$3.50 Taxes
Prepaid To
City On 1910

Taxes prepaid 10 the City of Hen
dcrSon for the 1040-4l account have
amounted to $2,780l0 so far, City
Clerk w. G.. Register stated today.
All such payments at this time carry
discount Of two percent, which will
diminish onc-half of one percent per
month from now on.
Most of the payments have been
by corporations or large property
owners. 1t is presumed that in some
cases idle money has been utilized
to make the payments SO as to take
advantage of the discount allowed.
Mr.. Register said there was SO far
no indication as to what the next tax
rate would be. City officials, CT
course. arc hoping to hold the levy
at least to It's present figure. Debt
service obligations for the fiscal year
beginning July | amount to $4,000,
which arc slightly more than for the
current fiscal year which ends June
80.
No work has been done as yet on
the new budget. This will be held
in allegiance until after the close of
the fiscal year and after the annual
audit has been made. The audit Wilr
require lass time than usual, because
of the fact that an audit was made
in the late spring following the death
of the late City Clerk S. B. BurWclI.
Only Il little more than three month";
will be covered by the audit that will
be made for the RENT inder of -:
fiscal period.
At the office OF the county account
tant, Miss Dorothca Woodlief, it was
said today that no tabulatiOn had
been made on prepaid taxes to the
county, but that the figures prob

Street Dept. Too Busy to "Muss Up" CrossWalk,
 Traffic Signs

The police departments traffic sign squad yesterday painted new crosswalks and warning signs on Meriden road-and thereby hangs a tale.
 Earlier in the summer, the sign painters went to work on the same thoroughfare. With loving care, they yielded their brushes to form cross walks and Stop" and Slow signs. All the way from East Main street to Chase school they went, then stood back proudly to admire their work.
 But, alas! The street department thought nothing at all of the traffic sign squads efforts, and the very next day sent crews to Meriden road. Almost as if that were their only purpose the street department workers covered the brand-new

United States all business ceases on Labor Day, except necessary public utilities, and the people of all sections of American life en- gage in the festivities. Another difference is that in most foreign countries May Day has been dedi- cated especially to the working classes whereas in this country the first Monday in September was es- abolished as Labor Day.
 In Europe the first May Day demonstration by the working classes occurred in 1890 for the purpose of obtaining an eight- hour work day, At the time, and even today, governments opposed these May Day demonstrations, which frequently are attended by violent clashes between police and the preletariat.
 Peter J. McGuire Proposes Date.
 In the United States, in May, 1882, the newly organized Central Labor Union of New York received a proposal that labor in this eeun- try should select 8 day for a pa- rade which would show the strength and the esprit de corps of the trade and labor organiza- tions," and that the parade be fol- lowed by 8 picnic or festival. In support of the proposal it was ar- gued that there were other heli : days of 8 national scope in this country representative of the re- ligious, civil and military spirit, but rone representative of the industrial spirit, the great vital force of the nation" The author of this proposal was Peter J. Mo- Guire, president of the United Brotherhood of Carpenters and toners of America, and an active Joiners of America, and an active He further suggested the first Monday in September as the most desirable day for such holiday, because it came about halfway be- tween the holidays celebrating the Fourth of July and Thanksgiving Day.
 The Central Labor Union adopt ed the proposal and the first Labor Day celebration in this country occurred in September, 1882, when the union paraded in the streets of New York City. Not long after wards the Knights of Labor in General Assembly voted in favor of an annual celebration of the kind. The 1884 convention of the Federation of Organized Trades and Labor Unions of the United States and Canada, which later became the American Federation of Labor, also voted to make thu celebration national.
 Oregon Sets First State Holiday.
 Oregon was the first State to set aside the first Monday in Sep- teraber as State holiday to honor labor, by Act of Legislature, Feb- ruary 21, 1887. Within three months similar action had been taken by the legislatures of Col orado, Massachusetts, New Jersey and New York. Thirty States made Labor Day g legal holiday before the middle of 1894, and on June 2s of that year Congress passed an act making it a legal holiday in the District of Colum- bia and the territories. Now the holiday is observed in every State, the District of Columbia, Alaska, Canal Zone, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, and Virgin Islands.

NATION PREPARES l AGAINST PLEAS
Homecoming Vacations ists Advised to Start
 Blitzkrieg Immediately

The peak of the season for flea complaints comes immediately after Labor Day. Vacationers. returning to their homes which have been closed for part of the summer, find them heavily infested with fleas. AL ready numerous inquiries have been received by the Connecticut Agri- cultural Experiment Station in New Haven for control of these perennial pests. In reply the station sends out circular 97, "Fleas and Their Control" by B. H. Walden, assistant entomologist. This is available to anyone requesting it,
 The reason for heavy infestation of fleas in houses is the presence of pet animals, either cats or dogs. Un- der normal conditions eats and dogs have a few fleas but they never seem to cause very much trouble either to the animals or to the members of the household. While the animals are in the house, the fieas stay on their bodies. However, when they leave the house for a short period of time with their owners, outbreaks of f1eas may start from the animals infested bedding. The insects hatch from the eggs dropped in the bed- ding and multiply in the empty house. Pleas can live without food for more than month. It is also known that some fieas can find suff1- cient food in the cracks and crevices of apparently clean houses.
 There are two ways to rid house of fleas. One of them is to use five pounds of flake naphthalene for each ordinary sized room. Scatter the naphthalene on the floor and leave the room closed for "A hours. At the end of this time the naphthalene can be swept up and used in another room. This is safe, effective rem- edy and very cheap. However, the fumes of naphthalene are somewhat annoying and it is best to use the material only when the windows of the rooms not being fumigated can be left open. Another method is the use of an ordinary household fly spray such as is used according to directions on the can, they usually are successful. This means closing the windows and doors of the in- fested room and spraying from one- half pint to a quart of the spray in each infested room according tc its size. Then the windows and doors should Do left closed for ai least an hour after spraying
 The bed en which the animal slept before it's removal should be either thoroughly sprayed or washed In soap and hot water, or the bedding should be destroyed.
