REFUND ADVISED
 BY PRESIDENT
Would Make Return on Taxes
 Paid in 1926

Washington, Nov. (P - Studies vinced President Coolidge that some relief for individual and corporation tax payers. in tn form of rebates or refunds of 10 to 12 per cent on the 1926 payments may be feasible.
 Although he believe that 1t will session of congress to revise the present revenue laws. he let it be known yesterday that he believes that conditions are developing which would warrant the granting of tenn porary rebates.
 The treasury surplus this year, it was said at the white house, will approximate s250.000,000. and re- fund of 10 or 12 per cent would mean the return of between S200.- 0o0,0 and S250,0o0,000 to the tax payers
 Receipts in excess of the estimates of the treasury would make the re- bate possible but at the treasury the white house announcement was viewed with some surprise, as Secre- tary Mellon and other fiscal officials have declared repeatedly that the present was too early for tax reduc- ton to be considered seriously.
 In June the treasury estimated that the surplus for the fiscal year ending June 30 net would be SlS5.- 900. .o0o. but many signs since have pointed to a larger surplus, and dem ocratic leaders. including Senator Simmons, North Carolina, tax legis- lation spokesman for that party, have demanded an immediate tax reduction running as high as S500,- 100000 in some instances.
 Despite the heavy cut ordered by congress in the individual income taxes last spring, individual return receipts have been higher than had been estimated, but the bulk of the increase over estimates has come from corporation taxes, the levies on which were raised from 121a to 131a

The regular clu' activities will be going on and th public will be given an opportunitI to see what the organization is do ing for the sons of the citys poor CT families.
 The most popular portions of the building are the gymnasium and the game room. In the latter a small bowling alley has been built and another one is under way, ping pong and pool-ette tables have been set up, and there are many games and puzzles which the youngsters may enjoy themselves with. Merton Clark is in charge of the room, which cannot accommo- date the large membership and forces many~-boys to stand around waiting their turns at the games. There is separate pool room. over which Leonard Anderson rules.
 In the gym everything is under the sway of Physical Director Ray hard Anderson. Classes for the vari- ous age groups are in operation, and there arc fast rules that boy must attend a certain number of them to be eligible for the sports which are conducted.

Volley ball and indoor baseball circuits are also or ganized. During the summer the club was entered in the Rotary Boys league and furnished players to other teams in it. The club also provided the caddes at the Shut tie sMeadow Golf club, as many as 90 being at work on some days.

There are various forms of disci- pline, mostly the removal of those privileges dearest to the particular offender, but Mir. Skinner. his as- sistant, Theodore Stalk, and Mr. Anderson have shown the boys that punishment seldom follows the telling of the truth. Formerly when a light was accidentally broken or some similar incident occurred, no one would admit knowledge of it. but now the ones responsible report it immediately and are merely told to be careful in the future.
 A senior club has been formed among the older boys to aid in run ming the club, help at parties. take charge of games, and be of general assistance. Peter Silva is president of this club; Nicholas Gill, vice. president; Henry Kraszewski, secre- tary; and John Kley, treasurer.
