BIZ snscial Correspondenf.

TRENTON, May 12-As a result OF
his recent inspection of the Govern
ment Base Hospital at Colonia, TINS
state, Governor Edge today declared
the scientific rehabilitation WORK
among disabled soldiers affords an
excellent example for the work which
is contemplated by the Rehabilitation
Commission of this state which Is 10
have supervision over the same bet
terment plans for crippled Industrial
workers, whose numbers, the execu-
tive declared, vastly exceed those OF
the soldiers similarly affected.
What impressed me most, saiu
Mr.. Edge, "as I walked through tne
wards and vocational shops or the
hospital was the splendid morale OF
these brave soldier boys. GOOD eneer'
despite their affliction, Is reflected in
the face of everyone OF them. They
have made their sacrifice. Nothing ~
too good for them. And might add
that It is most gratifying to note that
Major Albee and his efficient stan
are doing all that can be done TO re-
habilitate and re-educate them. They
can and are being prepared for use
full living in spite of the serious nan
dfcap of the loss of arm or limp, or
other misfortune"
THE Governor made the inspection

DUFFY TELLSO
sOF 7 Drink TAX
Collector Explains How Reve-
4 nue. Law Operates in Pur-
chase of LuxurieS

In order to dispel any doubt or con-
fusion that may exist as to the nature
and collection of the tax upon soft
drinks. ice cream and similar articles
sold at soda fountains and like places
of business, Collector Charles ". Duffy
of the 9Th District, N. j., voices the
following suggestions and tentative
rules hoping to give to the purchaser
and vender a clearer conception of
their duty in cooperation with the
government in the payment and col
lection of this tax.
The tx went into effect May 1st,
1919, and Is defined as one cent on
each ten cents or fraction thereof of
the amount paid for any drink COM
monty known as soft drinks COM
pounded or mixed at such place of
basiness, or for ice cream soda, ice
cles of food or drink when consumed
in or in proximity to the place Of
business where purchased. For in
stance If you buy a five cent drink 1t
will cost you six cents or one cent
war tax, on a ten cent drink the tax
will $50 be one cent. on fifteen cent
drink, two cen ttaarwx2
drink two cent war tax, etc. But II
you treat your best girl to fifteen
cent drink and have the same priced
drink yourself, the tax in on the COM
bfned cost of thirty cents or three
cents lax; whereas If you purchase
q FIFTEEN cent drink and later decided
to have another fifth cent drink. you
would pay a tax Of VITO cents on each
purchase of ofur cents tax in total. 1t
is a punishable demeanor for several
persons to pool their purchases If
done for the eScress purpose of evad-
ing payment of tax
Sales of soft drinks. Ice cream. etc,
are not taxable when made in the reg
al lx.c4 at hnto oI
restaurant, cafeteria, lunch room, or
club house, unless such articles are
sold separate and apart from meals.
If you carry home a pint or quart
of cream it is not taxable. neither are
the sales of soda, ETC., by religious,
educational or charitable societies, on
special occasions only, as church fes-
tivals, social parties. etc.
In cases where the manufacturers
tax on beverages has already been
levied, such as ginger ale. root beer,
moxie, mineral water. etc. when serv
ed from the original container, no
tax is payable.
The law prescribes that daily rec
ords shall be kept by the proprietors
showing separately the amount re-
ceived for each class of taxable tram
sactions Grouped according to the
amount of sale) and the price there
on:. In case the proprietor Of soda
fountain, ice cream parlor or similar
places of business does not use an ad-
equate cash register or check system
from which daily records may be kept,
q separate receptacle shall be SO ar
ranged or subdivided into compart-
ments suitable for holding the differ
ent amount of tax collected in order to
facilitate the compilation of the daily
and monthly records of tax collection.
Copies of printed regulations and
forms for reporting sales will soon be
ready for distribution from the Office
OF the collector.

Z INJURED, CARS
ARE DAMAGED IN
AUTO ACCIDENTS
Police Fail to Locate Car That
That Injured Two
Near MetuChen

