NEW WAR REVENUE
PUTS UP Smokes"
Both Cigars And Cigarettes To Cost
More Under Pending

Cigarettes as well as cigars are to
cost more to the consumer under the
new war revenue bill, now pending
in the United States Senate But the
increases are not to be anything like
they were when the bill was framed
in the Ways and Means Committee of
the House, for since that time the war
has ended and such heavy levies as
were originally proposed are no long
er necessary.
But the smallest increase in the
price of pack of cigarettes said a
leading dealer today, after looking over
the Senate schedule, will be one cent.
This will be imposed on the package
that now sells at 25 cents or less. This
is the smallest kind Of cigarette, and
is classed as thai weighing less than
three pounds per 1000 On the high
er class cigarettes ii is proposed to in
crease the tax from $3.50 per 1000 to
$40, and that means that not less
than four cents viii have to be added
to the price of a package. This class
OF cigarettes now runs in price from
So cents package upward But this
increase is much less than was pro-
posed in he House BILL
On little cigars the tax is to be $50
a thousand. The new tax is to be "a
per thousand on the 5-centers; $40
per tholsand up to s cents; 50 up to
Is cents: SIP up to 20 cents. and SIS
for those above 20 cents The highest

TWO HUBBARD BOYS
UNHURT AFTER FIGHT

Mrs. Alonzo Hubbard, of this city,
has received letter from her sons,
Alonzo and William Hubbard, privates
Of Company NJ, 115th Infantry, stating
that they were in the rest camp after
81 days in the advanced line. The let
ter was dated November 7th, only four
days before the armistice took effect,
and is the letter of latest date, so far
as is known, to be received in Annap-
oils. Both of the soldiers were un-
hurt through the fighting. and it is
highly probable that the 115th did not
get in the final drive.
The indications are that the 115th,
after 81 days in the advanced line,
went into rest camp about October rs,
and did not leave subsequently. Those
receiving letters written after this
date. can feel assured of the safety of
the writer's.

in this latest William Fox submarine

swimming and high-diving stunts,

been applied to this feature picture so
that thrill follows thrill in constant
crescendo, until Miss Kellerman at
tains hair-raising climax with her
dive of So feet from a high wire into
the breakers below
This comes as a logical part of the
story, where the heroine is escaping
from lofty tower by walking wire
cable across chasm, when the villain
cuts the slender strand. and at the
same time the tower is blown up. 1t
is a thrill worth going miles to see,
