But despite the honor and glory
of glove battles Fidel still yearns
for the barking signals he knew
when he was captain of the light

There's no game like football,
he declared. "Of course. boxing means

La Barba has found himself quite

HOUSE DUE TO GET
TAX BILL ON DEC. I
Measure Expected to Be
Framed Today-Action
by Christmas Seen.

The House ways and means com
mittee hoped to wind up today Its
six weeks task of framing a new
revenue bill to reduce the Nations
tax burden.
After reaching decision on a few
remaining questions, the committee
planned to adjourn until December z,
giving a subcommittee and drafting
clerks time to put the nnlShlnS
touches on the measure, which Will
he brought up then for final ap-
proval.
Carrying through this program,
Chairman Green announced yesterday
he would present the non-partlSan
bill, providing more than $500 100000
in tax reduction annually and includ-
ing relief to virtually every Federal
taxpayer. to the House on the opening
day of the session. December I.
Mr.. Green plans to bring the bill
up for consideration the following
day, if the House has organized, and
keep it before the House until final
disposition, which he expects before
the end of the second week of the SeS-
sion. This program bears the indorse-
ment also of Representative Garner
of Texas, ranking Democrat on the
committee. as we'll as other leaders
of both parties. q
If the House achieves this speed in
acting on the bill, the Senate will
have the revenue measure before the
Christmas recess, thus allowing two
months for its consideration there for
the working out of differences be
tween the Senate and House before
March /. by which time leaders hope
it will be enacted into law. This
would permit income taxpayers to
enjoy the proposed cut in these taxes
when first payments of the new year
are made, March Is.

1T is hard to imagine that the

The first appearance Of the POGO

a large crowd of people to town on
Thursday evening last. The boys and
girls, led by Prof. M. Szeyller, took
their places in front of the Citizens

liantly lighted by extra lamps. With
the band in chairs on the pavement
and grouped on the steps of the hand
some front, the appearance was spec
tally attractive.
Since the last time the public has
had an opportunity to judge Of the
merits of the school musicians, the
progress along the line of execution
shows very plainly. The performers
are getting better and better every
day.
These weekly concerts bid fair to
become very popular, No one expects
perfection out of these young people.
and everyone is ready to encourage
by presence and applause the worthy
effort of the juvenile band.
