TAX ON RECEIPTS TOTALS
SO CENTS A PERSON HERE
Average of $3.50 Paid Out For
Relief AS Garrett County Out
lay Exceeds Payments

The Maryland one per cent gross
receipt tax cost each resident of Bal
timore City net of nine cents for the
period from April / to December 81,
it was shown by per capita analysis
made by the tax division of the State
Comptroller's office.
During the period, Baltimore, with
a population of 804,874, paid in ST.
739,O28.16, or per capita payment of
$2.16. In the same period $1,663, 980.82
was expended in the city for a per cap
tia of $2.07. The excess per capita pay
ment over receipts is nine cents.
Only three counties of the State
Frederick, Garrett and Somerset-re-
ceived more relief funds per capita
than they paid in. The figures in the
analysis included the gross receipt tax
alone and did not cover payments from
the one per cent automobile titling
tax.
In Garrett county, with a population
of 19,908 based on the 1880 census, the
per capita expenditure from the gross
receipts funds was $3.50, while only 88
cents was paid per capita into the
fund.
Frederick paid $1.48 per capita and
received back $1.52; while Somerset
county paid II cents per capita and
received $1.57.
Carroll and Hartford counties were
at the other extreme. CAROLS per
capita contribution to the fund was
$1.46, while it received IL cents back
per resident. Each resident of Har-
ford paid in $1.27 while the per CAPT
ia expenditure in the county was 8
cents.
Heaviest in Western Maryland
A study of the figures shows that
outside of Baltimore City, Western
Maryland carried the heaviest relief
load during the period.
With Frederick and Garrett receiv-
ing more than they paid in taxes; AL
,legany and Washington counties, al
though Gin the black" barely exceeded
their drafts with their payments. .
Southern Maryland as a whole paid
considerably more in taxes than was
spent for relief in the section. The
lowest margin was in st. Mary's coun-
ty, which paid II cents and received
IS cents back.
Somerset county was the only one
in the Eastern Shore group that was
'in the red," although Wicomico had a
high per capita expenditure, contrib
uting $1.64 per person and receiving
$1.29 back. The other counties on the
Shore made payments far ahead OF
what they received.
Figures For Counties

tia expenditures of gross receipts

 For the past seventy-five years the American Turnerbund has grown to be the most powerful Ger -AmericAn social organization in the country. As German imfii. grafton dwindled, however, the pure" ly German character of its ideals lost their German sponsorship and acquired an American flavor. Nor are the Turner societies today any longer exclusively dern1an-A American in membership. The youth of 2 dozen other nationalitieS have ap- piled and found welcome within their ranks in many communities.
 Perhaps no other organization Of its size in the United States has SC steadfaStly adhered to its original ideals aS the Turnerbund. A recent description of these ideals by the Turner National Executive connSmit- tee is Identical with the ideas first promulgated by Father Jahn."
 "The American Turnerbund," the committee stated, lis c federation of Turner societies in the United States organized to promote physical education and disseminate rational ideas in order to advance the health happiness, prosperity and progress of mankind.
 Tt is the principal duty of oui societies to provide courses in phy' sicaI' training for youths and adults and also to promote their intellec' tuai growth and moral character through special schools, 1nStructivt J lectures and Stimulative debates"

Like old times It almost seemed like old times last Saturday afternoon watch the finals of the city te championship being waged up the Fulton Park ten
 s courts between two fine outstanding opponents of this sport. Waterbury has always had some great battles for the tennis supremacy of the city Go back in your memory and check up of those famous old battles
 that started on the old courts of the M A. when they occupied the spot where the Waterbury Club stands Hamilton Park had many struggle so did the Elks Club on West Main and the old Moran court Cooke street Johnny Derwn used to bring Fred Piansan up from New York to show the natives something new in the way of backhand drive that made exactly the way he delivered his forehand strokes. Henry Ciesewski and John Taa worthy successors to that long line of champions Both played exceptionally fine and steady tennis . This Naugatuck boy is a wizard with the rac- quet If he wasn't the Overlook contender might have beaten him. for he playing o the best games Of his career In his backhand Ciesewsk has ethal weapon that does heavy damage to opponent Save his remark able court coverage and tremendous vitality 1t is his strong est shot in this commentators opinion.

