C. G. CONN ASKS TAX REFUND
Claim for Refund of Excise Taxes Instituted in Court
of Claims in Elkhart.
A claim against the United States Bureau of In-
ternal Revenue was instituted in the U. S. Court of
Claims in Elkhart, Ind., February 7, by C. G. Conn,
Ltd., of that city. The claim is the first of a series
of similar claims for a refund of taxes. For this
reason the case is being closely watched by the
musical instrument industry.
The Conn company asks for a refund of $39,211.14,
with interest to date of repayment, the amount of
taxes wrongfully collected by the collector of in-
ternal revenue for the district of Indiana, as excise
taxes under Section 805 of the revenue law. The
taxes were paid under protest.

MUSICIANS' AILMENTS.
A book has just been published by Dr. Kurt
Singer, a German medical man and musician, w r hose
object is to describe generally the whole region of
so-called players' indispositions. He goes particu-
larly into the problem of nervousness, the neurosis
of the profession, play weakness peculiar to the user
of the bow, and the less frequent indisposition of the
players on wind instruments, voice weakness, etc.,
and then describes a general method for treating the
individual ailments.
