DE PAOLO, AUTO
 RACING DRIVER, WRITES MEMOIRS

Washington, D. c. - Pete De- Paolo, famous veteran of the speedways, has returned to the Roaring Road" from temporary retirement in the hope of winning sufficient prize money to finance publication of the dramatic story of his life which he plans to release in book form.
 This was revealed here by Ted Allen, secretary of the Contest Board of the American Automobile Association - governing body or the speed sport.
 Before sailing for Tripon recent ly where he and Lou Moore will represent the United States in the Grand Italian Sweepstakes May 6, DePaolo showed his book manu- script to Allen and revealed the .'inside story" of his return to com- petition and the famous 500 mile Grand Prix on the historic Indian apolis Speedway May 30.
 "It's going to be 8 big year .n automobile racing" DePaolo was quoted by Allen as saying, "and l know of no better time to get in there and win the necessary money to finance publication of my book. in which I take exceptional pride |-because I wrote it all myself"
 Best Money Winner
 If past records may be taken as a barometer, De Paolo should have his thrilling autobiography on the stands at the close of 1884 season, for he holds the distinction of col lecting the geratest amount of prize money ever won in Q single season by any race driver. That was in 1925 when DePaolo won the Indianapolis Grand Prix, sub- sequently received the National Championship Crown and gath erer some $100,000 in prizes dur ing the season.
 Special Event

Cabaret, Admission Charges Complex To
 Average Customer
Holiday Parties, When You Dine Out, Add New Item to Expense AccOunt-- Internal Revenue Dept Issues
 Ruling on Amount of Tax to Be Collected

Uncle Saill, along with the waiter at your table, will be waiting for his little handout when the time to settle for that Christmas or New Years party arrives in the small hours of the morning of the holiday. Information in regard to cabaret and admission taxes has i, been received by Charles Byrne, head of the local internal revenue branch office on Grand street.
 The tax is computed upon the total payment made for refresh ment, service or merchandise, If such total exceeds $2.50. This is true whether the payment is made on behalf of one person or more than one person.
 On check for $10.35. tax of 32 cents will be added. The tax is l and 1-2 cents for each 10 cents, or fraction thereof of 20 per cent of the total amount paid for re- freshmen, service, or merchandise.
 Don't Blame
 Before starting out on your party read over the following informa- tion, released by the internal reve- nue bureau, and don't blame the waiter for mistakes made in the bill.
 The tax is computed upon the total payment made for refresh ment, service, or merchandise, if such total ecceeds $2.50. This is true whether the payment is made on behalf of one person or more than one person. In cases where
The Waterbury Democrat., 1934-12-20

patrons are presented with checks for food, and charges for drinks are colleced separately, not being shown on the bill for food and other refreshments, tax will attach to the total amount paid for food and drinks served to such patrons during the time they are in the cabaret, if the total, including the amounts paid for food and drinks, exceeds $2.50. If one member of a party pays for an order of drinks separately. the amount is taxable even though paid on behalf of more than one person, and the tax will attach to amounts pair for drinks each time they are served, if the aggregate amount paid dur ing the evening exceeds $2.50, even though the amount paid for a single order does not exceed $2.50."
 This tax should in all instances be collected from 'custimer, since the law specifically states that the tax is to be paid by the person paying for the refreshmen, service or merchandise. There is no au- thority whereby the proprietor of such a place may be given permis- sion to pay this tax himself rather than collect it from the customer.
 MT Byrne has been requested to notify all proprietors of establish ments covered by the regulations of the rules in regard to the tax.

LIFE EXPECTANCY
 SHOWS INCREASE
Chance of Living Ex= tended By Medical Pre-
 ventive Work

With stage officials and those of many cities and towns busy pre- pairing budgets for the coming year Dr. Stanley H. Osborn, state com missioner of health. in the state department of health's weekly broadcast, reminded the public of Connecticut that money spent on public health and preventive med icine has saved thousands of peo- pie in the state from illness and death each year, and that these dividends from the usual modest sums allotted for public health ac- tivity cannot be ocerestimated.
 One of the major dividends of pointed out, has been a gain in life expectancy of eight years during the past 25 years. A child born 25 years ago in 1910, he said could "expect" to live 51 years. but the expectation of life for an infant born this year is 59 years. Not only Is the chance of living extend ed, but, best of all. modern medi- cine and good sanitary procedures have now decreased the chances that a child will suffer from many illnesses which attacked the child born in 1910. The gain in expecta- ton of eight years of life are heal thy years"
 Dr. osborn explained many of the advances made in recent years. Advances in nutrition have shown the value in the diet Of certain vi- tamins and mineral elements. not appreciated before, but now easily supplied in such foods ,ns tomato juice and green and yellow vege- tables. Likewise the value of prOps CT diet for the mother in the pros natal period has been learned.

ley" Robert Hayes, secretary of the local committee today stated. The Panama Canal according to MT. Hayes is one of the many weakly defended strategic points in our national defense system.
 The news article, a United Press dispatch, quoting an America ? newspaper publisher in the Canal Zone, stated: And before it could be possible to act, the whole canal would be out of commission-per- haps for six months. As for the Japanese it should be pointed out that 75 per cent of them in the zone have no visible means of SUD- port. They run barber shops in which they never cut hair,\ shirt shops that never sell a shirtl and restaurants that never serve a meal. Their fishermen-and I can prove this-go out in small boats off the canal and fish with steel lines that have no hooks. h. stead they have lead sinkers, and it is obvious they are taking sound ings."
 Plans were completed at a meeting of the local committee last the city in national defense. An attempt will be made to have Gen. eral Douglas Macarthur, chief of staff of the army, attend the meet ing.
