to the child. She mentioned
she had taken the matter up
with Miss MOrss, Of the Board
Of Public Welfare, but that
Miss MOrss had refused to act
on the ground that the COM
plant was an anonymous one.
Believing that the complaint OF

police department, Private
Helen Gainey got in touch with
Miss MOrSs to make inquiry as
to whether or not she was
going to work on the case.
Miss MOrss advised the wO-

VIRGINIA SCANS
TAX SOURCES

RICHM oND, Va, Nov. IL.
Gov. John Garland Pollard has
located sources Of entirely new
revenue which could yield a lit
tie more than 100000 a year
if the assembly could see fit to
use them.
Facts on possible sources Of
new revenue have been gathered
by the governor in anticipation
of questions as to how the State
may increase it's income If 1t has
to do so in 1932-34.
The governor has refused to
commit himself in approval or
diSapproval of any Of the w.
rious schemes that have been
suggested. He simply has weighed
some of the major proposals to
determine their financial import.
Here are four possible sources
of new State income and the
estimate of the yield from each:
/. Addition Of / cent to the
gasoline tax, 100000.
Q. Sales tax upon cigarettes
and cigars, ETC., $4,000, 1000.
8. Tax on motion picture gross
receipts, 100000.
4. Sales tax on malt extract,
$400, 900.

REPUBLICAN GIVEN
BETTER CHANCE TO
WIN IN FIRST OHIO
HoIIiSter Expected to Defeat
Lorbach 10 Succeed Late
Speaker.
BY G. GOULD LINCOLN
stan Correspondent of The Star.

CINCINNATI, Ohio October 81
With General Depression" riding at
the head of their forces, the Democrats
in the first Ohio district hope to smash
their Republican foes at the polls on
Tuesday. putting David Lorbach in the
seat held for so many years by Nick"
LongSworth, the late Speaker of the
House.
The same economic issues that pre-
vail here. with large unemployment
are working for the Democrats in four
other congressional districts where va
cancies must be filled on election day
But it is here in the first Ohio district
that the Democrats believe they have
the best chance of picking up a Re-
publican House seat and thereby max
ing it impossible for the G. o. P, to
have even a paper majority OF one in
the House during the coming session
of Congress.
There is more even than a paper con-
troll OF the House involved in the cleo
ton of a Representative on Tuesday in
this district. If the Democrats can
win in the old Longworth district,
additionally Republican, 1t bodies i'll for
the Republican success at the polls in
the general election next year. A
Democratic victory in the first district
now would give impetus to the belief

There is a House vacancy to be filled

twentieth, a Cleveland district. which
has been Democratic and which it is
confidently predicted will continue to
be Democratic after this election. The

this district last November. The DEM

as certain that he will win over his Re-