Few social movements among i'm. migrant groups in the United States have had such c beneficial effect on their adherents over 50 long 6 period of time as the Turner move. inent of the German. Americans.
 The recent national convention Of the Turner's in Cleveland proved the organization to be as potent aS ever in holding the devotion of it's f1em- bers. Crowds of 2S,000 attended the Turner athletic and gyrn1aStic con" tests in which members Of Turn vcreiils from Massachusetts to Cali- fornia participated.
 dymnastic exercised were the basis for the TurnVcrein idea which was first advocated in Germany in the early 1S00g by Friedrich Ludwig Jahn, called "Father" Jahn by his followers. Jahn's ideal was the de. veiopment of c German people of the type described by the early Ro. man writers, vigorous of body and independent of mind.
 But like SO many innovatorg, Jahn was regarded with suspicino by Q rcactionary German government and thrown into jail in 1919. His idea spread, however, both in Ger. many and the United States to which Germans ct that time were focking by the thousands. Among his earliest American adherents were many leaders of German American opinion in the United States, among them Carl Beck, Cari Pollen, Franz Lieber, Friedrich Hecker ana Gustav struvc.
 Not until Wilhelm " came to the throne Of Prussia, however, was SuS' picion against Jahn as 2 dangerous radical entirely ailayed. Wilhelm of. ficlally recognized the Turner idea in 1e42 and from then on tt grew by leaps and bounds.
 The first Turner hall in the United States was opened in Cifl- cinnau on New Years Day, ieO0' Within 2 few months Turner Eo' cicticS were begun in . half dozen other cities and before the year had come to 6 close c convention had been called in Philadelphia ct which the Union of Turner Societies oi North America was founded, the parent Of the present American Turnerbund.

 Close observation throughout the summer has convinced me that there has been no harmful effect whatever in allowing our visitors to see the little Dionne girls ct play.
 People passing through the gal- iory are not noticeable to anyone inside the enclosure. Only when they are wearing white clothing caY they be seen ct oil, and then only as on indefinite shadow.

He knows the plot before the story unfolds, Cares not whit when his mother Scolds Respect for elders isn't up his alley He's pretty independent and not at oil pal-y. He tells his parents where they get of, At hint of correction he starts to scof. For other folks property he has no respect 1t seems The damage done doesn't amount to hill of beans. He's always there with lot of wise cracks, Speaks out of turn and every virtue lacks. The old leather strap is never used on him, When given a task to do he looks pretty grim.

 Nobody could fail to be impressed by the orderliness and the friend. ly, good -natured spirit of the crowds which have flocked here during the last summer to see the Dtonne quintupletS.
 We have tried to treat them as guests, and they have certainly act- cd as such. Though the large majority of them are Americans, and hence have come long way to see the famous children, they al. ways prove amazingly patient and sympathetic If for any reason there is delay.
 On days when there was heavy rain and 1t seemed unwiso to let the children play in the outdoor space within the observation gal- lery, the visitors were invariably patient and sympathetic, despite thir disappointment.
 There iS something about these children that brings out the best in the people who come to see them. Though there will have been 460,- 900 visitors by the time cold weather halts the flow of cars, there has been almost no disorder.
 The province has assigned one special policeman to the parking ground and the road leading to the hospital, and he has been able to straighten out all tangleS.

There was some little trouble at first with people knocking on the windows of the observation gallery or blowing auto horns to attract the childrcn'S attention, but Q warning from the policeman on duty was sufficient when backed Up with the threat of stopping the showing of the children.
 Some time ago one man who per- sisted tr1 trying to take pictures, in violation of regulations, was almost mobbed by the others when they found that hc was going to "Stop the show" If he persisted.
