"They Kick, but They Pay! " And Soda Men Are Elated Fountain Proprietors Confident Business Will Not Suffer, for the Volume Is as Big as Usual After the First Ten Days of Federal Tax "They kick, but they pay." This is the new philosophy of the soda fountains, born of the soft drink tax. At the end of the ten days the tax has been in effect, soda fountain proprietors of New York seemed reas? sured that their business was not going to be affected disastrously by the additional one cent per ten cents' worth of sweets, although they are vig? orously circulating petitions asking for the repeal of the tax and are beginning to have vague doubts as to the tempers of their cashiers. "The customers growl a lot, but they buy just as much ice cream soda as ever," said the manager of one of the Mirror stores. "It is the girl cashiers who really are bearing the burden of the tax. It just doubles their work, for they have to keep the soda check separate from the tax check, and it means handling two sets of tickets where they had only one before. I really don't know how the poor girls will manage when the summer rush be? gins." Adds to Gaiety of Life For the white-aproned brotherhood that mixes the drinks, however, the tax has added much to the gaiety of life in the witty ano: morose repartee of outraged customers. It was an unro mantic career in the old days, forever brewing sweet stuffs for perfect strangers. Now all men are friends over their straws, a friendship in which the clerk generally is included, and many a bright boy, mixing a lemon phosphate, has for the first time a chance to take his part in the great American game of snappy repartee.

They say it is bad enough not to be allowed a real drink, but to have a tax for the privation is the limit." Pennies Chief Annoyance According to other boys in a posi? tion to know the public mind, it is not the money, but the pother that annoys. "If it was twenty cents instead of seventeen they would pay willingly," said one expert. "They hate to be bothered with pennies. Nobody ever has two pennies and it causes delay to wait for change. If the law allowed us to add an additional five cents, two cents for the tax and three to save the public bother, I think most people would like it better. - "As for the actual effect of the tax on our trade, we can see no difference. I don't know how it will be in small towns, where the soda fountain trade is a midafternoon or evening trade, and where children are the best cus? tomers. In New York, however, espe? cially downtown, the busiest hour of the day for us is the noon hour and 5 o'clock, when people need a little lunch before starting on their hard trip home. Many Eat at Fountains "People come to the soda fountains for their luncheons, taking a milk drink, a sandwich and an ice cream, or else they get their main luncheon somewhere else and come here for desert. Thousands of persons visit the soda fountains to avoid paying a tip, to avoid the confusion and smell of cooking in a cheap restaurant, and because they save time here. "For such soda-lunch places the tax is an injustice. People can go to the tea rooms or hotels and get their ice cream without paying a tax. For the stenographer and the bank clerk, who make up the bulk of the city trade, however, the extra tax seems unfair and heaped upon the pocketbooks of those who can least afford to pay. "However, they pay. Business has Ivertisements HELP WANTED MALE NICKEL PLATING FOREMAN*.?

