 By special arrangement and with extra precautions, 20th-Fox has been filming Q few sequences of "A Tank in tho RAF" at the Lockheed air- plane factory in Burbank, There hesnt been the slightest interfer- enee with defense work, or In the production Of bombers for Britain, but defense work and bomberS for Britain have interfered considerably with shooting the picture,
 You'd think that when an avia- ton flicker Is being made at fleld the sound ot planes in the air and on the runwayg would be just the thing for background atmosphere But it isn't, For some uneXplain- able technical reason, the noise Goesn't register properly, So such scenes have to be made when every things quiet, and the sounds Of en- zines are dubbed in later,

Outline Facts About
Late Summer Sickness

Late summer and early fall bring
special disease hazards which actually
affect relatively few people but which
strike general terror especially when
they happen to be especially prevalent
Poliimyelitis (infantile paralysis) is
one of these disease hazards and en-
cephalitis sleeping sickness) is an
other.
Members of the Minnesota State
Medical associations committee on
health education advise against undue
fear of either in their bulletin issued
today.
Here are a few facts about them as
outlined today by the doctors:
Even in epidemic years, the number
of people who are actually paralyzed
or permanently disabled by any OF
these diseases of the nervous system
is small in comparison with the num-
Der of people who are afflicted by
other equally disabling diseases.
Both are caused by virus which is
present in infective material from
patients; but little is known about
just how this virus is carried from
person to person. It may be by healthy
carriers, or by insects, or by contain
mated food, milk or water, or from
infected animals, Tin the case of en-
cephalitis) or from all four.
AS yet. the only known protection
is good general hygiene and the same
careful sanitary precautions that
should be followed as protection
against all disease. They include pro-
tecting food from contamination from
dirt, insects and careless handling;
personal cleanliness and especially
careful washing of hands to avoid
carrying any contamination to nose
and mouth; isolation of all sick people
until the cause of the trouble is known
and treated; care to protect children
especially from contact with sick
people, even those who appear to be
suffering only from a cold or head
ache or digestive upsets since these
are among the early symptoms of many
serious diseases.
The doctors also advise putting any,
body who is even slightly i'll to bed at
once and getting expert advice if they
don't recover promptly.
Having taken these precautions,
they advise forgetting the matter and
enjoying usual summer pursuits. The
chances in any individual case are all
against trouble.

new TAX BILL
TO HIT YOU
Bill Now Before Senate Makes
Permanent the So-Called
Nuisance Tax.

Persons in the lower and middle
income bracket will virtually have the
taxes they pay tripled by the new
tax bill which passed the house Mon
day and is now before the senate, the
Associated Press reported in the Du-
luth News-Tribune. The nations bus
mess firms will be given drastic in
creases in excess profit taxes.
Designed to raise about 3A billion
dollars, the measure would make per-
manent the so-called nuisance" taxes
enacted in 1882, and would impose new
or higher excise taxes, including a S.
annual used tax on all passenger cars,
a per cent tax monthly on telephone
bills. and 10 per cent manufacturer
excise tax on host of articles such
as musical instruments, electrical and
Photographic equipment and business
and store machines such as typewriters
and adding machines
As it passed the house, the bill would
raise about 1928, 100000 from individ-
uals through a drastic system of grad
uated surtaxes starting at the first
dollars of taxable income. They would
range from per cent to rs per cent
the latter rate applying to income
over $5,000,000. The present normal
tax rate of per cent was unchanged
but under the new plan a married
man with no dependents and earning
$500 would pay a tax of $3.50 in
contrast to his present tax of $11.
