MIDW1NTER ADVERTISING

The period after Christmas is tra- ditionally one when the public ex- poets bargains. Stores that do not take much pains to work off their stocks are apt to hold them until an- ether year. Or more likely they have to sell at a big sacrifice about March 1, when a little enterprise would work them off now.
 It is time when unless the public is stirred up to buy winter goods, they may worry along until the season is over. They think the winter. is about half gone anyway, and they don't feel much like buying now unless their at- tention is called to some bargain or something they want.
 But enterprising stores have no par ticular difficulty in keeping the crowd coming The customary advertising shows the public where good values can be had Little complaint is heard from the stores that have the enter prise to tell the public what they have.

SAYS PROFITS TAX
 MAY SURVIVE WAR

Philadelphia, Dec. Discussing Federal taxes upon income and ex- cess profits before meeting of the American Economic Association here, T. s. Adams, professor of political economy at Yale University, said:
 '"The American excess-prof1ts tax in an attempt to apply progressive in- come tax to business in such a way as to spare or exempt normal earn. ings. If it succeeds 1t is not unlikely to last, as several members of Con- gress have predicted, for many years aftert he war. It may be used as a substitute for a protective tariff, or if such a tariff is introduced, as a method of taxing for the government some of the profits which protection brings to private business.
 With a fair interpretation and considerate administration it will work. Obviously, however, it could be improved at several points. A de- ductionf or the mortiation of special war plant should be authorized; full interest deduction should be given to corporations; salary allowances to partners and sole traders should be explicitly recognized; the 8 per cent. tax should be confined largely to earnings derived from personal ser- vice and should not be applied to all business concerns having nominal capital; and most important of all some official or board should be spe- officially empowered to relieve the cases of hardship and smooth out the inequalities which are bound to arise under 8 law so new as this"