The person whi starts out to have ice cream intends to .have it, whatever the cost." The soda fountain proprietors are having no trouble in collecting signa- ; tures to their petition asking that the j tax be repealed. Every large estab-' lishment obtains several hundred sig- [ natures each day. The petition reads: : "To the Congress of the United States, Washington, D. C: We, the undersigned, being patrons of hocIh ! fountains and ice cream parlors, be? lieve that the tax on sodas, soft drinks ; and ice cream, when served at soda I fountains and ice cream parlors, is j unfair and discriminates against a ' large and ever increasing number of people. A large proportion of these are wage earners, who at times use soda fountains and ice cream parlors to procure a light luncheon or refresh? ment. Very often a soda, soft drink or ice cream is taken as part of such luncheon, or at other times is taken as food. "We protest against the tax on sodas, soft drinks and ice cream, be? cause they are taxed when served at soda fountains and ice cream parlors, and not taxed when served elsewhere. "We also believe the tax on soda3, soft drinks and ice cream is unfair, be? cause it is a tax on only a small part of taxable opportunity and is there? fore discriminatory. "We find the tax on sodas, soft drinks and ice cream when served at soda fountains or in ice cream parlors obnoxious and a nuisance, particularly at the busiest times of the day, and therefore urge the immediate repeal of this tax." -? House Hunting Worries Folks in England, Too Situation in Manchester Is De- ' scribed as Similar to That in New York New York Tribune. Foreign Press Bureau ' To tell New Yorkers tales of housing shortage is much like carrying coals j to Newcastle. Nevertheless there is ! always a sort of comfort in the knowl? edge that others are not much better off than ourselves. Thus, according to "The Manchester Guardian," conditions ; in the Lancaster metropolis have j reached the stage where "house hunt- j ing" has become one of the most ex- I asperating features of the struggle ? for existence. We read: "Certainly house hunters are becom- ! ing bolder?urged on by despera!ion. A ! friend has just returned after three \ months' absence to reopen her house, and had hardly pulled up the blinds before there came a ring at the doer. She opened it, and without parley was greeted with the demand from a re- . spectably dressed person. 'Will you let me two rooms?' The owner respect? fully declined; she did not wish to share her house. 'How long have you ! been here?' was the next demand, eagerly made, the applicant evidently ! fearing that she had just missed a j chance of a whole house. 'Forty years,' was the stolid reply and it was true. | Staggered by this miraculous instance | of immobility during the present times ? of change and dissolution, the appli? cant turned and descended the .steps | without another word." ?-. !_. .- I ADVERTISEMENT I CUT YOUR "Heretofore, soles never lasted me more than three months, because my work keeps me walking constantly on cement. But I have worn a pair of Ne?lin Soles now for more than three months, and judging from their present condition, they will last thrqp times as long." So says G. L. Kerr, manager of an automobile organization in Geneva, N. Y. This extra wear given by Neolin Soles not only makes the shots soled with them cheaper by the year than other shoes, but the price you pay in the first place is sometimes less than for shoes of only ordinary wear. You can get Neolin-soled shoes in many styles for every member of the family. Try these long-wearing, com? fortable and waterproof soles on your worn shoes too. All good repair shops have them. They arc made by The Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co., of Akron, Ohio, who also make Wingfoot Heels, guaranteed to outwear all other heels. Trade Mark liec U.S. Pet.

Army Claims Credit For Speed Made in Casualty Records American Notification Aver? age Was 29 Days After Death or Injury; French a Month, British 5 Weeks WASHINGTON, May 10.?Analysis of French and British official reports on the army casualty records during the war is considered by officers here as showing that the system built up in the American expeditionary forces and the War Department compared favor? ably with the achievements of the other great Allied powers. The average time required to notify relatives in the United States that a soldier had been killed or seriously wounded was twenty-nine days, despite the 3,000-mile distance from France and congested cables. The French re? quired from two to four weeks with their army fighting on French soil, and did not attain that speed until 1916 after many changes of method. The British, with only the Channel separat? ing them from the fighting zone, re? quire five weeks, which average was not reached until 1917. after three years' experience. The American sys? tem was working on the twenty-nine day average seven months after war was declared. Transfers Caused Mistakes The same difficulties in handling casualties beset the military authori? ties in every army. There is one case of record in the American service I where a regiment which had lost heav? ily during the day was recruited with replacement troops at midnight and at? tacked at dawn. Many replacement men came back as casualties within five hours after they reported to the regi? ment, anci before they could be checked up on the regimental rolls. At the hospit-vl's wounded men fre? quently gave the name of a former unit, overlooking a recent transfer. Federal Reserve Banks WASHINGTON, May 10.?The tide of Federal Reserve.

The Federal Reserve Board's weekly financial statement showed a $4,000,000 increase in this item since last week, although total of bills on hand dropped $12,000,000. Deposits rose $44,500,000.

Often the identity of the wounded had to be taken from documents they car? ried, which did not give correctly the organization to which they then were attached. Records Are Verified An elaborate system of verification of records had to be built up as a re? sult of this confusion. This caused delay and personal letters or messages, going through in three or four days, sent by injured men themselves or their friends were received by relatives far in advance of the official report. Reports in the War Department show that at ?he time of the armistice the American forces had 16,000 men rated as missing in action, exclusive of known prisoners of war. The British 1 list was 161,000 and the French 290,000. j By February 1, 1919, the American miss ; ing list had been reduced to 8,071, and j by March 1 to 4,500. It is expected that when the French finish checking up French hospital rec? ords 500 or 600 more will be taken from the American missing list as hav? ing been located through French hos? pitals. These records probably will not be available before next fall. Casualty List WASHINGTON, May 10?
