Federal Revenue Shows $15,-

Last- Fiscal Year.
$650,000 FOR COSMETICS
Figures Indicate Girls Spend
Big Sum for Beauty—To-

l
l
The l‘nlted States government re-
(‘civvd $34,977,000 in taxes from Con-
necticut during the fiscal year ended
June 30, it was disclosed by figures
made public yesterday by
levenue Collector Robert O. Eaton,
at Hartford. This was a drop of $15,-
091,000 from the federal revenue col-
lected in Connecticut during the pre-
vious _\v‘:ir, but is traceable largely to
changes in the revenue law. .
The elimination of the transporta'i‘
tion tax accounted for $5.169.000 of
Internal
the. dv“reus~. the wiping out of the
tax on insurance pol‘.clcs took of!
31.384.000 more and the fact that less
rich persons «lied in Connecticut ill
lllv: period covered. made a difference
of $02,:lu(l.nml. A drop of approxi-
matrig' 32.100.000 in income tax col-
lvctions was largely counterbalanced
by ll‘it‘l’l‘llSI'S in the receipts from
other taxes.
A drop of from $374,000 to 8292.000
in collections on account of the
(ii-alers' excise tax was brought. about
mostly by exemptions of articles that
were formerly Silhjt'ct to this tax.
The figures indicated that the aggre-
gate spent by Connecticut girls for
beauty creams and similar substances
is enormous. About $650,000 a. year
is spent ill the slate for cosmetics
and perfumls. if a comparison of
rL‘\f‘llllt: figures is reliable.
According to the story told by the
figures, while the people of Connecti-
cut were free spclzjcrs during the
past year. they tightened up to some
extent from the previous year. They
continued to buy automobiles and ac-
rcssorlcs and other luxuries of great
aggregate value. There was nothing
in the figures to show what the peo-
ple of the state spent for ice cream
cones and college ices. buts. drop
from $518,800 to $108,000 in the taxes
collected on non-alcoholic beverages.

____—-—-——-——‘
The capture of.- rum runners has
been a. profitable procedure for West‘.
port. "l'liat. town. now has 81,600 to
spend because of «its vigilence in.stop—
ping and fining men who are traf-
ticking illegally in'ilquor.
And all this money-was collected in
a month-*from‘m‘ is to July 13—-
the thirteenth being a. lucky day for
the court but an unlucky one for the
bootleggers. Just what Westport will
buy with its “rum money" has not
been decided but it can be stated as
a positive fact that. no" part of the
$1.600 will go toward buying a pres.
ent to; Earl Garlick of Bridgeport.
Garlick criticized the town court be-
cause the court persisted in fining
rum runners instead of sending them
to the Bridgeport courts. where Mr.
Gal-lick claimed—and Mr. Garllck is
the assistant prosecutor there—the
booze carriers would be sent. to jail.
And in the controversy that followed
Mr. Garllck “stuck to his guns" but
Prosecutor Bradley hasn't fired a shot
back. Still \Vestport has the 31.600
and maybe it will be used for court
furnishings. but be careful if you are

Judge he has a. "rum court." because

In all W'estport has collected 3:.-
600 from violators of the 13th
amendment. Since the state officers
did not figure in all of the cases the ‘
split is 81.000 for the state and $1,600
for the townalnstead of 50-50.
The "rum report" for the month

Little Josephine Zeigler,
Hurt in Accident June 8,
Has Chance Now.
Little Josephine Ziegler, the daugh-
ter of Mr. and Mrs. Michael Ziegler.
of Bell Island, who was injured in a.
trolley car accident early in June. is
fighting hard at the Norwalk Hospital
to live. For four weeks. the little
girl. she is but ten years old. has stub-
bornly defied the grim reaper. Today
chances are that she will recover.
On June 8th. Jocepnine was crossing
the street with her sister and ran into
a trolley car. She was knocked down
and dragged under the car which
passed over her right leg necessitating
amputation.
For days. the girl's life was dispair-
ed of. She was in a weakened condi-
tion resulting from amputation of her
limb; besides she suffered internal in-
juries. Last week. Dr. George G.
Fawcett grafted skin on the injured
leg. The skin was obtained from the
girl's arms. From that moment Jo-
sephine seemed to pick up. It is now
felt that she will recover.

FlRPO, FLliSliED WIIII VICTORY
OVER BIG JESS WILLARD,
SIGNS TO FIGHT JACK DEMPSEY
Match May Be Arranged for Labor Day—Dempsey’s Man-
ager, at Jersey City Ringside, Declares Champion Is .
Ready Any Time—Fight Critics Are Already ‘
Picking Dempsey to Win. ‘
.PRICE THREE CENTS
fi
. I
’-
The sporting world today is focusing its attention on Luis Pirpo,
the dark browned yourg giant who, coming north from the Pampas
about 15 months ago, battered his way to the foreranks of heavy-
weights with the tremendons sledge hammer blows of his right fist.
Firpo this morning looked fondly
at the contract which he had signed
with Promoter Tex Rickard. agreeing
to fight the champion. Last night he
had fought and beaten Jess “'lllard
before an estimated crowd of 100.000
and today he was looking forward to
the throng he would face when he
stepped into the ring in an attempt
to tear the laurels from the head of
Dempsey.
Dempsey. victorious over Tom Gib-
bons by a. decision only after his op-
ponent had gone the full 15 rounds
at Shelby. was not at the ringside
last night. He was on the Pacific
coast. resting after his only combat
in two years. But his manager, Jack
Kearns. was present. and he told
newspapermen his protege was ready
for Flrpo any time.
"Labor day?" someone cried.
"Any time."
And so the world of sport new
looks for negotiations which again
will match North and South Ameri-
ca in the ring.
Critics who have seen both Demp«
sey and Flrpo in action. indicated to-
day that should a match be arranged
this summer their choice would be
the champion. Dempsey has an ar-
senal of blows as varied as they are
powerful. He is still in his prime.
Firpo. on the other hand. is still
green. His most powerful low is
still his right swing. His much tout-
ed left said to have been developed
by his veteran trainer. Jimmy DeFor-
est. hardly whipped out once last
night. and then it had no sting. He
still rushes to the attack, leaving
vulnerable spots unguarded.
Willard did more than his previous
opponents in holding his wicked
right in check. but even the former
champion weakened when once it got‘
through his defense. Had the Kan-
sas giant fought. anything but a de-
fensive battle a, different talc might
have been told.
But despite the crudcness of his
form, Firpo is a. natural fighter. He
“has developed rapidly and has stami-
na. and grit. Youth is on his side.
“'illard. who has taken blows from
both men. declared last night that
Firpo was a. good tough hitter and
would make a good match for the
champion.
