OVERCHARGES OF EXCISE
TAX ALREADY REPORTED
Internal Revenue Bureau Believes
Most Of First Day 1nfrtngements
Are Accidental.

Already complaints have begun to
reach tho internal revenue bureau of
retailers charging more than the ac-
tual tax on expensive articles Of
clothing and other personal equip
ment, although the new taxes went
into effect only yesterday.
Reports so far indicate that most
cases Of overcharging were acciden-
clerks to acQuaint themselves with
provisions of the law. Officials were
prompted, however, to issue a re-
minder that overcharging a. tax may
render the dealer or clerk liable to a
fine of $1,000 and years imprison-
ment. Dealers were urged to study
the law, and the preliminary regula-
tions, which can be supplied by rev.
enue collectors.
In the case Of the excess taxes, 1t
was emphasized today that the tax
of 10 per cent is imposed only on the
excess of cost above a certain sum
specified in the law for each kind of
an article, and not on the entire sales
price.
Soda clerks also were urged to
ascertain that beef tea, coffee, sand
wiches, cake. ice cream in buckle is
and medicinal preparations often sold
at fountains are not taxable
A few complaints to the bureau re-
lated that customers were charged by
druggists more than the one cent tax
imposed on each 25 cents or fraction
of tho cost of toilet and medicinal
preparations.

WHAT WINS.

WHAT WINS.
It's the everlasting climbing that gets
you to the top,
And tho everlasting sticking to the
task you'd like to drop;
It's the grit and vim and muscle
In tho rough-and-tumble tussle
That will bring you home to victory
and the distant goal you seek:
It's the ever up and working,
Never lying down and shirking,
That eventually will land you on the
mountains sunny peak.
It's the patient perseverance to tho
plan which you have made
That will bring you through the dan
gers and the pitfalls which are
laid
It's the steady. constant driving
To the goal for which you're striving,
Not the speed with which you travel,
that will make your victory sure;
It's the everlasting gaining,
Without whimperiug or complaining
At the burdens you are bearing or
the woes you must endure.
It's the holding to a purpose and the
never giving in.
It's in cutting down the distance by
the little that you win;
It's the sure and firm endeavor.
Not the brilliant stroke and clever.
That shall bring you home to glad
ness and to days of Joy and song:
It's the iron will to do 1t,
And the steady sticking to II,
So whate'er your task. go to 1t! Keep
your grit and plug along!

rect by the department, which also
specifies that the gray trench hat
on a blue circle Of the SD has not
been superseded by the famous red
hand" but remains the correct de-
vice. The adoption of the red hand,
the department announces. is purely
unofficial, and was done only as mark
of the entente" between these colored
troops and the French division with
whom they served SO long.
Unofficial and unauthorized or not,
for every man of this division seen
here who wears the gray helmet at
least a score have been noted with the
red hand. and these include commits
stoned officers who live here and are
we'll known. In view Of this fact, The
Star is inclined to the opinion that,

nized until the last veteran of this
