TAXING THE SALESMAN

T oiH Ddlly fln3nClal America.
 It seems absurd that salesmans s sample trunk should be taxed as a luxury, yet that is part of the inheri- tance that war bequeathed to busi- ness. Many other handicaps are placed on the man who leads the for lorn hope for the producer in a time of depression.
 He must pay the highest railroad fares of the present generation and the largest hotel bills. There are war limitations also still laid upon the amount of baggage he can carry. He must send part of 1t by an express dompany, and again he pays far heav- fer tolls than in the pre-war period. If he buys a sandwich as he runs to the station. instead of more sub stantial meal, he is charged 100 per cent more than in 1914.
 One necessity for the drummer is a substantial trunk if he is to avoid disasters and loss at the hands of the baggage smasher. The best is none GOO strong to resist the man-handling that heavy sample trunks often re- ceive. A good trunk costs real money. Like all other products ot l---or there were advances of more than 100 per cent during the war period. Prices have been maintained at higher level than many others, despite falling demand.
 Many salesmen were withdrawn from the road In recent years. One of the foremost needs of business houses now Is good salesmanship, an art neglected in the period of easy money and easy spending Newspa- pers carry more want notices asking for salesmen than for all other classes of male help combined. The government is urging producers to combine for more rapid marketing. The banks and federal reserve board urge liquidation of good worths bil- lions carried in storehouses. The big task is the salesman's. Yet we con tinue to add to his difficulties. When one of his trunks is~wrecked he must buy another at once or quit business, If a profiteer exacts more than $50 for the new trunk, the salesmans em- lployers must pay a luxury tax of 10 per cent on the excess taken from hem.

MEAT CUTTERS SAY DAUGHERTY TRYING
 ID HIDE PACKERS
Criticize Attorney General for Attack Upon Retai! Mer- chantS-Beef Trust Re-
 SponSibIe for Prices
By Associated Press

New York, December 2S.-The Amatsamated Association of Meat Cutters and Butcher workmen made public tonight letter to Attorney General Daugherty, asserting that fthe investigation he has ordered of the high prices charged by retailers looks like "a smoke screen to cover up the sins of the beef trust"
 The letter stated that the Attor- ney General had failed to acknowl- edge a previous communication urg- ing investigation and prosecution of the "big five" packing firms and their subsidiaries in New York for violation of the Sherman law by lim- fting the slaughtering of live stock through control of all available slaughtering space In New York and Jersey City.
 "We statedf further" the letter added, that by this control, the big five had been able to maintain prices at profiteering level. We urged you to institute an immediate investi- gation and prosecution and we of- fered to lay before you all the facts in our possession. We have received to date not even an acknowledgment of our letter, nor has any agent of the department of justice called upon us to investigate the charges | we have made.
 N "Ipstead we read In this morning s Spapers that you have publicly Enlarged the retail merchants of the country with the guilt of high food prices and have ordered William J. Burns to investigate the iniquities of mall shopkeepers.
 Coming at time when the entire [nation Is aroused over the attempts of the packing Interests to smash collective bargaining and make the public pay the bill in profiteering meat prices your attack on the re- taller looks like a smoke screen to cover up the sins of the beef trust and the friendly inactivity of your department.
 If action Is not taken by the de- partment of justice we shall be com pelled to conclude that justice is not to be obtained in this country through the duly constituted authori- ty of government"

WE AMERICANS CAN SING

Gilbert w. Gabriel, in Leslie's Weekly.
 Those who persist in thinking of the Metropolitan Opera house as an asgregation of foreign performers under a foreign impresario would be amazed, on looking over the pros pectus of the season w2ich has just begun. to discover how much native talent is being utilized, and in what important roles. Thirty-one sopranos are listed for the troupe, and "A or these are American. If here is not so big a proportion of Americans tenors and basses, 1t is because America has yet to develop many men who can sing robustly. act dramatically enough to face so large an audi torium. Grand opera demands the grand manner. and the soH o1 the American man is still comfortable only in it's street clothes.
 The straits of war were not Gen eral Manager Gatti- -Casazza's s only in centive toward the finding and de- veloping of native material. He has always held for American singers, and even--when he could discover them-American composers. We are not enough of creative entity as yet to satisfy him in the latter re- spect. But he has indeed found and raised to glory a number of Ameri- can interpreters of the first rank. The lesson was not a new one, to be sure.

