OLD AGE WELFARE
LEADERS PASS ON
100 APPLICATIONS
[ConfiHucd from First Pagc]

proved entirely worthy from the
record offered. She had, like other
cases acted upon, been receiving
pension from A. I. du Pont. AS stated
some time ago, it is the purpose of
the State Commission to take over
Mr.. du Points list complete, but each
individual case will be passed upon
only after careful investigation
has been made, based upon the act
defining the powers and duties of
the commission, and the limitations
and restrictions under which State
aid may be allowed.
From the first 100 or more appli-
cations passed upon by the commits
sion, it developed that in a number
of cases the investigators reported
children or other relatives who
might contribute support to the ap-
plicant, and in such cases under the
State law unless it can be shown
that relatives are unable to give
such support, the claim would neces-
sarily be denied or disapproved. In
other words the limitations defined
in the State law may result in GER
tain applications being denied,
whereas they might have been en-
tirely in order under the plan in eff
feet heretofor. The commission as
certained this early in its investiga-
tiOns Thursday, and a number of ap-
plicatiOns were laid aside for a fur
ther investigation. All of these will
be finally acted upon later.
Section of the act creating the
commission states that IAN old age
person, within the meaning and for
the purposes Of this act, and under
its limitations and restrictions. is
hereby defined to be a person, man
or woman, 65 years of age, or over,
who has been a resident of the Unit
ed States for Is years and who has
resided in the State of Delaware not
less than five years Temporary alb
sence from the State not being con-
sidered) who has no child or any
other person capable and response
BILE for the support of such old age
person, without undue sacrifice on
the part of such child or other per-
son, or his or her wife or husband,
or his or her children, &C, &C.
One of the commissioners stated
that from formal examination of
the first hundred or more applica-
tiOns, the members were inclined to
the opinion that this section of the |
bill might prevent a favorable ac-
tion on some cases where pensions
had been allowed heretofore. What |
the sum total of such cases will
amount to remains to he seen. and |
can only be determined after the
commission has acted upon all ap-
plicatiOns in hand.
There seems to he an impress
siOn," said the commissioner. that
because the pension allowance
comes from the State treasury. the
obligations of children or relatives
are relieved to some extent. This,
however, is not the case, as any one
can see who reads Section six of
the State law. State can only be
granted under the law in cases
where the applicant has no child or
other relative capable and respon-
sible for the support of such old age
person, without undue sacrifice.

CITES "FRAILTIES"
OF INCOME TAX PLAN
Connecticut Tax Commissioner
Blames System for Impaired
Condition of Treasury.

The "frailties" of the net income tax
are largely responsible for the present
impaired condition CT the Federal
Treasury" in the opinion of William
H. Blodgett, Connecticut tax commits
Sioner.
In a radio address yesterday Blod-
gett estimated the tax would furnish
S1,250,000,0 900 less this year than was
obtained in the year which ended June
30 1881. and declared that more than
$50, ,000,0 100000 Of taX-eXempt securities
are outstanding.
Blodgett enumerated the following
shortcomings he credited to the net
income tax as a main source of revenue
in the United States
Lack of dependability; too wide
fuctuation in the returns from levieS
upon such income through periods CT
prosperity and depression; lack of
universally of application and defeat
to a considerable extent "by our own
inventions" of efforts to apply this form
CT taxation.
He said that through investments in
taX-eXempt securities taxpayers escape
annual payments on income received
from such investments by them I'VE
have perverted the theory of the income
tax in such manner as to gain the sup
port for it of all Of our citizens who
fail to distinguish assets from income"

tractive from any angle and may start
at the side front and progress in a
gently rising line around the head to
the other side.
The new windblown bob shows fringe
on one side of the head with the rest
of the hair softly waved backward and
downward.
While it is expected there will be
more bobbed heads than ever before
three new fashions have been created
for long hair. Long hair must be thin
ned out and formed into q low knot
that does not conceal the shape Of the
head; or divided into two parts which
may be folded into fiat little buns. The
coronet style is suggested for very long
hair.
Many hairdressers say the long bob
will be best, because it lends itself more
particularly to individual treatment
and is in keeping with the current ap-
parel mode. Flat little plastic curls at
the back of the head, and little rolls at
the side, as we'll as at the back Of the
neck, are emphasized.
Combs, pins and ornaments will COM

NEW YORK, December 29-Bringing
fares down so more planes can go up
was the program to which two trans
continental air lines tuned their 1882
motors today.
United Air lines, kingpin of the So
called united group a far-fiung
enterprise backed substantially by Ma
tional City Bank interests, started the
ball rolling by announcing reductions
of 10 to 20 per cent on practically all
its coaSt-to-coast and connecting routes,
making the fares approximate railroad
plus Pullman.
Today Transcontinental-W Western Air,
linked with the Pennsylvania railroad
and members of the So-called Keys
group" of which c. M. Keys is leader,
had come right back with drastic
slashes of 10 to 26 per cent. The new
rates Topped $40 off prices to the West
Coast and $40 TO Chicago.
Unoficially it was learned American

Atlanta, whence passengers are brought
to New York on another line.
Behind the scenes of the competition
for passenger business is q struggle for
airniail, which bulks large in the new
and fast growing industry. On the
same day as United's announcement was
made. there came news that T. w. A.
would speed air mail in nearly straight
line from Los Angeles to New York
in "a hours with saving of 10 per
cent to the Post Offlce Department.
The reduced passenger fares, almost
certain to lead to heavier air travel,
are expected to benefit plane and engine
manufacturers as well as the .airllnes
themselves.

Mr. MacKeen's enterprise in

showed in finally obtaining the
rights for Let Us Be Gay" despite
the reluctance of its New York
owners to release it.
This play was extremely popular
on Broadway and was displayed
here in the early spring as a mo-

the touring company never reached
