Tax on Spirits.

In connection with the prospect of a
war emergency tax to bring in revenues
to meet the expected shortage in Gus
toms the consumption Of commodities by
the people of the United States provides
a suggestion as to where more revenue
can be found. The imposition of tax on
spirits. beers, cigars and cigarettes gives
the government exact figures on these
products Of the manufacturer
There were 14,294,S95.471 cigarettes
consumed by the American public in the
last fiscal year, an increase of 2,132,19O,-

year.

n The Searchli6ht
Without Periscopes.

The Germans have made the claim for
their submarines that these little hornets
Of the deep seas would have to place but
a small dependence in the periscope when
naneuvering in time of battle. The peri
scope is the one source of unfortunate
advertisement as far as submarines are
concerned 1t can be easily picked UP by
the powerful sights of the modern bat
tleship. which is thus fully warned of its
sinking enemy's approach. The battle
ship then proceeds to destroy the peri
scope mast. and when the disabled sub
marine is forced to the surface to take
It's bearings. one well directed shell puts
il out of action forever.
IT is said, however, that the German
submarine carries with it source of
undersea light of such intensity and PEN
etrative power that, with the enemys
general position known, it will have lit
tie occasion to give its whereabouts away
by the Haunting of a periscope above the
water The boats carry coliapsibls masts
which elevate and lower the delicate re-
conuoisance instrument above and below
the surface. Thus, their periscopes may be
quickly swung above the waters surface
for an instant's reconnaissance. lowered
again while the little boat charges
through radiant water world upon an
unconscious foe. Much confidence is felt
among the German navy officers that the
wonderful deep sea lights of these little
boats will make them uncomfortable en-
emies of the modern dreadnought.

brandy and all spirits and wines made
from fruits and grapes fell OH amazing
ly, following a year marked for sur
prising and unexpected advance in con-
sumption over the preceding year. Ihere
were 4.0S2,215 gallons less disposed OF
last year than during the fiscal year 1913.
This means that there were 143.220.116
gallons of distilled spirits consumed dur
Ing the fiscal year 1913, against 1891 1885,
Sol gallons for the year just ended.
Fermented liquors, beers, ales and kim
dred drinks were popular, with S59,9Ol
barrels more disposed of in 1914 than
during the year preceding. The con-
sumption for the fiscal year 1914 reached
a total of 66,105,445 barrels, against an
output of 65,245,544 barrels during the
preceding fiscal year.
Fewer Cigars Smoked.
There were 27.345,412 fewer cigars
smoked last fiscal year than the preced-
ing year. The consumption for the fiscal
year 1918 was 7.764.183.oS7. and during
the fiscal year just closed was 7.736.937,-
675.
It was a year when the beer and Gig
arctic income prevailed, rather than a
year of wines and cigars. But there is
missioner that the high tide Of distilled
spirits has passed, and that consumption
will decrease each year.
The use OF snuff decreased to the extent
Of 442.727 pounds. Chewing and smok-
ing tobacco was popular, with an increase
of S,142,593 pounds.
There were just 2,13s,3o0 pounds Of
