Soap Still Very Popular,
As Demand Has Increased

A desire for unusual cleanliness seems
to be displayed in tax payments Of more
than $2,200,000 on scented and otherwise
special soaps for toilet use. The demand
for these soaps increased rather than de-
creased during the year, despite the
economic depression and the apparently
general curtailment of all spending.
A total of about 20,333, 900 was paid In
taxes by purchasers of carpets and special
articles of furniture and certain kinds OF
wearing apparel. For the preceding year
the collections under this heading
amounted to only s17,000,00O. A general
reduction in the level of prices of furniture
and some kinds of wearing apparel last
fall and winter is believed to have stimu
lated purchases.
Twenty-four and one-third millions in
taxes was paid by persons who during the
year purchased jewelry. watches, clocks,
opera glasses and the like Dealers in
jewelry for several months have been
agitating for a repeal of this tax when
Congress revises the revenue laws.
The Government lost approximately
5000, 900 in taxes on sales of lip sticks, face
powder. rouge and other cosmetics and
perfumery during the year Tax col
lections for the year just ended on these
articles amounted to only $5,S07 900 as
compared with S6,42S,O0O in the preceding
year.

Government, In round numbers, s95,000,000
as taxes. The decrease during the period
was about $4,000. 900, showing plainly that
the purchase of tobacco was curtailed.
Cigarettes seem the most popular form
of indulgence in tobacco, judging from the
tax collections. Cigarette smokers paid
taxes totalling $135,O00000. while cigar
consumers got off with s52,000,000 The
snuff habit still is favored by thousands,
who paid $5,795,000 for their preference.
The tax collections on plain tobacco totalled
more than S59,O00,000 while those who
roll their own" cigarettes paid taxes of
$1,1S4,000 on the "makin's."
Sales of automobiles seem to have fallen
off only nineteen per cent. according to
the tax returns, despite the protestations
of the trade that business was poor.
In the last fiscal year the Government
received nearly s116oOO,OOO in automobile
purchase taxes, while in the preceding year
the total was s144.000,000. Automobile
purchase taxes are based on the price paid
and the reduced collections may have re-
suited in great part from the reductions
in selling price made by many manu-
facturers rather than on a smaller output.

that would let them out without a loss
Cuba felt the effects within few weeks.
An official Of the Department of Justice
estimated that losses of the sugar trade
ran to nearly 81 1000, 100000 within few
months. The loss was directly traceable
to the apparently sudden determination
of the American people to spend less for
candy and sweets.
Sales of sporting goods brought into the
national treasury approximately S20S4,000
during the year, an increase of more than
$1,000,000 over the preceding period.
Hunting knives, dirks, thermos bottles,
cigar holders and the like paid taxes total
ling roughly one-third Of million. On
cameras and Photographic goods the collec-
tions amounted to nearly s2,000000.
Hunters paid taxes of approximately
S3,700.000 for firearms and shells to fit
them. Sales of these commodities. how
ever, fell off largely during the year The
Government formerly obtained more than
SA000,000 in taxes on firearms and shells.

Revolutionary Drama Popular in Germany Now

But the American business men with
whom happened to be present resented the
play as a dangerous provocation to disorder
This was partly because the sympathies Of
the spectators with the weavers from

home of the mill owner and began throwing
around the red plush furniture people in the
boxes. with red plush furniture Of their own
at home. clapped as enthusiastically as the
masses up in the gallery.
play Of this sort would undoubtedly
provoke an uprising. my guests concluded.
Yet Hauptmann wrote this play back in the
nineties and It has been given fairly regu-
larly the last thirty years without provoking
anything. II THE Weavers" does not arouse
violence, the gloomy ending also does not
prevent IL. Such a play might have been
given as warning TO the workers in Saxony
this spring who under Max Hoelz. as mad
and foolhardy leader as any in 1s4S. at
tempted to bring about a world revolution
by blowing up villas.
The spectators Of Reinhardt's Large The
atre applauded the high dramatic points and
were moved by the human tragedy, but
entirely untouched by any political theory
they might choose TO read into H. They
sympathized with the hungry weavers de-
manding a living wage, were thrilled by the
shouts Of the workers for freedom, but also
understood the warning Of the old weaver
that by parading through villages they were
not freeing the working classes.
Story of 'Danton' Is Popular
As Page From Own Revolution
Roman Rolland's "Danton" Is the other
OF the two revolutionary plays which has
aroused the widest response from the Berlin
people. At moments the Germans feel them
selves living again a page of their own
revolution. The struggle between Danton
and Robespierre was reproduced in mina-
ture in the squabbles between practical
politician Socialists and fanatica' theoretical
Communists in the late German revolution

the rate of $7,500,000 a month.

partly responsible for this large total.

actions as to follow the development of the
drama itself.
The Weavers" was written by Gerhart
Hauptmann some thirty years ago. when he
was still more interested in men and the
struggle for life than in abstract emotions
and feelings. 1t deals with the uprising OF
the weavers in 1S4S, revolt in which his
grandfather had part.
Old as 1, u.s. the conflict is one as real
to-day as then Hungry workers pushed by
famine to despair followed a few reckless
leaders on mad march for freedom. They
destroyed the house of the mill owner.
marched from village to village singing
revolutionary songs and gathering recruits.
This uprising lasted until regular troops
arrived Against soldiers armed with guns
the pitchforks of the weavers made their
resistance mere chlld's play. The uprising
was promptly quelled and the leaders killed
or imprisoned. The weavers returned to
their squalor This might have been the
March uprising in Germany of this year.
As a whole THE Weavers" is hardly OF
an optimism to encourage workers TO go
and do likewise. The old Prussian censor
ship however held IL up more than year
before permitting it,
Hauptmann does not make the mill owner
attractive, on the contrary, he is a ruthless,
conceited. cowardly. grasping man, who In
danger thought simply of his own skin and
his money bags. At the same time he does
not try to idealize the leaders OF the revolt,
but paints them much as they probably
were: an irresponsible partly drunken band
OF weavers and army deserters whose only
excuse for leadership was foohardiness
The uprising Hauptmann pictured was
natural revolt against hunger, but purpose
less and blind it was bound TO fail.
