Detroit. Kansas Clt7. Atlanta 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.
