NO STEAM IN LEFT

In the fifth. Louis was still pur-
suing. But Novas left was not
even a singer. 1t was a slow push
that carried no steam. He con-
tinued to miss with a right.
Louis knew he had seen all he
needed to see by the sixth. He
came out swinging. II was Louis
at his best. II was the Louis who
topped Camera, nassacred -Baer
and slaughtered Braddock. 1t was

Some experts, Of course, will
give Louis the first round be-
cause Of one light blow he landed
on Nova's forehead. But the round
was far too tame 10 give 10 either
man. So was the second. And
the third went 10 Nova, the only
round he won.
There was only one good blow
in the third. This was left hook
TO the body by Nova. But Lou
had a trickle of blood
from the nose by this time.
The Shuffling Louis. deadly
and finally looking more
poisonous than we have seen since
the second Schmeling fight, went
to work in the fourth round. Near
the end of the round he was pump
ing away with rights and lefts at
Nova. Lou tried several times to
land rights, but he missed badly.

Washington, Aug. II - (UPo = A lawyerless method for computing income taxes for person earning $3,- GOO or less year was advanced to- day before the Senate Finance Committee by Secretary of the Treasury Henry Morgenthau, Jr.
 Morgenthau submitted a sample chart which, he said, could be hung in postoffices throughout the coun- try and enbale taxpayer to figure out what he owes the government at a glance.
 "such a method would make it possible for man to make out his income tax in five minutes without going to the trouble of hiring a lawyer or talking to anybody except maybe a postmaster or treasury official" he said.
 The chart showed taxes computed at rates proposed in the house-ap- proved version of the new tax bill, but staring at the lower exemption base proposed by the treasury and President Roosevelt-$750 for single persons and $1 500 for married per- sons The exemptions now are $500 i and $2,0OO, respectively. The sample rates made average" allowances for such things as contributions. For purposes of simplicity the chart makes tax liability equal fol incomes that fall within range oi $25 = that is, for example, persons

BMA Garr1guS out. Shortages exist in many essential cOmmOdi- ties and drugstOres with savy are marking up prices. Nature has provided ample supplies of cura- tive herbs that will chase ills away.
 Years ago, Tom Parks, of Wa terEury, used to tour the country side in search of herbs and he never had a sick day in his life. Tom knew how to brew mullen tea, how to reduce a Sprain, how to cure warts, and how to make hair grow faster with grapevine sap. He made no pretense at being an authority. He was of English par entage and he learned his herbol- ogy from genuine old fashioned InjunS. Tom had an assortment of eel skins and powdered hop toads. The toad powder was for heart trouble. His work was started before it cost six bits for a dimes worth of pumpkin seed juice to stop 8 baby yelling from cramps. He continued the oppo- sition to high priced medical treat ment throughout his life. Tom Parks should have written 8 book about herbs. If more people would take g. catnip tea cocktail before retiring, wed hear a lot less about the hectic nerve strain caused by bridge playing and trying to pass cars on curves.

Frankly White was another herb collector who knew his stuff. Frank owned a talking machine and his musical tours to under privileged farm homes were events looked forward to with great pleasure and anticipation. FranL bought his musical equipment at TOwle'S store on West Main street, in Waterbury. His march, Swed- ish Guard, used to get our hired man so excited he hood two extra rows of corn trying to remember it the next day. Frank had love ballads for young country lads who never had chance to go to a burlesque show, and he had pa- triOtic tunes from Spanish War days that brought you visions of San Juan Hill an Fl Caney. He never owned 8 horse or a motor car. His rolling stock consisted of an ordinary hand-drawn express cart with red wheels.
 Frank had one bad habit. He was 8 skunk hunter and a fool about women. He thought every woman needed two things, a skunk fur huff or tippet and a bottle of skunk oil for colds. Many a time, On his way to a musical engage ment, Frank would stop in mid- passage to kill a buck skunk that was peacefully going along a country road in search of a hen- coop to rob. Frank never seemed to understand that association with skunks was not exactly an asset in high society, so when he came in and folks opened the win- dowS to sort of get better ventila- tion, it never worried him a mite. He just wound up the photograph and put on Who Threw the Over alls in Mrs. Murphy'S Chowder" and trusted to melody to make it perfect evening.
 It's funny how those tunes Over- came the fumes. Weak stomach cd people often sat through an entire evening without gagging more than twice. Frank would play on until after midnight, then he would load up the records and the talking machine, borrow bur- lap bag to carry his skunks in, and head back toward W0lcOtt. Many a night, Frankly White sat up until dawn skinning a harrow backed skunk to make a swell chOker collar for 3 backwoods belle.
