To RE:WED
Pair, Single for Passport
Purposes, Run Into
Difficulties.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass, April .. -
Elizabeth Arnold, 80, and James W.
Swindells, 20, were married in Eng
land more than two years ago.
When they tried to do it all over
again here they got themselves into
a ring Of complexities.
In applying for n marriage license
the couple claimed TO be single
City Clerk Burke began his custom
airy checking up and discovered in
the Cambridge city directory a Mr..
and Mrs. james W. Swindells."
When the clerk questioned the
couple, the woman told the follow
ing story:
Jim and met in our town in
married in the harvest time, and
| had been trying for two years to
come to the States.
81 got my passport TO sail five
days before my wedding. / had
been twice disappointed in the emf
grant quotas, so what was | to do?
If | changed my passport TO my
new name it would have taken more
time and red tape, so l sailed as
Miss Elizabeth Arnold. Jim Joined
me here and, of course, we lived
as man and wife.
"Then we started up for our nat
uralization papers. Our passports
named us as single, so we thought
we'd get "spliced" all over again. -"
Mrs. Swindells shows an English
marriage certificate to prove her
story, but Clerk Burke would not
allow them TO marry again until he
further investigated their story.

co,tMaNnER MorIGG,s VISIT

The visit of National Command CT J. R. McQuigg Of the American Legion to New Britain, to be pres ent at the dedication of the new home of Eddy Glover post. repre- sents the high mark of the Legion in this city. The event means that the local post of the Legion is forging ahead rapidly and now that 1t is occupying the fine club house on Washington street, it can look into the future with conf dence and satisfaction.
 Commander McQuigg is of that type of American who wins his way to the front regardless of his start in life. His history is typical ly American - from farm boy to mayor: and from mayor of a large city to the commander of na- tional organization like the Legion.
 Commander McQuigg gave q message that thrilled the local war veterans; one that instillod into them a renewal of that high pa triotism which has ever actuated them: one that inculcated a re- vival of pride in being identified with the organization he heads.

not inclined to tax church fairs. as was at first believed possible, claim ing that one of the objects of a plan 10 rewrite the license law is to make it definitely certain that such affairs will not be taxed. At present, it is stated. a literal inter- pretation of the law would include the exaction of license fees for such affairs. The committee, fl it desires to avoid such a contingency, is to be commended.
 As this seems to be year when more order is being brought into civic functioning than ever before it might be well 10 tackle the li- cense ordinance promptly and make it definitely declare which amuse- ments are to be taxed and which are to be unmolosted by the tax gathering establishment.
 At the same time, the city will gain few extra dollars which now seem to be slipping from its grasp because of the indefinite nature of the present ordinance.

HOME DISCIPLINE

When Judge filling deplored the lack of home discipline Of a type of youth Of today he uttered q truism that has been in the minds of careful observers for a long time.
 As the judge pointedly declared, when youths are brought before him on charges of borrowing cars without the knowledge Of their owners, and themselves being too young to be licensed drivers, it in dicates that there is a lack of par cntal restraint.
 The lack is clearly evident on all sides. In this city it has been brought to the attention of au- thorities that many boys who hang around street corners rarely go home; and some of them, accord ing to the evidence of their parents given in the past have been away from home days and nights at a time. In few cases if was dis covered that such urchins slept in box cars and other outdoor places rather than go home, if they really have any.
 Such self-cvident lassitude by parents leads to but one result - the police court, the reformatory, the county jail and ultimately the ponitentiary.
 When parents fail to bring up their children properly; when they avoid discipline in the homes; when they let them grow up unat- tended amid the muIHfartous tomutations of modern lifo-under such circumstances they can be charged with helping 10 manufac- turo criminals.
 But let the offspring of such parents once get into serious scrape and be brought before the tolls ot the law. and what then? The usual pleas for "another chmco." the white lie that Billy was always a good boy" the num- b,cI plaint that T did tho best l could with him. but he would never minJ;' and all the other stock phrases of hcartbrokcn parents.

TAXING TOBACCO

State Tax Commissioner William II. Blodgctt has at last taken q good step forward in an attempt 10 get q little more tax money out Of small towns, whose representa- tives control the Legislature, but who havo tax systems that have defed the best efforts of the tax sharks up 10 date.
 The tax commissioners campaign 10 force tobacco growing interests 10 pay what they owe the state will meet with the approval of all citi- zons. Although the tobacco grow ing business has been having a few hard years, that is no reason why the state should forego the exaction of it's due in tax payments; no other business is allowed the privi- lcge of not paying taxes when trade is poor - except it be the trolley companies. which in the past were given such consideration upon the promise they catch up with their tax payments in later years.
 The charge against the tobacco growing companies involved in Blodgett's campaign Is that they have failed to pay their tax leyies, and for no apparent reason other than that it was found convenient. The state cannot do business with out the contribution of taxes from all sources, and what the tobacco growing interests do not pay some- body else will have to provide. The tax field should be one of no fav- ors. The growers should be made 10 pay what they owe, just like the ordinary home owner and poll tax payer
