Baron, now 7S. is an inmate of the Galig- mani home for old and penniless aavants at Neuilly. He patented sound film inventions in Europe and the United States many years before they became practical. In recent years Baron, with the aid of his daughter, has worked on a three dimensional film. that shows characters in relief as If they were real people on stage. The Baron process calls for but one film and one camera. Other experimentcrs have worked with two films on the stereoptican idea. Baron claims his invention would necessitate rcla- lively slight changes in present talking picture machinery.

Property owners of Waterbury seeking to have their taxes abated will. henceforth, find the going" quite hard. This view is obtained from the stand taken by the mem- bers of the committee on abate- ments of the board of aldermen late Saturday morning and early Saturday afternoon at a hearing at City Hall at which eS petitioners appeared.
 The members of the committee drowned upon the petitions for complete abatements and made 1t look quite doubtful if even the numerous petitions included. call ing for postponement of collec- tions, would all be handled favor ably.
 Saturdays session lasted late in- to the afternoon and the commit tee reserved decision on all peti- tions. This body will report to the board of aldermen at the regular

meeting on the first Monday of No vember.
 Alderman John Derwin is chair man of the abatements committee. On the committee with him are Alderman Charles Sciullo and Charles Schmidt. Most of the peti- tions heard were for postpone ment of collections but many cal- led for complete abatements.
 In view of the administrators effort to cut down the expenses of the city government and, subse- quently, to reduce the tax rate, the petitions of those seeking either complete abatements or temporary postponements will be gone over closely.
 The abatements committee 1t was said to-day, will give prefer- ence only to those entirely desti- ute, as far as abatements are con cerned, and to those, out of work as far as postponements are con- cerned.

' Washington, oct 23.-UP)-At- torney- General Homer Stille (put an accent on the last syllable) Cummings is the perfect host, ex- cept when he gets his cigars mixed up.
 Then he apologized.
 For nonored male guests the tall, bald attorney general passes around box of two for a quarte" perfectos. For honored feminine guests he has good cigarettes.
 Honored guests include the news writers, who interview him once q week. They make the air blue in his comfortable office. puffing on his fat, goldbanded cigars, while they ask him questions about kid- napers, gold hoarders and bootleg gers.
 M At the last interview the attorney general passed the cigar box as usual. Thirty hands took 30 cigars, put them in 30 mouths and applied 80 matches. Whereupon there were 30 coughs. 30 sputters, 80 Hey, Mir Attorney General, what are you trying to do? Kill us?"
 The attorney general sniffed the air and found it carrying the arc. ma of burnt chicken feathers and smouldering shoe leather. He looked at the cigar box, blushed. and apoiogized:
 I'm sorry. but made an awful mistake. 1 gave you my Job hunt err cigars. Sorry. Awfully sorry"
 The attorney general is the only cabinet member who provides smokes for his regular interview CTS. Secretary of Commerce Dan- iel Calhoun Roper, however, pro- vides modernistic ash trays. They are in a neat line down the neat table in his near conference room.
 Other cabinet members simply let the news men drop the ashes on the rugs.
 N. B.-It has been discovered that cigar ashes are not good for rugs, after all.
 The only other portfolio holder who ever dispenses hospitality is Madame Secretary of Labor Per kins. She keeps ice water on tap. During the hot weather of last summer she passed out foe ginger ale In paper cups. It developed later that the ginger ale was pro- vidcd by a we'll wisher. whc thought that Madame secretary should 20 out of the way to be nice Co the press. N
