AS another alternative source. suf-
ficient consideration has not been given
to unoficial suggestions for . tax on
tea and coffee. Based upon the 1880
statistics, q tax Of cents per pound
on coffee would yield $75,000.0 600,
equivalent to about IS cents per capita
per annum. A tax Of 10 cents per
pound on tea wo9ld yield over So
000, 600, which would be equivalent to
less than 4 cents per capita per annum
Sugar and salt also AFFORD admirable
bases for the impost Of . universal
emergency tax. A tax on sugar Of l
cent per pound, based upon the con-
sumption statistics for 1929. would
yield over $12o,00o,00 per annum. A
2-cent tax would yield approximately
$3.50, 100000
Effect on Sugar.
At the present price of sugar, such
a tax would not result in product
which the consumer would regard as
high. The collection Of such tax
would be enthusiastically simple. be-
cause 1t could be levied at the refinery
where the manufacturing process
ceases: pyramiding probably would be
almost negligible.
If such tax proposal were adopted
Is would be necessary, obviously, to levy
rates on saccharine and
other sugar substitutes. No insuperable
difficulty would be encountered because
of the necessity to have the levy applied
to imported as well as the domestic
products.
On the basis of 1890 consumption
statistics, tax of l cent per pound on
salt would yield $150.000,000 annually.
In view of untapped tax sources, only
a few of which have been indicated, 1t
is fair to conclude that no existing
compels the adoption Of the
Of the House of Representa-
tives to the exclusion Of other revenue
sources which can be demonstrated to
be fairer to the public and more eco
for the Government to ad-
minister.

 Other popular objectives for the excufsionists are Montreal, Wash- ington, and Boston. Every week. end excursion trains on the New Haven railroad pass each other somewhere near New London, one loaded with Bostonians bound for New York, and the other with New Workers bound for Boston.
 Residents of practically every city in the state Of Connecticut have available to them each Sum- day these low-price excursions to New York, with fares for the round trip considerably less than the regular one-way fare. Thus the railroad company makes use of equipment which otherwise would be standing idle on Sundays, cre- ates business which 1t would not otherwise get, makes it possible for persons to travel who could not otherwise afford even a short vacation and creates extra jobs for railroad employees who man the
 So far this year, up to and in- tcluding July 23, 324 such excur- sions have been operated by the New Haven road, 191,64S passen- gers taking advantage of the op- portunity. These trains travelled g total of over 100000 miles, or ar average of BIO miles each pei round trip.
 k In addition to these exception. ally low-priced excursions, the New Haven railroad also has in effec1 other price inducements in an eff. fort to encourage travel by train For instance, there is the weekend ticket for the passenger who starts his trip Friday or Saturday or Sun. day morning up to 12 noon and re. turns Sunday or Monday. For the ,ssenger desiring longer limit for his round trip, there is the summer excursion ticket at a re. duction in fare, to encourage the use of trains in both directions The Sunday excursions, of course represent the lowest cost rail trans portation, the tickets being limited to use only on specified trains whereas the other forms of reduced fare tickets are good on all regu- lar trains. not including the extra fare trains.

Reduced fare excursions consti- tute approximately half million dollar business for the New Haven railroad, an added source of rev. enue built up by the passenger traffic department during the past few years until now the number of excursions approximate about five hundred annually. While conduct ed throughout the year, they reach their peak during the summer months. with S7 being run during the month of July and 75 during August, this year,.
 In arranging for these excur- sions. the railroad officials are taking advantage of the we'll known psychological fact that hu- man beings have desire to go to some place other than home. as is shown by the fact that at the same time that trains are carrying thou sands of passengers out of New York to various New England points, other trains are similarly carrying thousands of passengers

Minerals In Diet
Makeup Shortage
OF Vital Calcium

Leafy vegetables and milk are
not the only foods for supplying
calcium and PHOSPHORUS. Calcium
phosphates (Which are mineral
salts) are excellent providers of
these vital elements, say modern
scientists, since they contain both.
That's welcome news for the
many who don't care for lot of
leafy vegetables as well as those
who won't find it easy to drink a
great deal of milk. A highly rec
commended source of both miner
ais is baking powder made with
calcium phosphate designated as
"all-phosphate" baking powder.
Powder of this type was original
ly invented for the specific pur-
pose of restoring to white flour
the valuable phosphates removed
in the process of boiling and has
been successfully marketed by the
Rumford company for many
years. 1t has been suggested that
some day tables will provide two
salt shakers, one for flavoring
and one for adding the calcium
and phosphates which are so nee
essary to sound teeth, strong
bones, and general good health.
Victor X. La Mar, associate
professor of chemistry at Column
bia university. made the following
statement on this subject, recent
ly quoted by the American Week
ly as follows:
at has been found that the
diet of many Americans is too
low in calcium and phosphorus"
says Dr.. La Mar. "The average
adult should take at least 0.6S
gram of calcium and 1872 grams
Of phosphorus. Growing children
need twice as much calcium to in
sure proper growth and bone de-
velopment, and eXpectant or nurs-
ing mothers need three times as
much.
"An analysis of a number of
typical American meals shows that
in many cases the intake is well
below these requirements, large
" because of unduly large proper
tions of sugar, white flour and
processed corn meal from which
naturally occurring forms of cal
cium and phosphorus have been
removed in manufacture.
Dietary deficiencies in calcium
phosphorus can be met by a
liberal consumption Of milk and
leafy vegetables. 1t is also possible

where none of the original objects
are left, the authorities will not
try to bring in limitations simply
to make it look real.
"When the plans laid out by
the office of national parks and
executed by emergency conserva-
ton labor are in operation" said
Fechner, these great historic
areas will become field laborato-
ries for students Of history in
every school in the land. Millions
whose school days are over or for
whom they ended all too soon will
visit these areas to refresh and
add to their knowledge of the
sacrifices and suffering in which
this great nation was born and
achieved eminence in a little more
than three centuries"

to accomplish the same results
with certain calcium and phos-
phorus salts. Phosphates of cal
cum are well suited to this pur-
pose; they contain both elements
and there is little evidence to
show that the addition of either
alone to the normal diet is unde-
sirable.
1T was formerly held that only
organic compounds are suitable
for food but recent feeding ex-
periments with both animals and
human beings have shown that
certain inorganic calcium and
phosphorus salts can be assimilat-
ed equally as well as organic
forms"

4. Before recommending any
textbook for adoption, the COM
mittee and commission shall give
all publishers the opportunity of
being heard through their regis
tered representatives at regular
ly called meeting.
5. At the discretion of the
committee and the commission, a
hearing may be given to all other
interested parties on the matter
of textbook adoption.
These rules and regulations are
signed by n. w. Walker, chair
man, and Mrs. A. r. Wilson, sec
rotary, for both the committee
and commission.
The final say-so as to new text
boo kadoptions and the awarding
of contracts continues to rest
with the state board of education,
composed of the governor. lieut.
enant governor, secretary of
state, state treasurer. state audi
tor, state superintendent of pub
lie instruction and the attorney
general. 1t is not believed that
this board will agree to any
changes in textbooks or that it
will make any new contracts I'M
less the changes are necessary and
will bring about a real saving to
the school children and parents.
For while many are convinced
that the old elementar-- textbook
commission was virtually dominat-
ed by some of the textbook pub
fishers and that some of the pub
fishers even tried to dominate
the state board of education, the
action taken by the new commits
sion and committee and the make
up of the present state board of
education indicate that the school
book publishing companies are
not going to have things as soft
as they had them in the past.

mission will meet again December
9 and the high school textbook
committee on December 16.
