cause there is q tax on all kinds of
cosmetics. You pay at the movies,
not only an admission tax but enough
probably TO help the ''movie" man pay
his own film tax. If your grocer has
just bought a new cash register your
beans and carrots will help carry the
burden Of it tax Sitting still you pay,
because the chances are somewhere in
the clothes you wear is something that
takes tax. Your chair carries freight
tax. And if you travel you contribute
heavily. There's a tax on gasolene and
tax on motors and accessories. And
railroad travel collects in a half dozen
complex ways.
The real meaning Of the revenue bill
that Congress is trying to shape into the
form of law is that it puts every one into
the work of winning the war. There's
no escape. If your income is thousand
dollars year, regardless of your age, a
part Of that thousand goes into the fund
that buys shells and airplanes and shoes
and ships.
There was once--it seems long time
ago-a fancy drummer in a Broadway
restaurant VINO made noise every time
he turned muscle. There were bells
and triangles and drums and anvils and
Wory sticks and all sorts Of noisy in

Of sound. He couldn't move his arms or
MS neck or his legs without causing a
linsle or a boom. The war revenue bill

MARRIED WOMEN I'm SCHOOLS

Aberdeen News-P. p Claxton, ma
tional supervisor of education, in seek
ing a way out for supplying the short
age OF school teachers due to the war,
suggests that former school teachers
brush up in the work and resume
teaching TO relieve the deficiency.
Mr.. CIaxton also suggests that
boards OF education let down the bars
which now exclude married women
n ION the teaching profession, and per-
NIT them to teach, where they are
qualified, to help relieve the famine in
schooIma'ams.
The suggestions appeal TO the News
as excellent. There is every reason
why former teachers who are not 9TH

breach and save the country's school
boys and girls whose brains are Lam
gushing for lack of proper food.
