Auditorium Filled to Capacity.

The performance of Yankee Doodle
last Friday night presented a new
problem in seating. Nearly 400 people
saw the program while so or more
were turned away because they could
not be accommodated with seats. AS it
was, many stood and others found
themselves in crowded quarters. 1t is
very gratifying to the school to have
such an enthusiastic response to their
efforts along dramatic lines but it is
unfortunate that those who bought
tickets in advance could not be given
a seat when they came. Their money
was returned, it is true, but they were
disappointed and will hesitate before
buying their next ticket.
The school attempts to comply with
the regulations controlling fire haz-
ards and to do so it must have wide
aisles and avoid crowding at exits.
Some solution will be worked out
before the next entertainment pos,
sibly presenting the play for two
nights.
Basketball.
The first basketball practice was
held Monday of this week. There was
turnout of about 35 boys. Prac-
tees will be held Monday, Tuesday,
and Thursdaysof each week. The first
game is with Troy and is scheduled
for December s.
Entertain at Party.
The Junior High Honor society en-
tertained at a party Tuesday eve
ming from $3.50 to o'clock. Each
member invited guest and Miss
Laughlin and Miss Knarr were also
invited. Charles Martin and Dick
Henessey show great possibilities of
being future stars of grand opera.
After everyone enjoyed himself at
lanes a delicious lunch was served.
The results of the money taken
at the Yankee Doodle are as follows:
Total receipts, 37.40, expenditures,
s70.9S; money cleared, $166.42.

S4350 in justice court for violation Of
state game laws, in that he did ship
fur bearing animals without obtain

BILL To REFORM
TAX OFFERED

washington business and profes.
sional men are lining UP behind the
proposed legislation to change the
income tax laws so that earned
income is given the preference and
taxed less than in invested income.
Bankers are behind the move, as
are the doctors, lawyers and the
dentists. A bill to accomplish this
tax reform Is scheduled to be
brought before the next session OF
Congress and the Washingtonians
are lining up with their profes-
sional brothers in all sections of
the country.
DR.. Henry G. Young, past.presi-
dent of the District Dental Society,
approved the proposed legislation
and declared that the subject should
be thoroughly gone into. 1t is
probable that the proposition will
be the subject of a discussion at a
meeting of the society Thursday
night, he said.
Many of the professional men
leave to the leader of their recog-
nized organizations the jobN OF
speaking for them. But they all
feel that something should be
done about It,"

ST. LAWRENCE
CANAL IN PERIL
OVER TARIFF
Canadians Dislike Proposed
High Duties; May Aban-
don Waterway Project.
BY LYLE c. WILSON
United Press stan Correspondent

WASHINGTON, July 5.-Progress
toward a Canadian-American agree
ment on the ST. Lawrence waterway
project temporarily has been inter-
rupted, and perhaps permanently,
by the tariff situation here.
Dislike for the proposed Hawley-
Smoot tariff schedules is increasing
IN Canada, according to reliable in
formation received here.
Insofar as they affect Canada.
some Of the schedules are consid-
cred unfriendly
In a recent report Of the Foreign
Policy Association, the opinion was
expressed that Canada would SUI
fer most from the proposed agri-
cultural schedules.
Canada" the report Cnotinued, "is
our best consumer. In 1927 We ex-
ported more than s945,O00,0O0 worth
Of goods TO Canada while We i'm
ported only 100000 worth Of
Canadian products. In 1928 our eX-
ports 70 Canada we're valued at
s916 100000"
American officials do not Concede
any connection between the St.
Lawrence project and our tariff,
but it is admitted the pair are in
timately linked in Canadian popu-
ia- opinion.
For the time being, the United
Press is informed, Canada is await
ing senate tariff action.
If the senate maintains the sched-
lles in substantially their present
form. authoritative observers be-
lieve the St. Lawrence waterway
project will have to be considered
Indefinitely postponed.

Americas Is Said
Of Reparations Cut

NEW YORK, May 6-tP-Joseph
p. Grace. president Of W.SR. Grace
and company, steamship operators,
describes the rapid growth OF inter-
American trade to the fact that the
United States regards Latin America
as a source of supply and not mere
ly a market.
He just has inaugurated the first
direct passenger service from New
York TO Buenaventura, Colombia,
and Guayaquil, Ecuador, with the
sailing from here Of the motor ship
Santa Inez. A sister ship, the Santa
Rita, will follow shortly.
He expects the new ships, and
others yet unlaunched. will be re-
CURED to take care of the rapidly
expanding commerce.
AS head Of an organization exer-
cising the various functions of ship
ping. banking. manufacturing and
farming. Mr.. Grace has studied at
unusually close range the differ
ences between the human beings
who live north Of the Rio Grande
and those south.
He says that business men from
the United States have shown a new
attitude toward Latin America
which differs radically from the us
ual European viewpoint.

French Feel They
Have Borne Brunt
To Be On Increase

PARIS, May 6.-tF-There was
growing conviction in circles close
to the conference OF experts on
r~eparations today that some sort Of
settlement would be evolved from
negotiations commencing today on
American proposals agreed to by
the German delegation.
The settlement. If it material
lies. will come hard and not with
out considerable persuasion and
perhaps tactful pressure. but the
belief was growing that the plan
tentatively accepted Saturday by
DR.. Hjjjalmar Schacht, German
spokesman. from Owen D. Young
represented the American financial
world.
The request for this concession
has become the object Of increas-
ing attack from those who feel
France has already conceded more
than her share. IL Is pointedly
asked everywhere why the United
States does not do a little reducing
in claims itself.
