MONDAY MORNINO, MAY 19, 1919.
; '; CLEAN UP CAMPAIGN.
It is house cleaning1 time for every city, town
and village in the United States. This year, more
than any other, it is imperative that every cen
ter of population be put in a sanitary condition.
This means the safeguarding of the public
health and the assurance that the returning sol
diers who have escaped the perils of shell fire
and disease abroad shall not be in danger of pes
tilence when they return home. After an open
winter in many parts of the country the need of
extreme measures to assure the removal of re
fuse in streets and alleys has been realized by
many municipal governments, but to guard
against epidemic it is imperative that the whole
nation should apprehend that it is a patriotic
duty to take every possible precaution to prevent
a great mortality during the summer months.
THE WORLD'S REACTION.
Richard Spillane, noted economist, writes as
follows in regard to the present era of extrav
agance:
Germany, on the brink of an abyss of deb
and privation, which means, perhaps, a century
of tribulation and tribute, dances. While states
men study, what it is posible for Germany to pay,
' we hear of German gambling in the streets at
day and prancing about the floors of beer halls
at night, despite riot and civil warfare in manj
German cities by day and by night.
The industrial prostration England knew a
the time of our Civil War owing to being cut off
from much of America's raw material, was trivia
to what England knows today, yet London never
was so gay superficially. As in Berlin there is
craze for dancing. In the jreat town houses
has become the custom to have dancing parties
night after night with a supper or breakfast at
5 a. m. to mark the closing of festivities. . And
yet in India, the largest dependency of the Brit-
r ish empire, there rages one of the greatest fam
Jnea in history, and there is rebellion in Egypt
and near rebellion constant in Ireland.
In America there is extravagance unprece
dented. The trade in jewelry in the four months
of December, January, February and March is
said to exceed any twelve months on record.
There is a barbaric demand for diamonds, rubies,
pearls and such things. So, too, with fine furs
There is a world-wide craze for splurging. To
many persons this may seem abnormal. It is
not unusual. It follows every war. It is man's
: unconscious effort to even the distribution of
joys, or what pass for joys, with the sorrows
Life is a series of reactions.
This is only temporary a transitory manifes
tation. The world will sober a bit later. The
world always balances itself somehow.
Despite the present manifestations of waste,
- careless living, extravagance and hectic f rivol-
ing the world has been enriched by the war and
: the soul of man has been stirred to better things
Among the women of Aghanistan the strongest
superstition attaches to the potency of the frog
as a love charm. The mode of procedure is as
follows: Two frogs are tied back to back. A
black heart is painted upon the bullfrog, while
the head of the cow frog is similarly ornamented.
The pair are then baked alive and the remains
reduced to powder, which, sprinkled upon some
dear friend, is supposed to cause her to lose the
favor of her husband and to give place to the
rival. -..
Europe's "age-old problem" is simply a larger
edition of the truth that two families can't get
along in the same house.
when people say that a gay young man ha3
finally settled down, they mean that he is final
ly making an effort to settle up.
THE AGE OF MARVELS.
The most powerful machine in the world, ex
erting a pressure of ten million pounds, is the
Olsen testing machine, in the Pitstburgh labora
tories of the U. S. government's bureau of stan
dards. Without this stupendous engine, buildings
like the Woolworth, that cathedral of commerce,
would be possible but dangerous. It tests brick
piers or great columns of steel and concrete, to
show how much overhead weight they can stand
before giving way.
The cave man could exert only . the power
stored up in his muscles. He could not even move
a heavy boulder, for he knew nothing of the prin
ciple of the crowbar. Today in Pittsburg, a
slender workman throws on an electric switch
and thereby puts a weight of ten million pounds
into motion.
Yet the powerful Olsen machine is simple-
looks like an old-fashioned letter press on a big
scale. Like all of man's inventions, it is only an
extension of his fingers.. A pair of scissors is
an extension of two fingers with long sharp nails.
The bricklayer's hod or the waiter's tray is mere
ly an extension of the open palm. Form your
hand into a cup and you have the principle of the
the steam shovel. Like the cupped hand, the
steam shovel's movements are directed by the
brain.
Fascinating are other instruments in the same
quarters with the Olsen machine. Scales so
sensitive that a hundred-millionth of an ounce
will move them; as you approach, the heat of
your body makes them quiver.
Another instrument shows how much heat a
ray of light brought with it when it left a star
ten years before. - '
The bureau of standards has apparatus for
measuring heat that will melt rock and cold so
extreme as to liquify air. You would think the
apparatus would melt too. Like the scientiests
of the Middle Ages who searched centuries for
the Universal Solvent, the acid that would dis
solve anything. One day a simpleton asked what
they would be able to keep it in even if they
found it.
All these inventions of higher science are
based on light wave. The interferometer, a light
wave machine, can determine difference of
length as small as two-millionths of an inch. De
stroy all standards Of length in the world yard
sticks, rulers, tape-lines and they could all be
restored by referring to the interferometer and
what it reveals about the red line, in the spec
trum of cadmium.
This is the age of magic Black Art in
science. Only a few centuries since man made
measurements by paces or the length from elbow
to extreme fingertip, and kept tally with sticks.
Today we have a yardstick made of light waves.
Each of these wonderful scientific instruments
was first made, created, in the brain of one man.
