no
justification, no reason, for relieving
the most favored business in the state
of so percent of its taxes, and in the
same breath shifting that burden to
the farms, mercantile, manufacturing
and other businesses"
Serious defects in drafting the bank
tax bill are pointed out in the Gov
errors veto.
"This proposed act permits all banks
to escape an entire tax for the cur
rent year." the executive message con-
tinues. at repeats the present law
for the taxation of banks, and our
courts have held that an act of this
kind imposing new and different tax
is not retroactive, and therefore, for
the current year, there can be no as
sessment of taxes of any kind against
banks"
Complains of Interference.
The executive calls attention to the
fact that mo thought would have been
given to revision of the banking taxa
tion laws had it not been that the
federal government has undertaken to
interfere with the states in the taxa
tion of banks"
while it is not pertinent to my OBJ
iections to this BILL" Blaine sets
forth, 81 point out now that the fed
eral law ought to be repealed, as the
federal government should keep its
hands off Of the states on questions
of local taxation"
Holding the tax on capital stock of
banks is fair and equitable, the gov
ernor asserts:
Blaine Would Increase Tax.
off banking, mercantile and manu-
featuring establishments were placed
on an absolute equality, upon pari-
ty, not only should the present bank
taxation law remain as it is, but there
should be added thereto an income
tax upon the income of banks. 4 am
not contending that the law should be
so amended :"
Governor Blaine, recalling reports
current while the Hartford bank case
was pending in the supreme court
states 'there have been yelled threats
that state banks will nationalize I'M
less this bill becomes law"
II do not take such threats serious
ly," he declares. eff it were generally
carried out, then it is reasonable to
assume that future legislatures would
pass laws. to effectively meet such a
situation. States have had to face
similar situations in the past, and they
have full power to meet such situa-
tions in the future"
