british MOVIE TAX
NOT A SERIOUS BLOW
MANAGERS BELIEVE NEW WAR
iMPOST WILL NOT HURT
BUSINESS

LONDON, May l. Managers OF
moving picture theaters do not believe
that the new government war tax on
their business will make any differ
ence in the size OF audiences. The
tax is to be regulated by the size of
the admission fees
There are approximately $500 pic
ture theaters now open in the United
Kingdom, or thousand less. perhaps,
than there were before the war. These
include theaters of all sizes from those
possessing seating accommodation OF
200 to those accommodating 1000 or
more Reckoning the average daily
attendance at each house at 500 and
the average admission price al siS
pense (12 cents) per head, the YAK
would bring in total daily revenue ol
10000 pounds.
Excluding Sunday shows, which are
not general, the total for week would
amount to $4,000 pounds. which for {
whole year would be increased tt
about 2S,000,0e0 pounds.

LONDON, May |. The cost in
taxes of keeping motor-car has been
much higher in England than in
America for some years. but under
the new war budget or the chancellor
of the exchequer, is increased to a
level which win discourage all but the
very rich and particularly discourage
the building Of high power machines.
The old motor taxes ranged from
ten dollars on car of six and half
horse power up to about 5000 on a
sixty horse power machine. Now this
tax has ben doubled on the smaller
cars of Is horse power and less, while
it is trebled on those of higher power
so that sixty horse power car must
pay about $500.
Still there is enough wealth in Eng
land, new war gains, and old accumu
lations, so that no radical reduction
in the number Of cars in use is expect

SCALE INSECTS.
Few Trees and Shrubs Ar Immune
From Attack Of These Pests.


IA. H. Hollinger, Missouri station.]
Scale insects annually cost the farm
ers, nurserymen. foriculturists and city
property. owners thousands of dollars.
Few trees and shrubs are immune
from their attack. The best known ex-
ample of scales is the San Jose scale,
which attacks over hundred kinds Of
plants, and the oyster shell scale is on
nearly as many trees and shrubs
There are many other injurious kinds.
A few of the plants attacked are ash
chm, maple, dogwood, willow, gum
poplar, oak, sycamore, walnut, box ell
der, pine, beech, Eastwood, blackberry
eatalpa, locust, buckeye, An fruit trees
and many shrubs, such as the lilac
rose and v1bunum. -
Scales are about as varied in charac-
ter as the plants they attack. Some are
circular, others resemble very small
oyster shells, some are gray or black in
color, and others are white or reddish.
but all are very small, being about the
size of q pinhead. Sometimes they Oc-
cur isolated on the twigs, branches or
leaves, but frequently they are massed
by the thousands on the bark Of either
the trunk or the twigs. They are all
injurious to a greater or less extent.
though the PROPERTY owner may not be
aware Of the danger.
There may be several new kinds,
which If not found out and identified
might prove to be very injurious. The
circular scale on the trunk and branch
e. Of your red naples may be the COM
mon maple scale. 1t may, however,
prove to be q SCALE new to science.
The white scale found on young elms
may be the common elm scale. but it
might be one which if not discovered
and controlled might BECOME as danger
GUS as the San Jose scale.