The age of startling invention is just flushing
pink in its dawn.
OWN YOUR OWN HOME.
The fact that plans for dwellings, prepared by
the United States Housing Corporation during
the war time various government projects, are
to be made available for general public use by
the Own Your Own Home section, information
and education service, United States Department
of Labor, will serve to stimulate the interest of
women in all parts of the country in this move
ment.
Several types Of houses have been seelcted, and
the plans for these wil be given to Own Your Own
Home committees which are now carrying on
campaigns in more than 40 cities. These plans
are for dwellings that will best serve the needs
of average families. Beauty and utility have
been combined in the most practical manner altl
the plans are capable of many variations. It is
explained that the purpose is not to interfere in
any way with the work of local architects by
thus providing government plans, free of cost,
but it is expected that when the estimates in
widely separated states are compiled the infor
mation will be of value to prospective home own
ers, while it will afford comparisons of the vary
ing cos!; of construction in many parts of the
United States. The employment of local archi
tects is advocated. .
Requests that local Own Your Own Home
campaigns be started without delay were sent
out by the United States Department of Labor
April 1 to 400 cities. -Letters were addressed to
mayors, labor organizations, and the clergy, as
well as to clubs and other associations that have
expresed willingnes to aid the campaign. While
there are now 40 cities conducting well-advanced
Own Your Own Home campaigns, nearly 200
others have started the work of stimulating
building.
The peace treaty doesn't give other nations all
that they wanted, but it gives the Hun a great
and glorious plenty of what he nedded.
Liberty is something enjoyed bjf all peoples
who have preferred it to life without it.
SOFT DRINKS
TAX CAUSE OF
MANY MISTAKES
Inquiries " received by the Bureau of
Internal Revenue and Collectors indi
cate a misunderstanding' on the part
of not onlr a large portion of the pub
lic but dealers themselves regarding
the tax on soft drinks, which became
effective May 1. Reports reaching the
bureau are that some dealers are not
collecting the tax whUe others are
charging extra pennies for drinka
which are not taxable.
To correct these mistakes the bu
reau has Issued the foiowing official
statement relating to the coUection of
the tax.
The tax is one cent for each ten
cents or fraction thereof on the amount
paid at soda fountains, ice cream par
lors or similar places of business on
soft drinks, ice cream, ice-cream sun-
does, "or similar articles of food or
drink when sold for consumption in or
in proximity to such place of business."
The purchaser can not escape the tax
by stepping outside of the place where
sold to consume his soft drink or ice
cream. Ice cream in cones is taxable,
because sold under conditions which
indicate that IE is to be consumed "in
or in 'proximity to the place of busi
ness." When ice cream is sold under
conditions which indicate that it would
usually be consumed in or in proxim
ity to the premises, the fact that the
purchaser does not consume it there
but carries it away, does not render
it free from the tax. Ice cream sold In
boxes and ice cream sodas or other
soft drinks sold in pitchers or buckets
for home consumption are exempt.
Sales of soft drinks, ice cream and
similar articles of food and drink in
hotels, restaurants, cafeterias and club
houses are not taxable unless sold sep
arate and apart from meals. If ice
crem or a soft drink is the only re
freshment ordered in such places the
tax applies. Such sales at soda foun
tains are taxable even though sold as
part of a meal.
In general such beverages common
ly known as soft drinks which are
compounded or mixed at a soda foun
tain are subject to the tax. Illustra
tive of these are orangeade, lemonade,
pineapple juice, coco cola, root beer,
moxie, phosphates, soft and flavoring
syrup3 mixed with plain or carbonated
water, milk shakes, malted milk, cream
and egg shakes, ice cream, ice cream
sodas, ice cream sundaes, ice cream
sandwiches and flavored ices.
Certain drinks often sold at soda
fountains, Ice cream parlors and sim
ilar places of business are not taxable.
Such beverges are hot beef tea, coffee,
tea, buttermilk, milk, hot chocolate or
cocoa, hot clam bisque, hot tomato
bisque and hot tomato boullon. Medi
cinal preparations such as bromo-selt-zer,
citrate of magnesia, rochelle salts,
seidlets powders, bicarbonate of soda,
aromatic spirits of ammonia, epsom
salts, essence of pepsin, etc., sold at
the fountain also escape the "soft
drink" tax. No tax applies on the sale
of beverages such as ginger ale, root
beer, moxie, mineral water, etc., when
served from closed containers, be
cause a manufacturer's tax on such
drinks has already been levied.
The tax is on the whole amount of
the purchase price. Thus, if a pur
chaser who "treats" a friend orders
two sodas at the same time, each sell
ing for 15 cents, the tax is 3 cents, and
not 4 cents. If, however, he buys one
15-cent soda and immediately there
after purchases another 16 -cent drink,
the tax is 2 cents on each sale. Deal
ers are advised to guard separate cus
tomers against pooling their purchses
to escape the tax. The penalty for
willfully attempting to evade the tax
is a fine of not more than $10,000 or
not more than ones year's imprison
ment, or both, together with the cost
of prosecution.
Sales of ice cream and soft drinks
by religious, charitable or educational
societies on special occasions such as
church festivals, picnics, etc., are not
taxable. Such sales in stands and
booths at agricultural fairs, racing
parks, public exhibitions, circuses,
shows and similar places are taxable.
