KANSAS CITY, MO., November 2.—The Craw-
ford-Rutan Music Co. is one of the most active
Trinity Lutheran Saxophone Band
Buescher band instrument dealers in this sec-
tion and loses not the slightest opportunity to
create sales for these instruments. Members of
the sales force are constantly digging up new
prospects and looking for new sales. Recently
the Crawford-Rutan Buescher salesman went
over to Kansas City, Kan., and organized a
girls' saxophone band that already ranks with
the best in the country. The band is composed
of thirty attractive members of the Trinity
Lutheran Church and advertises itself, "Thirty
Girls! Thirty Buescher Saxophones!" A glance
at the accompanying illustration will reveal the
fact that a saxophone player may be a thing
of beauty and a joy forever.

tion for the purpose of framing a future na-
tional integrated taxation policy to co-ordinate
tax systems throughout the nation.
Among the recommendations of the chamber
for Federal tax revision are reduction of in-
come taxes to increase capital available for
productive commerce and industry; reasonable
differentiation of rates between earned and un-
earned income; revision of provisions relating
to capital gains and losses; repeal of estate
and gift taxes and permanent abandonment of
the former; repeal of all war taxes levied in
relation to particular businesses; and a thor-
ough "clean up" of conditions in the Bureau of
Internal Revenue.
One of the crying needs of the country, it
is held by the chamber, is adequate provision
for information to taxpayers.

Music Dealers Suffer Loss
in Fire in South Bend
Two Music Stores Heavily Damaged in Recent
Blaze Which Swept Business Section of In-

SOUTH BEND, IND., October 31.—Two prominent
retail music dealers, J. M. Rose and C. W. Copp,
suffered heavy property losses in the recent
quarter-million-dollar fire here, which destroyed
the Paxton Building, in the heart of the business
district. Botli merchants have conducted inde-
pendent music concerns here for the past twen-
ty-five years. It is estimated that their total
losses exceeded $75,000, which was not covered
by insurance. The origin of the fire is not
known.
Fire of an unknown origin did damage to the
extent of about $5,000 to the music stock of

Increased Parcel Post Limit
on Shipments to Cuba
Maximum Weight on Packages Sent From
United States Now Eleven Pounds—Wel-
comed by Exporters
WASHINGTON, D. C, November 2.—Increased
facilities for American producers and exporters
doing business with Cuba are foreseen under a
new parcel post convention just agreed upon
whereby an increase in the weight limit of par-
cel post matter from four pounds six ounces to
eleven pounds is to be made. The new agree-
ment becomes effective January 1, next.
Amendment of the present parcel post agree-
ment between the United States and Cuba has
been before the postal services of the two
countries from time to time since 1908, but it
is only within the past year that a concerted
effort has been made to provide for increased
service.
The extension of weight limits comes as a
result of demands from American exporters,
who contend they are handicapped in doing
business in Cuba because of the necessity of
sending all but very small shipments by freight.
With the exception of cigars, which can be
shipped to the United States in box lots un-
der the new agreement, it is not anticipated
that there will be any great increase in in-
coming matter.
