LOTS OF MANUALS.

Manuals have taken a new turn.
The volumes in the latest series as
issued by the government now dis
tinguish the taxability of apple pie
a la mode and chocolate sundaes,
not to mention the graduation of
soft drinks from milk, natural

simulate in hue and bOuuet their
predecessors of pre-war times.
OF course, Regulations As, about
income and profits taves, has be-
come every business mans wade
mecum. 1t is only the beginning of
an essential collection. II one owns
a gas or oil we'll. he gets a special
manual with 100 pages of scientific
data and charts, the whole bearing
the imprint of the government
printing office. The owner of a de-
partment store, or a notions shop,
seeks the volume which explains
luxury taxes. The man of wealth
who has gratified taste for pic
lures and contemplates selling a
few masterpieces to a friend of
similar inclinations must consult
the regulations for the tax on
works Of art or he will get into
trouble over the frame. When a
man purchases a gew-gaw he will
discover that the definition of jew
elry makes a Distinction between
things he wears ION his outside"
for the world to admire and things
he keeps in his pocket, and If he
is embarking upon matrimony he
will have the tax gatherers at his
elbow as he chooses the wedding
ring. Something of the distinction
between articles that go into the
pocket and those that do not will
trouble baseball players, whose
uniform trousers and steel-shod
shoes are taxable, but whose jer-
seys are free Of impost unless. they
are ornamented with special de-
vices. The really careful man, who
has gained a competence to leave
his family, will see that when he
dies he leaves among his effects a
set of regulations regarding the
inheritance tax to prevent his heirs
from becoming involved with the
collector.

At the Black Hawk.

If you were an heir to twenty
millions of dollars, which legacy
would be lost to you if you married
against the wishes of your family.
would you take a long chance and
marry ION the quiet?" This is the
problem that Agnes Colt was called
upon to solve in the new Para
mount photocomedy, ION the
Quiet" starring John Barrymore,
the celebrated comedian, which will
be displayed at the sBlack Hawk
theatre tonight.
1t all happened thus: Agnes Colt
is bequeathed twenty millions of
dollars by her father, she to re-
ceive that sum On condition that
she marry some man who will be
acceptable to her brother Horace,
executor of the late Mr.. Colts will.
Contrary to her brothers wishes or
knowledge, she weds Robert Ridg-
way, a rather wild young man ION
the quiet" Ridgway returns to
Yale, from which he had been pre-
viously expelled for improper con-
duct, with the understanding that
if he completed his course without
scandal, his marriage with Agnes
might come to pass.
But a man OF Ridgway's exuber-
ant temperament, such proba-
ton is torture, and when he kicks
over the traces, one burned de-
velopment after another each more
diverting that the other, follows.
When Horace finds his sister on
Ridgway's yacht, he believes the
family name will be furnished IN
less Ridgway espouses Agnes and
he demands that their wedding
take place instantly. Ridgway
agrees provided his bride enters
into possession of her inheritance
and this is agreed to. So they are
married a second time and all are
happy. The supporting cast is an
excellent one.
