fully the instructions on the col
ored slips. In cases where tax is
RENTED on the basis of the old
tax, without taking advantage of
the decrease, refunds will be
made without any action on the
part of the taxpayer. Returns for
the year 1929 must be made be-
for midnight, of March Is, 1880.
Failure by taxpayers to receive
forms will not relieve them of
their obligations to file returns
and pay the tax on time.
The collector also calls atten-
ton to the fact that in accord
ance with instructions from the
bureau, extensions of time for fill
ing returns will not be granted
except upon the showing of a
good and sufficient cause for the
delay; such as absence from the
state or illness. In recent years,
many requests for such extensions
have been granted upon the state
ment of taxpayers that they were
unable to assemble the required
data, or to secure the services
of a bookkeeper or accountant.
These reasons hereafter will not
suffice. Each request will be de-
cided upon its merits.
All taxpayers are urged to file
their returns early.

to the Justice that he give the

AN EMBARRASSING. MOMENT

AIN
It was while stationed at Out
look that a circumstance came
about that resulted in my most
embarrassing moment. A letter,
written with a delicate hand and
perfumed most pleasantly, advis-
ed me that the sender of the
missive was going to open a re-
sort three miles west Of town.
Her frankness enabled me to de
termine without exercise of any
extraordinary discernment, that
the contemplated project would
be in violation of section 228 OF
the Criminal Code, which forbade
disorderly houses. The communities
ton gave the address to which
/ could send a letter giving the
day and hour upon which | would
see the writer.
| did not answer the note, but
showed it to one who was looked
up to as the leading business man
in Outlook. l shall never forget
his reaction.
'Ha-hah!' he exclaimed. Dots
fine. Dell dem to come on. Oud-
look wants new enterprises. Vel

Not long afterward I received
a call. The woman waited for me
all day, as I had been out since
early morning. She extolled the
advantages Of such an institution.
After hearing her description OF
the sort of place she would run,
one would be inclined to regard
at least one of the Ten Command
ments as superfluous. In those
days | wasn't so confident of my
will-power as ! later became, so
the interview was brief, my in
sistent visitor taking her depart
ure with the declaration that she
would open up regardless Of my
objections. She was o woman OF
her word in that particular in
stance.
Three months later, as l rode
into Outlook, l passed three wag-
on loads of men going out from
town. They were singing and
laughing, enjoying themselves i'm
mensely. Upon reaching the hotel
I made inquiries of the prophet
or, who laughed at my d%enseness.

was still a young constable, and
had little, if any, experience in
such matters. I went to my room
and through the aid of the Man
ual, refreshed my memory as to
the course to follow. Among those
in the wagons l had recognized
several acquaintances, and I reas-
oned that if l waited until morn

upon which l could ask for war

Arrest Two for Part
 In Store Burglaries

Waterbury, Oct. 27-An end to the store burglaries that for weeks have baffled police was predicted yesterday with the capture of two men and the recovery of loot valued at 5000 stolen from nearly dozen stores. One of the men, Joseph D'Amco of this city. was arrested yesterday in New Haven after he had eluded police raiding his homo by jumping down a two-story air shaft, escaping from there to his car.
 In a. confession, police said, D'Amico admitted six of the major breaks which have occurred in this city within the past two months while stolen goods found in his pos session were said to connect him with several other robberies. Police said one other youth was implicated in the burglaries according to |D'Anlico's confession, though he maintained he did not know his name. Michael DAmico, brother of Joseph, was also arrested. He is said to have taken no part in the ac- tual breaks but to have stored goods stolen by the other two.

 Appeal for Unemployed

Boston, Oct 27 (UP)-An appeal for cooperation in the unemploy- ment crisis was in the hands of G. GOO members of the Boston Cham Der of Commerce Saturday.
 Carl P. Dennett, acting president pt the orga anization, called upon members to ''quicken the end of Ihis readjustment period by saving a job for some man and giving new one to a worker who is willing to fill it."
 sDennett referred 10 the situation as "one of the most serious adjust ments of our economic life.'
 There is no doubt" he said that the remodeling, rebuilding and arrangements of plants, factories and shops can be conducted more economically in times Of general depression than during other pc rods. It is poor economy to re- model and reconstruct plants when they are operating at capacity.
 Times of depression, when ma terals are cheap and labor plenti- fui. are undoubtedly most favorable and economical for carrying on this class of work. This has been demon strated repeatedly by far-seeing business executives who have re- built, remodeled and rearranged their plants in periods of depres- sion."
 Dennett said there was no ques' ton that many of the commodities that enter into the construction and repair of buildings and machinery ''are today selling for less than tho cost of production"

It has been unable to find any evidence of corruptness, irregularity or wrong doing in connection with the admin istration Of the interior department of oil shalc lands in the past and there is every evidence under the the present administration of Secre- tary Wilbur, that oil shale lands Of the United States have been fully, fairly. adequately and lawfully pro- tected, conserved and administered"