While changing tires last night
about 8 O'Clock in front of the Lin
coin Garage near Metuchen, Johr
Hartinter and Robert Ordel, both of
Brooklyn, were struck by large
touring car which was proceeding to
ward Metuchen at q fast rate. The
men were picked up Immediately and
1t was seen that they were both badly
injured. They were rushed to st. Pet
er's Hospital in New Brunswick where
1t was ascertained that Hartinter had
sustained O broken leg and Ordel was
suffering from severely lacerated
face, also abraisons.
The car which hit the two men did
not stop after the collision but put
ting on speed, got away from the
place so quickly that the license num-
Der could not be secured. 1t was per-
ceived. however, that the car had
smashed its right front fender in the
crash. so police headquarters of all
cities and towns in that vicinity were
notified to be on the watch for the
car. No trace of the auto has been
gained as yet by the police.
According to witnesses of the ac-
cident, the two men had drawn their
car to one side of the road off the
macadam pavement and were busily
engaged in replacing a tire which had
peen punctured. Iney were on the
side of the car next to the road bu,
-tere not in the path of passing We
4 leles. Then, suddenly. the large
Splack touring car shot past rapidly
and knocked both the men down
1t is thought that the car turned off
and went on the New York road be-
fore it reached this city since all pa
trolmen here were given a description
of the auto and told to watch care
fully for 1t.
Head on Collision.
Crashing in a head on collision at
the corner of Cornell and Washington
streets Saturday night, a car owned
by Michael Zylka, driven by John
Sarazak, and a large bakery truck
from West New Brighton operated by
Robert N. Kraus. were both badly
damaged. Sarazak was proceeding in
an easterly direction on Washington
street and was just about to round
the corner when Kraus, who was COM
ing south on Cornell street turned into
Washington, and the cars were SO
close then that an accident was un-
avoidable. The occupants of neither
car were hurt but both vehicles were
damaged considerably.

PARIS, May 1.-THE Council of
-Four of the Peace conference met this
morning and took up consideration of
the replies to be made to the latest
German notes-those regarding labor
matters and business of war.
The peace conference leaders are
| reported by the newspapers to have
decided yesterday upon the terms OF
the reply to be made to the two notes
sent to President Clemenceau of tho
| peace conference on Saturday evening
1 by Count Won Brockdorff- Rantzau.
/ (Other advices from Paris today state
that the Council of Four took up this
question at today's meeting.)
The first of these notes asked that
there be a reciprocal policy adopted
as to the repatriation of prisoners and
requested that the details of the trans
fer be placed in the hands OF COM
| mission. In his second note. the
head of the German peace delegation,
advanced counter project as to inter-
national labor legislation.
According to the newspapers the
basis of the second note is labor
charter inspired by the conferences at
Leeds and Berne, and they argue that
the purpose is to create among social-
lists an opinion favorable to Germany
| by putting in direct collaboration the
working classes and the present gov
ernment of that country.
Baron Sonnino, the Italian foreign
minister. held a conference today with
Col. E. NJ. House of the American
peace delegation. The conferees went
over the italian situation with a view
of reaching a basis of adjustment be-
fore the Austrians arrived.
The conference took place at q
luncheon at which Col. House was
the Italian diplomats guest.
The French officials have become
embarrassed by a demand made by
the Austrian authorities that direct
telephone and telegraph communica-
ton be accorded the Austrian peace
delegation during the negotiations,
Just as it Is now accorded the Ger
mans. The embarrassment arises
from the fact that the German peace
delegates are using the only wires
available and 1t is not considered
probable that they will agree to give
up any of their facilities to their for
mer Austrian allies.

In recent raid on the headquarters
Of a communist organization in New
York records were found which showed
that Is public school teachers were
members of the party. This is merely
one instance Of the inroads which radi-'
Gals are making into our school sys-
tenn, and it is high time that a careful
investigation were made of educational
institutions and general houseclean-
ing put into effect. Children cannot
be expected to become good American
citizens if teachers of the communist

mitted to teach. This is a matter
which, if not nipped in the bud, will
seriously affect the whole country.
Then there is another matter which
should receive attention-that of the
literature read in schools. There are
magazines which, even though appar-
emily harmless, are impregnated with
propaganda. Reading matter for pu-
pills should be scrutinized and objcc-
tionable publications eliminated.

The Berlin Vorwaerts says that the

scheme, Of course, to prevent the
arch-murderer from being brought to
trial and executed, or exiled to some
barren island. Napoleon 1.-The 1.Lit-
tie Corpora" sentenced to life inn
prisonment on the island of st. Helena
by the British, was gentleman and
a humanitarian compared with the
monster who is responsible for the
German nation being placed in her
present predicament. It cannot be de-
MED that William Hohenzollern IS
solely responsible for the downfall Of
this erstwhile mighty nation. Had
the people thrust him from the throne
years ago Germany today would be
one Of the most prosperous nations Of
the earth instead Of being curtailed ii
area and burdened with debt and
taxes which will virtually enslave her
people for century or more. But
Germany has awakened to the situa-
ton and her thrifty people will eventu-
ally dispersc the existent difficulties.
