Poincare's Financial
 Plans COolly Received

Paris. uly 2S. R)-Premier Poin- cares overwhelming political suc- cess achieved through the voting in the chamber of deputies yesterday is received with general relief, but his financial scheme arouses less enthusiasim. His critics among the Communists declare he will get nine billion francs from fresh taxes, but that most of the money will come through indirect taxation at the expense of workingmen while the burden of the big tax payers IS eased through the halving of the rate of the general income tax.
 Economists doubt whether the plan will suffice to stabilize the franc or even really balance the budget, and are inclined to look up on it rather in the light of tenn porary remedy.

Few Gases of Actual Poverty in New Britain Found by Examin-

In their work as school examin- ing physicians, which has taken them to homes in every section of the city, Dr. Vincent J. Smith and Dr. Mildred W. Gardiner have found few cases of actual poverty and no slum section in this city.
 They find that most of the New Britain people have regular means of support due probably to the great amount of manufacturing concerns that are located in New Britain. Some of the worst cases Of poverty in this city would be better than most of the cases in the slums of larger cities, Dr. Gardiner said.
