since the exemption less sales tax
went into affect in July, Scott point
ed out. Including the retail sales of
sweet milk and other articles which
are still exempt from the three per
cent retail sales tax, Scott estimates
that the retail sales alone for this
year are averaging $30,000,000 a month
or $360,000,000 a year. The taxable re.
tail sales Have been averaging about
$20.000 000 a month or $22*.000,000 a
year. Thus on the basis of the sales
tax Collections from taxable retail
and wholesale sales for the past three
months, it is estimated that these
combined sales aggrgate at least $584,-
000,000 a year.
These figures do not include real
estate sales, sales of farm produce
by the farmers, the sales of minerals
and timber, which are non-ixbaale un
der the sales tax, and other exempt
ed sales. If all these other items
should be included, the total sales in
the state would easily amount to $75,-
000,000 a month or almost $1,000,000,-
000 a year without including the
sales of goods by manufacturers,
none of which are subject to taxation,
since most manufactured goods are
sold in interstate commerce and
hence not taxable by the State.

HIGH SCHOOL WILL
ISSUE OWN PAPER
Journalism Club To Sponsor
Project Now Getting
Under Way
The journalism club of the Hender
son high school has begun a propect
of publishing a scHool magazine,
which will be a school project, it was
announced today, with all of the work
being done by the pupils. It is to be
representative of the entire high
school, it will be handled by a staff
composed of members of the journal
ism club.
Miss Shannon Morton, of the high
school faculty, is in charge of the
journalism club, and is working with
that group in issuing the paper.
The club hopes that the paper will
not only reflect the life of the school,
in a form which can be permanently
preserved by the pupils, but that it
will develop abilities in writing and
strengthen the responsibilities for
citizenship, it was explained.
The name of the paper, which has
not yet been issued, was to be chosen
today from a list of suggestions by
members of the class. The name will
be revealed in the first issue, which is
expected to be ready for distribution
next week and monthly after that. It
is planned to bring out the magazine
twice a month if the interest and sup
port justify it.
Members of the club and faculty
of the high school appealed today to
the adult friends v*hool for
support through suggestions, subscrip
tions and advertisements.

DIPHTHERIA DRIVE
BEGIN MOOES
Dr. Mitchell To Visit West
End Tomorrow, Clark
Street on Friday
A vigorous campaign for immuni
zation of children against diptheria
has been launcded in the schools of
the city and county by Dr. Z. P. Mit
chell,, health officer he announced
today. It is planned to visit all of
the schools on scheduled dates for the

Diphtheria vaccine, known as diph
theria toxoid, is being given to pre
school children and all school chil
dren under ten years of age who have
never had the treatment. The toxoid
is given in a single dose, and does
not make the child sick, but does
protect children from diphtheria in
about 95 per cent of the cases, Dr.
Mitchell said.
Children ten years old and above,
as well as others who have taken
the treatment hretofore will be giv
en the Schick test to determine their
immunity status, which means show
ing whether or not they need the
toxoid.
Or. Mitchell said he was especial,
