not it bears a tax as a luxury. Conse-
 quently the merchant is liable to prose
 cution if he profiteers in the sale of ar
 ticles named in the Lever act as neces-.
 Saries
 N2r Whitmore also asked the dis trict attorney whether in determining
 the cost of an article to dealer, the in
 voice price should be considered disre- garding any reasonable cash discount which may have been allowed and taken for prompt payment. He said that many
 merchants consider cash discounts as an offset to the interest cost of borrowed
 money which permits them to discount their bills. On the contrary. says the commissioner, the interest paid on bor- rowed money is usually carried as an item of expense as a part of the regular
 overhead cost of doing business and as such is presumably allowed for in the rather large percentages of profits, ordi-
 narily considered reasonable for the re- taller to charge.
 Judge Smith, in giving an opinion as to this question says he believes it is fair to consider the invoice as an element in determining the cost without regard 1 to any reasonable discount for cash, he may actually take in the orderly move 1 ment of trade, and the commissioner has I ruled that discount up to per cent. may be considered as within the reasonable 1 limit
 Another question as to whether it is proper for the retailer Of ready to wear clothing, who makes no individual charge | for alterations, to add to the cost of his clothing, the average cost of his altera- | tions.
 Judge Smith says he sees no impro- priety in the merchant including in the 1 estimated cost the fair average per centage of cost of alterations.

 act, the opinion, being asked for by Mir Whitmore, because of questions raised by some retail merchants. The Lever act concerns itself with the supply, dis tribution and movement of foods, feeds, wearing apparel containers designed or intended for containing foods, feeds, fer tilizers and fuel, including fuel oil and other things, which in the act are de- scribed as necessaries. There is another articles named in the Lever act are tax led as luxuries As for instance, wo- mems silk waists retailing for over $15 are taxed as luxuries, at 10 per cent. on the amount over s15. Similarly, hos iery, retailing at over S2 and mems hos ery, retailing at over s1 and neckwear, retailing at over $2, are classed as lux uries and are subject to the luxury tax. Inasmuch as the United States had tax the question was whether merchants were liable for profteering in these same articles described as necessaries in the provisions of the Lever act
 United States Attorney Smith in his opinion to Commissioner Whitmore holds that merchants are liable if they charge an excess profit. Judge Smith in answer to the question submitted says that under the Lever act, as amended October 22 1919, in Section 1. it is to be carefully fully noted that the word ''necessaries therein appearing is not the generic nee essaries. Section 1 concerns itself with the supply, distribution and move ment of foods, feeds wearing apparel etc, and the act says, hereinafter in this act called necessaries.' In other words. the opinion says, the word nee essaries in the Lever act is a technical word meaning under the very provisions of the act, the catalogue of things named in Section 1. Inasmuch as it is contain ed, in, that list, wearing apparel is nee essary under the Lever Act whether or

SHOW LOCATION OF WATER
Signs on Painted Desert in the South
west Guide Travellers to the
Precious Liquid.

Travel off the beaten paths in the
famous Painted desert of the South
west would be dangerous matter
were it not for the stone sentineS set
up by the Navajo Indians TO direct the
stranger travelling through that cOun-
try, where once there was water in
plenty, but where now are only the
dry beds of rivers
These sentines are piles Of rocks,
as high as man, located on rises of
ground where they may be readily
seen, In the body of the monument
is placed n projecting rock which Is
arranged to point the direction TO the
nearest spring or waterhole. If one
follows the direction indicated, al
though he may have to proceed con-
siderable distance, the precious wa
ter will always be found.
Frequently it is only very weak
Seep supplying no more than a few
cups in an hour. Or II may be pool
located deep in the recesSes of n
rocky ledge ana collected from the
SHOWS of the past winter. Sometimes
It is situated in an nut-of-the-way
place and then there may be two, or
even three smaller monuments erect,
ed along the route designated.
Also along the way there may be
arrows cut in the rocks or crooked
grooves symbolzing the windIngs OF
brook or signs Of various kinds
which will attract attenti Il. These
directions all help to make the way
palmer and reduce the chance of the
traveller becoming confused.
