lean films, DEGREES that liquor must be
played down. No more roistering, roll
licking, drinking scenes; no more
gaudy or alluring indictments to elbow
bending. The order Is the result Of
reports from the censorship boards OF
Eastern States, advising that temper
ance forces are threatening trouble
unless screen drinking Is confined to
basic dramatic utility. Restaurant
and liquor men recently have regis
tered responses TO similar pressure,
particularly in the matter of women
drinking at public bars.
Mr.. Breen is obeyed in Hollywood.
Normally, he Is first assistant to Will
Hayes, president Of Motion Pictures
Producers and Distributors Actually, he
is the in6ustry's dictator of morals, an
SWerable only to the directorate OF tic
Hays organization. He assumed this
Office in July, 1884, through the ac-
tivity Of Martin Quigley, Intermediary
between the industry and the League
Of Decency, which had carried on a
determined drive for a national film
cleanup.
The father Of six children, now in
his middle 40s, Mr.. Breen has deti-
mite ideas of his own Of what Is fit
for the screen. He Is a newspaper
man by profession, naturally gregari-
Gus, and, having knocked about a lot,
IS no kill-loy He was a reporter in
Philadelphia, later on the staff of the
Associated Press in New York and
abroad. He was with Hoover in Bel
GUM and in the last few years has
handled important publicity CAM

When Henry L. Doherty started 70

round billion, he was bearded like the
House OF David Every time he rang
up another million. he would snip a
whisker or two. Now, at 66, he's down
to a neat little PROFESSIONAL goates.
His fortune has grown in inverse ratio
to his whiskers. If he ever becomes
smooth-shaven, he will own the world.
From his sick bed in Philadelphia
the brisk genial head of Cities Service
offers to compromise with S1,250,000

against him. He makes no conces-
sions as 10 Soundness of the claim,
but says the suit isn't good for the
company. The sick bed is in a spe-
cially-built apartment in the Temple
University Hospital, which Mr.. Do
herty had installed, with a sun porch,
when he went there few weeks ago
for treatment for a throat ailment.

O'ConneIl High Man
 Judge o'connell was at the head of the Fusion ticket as a candidate for alderman, running with Leon Lewis, leader in young republican affairs. O'Connell was high man on the ticket, his plurality running about 200 higher than the average for the Fusion ticket.
 The fusion was in part a result of q devision in the democratic ranks in Norwich. The O'Connell faction was defeated in the party struggle last spring, resulting in his displacement on the State Central Committee. He ran last fall as an independent democratic candidate for the state senate and boiled more than 2,500 votes, although the regu- lar democratic candidate, Joseph B. Downes, won.
 In the city election the independ- ent democrats endeavored to main- tain their standing as party and filed a complete ticket for that party, identical with the republican, fusion slate, but this was denied 8 place on the voting machines by the secretary of the state on advice of the attorney general.
 Local Issues
 The campaign was fought on lo- issues, with O'Connell carrying the brunt of the attack. The fusion candidates promised to "try to straighten out the affairs of the city," and claimed that their elec- ton would mean greater prosperity for the community through efforts to attract new industries and to halt the exodus of manufactures from the municipality. Throughout the campaign he also attacked the reg ular democrats.
 The complete fusion ticket elected Monday is as follows: Aldermen. Anthony w. O'ConneN, Leon P. Lewis; Councilmen Earle White head, Stella G. Backrotz, James J. Macalone, John A. Lenkiewicz; city treasurer, Alexander Jordan; city clerk, Robert c. Woddmansee; tax collector, Harold T. Robinson; city sheriffs, v. Roath Allen, Leslie P. Miller; water commissioner, Carl Johnson.

Figures in the Collectors office showed that 2l900 employers filed Treasury form SS1 in behalf of themselves and their employees, pay- ing $1,14e,2S1.42 in taxes on the wages earned in this district during the month of May. This tax is levied under Title VIII of the Social Se- curity Act, which imposes an income tax of one per cent on the wages of "every taxable individual" and on "every taxable employer" an excise tax of one per cent on the wages he pays each of his employees.
 Ignoring Law
 In estimating that an additional 14,0O0 employers were still ignoring the fact that they must pay the one per cent wage tax due from every employer and employe, Col lector Smith pointed out that the law makes the employer alone sub- feet to penalties for failure to file returns and make payments. The employer is also responsible for the collection of his employees share oi the tax, deducting 1t from the week. ly wages paid.
 Employers of eight or more whc have not yet filed Treasury form $40 and paid the excise tax of one per cent on their 1886 pay roll, as called for under Title TX of the So- cial Security Act, have already in- cured a 10 per cent penalty" MT Smith said. There is no excuse TOT continued delinquency under Title TX. Ample notice was given employ CTS of eight or more that this tax was due from them, and them alone at the latest, last April l. The em- ploye does not pay any Of this tax. Will Collect
 "Only 4600 employers have paid taxes under the provisions Of Title TX and I estimate that this falls short by at least 25 per cent of the actual number of employers of eight or more persons in this district. When my deputies, in the course of their investigations, discover these delinquents not only the tax but the penalties will be assessed against them. It would be well for this type of employer. to remember that officers of corporations are counted as employees for the pur- pose of taxation"
