SODAS AND EVERYTHING WILL
BE TAXED AFTER MAY FIRST;
JUST TAKE A LOOK AT LIST

An attempt was made to pass bill
repeating them before Congress ad-
jorned. but it was one of the bills
talked to death in the filibuster. II is
likely that the luxury taxes will be
repealed during the coming special
session. but until then wen have to
pay 'em.
They call these luxury taxes" but
the commodities taxed are by no
means all luxuries. Congress intended
the taxes to fall on teh rich and the
weil-to-do people OF the country. but
some of them will fall Just as heavily
on the great 90 per cent OF the popu-
lation represented by the middle
classes and the poor.
Take. for instance, the tax on medi
cine. Starting today you'll have to
pay tax of / cent for each 25 cents
worth of proprietary medicines you
buy. whether they are pills. tablets.
powders. syrups. tonics. piasters.
salves or ointments. II you pay 81
for bottle of medicine. you'll pay 4
cents tax.
The same tax will apply to tooth
powders. hair dyes. hair restorers,
toilet waters. perfumes and other
toilet articles.
The tax on other 'luxuries" is not
So heavy as that on medicines, toilet
articles and beverages. The reason for
this is that. while the tax is 10 per
cent. il is imposed not on the entire
price OF the article taxed. but on that
part Of IL in excess of specified
amount.
For instance. carpets and rugs are
taxed 10 per cent on the amount you
pay over s5 square yard. That is
IL you buy 10 square yards OF carpet
at SIS q square yard. or $50. you will
pay no tax. But II you pay So square
yard for 10 yards, or $50. you win be
taxed on that extra dollar yard.
Thus you win pay selo a yard. or

Whether Eddie uses a foreign sub
stance on the ball, a long range can
non, a machine gun or a peashooter
to get the ball over the plate is still
a question the wise birds are discus

Cicotte has picked on every club in

When Edward shaded Ernie Shore OF
the Yankees at Chicago on July 20 III

vet hung up his 18th win of the sea-
son.
While piling up those Is victories,
Cicotte had lost but four.
He licked Cleveland, Philadelphia,
New York, Detroit and Boston three
times. He licked the Browns twice and
the Mats once-probably hating to take
candy from a baby.
The Indians proved the main stumb-
ling block in his march. They hung
two defeats on his eye during that time.
The Browns and Washington slapped
him for the other two defeats.

Here is Vince Murray, alias Rusty"
Murray, who has been playing baseball
for many years, In fact for years be-
fore we were able to twaddle and en-
gage In the national game. However,
that's only history. To get down to
~present-day stuff II is fair to say that
he will give IS per cent OF the younger
players a brilliant race in any position
that he plays on the diamond.
Rusty Is a capable pitcher with a
brilliant assortment of curves, plays a
nice fielding game at first base and also
n surprisingly active game at short
stop. Murray's bat work has been help
ful to the BOILER Workers In many on
tests and II is doubtful IL the pennant
winning club In the Dixie leasue could
do better in drawing Murray as one of
the surplus men they are allowed to
carry In their pennant fights after the
league race Is settled, Murray easily
ranks as one of the most dangerous and
consistent batsmen In the amateur
ranks
