Ways to Tax Bachelors

Cologne. July 30.-How TO tax a
bachelor for being a bachelor is puz.
zling a number of communities in the
Rhineland, especially in localities
where the authorities are for the most
part married men with families.
The little town OF Repelen, near
the Dutch border, decided simply TO
call a spade spade and declared
an out-an-out bachelor tax" of 1000
marks month. Young men between
is and % years OF age were permitted
a 20 per cent rebate, and complete i'm
munity was provided for such unmar.
ried chaps as had little or no income.
The latter clause wrecked the scheme
FOR II ran the town amuck OF the
FEDERAL finance ministry at Berlin
which ruled the income tax was a
sole and pet protege of the central
authorities. Therefore, the ministry
decreed, neither Repelen nor any other
German community could levy against
an individuals earnings
Hamborn profited by it's little
neighbor's experience and so dis
guised the tax that 1t comes under
the head OF per capita" assessments,
yet reads For Bachelors Only" be-
tween the lines. The Hamborn city
fathers wisely avoided making any
reference to mans income.
Other places are figuring on dodg.

their bachelors subject merely to a

meeting here today to consider the
suggestion of q committee OF Oma IA
business men, that 20 per cent re-
duction on export consignments of
wheat and flour be put into effect as
an emergency measure to stimulate

1t was indicated informally by sew

that the proposition was not en-
dorsed.
A communication embodying the
conclusions of today's conference has
been dispatched to the Oman com
mittee and will be made public there
tomorrow. Details of the outcome
Of the meeting were withheld because
of the desire of the rail chiefs that
the information be in the hands Of
their correspondents before being
made public.
Traffic representatives of the in
terested lines meeting here last Fri

This finding of the traffic men was

Today, Mermaids Song

New York, July 3o.-The ban on
stockingless mermaids was lifted at
Coney Island yesterday and hundreds
of girls with their legs bare poured
onto the beach.
Their arms, however, were not so
bare. A fad, believed to be original,
was seen when many of the girls ap-
peared with butterflies, bleeding
hearts, rising suns and other designs
tattooed to cover their vaccination
marks.
This latest craze of the fapper has
been brought about by the new
sleeveless gowns. the girls explained.
The order not to require girls to
wear stockings was issued by Capt.
James Gillen, who declared there was
no ordinance to cover the case. The
news was broadcast as II by radio and
in few minutes the stockingless
mermaids were romping on the sand.
