Paul Reuere Rides Again! Or Is Paul Being Taken for a Ride by Bob Ripley?-John Barr, Local Historian, Takes Ex- ception to Recent Story Questioning True of
 Famous Ride.
Famous Ride

Believe it or not-Ripley can be wrong, too.
 So says John Barr, local histor- ian and writer, who has special ized in American history. MT. Barr says that Ripley was in error a few nights ago when he claimed in his syndicated cartoon that Paul Revere did not make his famous ride.
 Ripley claimed that the ride was actually made by a compan- ion, that Revere was captured.
 MT. Barr says that contempor- ary newspaper accounts show that Paul did make his famous ride and that Ripley is wrong in seek ing to take Paul for a ride"
 Says MT. Barr:
 Of course there is no excuse for any controversy about the life and character and patriotic services of Paul Revere.
 The record is so complete and is so interwoven into the whole glorious story of the American Revolution that every schoolboy and girl knows and loves it.
 But If we were looking for con- troversy,' timely one might be Is Ripley as well-informed as he pretends to be?'
 Naturally the patriotic small boy would settle it to his own satisfaction with the terse com- ment-"O, Rips nuts"
 Paul Revere's name was household word in the homes of all patriot Americans for years before the outbreak of the Rev. olution. He was known as Bold Revere'-associate of Dr. Joseph Warren, Samuel Adams and John Hancock in leading the patriot cause in Massachusetts; and it was pretty well known that when a particularly dangerous thing had to be done for the great

 Today we have pictures of girl and boy. The girl, three years old and awfully sweet, is Claire Archambault, daughter of MT and Mrs. Arnold Archambault, of 92 Temple street.
 "Cest pas la peine, mon brave" remarked Claire when asked what her plans are for the CONTEST. "Je sais bien que je peux gagnier sans trop de trouble. In words of one syllable, 1t looks like an easy victory for me in this so simple con- test. Me, can beat the girls for popularity and as for the boys poof! They come, they look, they fall.

 Some bambino, is this young Jo- seph with the big smile and the wide-open eyes, Cameras are noth- ing in his young life which may mean that sometime he'll be out there batting under the movie cam eras, or on the ball field, while the rapid-action lenses catch him slid ing home after circuit clout.
 His is the first picture of the Naugatuck entries, if memory serves.

 the question of the many child play CTS whose names once twinkled as brightly as his. Where are they now? The answers are varied.
 More than score of children hao their brief, bright careers before the cameras; some grew to live normal ly, with no more glamour than other citizens. Many, however, still are trying to act on the sound stages making ends meet. None earned any such tremendous sums as Jackie most of them are having trouble few saved what they did make.

 Paul Kelly, "The Vitagraph Kid, suffered more than any of his con- temporarieS. He hardly reached manhood before he was sentenced to San Quentin prison for man. slaughter. Now he has small parts irl occasional movies.
 Jack Pickford, Mary's brother, is dead. Baby Marie Osborne and Baby Peggy Montgomery, two of the first infants ever to have screen parts now are extras.

 Virginia Lee Corbin, who once was nearly as well known as Shirley Temple, is married and living hap oily in Chicago. Harold Goodwin and Ben Alexander, waifs in many a film, still are actors.

 The Midnight Ride so thrill ingly told by Longfellow, was only an incident in the crowded years of his heroic services for the cause of Liberty. He had ridden horseback thousands of miles throughout the colonies bearing confidential messages only to be delivered by word of mouth under oath of secrecy.

levy, believed that the new bill would aid the recovery drive.
 Roosevelt Has Won
 Administration leaders claimed that President Roosevelt had won his fight for retention of the pro- fits tax, although Senate conferees obtained a reduction in the rates set by the House and limited oper- ation of the controversial provision to two years. MT. Roosevelt parti- cipated directly in the fight on the profits levy through a letter to Doughton and Harrison, condemn- ing the proposed Senate changes as Striking at the fundamental prin- cipleS of taxation"
 The compromise establishes the minimum rate for corporations earning more than $25, 5,O00 at l6 1-2 per cent and the maximum at 19. The House bill set the rates at l6 and 20.
 Sens. Walter F. George D. Ga, and David I. Walsh, D. Mass, said that the limitation of time would permit the country to pass upon this question in the next election of members of Congress"
 Capital Gains
 Under the compromise capital gains from property held more than 18 months will be subject to a flat 20 per cent rate, and gains from property held more than "A months. 15 per cent rate.
 Capital gains obtained from speculation" on property held less than 18 months, a practice which President Roosevelt believed should be removed from the benefits of g. flat rate, would be added to the or dinary income for taxation at reg ular rates.
 An important feature of the mod- flied undistributed profits tax, &C., cording to the conferees, were cushions" provided for financially depressed corporations. They would be allowed to deduct from taxable income the amount set aside for retirement of debts contracted prior to Jan. 1, 1888. Corporations hav- ing deficits would be exempt until the loss is made up.
