''7heyKick, but They Pay!''
And Soda Men Are EIuted
Fountain Proprietors Confident Business Will Not
Suffer, for the Volume Is Big Usual
After the First Ten Days of Federal Tax

any MORE" laughed the boy at Lig
gett- iker-Hegeman fountain. 81 tell
them it is not war tax, but prohibi-
ton tax. That makes 'em madden yet.
They say it is bad enough not to be
allowed real drink, but to have tax
for the privation is the limit"
Pennies Chief Annoyance
According to other boys in a posi-
ton to know the public mind, it is not
the money, but the bother that annoys.
'If it was twenty cents instead of
seventeen they would pay willingly"
said one expert "They hate to be
bothered with pennies. Nobody ever
has two pennies and it causes delay to
wait for change. If the law allowed us
to add an additional five cents, two
cents for the tax and three to save the
would like it better,
"As for the actual effect of the tax
on our trade, we can see no difference.
1 don't know how it will be in small
towns, where the soda fountain trade
is midafternoon or evening trade,
and where children are the best GUS
toners. In New York, however, espe-
cially downtown, the busiest hour of
the day for US is the noon hour and
5 o'clock, when people need little
lunch before starting on their hard
trip home.
Many Eat at Fountains
people come to the soda fountains
for their luncheons, taking a milk
drink, sandwich and an ice cream, or
else they get their main luncheon
somewhere else and come here for
desert. Thousands of persons visit
the soda fountains to avoid paying a
tip, to avoid the confusion and smell
of cooking in cheap restaurant, and
because they save time here.
"For such soda-lunch places the tax
is an injustice. People can go to the
tea rooms or hotels and get their ice
cream without paying a tax. For the
stenographer and the bank clerk, who
make up the bulk of the city trade,
however, the extra tax seems unfair
and heaped upon the pocketbooks of
those who can least afford to pay
However, they pay. Business has
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1919-05-11

This is the new philosophy of the
soda fountains, born of the soft drink
tax. At the end of the ten days the
tax has been in effect. soda fountain
proprietors of New York seemed reas-
sured that their business was not
going to be affected disastrously by the
additional one cent per ten cents
worth of sweets, although they are Wig
orously circulating petitions asking for
the repeal OF the tax and are beginning
to have vague doubts as to the tempers
of their cashiers.
"The customers growl lot, but they
buy just as much ice cream soda as
ever" said the manager of one Of the
Mirror stores. SIT is the girl cashiers
who really are bearing the burden of
the tax. 1t just doubles their work,
for they have to keep the soda check
separate from the tax check, and it
means handling two sets of tickets
where they had only one before. I
really don't know how the poor girls
will manage when the summer rush be-
gins"
Adds to Gaiety Of Life
For the white-aproned brotherh God
that mixes the drinks, however, the tax
has added much to the gaiety of life
in the witty and morose repartee of
outraged customers. 1t was an unro-
mantle career in the old days, forever
brewing sweet stuffs for perfect
strangers. Now all men are friends
over their straws, a friendship in
which the clerk generally is included,
and many bright boy, mixing lemon
phosphate, has for the first time a
chance to take his part in the great
American game Of snappy repartee.
"They all grumble and say the war
is over so why should they be taxed

Records Are Verified


An elaborate system of verifcation
of records had to be built up as re-
suit of this confusion. This caused
delay and personal letters or messages.
going through in three or four days,
sent by injured men themselves or
their friends were received by relatives
far in advance of the official report.
Reports in the War Department show
that at the time of the armistice the
American forces had 10000 men rated
as missing in action, exclusive of
known prisoners of war. The British
list was $4,000 and the French 100000.
BY February l, 1919, the American miss
ing list had been reduced to SOIL, and
by March l to 4,50O.
1t is expected that when the French
finish checking up French hospital rec
ords 300 or 800 more will be taken
from the American missing list as hav-
ing been located through French hos
pitfalls. These records probably will
not be available before next fall.
