Radio Is Running Son

NEW YORK, oct. 18.-Eric H.
Palmer, OF Brooklyn, not too proud
and somewhat worried parent of
Eric. jr., Is. sent a frantic so
to the Federal radio Commission in
Washingtno, D. c.
He asked the commission to sus-
pend his sons license as an anna
teur radio operator. Frankly, to
quote Palmer, Eric. jr., is a nut,
a wireless bug. suffering from radio
phobia. He has changed from a
strong, straight-shouldered lad to
q sunken-chested, weak-eyed youth.
Mrs. Palmer is on the verge of
a nervous breakdown due to worry
over her sons health, yet Eric in.
sists on clinging to his key and
headset at all hours of the night.
He has been dropped from two
high schools because he won't pay
attention to studies. according to
his parents.

MEET To SLASH
TAX RED TAPE

The initial step toward a $780,
100000 tax reduction bill will be
taken Monday when the special
joint finance committee of Congress
will meet to consider revision of
the administrative features of the
law, it was learned today.
The joint committee, composed of
five Senators and five Representa-.
tives, will not touch upon tax rates
but will confine their hearings to
questions affecting the administra.
ton of the tax law, cutting out red
tape.
The House Ways and Means Conn
mittee. however, will convene Octo-
Der 81, to begin consideration of
lower tax rates.
The new tax bill will be limited
to a maximum reduction of $780,
900 900 If Senate leaders have their
way.
This figure probably will be re-
duced, it was said, il the new Con-
gress indicates in it's early days q
disposition toward lavish appropria-
tons for flood relief, farm relief, an
increased Navy, new Army hous-
ing program and a new public build
ings program.
A tentative schedule of reductions,
however, will be featured by a pro-
posal to slash the corporation tax
from 1914 to IL per cent, according
to Senator Reed Smoot R.) of Utah,
chairman of the Senate Finance
Committee.
This reduction, Smoot said, will
relieve the greatest inequality in
the present tax law, as Congress
gave the corporation tax the lightest
reduction recorded in the last tax
bill.
Smoot also came out for repeal of
the wartime excise taxes, that group
popularity called nuisance taxes"
He advocated. in particular, repeal
of the automobile tax.

ribbon save perhaps for an edglng

do not appear on the list of things
made from ribbon, but one woman
at least had shoes of ribbon. Her
evening gown was trimmed with
lengths Of lovely. rather heavy, fig

she had sandal slippers made by her

There are all sorts of trimming

Danny Meadow Mouse had strayed
away from Peter Rabbit and Circus
Mouse. You will remember that
Danny had once been carried away
down South in an airplane and there
had mat many strange people and had
many strange adventures. So by this
time Danny was quite used to excite
ment, At first when he had slipped
under the edge of the animal tent of
the circus which had come to the
Green Meadows for two or three days
he had been badly frightened. But it
doesn't take little people, especially
little people full of curiosity, long to
get used to things. SO by now Danny
was feeling quite bold. lie had be
come used to the strange animal smell
that filled the tent, a smell made up
of the scents of many animals. You
know each animal has it's own pc
culiar scent. SO, while Peter Rabbit
and Circus Mouse were talking, Danny
wandered on by himself.
Presently Danny discovered a very
strange person, a very strange per-
SON. indeed. This strange person was
living down. He had a long neck and
he looked down at Danny with very
mild eyes. He was chewing just as
Danny had seen Bossy the Cow chew
ing while she was lying down. But
it wasn't the strangers face or long
neck that interested Danny: it was
the strangers back. When Peter and
Circus Mouse Joined him Danny was
so excited he could hardly talk. did
you ever see anything so dreadful?''
he whispered.
Peter and Circus Mouse stared, and
Circus Mouse said that he didn't see
anything dreadful.
You don't?" squeaked Danny eX
citedly. ''You don't? Then some
thing is the matter with your eyes.
Don't YOU see that fellows back?
Don't YOU see that it's broken? Some
thing must have fallen right across
il and broken it right in the middle.
If that isn't dreadful. ! don't know
what is. / suppose the poor thing
can't get up"
And lust then the poor thing began
to get up. lie went up and up, while
Danny held his breath and Peter held
his breath. Such long legs neither of
them had ever seen. And when he
was up on his feet they had to tip
their heads back to look up at him.
There" said Danny when he could
get his breath. Don't you see how
his back is broken right in the middle?
] wonder how it happened"
Circus Mouse began to laugh. It
was a squeakv little laugh. He laugh
ed and he laughed and he laughed.
Danny looked at him suspiciously.
What are you laughing att" he de-
manded.
YOU" replied Circus Mouse, and
laughed some more.
