The Tobacco Industry
and Taxes

The aggregate tax paid by the
tobacco business is with one exception,
income tdreS, the largest item Of in
ternal revenue the federal government
receives. Last (fiscaD year it amounted
to $309,0l4,05084.
OF this enormous amount of money
the cigarette industry paid S182715.-
1858, or nearly two-thnds Of the
total tax paid by the entire tobacco
business.
The Immediately important point
of the foregoing is the following We
believe you will appreciate that when
nearly fifty cents of every dollar paid
by you for cigarettes goes to the gov
eminent, you must receive in cigar
cites a value in return for your money
that is rarely given in any commodity,
That the public generally appreci-
ates this great value is shown by the
enormous increase in the consumption
of cigaettes.

at the shore resorts and ponds in
the country because Of their peDbly
bottoms make bathing shoes a COM
Portable necessity.
There is nothing so comfortable
as mentioning in knickers. The
free, roomy feeling around the legs
makes lying on the beach, hiking
mountain trails or wandering
through country lanes pleasure.
Three smart style combinations
which include knickers have been
seen at all vacation resorts this
season: The blue coat with white
l1nickers, the white shirt and white
Knockers, with a blue sleeveless
jumper, and a full sleeve jumper
with blue crash linen Knockers.
The sensible man will wear ties,
hose and shoes to harmonic with
any of the above materials. Those
who desire a trihe more formality
will find comfort and good appear
ance in the full linen suit, the
pongee and the mohairs.
Be sure to have a carton of
matches in your bag. Sometimes
they are as scarce at summer re-
sorts as portions Of dessert.
Take along your favorite pipe,
can of tobacco, or plenty of your
particular brand Of cigarettes.
Country stores do not carry varied
stocks, and It's like shaving cream
you get accustomed to one brand.
If you're carrying golf clubs, stick
an umbrella in the bag, too. Uncle
Jupiter Pluvius knows no vacation.
The "pull-oyer" sweater seems to
have been accepted by men as
necessary these days. In principle
it goes over the head, even as the
old-fashioned "turtle-neck" sweater,
but is fashioned OF the lighter
woods. Its V-Neck. edged with con-
trasting color. gives the wearer
certain smartness, but not at the
expense of cGmIort or pr2cticality.

Cigarettes

IVKTE call particular attention to
w the statements made in the
advertisement adjoining this
editorial column.
This advertisement, the purpose of
which is to win new friends for Lucky
Strike cigarettes, incidentally en-
phasizes the matter OF high taxes on
cigarettes.
To those who are intimate with such
matters there is, of course, no sur
prlsing. statement made.
To the general public, though, we
believe it will be surprising to learn
that nearly hall of aDhat they pay for
cigarettes goes to the government for
tGreS.
The internal revenue stamp on u
package of twenty Lucky Strike Gig
arettes costs you six cents. On a tin
of one hundred the revenue stamp
costs yo1S thirty cents.
So nearly fifty cents out of every
dollar you spend for cigarettes i
spent bg gou for taxes.
This is certainly the heaviest tax
on an article Of daily and universal
consumption.

Taking Peep Into Mans Vacation Bags

WHAT wearing apparel shall
w take on my vacation? August
is considered the hottest month Of
summer. Vacations are most de-
siraBle then, and this year the late
spring automatically moved many
vacation periods ahead; therefore,
it is agreed that August, more than
any other month, will see large
registrations in Relaxation and
Diversion.
What clothing is necessary both
ers many men the night before they
get started for the seashore, counI
try or mountains. How many times
have you neglected to take suf-
fcient clothes? How many times,
have you brought back apparel
you didn't need? There's a happy
medium.
Take pencil and paper; visualize
your activities while on the vaca-
ton. Consider the necessary things
in the way of wearing apparel for
these respective activities. Have
the right things at the right time,
and when you return, the contents
of the bags can go directly 20 the
laundry and the tailor for washing
and pressing.
AS you scan your present list OF
friends undoubtedly many names
are there because of a simple vaca-
tion introduction. The man with
an eye for the future will readily
understand the value Of friends in
business, and many dollars have
been saved or put to good adyan-
tage' through valuable contacts Gre
ated at vacation resorts. Good
clothes, worn well, play an impor-
tant part in inspiring friendships.
