ERRATA.
SOMEHOW when we printed that
- item couple of days back about
the policeman who warned motorist
to turn on his lights and was told
it wasn't technical" sunset yet. we
had a feeling there was something
wrong. We couldn't figure out what
me, and besides there S
not much point in trying to figure
it all out when. up until now, there
always has been some one around to
point out our mistakes.
Mr. William Graham has stepped
into the breech to point out this one.
With note advising don't let a
cop kid you," he sends a clipping
showing the sun should have set at
1877 the day the item appeared and
II 1t was supposed to it probably
did. And couple of days earlier,
when the representative Of the law
and the motorist had their meeting,
the sun probably set at 738, which
makes everything all right, because
the motorlst said he wasn't supposed
to turn on his lights until $50, which
would have been a half hour after
sunset when lights must be turned
on. (Just can't keep the Depart
ment of Utter Confusion down.
So the motorist was right and the
policeman was wrong. He was wrong
mostly for telling us something to
the effect that automobile lights are
due on half hour before this tech
nlcal' sunset that started all this.
We thought it should be after" when
we wrote it, but you won't catch us

demand upon them The boys down

necktie or more per capita-all
because California's Representative

ing, is desirous Of making a souvenir
rug from the discarded neckties of
members of Congress and other prom
lnent officials, to be called The Con-
gressmen's Rug
This lady is seeking my assistance
in obtaining the neckties for her
from my colleagues, and If you will
telephone me, I shall be glad to send
for your discarded ties"
We can't help but feel that it's
beautiful opportunity for members of
Congress "and other prominent off,
Gals to turn those Christmas ties
into a profit by donating them to a

OF course, that last remark
loses its effect 1T any when you
remember that guy can't buy

December, because most stores haze
become Wise beyond belief in this

 Fairly Good Chance
 Minton said he believed there was fairly good" chance to attach his proposed amendment to the bill. It has been advocated in somewhat similar form in the. past by several senators, including Sen. George w. Norris, Ind, Neb., who urged that more than two-thirds majority" be required to declare an act of congress unconstitutional. X.
 Minton, who visited the White House yesterday, said that he had not discussed his proposal with the president.
 The two-thirds court provision has been reported to have strong support in the house. Rep. Martin dies. d., Tex, asserted more than majority of the representatives will vote such requirement., prob ably both in legislative form and as proposed constitutional amend ment. !.
 Some other ardent supporters of the presidents original court bill were considering the possibility of offering it as an amendment to the substitute measure, which has been ordered reported by the Juolclary committee. This group, however, has not yet reached any definite decision as to whether the contIo- versy will be renewed in the cloSing days of congress.

 'oThat recommendation was not an unqualified one" Norton said.
 Norton admitted that he wrote. in this letter of recommendation that MT. Elder is a dificult man to work with"
 Elder testified yesterday that Norton's letter pictured him as "unfit for any position of responsi- bility."
 Bank Book of Elder While employed at Franklin County Trust company as supervisor of verification of accounts, Norton said, he verified bank book be- longing to Elder. The book came to the. bank in an envelope bearing El- der,s handwriting, he said.

 Two othe~ rebuttal witnesses were presented oy the state in an attempt 10 blast Elders perfect alibi" for the night of May 25, when Elder al- legedly threatened Norton with a shotgun in his garage here. Mrs. Nettie Burtt, plump, gray haired chambermaid at the Eagle Hotel, Keene, N. H., testified that one of the two pillows on the Elders double bed at the hotel "did mol look as if 1t had been slept on"
 Elder has asserted that he spent the night of May 25 at the Eagle hotel with his wife and hence could not have threatened Norton. The state contends, however, that Elder left the hotel early in the evening drove 30 miles to Greenfield threatened Norton and returned tc his hotel room in time to, answer a 2 a. m. call next morning.
 Testifying as rebuttal witness for the state, Mrs. Burtt said shc went to the Elders room between { and 8:l0 a. m. May 26.
 "The room was very tidy. The blanket and spread were partly turned back" she said. "One pillow was lying down fiat. The other wal standing upright, not perfectly up. right, but you could call it that. Ont pillow was crumpled and the other did not look as if 1t had been slept on."
 Under cross-examination she tes. tifled she did not know before ques- tioning by investigators how many persons were supposed to have oc. cupied the room.
 Did it come to your mind that they might be seeking to learn if the room had been used for improper purposes?" asked Fairhurst.
 T did not give it thought"
 "It was not a quick thought tc protect the hotel that caused you to say that only one person hac slept in the bed?"
 "No sir"

