MIR. TILLSON ON MIR. HOOVER

Congressman Tilson of Connecti- cut can be credited with a strong de- sire to help his friend, President Hoover, at every opportunity. He recovered from an illness in the White House the other day and such presidential hospitality de- serves repayment in words.
 Scarcely had he recovered from his cold when Mr. Tilson came upon a statement issued by the wicked Democrats 10 the effect that Mfr. Hoover's year in office had not been 100 per cent perfect. That riled Mir. Tilson exceedingly.
 So what does Mr. Tilson do but he issues a counter-report citing the accomplishments of the President.
 Where Mr Tilson made his mis- take, however, Was in pointing out the accom- plishments of Congress
  and crediting them to the Presi- dent.
 For instance; There was tax re- duction, farm relief, the public buildings program. good roads legis- lation, the Federal Radio Commits sion, and the eapportionment measure.
 Congress has had the determining hand in all Of them and Democrats as well as Republicans passed the laws.
 What Mr. Tilson didn't do was 10 knock gallcywest the Democratic claims that Mr. Hoover hasn't been much of a leader; that he hasn't had a great deal of influence in the Senate; that he has failed to make his position known on sundry inn portant issues; that he has beer phlegmatic rather than energetic
 AS a presidential press agent Mir. rilson is not a success,

"REDUCING" TAXES

As We, have. intimated previously, it is nothing new for candidate for office to promise lower taxes. That ha. been done in every election since the time when New Britain was merely a widening in the road,
 Promises are not performances. The average citizen cannot be fool ed by talk about the promised tax rate reductions.
 The average person knows that in order to function properly munich pality must have an income, and all it's income comes from taxes.
 Everyone wants the city to func- tion properly, and the same persons who habitually call for lower levies during election campaigns frequent ly criticize between elections fl perchance the city does not attend to its knitting properly.

ACTRESSES WHEN THEY GROW
 FAT

Rather than have her stage career ruined by growing too fat for the part of a star, Allyn King, former Folies star, jumped from a window and died from her injuries.
 This is a tragedy that emphasizes point about theatrical require ments that largely goes unnoticed.
 Outside of grand opera, where avoirdupois sometimes is an ad- vantage, nobody has anything but sympathy for a fat actress. MT. Ziegfeld, for instance, when he gives them the critical eye chooses those who are just right meaning happy mean between the heavies and the lights. And when an actress al- ready in the spotlight eats too much and grows too much flesh, when ths contract expires there is no renew al.
 Miss King. confronted with such a termination to a fairly brilliant career. had to adopt vigorous method 70 reduce weight; and in deed, she lost 50 pounds within reasona ble time.
 Anyone who has lost that amount of flesh realizes that it is terrible ordeal. Miss King suffered nervous prostration. It looked as if she were done with the stage for good. Her suicide followed.
 It is difficult to find a fat per 1 son who has not attempted to re- duce at come time in his or her i career. There remain a fair percent age of heavy persons, however, and when all is said that can be uttered, they remain a jovial lot 1 Why it IS that a thin person rarely is as care-free as a fat person is difficult 10 understand. Even Mr. | Shakespeare wrote something on that point and made it pointed,

REALTY TROUBLES AND THEIR CAU SE,

It Is no secret that a considerable change has come to the real estate field. One reads snippets in the papers about decreased valuations. Of foreclosures, of empty tenements. of lesser rents. It is rarely that one reads anything tending to gledm from the pages like beacons Of glowing prosperity.
 The situation does not improve greatly if one talks with builders One pessimist told Us the other day that there wasn't d builder in the city who was making money. or who had much left of what he did make in the past few years when the building boom was at it's height.
 One fellow told us in a burst Of candidness, that it is cheaper to buy house already built than 10 have one constructed because the builder cannot sell a completed property for as much as it cost 10 build. This may be somewhat eX- aggerated-we hope it is-but the mere fact that such opinions exist must indicate that all is not perfect in the building trade.
 There was a deal of speculatiol ) in building during the past halt dozen years and it was inevita ble that when readjustment period arrived some of the spectators would find themselves on the wrong side of the ledger. The analogy be- tween building and the stock market is not inappropriate. Boom times, either in building or in stocks, could not last forever.
 But in the real estate field pros- perity of individuals involved in it usually is predicatcd upon th& s market during a term of years, Tha' makes an important difference. A property must bring in a certain minimum Of money for certain length Of time in order to pay of the mortgages, and if there is re