UNCLE SAM NO EXPORT NOVICE

UNCLE SAM NO EXPORT NOVICE
 It has so long been the fashion to denounce and decry the mistakes of our exporters and foreign traders that sometimes we fail to give due credit to those who succeed against the heavy obstacles, according to The Nations Business. This lack of ap- preciation is shown not so much to the men of our own day, who can speak for themselves as to the pio- neers of the past, who are so far forgotten that it is frequently stated that the United States has just en-
 tered the field of foreign trade.
 Perhaps 1t may surprise those who make these statements of our recent discovery of South American trade oppor tunities, to know that citizens of the United States were doing busi-
 ness in Montevideo as far back SIS 1799, and in Bueons Aires at least as early as 1902. Our exports of fur niture to Argentina began in 1901 and a carriage of North American make" was rolling along the streets
 of Buenos Aires in 1910; and ever since 1906 the United States colony l there has celebrated the Fourth of July by public dinner. United | States citizens were active in Chile as early as 1908 and by 1910 there were enough of them in Rio de Ja- nciro for two of the "estimable young people, to be married.
 But our pioneering was not con- | fined in any way to South America. Fifty threc years before Perry ship from Salem went to Japan. By 1901 the American citizens in Manila were so numerous as actually to give parties and "genteel entertainments.

LAUGH IN A MIRROR

You can cultivate a pleasant. conta- geous and spontaneous laugh just as well as you can cultivate a good speaking voice. says Rhoda Vale in the Designer. But you must work for it. She says:
 'No doubt you hold an opinion Of every one else's laugh but your own; and unless you have a frank ana analytical friend or famously pleas ant laugh, you may never have sounds when raised in laughter. And yet it's part of your personality. and you ought to know and care.
 "A young business man who laughed spontaneously and heartily and contageously confessed that he had cultivated it.
 "'Ive learned to laugh he de- clared
 Once upon time didn't laugh easily, but I found many situations relieved by a good laugh at the right moment. I find it a mighty helpful business and social asset. And at the same time the mere act of laugh ing has made me more optimistic So it works well all around
 Give grin at yourself in the mir TOT and see what other folks see when you smile or laugh. If 1t isn't an ideal picture. consider what you can do to improve it.
 First of all, you can, of course, keep the teeth absolutely clean. They ought to be brushed night and morn ing with a good tooth cleanser paste. powder or liquid as you pre- fer. Then, they can be strengthened and filled and generally fixed up by the dentist. Yes, there will be den- tist's bills, but you will be invest ing in a good looking smile. You buy buy good looking smile.'

SOCIALISTS WISH OTHER PRISONERS
 ID BE PARDONED
Say DebS' Release Was Grudging Concession to Demand Too Strong to
 Be Resisted
By Associated Press

Chicago, December 23.-otto F. Branstetter. executive secretary of the socialist party, in a statement is- gene V. Debs from federal peniten- tiary in Atlanta, termed the commit tation of sentence "a grudging con cession to demand which was be- coming too strong to be longer re- sisted The statement follows:
 "We are naturally gratified. but not surprised, at the release of Flu gene Debs at this time. The increas- ing emphasis in the demands of or ganized labor and the growing senti- ment among all classes for his TO- lease made it certain that the admin istration could not much longer fail to do this act of simple justice.
 'The socialist party regrets that MT. Harding could not isee his way clear to release all other political prisoners at the same time. His fail- ure to do so makes the release of Debs and a few others appear as a grudging concession to demand which was becoming too strong to oe longer resisted. It would have been fine thing if MT. Harding had been big and liberal and patriotic enough to have gone beyond what he com sidered the actual demand and grant, ed executive clemency to all pris- oners convicted for alleged violation of the espionage act. The release of MT. Debs will not lessen the interest or the activity of the socialist party in the agitation for the release of all political prisoners and re-establish- ment of civil liberty in America"

TO WASH SHEER SILK CREPEs

By Katherine Clinton, in the De-
 signer.
 The difficulty of sewing and wash ing sheer silk crepe. . as Georgette and chiffon or of sewing materials that stretch and whose edges roll, as tricolette is the subject of many let ters I receive. There is a very sirr- pie way of handling these fabrics: Before cutting, pin or haste the goods to wrapping paper or newspaper, which prevents 1t from slipping. In sewing tricolette, hold it as much as it is possible to do so, In bunch on your lap or on a sewing table. To wash silk crepes, use warm water and a soap that is not too strong wlta I've. Do not rub but squeeze the gar ment through a good studs. Rinse several times; iron when partly dry on the wrong side and on the cross wise of the material. stretching a lit~ tie as you iron. Beaded Georgette should be washed in the same way. but in ironing lay the garment right side down on Turkish towel or pressing pad, so as not to break the beads in pressing.