The railway bridge at Faughart on the Dublin Belfast main line also was mined, but pas senger and mail train; were allowed to proceed after 8 three -hour delay. Officials believed the demonstra- tionS had been planned carefully by Free State extremist republicans in an attempt to prevent Free State citizens from participating in the welcome to the king and queen.
 Customs Posts Destroyed
 Both Free State and Northern Ireland customs posts were de- stroyed at Tullydonnel near Cross- maglen, at Killeen on the Louth Armagh border, at Faughart bridge on the Monaghan Armagh border and at Middletown near Ready.
 The customs house at Carrickar- non, seven miles from Newry, was blown up, apparently in an attempt to prevent motorists from driving to Belfast. A large detachment of police was rushed to Newry under orders to remain throughout the day.
 Police scourned the countryside, searching for armed groups which had wrecked customs houses after ordering occupants to flee. Officials believed that the demonstrate had been planned carefully by ex- tremist republicans of the Free State to coincide with the arrival of the royal visitors.
 Five thousand policement pa- troled Belfast streets, and many were stationed on rooftops to pre- vent disorders.
 28 Houses Burned
 A total of 28 customs houses were burned along ie border between Carlingford in the east and Bun doran in the west.
 Revolver shots were exchanged at the border town of Clones 1T. County Monaghan between one a. m. and 2 a. m. when armed rald- CTS were discovered burning customs houses on both sides of the border The raiders escaped by automobile,
 The inhabitants of the vicinity spent. the night in terror, fearing an outbreak of border warfare sim liar to that of 1923.
 Raiders entered house belonging to an H. Maxwell at Killeen, turned his mother, wife and children, all clad in night clothes, into the road, and set the house and an adjacent dance hall on fire.
 Six men with machine guns, rifles and revolvers, entered a GUS toms house at Carrickarson ID Northern Ireland, overpowered the officials and set off a bomb which destroyed all records. Then they proceeded to a nearby Free State customs house at Killeen and set It afire.

 Aside from the $l received by Mrs. Roosevelt to make the con- tract binding, Jackson said, she derived no benefit whatever meas urable in terms of money"
 Jackson asserted that the income tax is primarily based not on what a persons services are worth, but upon the amount that tax payer receives.
 No Work For Money
 Mrs. Roosevelt declined to work for money" he said, "and was only willing to serve for charity'S sake. It was and Is my opinion that such benefit broadcasts do not result in taxable income"
 The internal revenue bureau, he asserted, had never acted on the theory that the value of donated services should be treated as con- structively received income and off, set by donation"
 Jackson referred to various rulings by the bureau in connection with baseball and other. entertainment performances for charity, explain ing that for years such proceeds were treated on the same basis as Mrs. Roosevelt's radio appearances.
 Sought To Stop Abuse
 He emphasized, however, that the bureau had sought to prevent any abuse Of such assignment of income to avoid taxes.
 He warned that charitable en- deayors would be deterried if per- sons who render serices to charity pay tax on them.'
 Jackson concluded his prepared statement by insisting that in view of the practices of the bureau, he had definitely concluded that Mrs Roosevelt was not required to re- port the income which the charity had received by reason of her ef- forts and was not subject to any tax thereon"
