Dl. G. G. Ash, of this city, who spoke
on Communicable Diseases" He brought
out the many facts that result from
/ these diseases classed under that head,
among them being the two main factors
! that destory young manhood. He cited
the fact that harm not only resulted
directly to the victim but to generations
that follow. Not only was it shown
that other physical deformities and in
sanity were made possible but that the
disease to unborn generations was
passed on. He stressed the fact that
every young boy and man owed it to
himself to keep his body physically and
I morally clean.
The next speaker was Dr. P. B.

Lawmakers Guide Given
For Added Taxation

| With the matter of taxation para
mount in the thoughts and conversation
with the majority of the taxpayers, and
the state lawmakers and national law
makers seeking new sources of revenue,
the following poem read on the floor
of rhe United States Senate the other
day by Senator Schall of Minnesota,
will be appreciated by most of us who
are about to reach the same conclusion
as offered in the following verses:
TAX the people, tax with care,
TO help the multimillionaire-
Tax the farmer, tax his fowl.
Tax the dog, tax his howl.
Tax the hen and tax her egg
And let the bloomin' mudsill beg.
Tax the pig and tax his squeal,
TaX his boots, run down at heel;
Tax his horses, tax his lands,
Tax the blisters on his hands.
TAX his plow and tax his clothes,
Tax his rag that wipes his nose;
Tax his house and tax his bed,
Tax the bald spot on his head.
Tax the OK, tax the ass,
Tax his Henry" tax the gas;
Tax the road that he must pass,
f%!lu lHethS l-li.i u lNSi . or lHe grass.
Tax his COW, and tax his calf,
Tax him if he dares to laugh
He is just common man,
So tax the cuss just all you can.
Tax the laborer-be discreet
Tax him walking on the street
Tax his bread and tax his meat
Tax the shoes clear off his feet
"Tax the pay roll, tax the sale,
Tax his hard-earned paper kale
Tax mis- pipe and tax his smoke
Teach him government is no joke.
Tax their coffns-tax their shrouds.
Tax their souls beyond the clouds.
Tax the farmer, tax his flocks;
Tax the servants, tax their socks.
"TaX the living, tax the dead;
Tax the unborn, ere they're fed.
Tax the water, tax the air
Tax the sunlight if you dare.
Tax them all, and tax them we'll.
Tax them to the gates of hell
But close your eyes so you can't see
The coupon-clipper go tax free"

Ne1y Technique Used in
Gotham Gang Killings

died with the lead of As caliber auto
mates.
Four men had died before Scarpato
for that killing in the seventeen
months since Joe the Boss" was
given a gaudy gangster's funeral-an
outstanding one in that a great floral
cross, bearing the portent initials
"A. c." ad the place of honor at the
grave.
Thanks TO Scarpato's own knowledge
of his impending doom at the hands
of the gangster vendetta, his identified
ton was quickly decentralization his
body was found-despite the removal
by his slayers of all Identification
marks from his clothing.
Scarpato had never been arrested
but after the killing of "Joe the Boss"
he walked into Brooklyn police head
quarters and declared:
They're going TO get me for this
killing. They think that i put Joe
the Boss on the spot. wish you'd
take my fingerprints so that my body
will be identified"
Another of the recent bag muir
der" victims was believed by the
police to have been slain in revenge
for his supposed connection with the
gang warfare outbreak eliminating in
the massacre of three 'kingpins" of
the Pittsburgh alcohol racket. He was
trailed to Brooklyn, dispatched in the
usual way and his sacked body
tumbled out of the door of moving
automobile in Brooklyn street.

In Just 4 Weeks

weighed 10 lbs. until taking one box
of your Kruschen Salts just weeks
ago. I now weigh 80 lbs. 1 also

I've never had hungry moment"
Fat folks should take one half tea

before breakfast-it's the SAFE,
harmless way to reduce as tens OF
thousands of men and women know.
For your health's sake ask for and

Accountancy

Very little is known of the origin
of accounting as profession. The
first association of which there Is rec
ord is the Collegio del Raxonali, found
ed at Venice in 1881. Professional ac-
countants probably existed in Milan al
an early date, as the government estab-
lished a scale of charges for them in
1742. The first Scotch professional &C.
countant was George Watson, born in
Edinburgh in 1915. In 1890 the British
directory listed five. The first formal
recognition given to accountants in the
United States was in the laws of New
York in April. 1890.

High Tax Spurs Spanish
Tobacco Running Fleets

place ones self within the Jurisdiction
of Great Britain, France, Spain, Span
ish Morocco, or of the international
city of Tangier.
The contraband of tobacco is oper-
ated more or less along the same lines
as that of rum-running off the eastern
coast of the United States. The to-
bacco is purchased legally in French,
British, or international territory and
loaded onto what we might call a
mother ship"
This boat, in turn, unloads its cargo
onto smaller tobacco runners, doing
so in many cases in the calm waters
of some bay in the islands of Ma
jorca, Menorca, or Ibiza (Spanish) ,
which lie conveniently situated just
across from the ports of Valencia and
Barcelona. Then, comes the task of
running the tobacco ashore and evad-
ing the vigilance of the carabineros,
whose posts are stretched all along the
coast.
The Spanish government has dele
gated to the "Compania Arrendataria
de Tobacos," one of the tobacco con-
cessionaries, the task of maintaining
a fleet of small boats to watch for con-
trabandists. But there are lot Of
difficulties in their way. In the first
place, the contrabandists have juris-
diction only over Spanish craft, and
hence, when a contrabandist is sighted,
it takes the precaution to put aloft a
foreign fiag-whether it's registry be
Spanish or foreign does not make any
difference.

Spain Confronted With Snug
Cling Problem.

Malaga, Spain.-The blue waters of
the Mediterranean, famous for the &C
tivities of pirates, corsairs, and con-
traband runners, still is the busy scene
of smuggling of tobacco.
Since the republic has raised the
taxes on tobacco, the price of ciga-
rettes legally acquired in Spain is
higher-hence the added incentive to
the fleet of tobacco runners.
In an area only as big as that Of
a handful of American states, there
is gamut of varying jurisdictions,
which handicaps the authorities and,
conversely, renders the task of the to-
bacco runner easier.
Within sight of Malaga on a clear
day lies Gibraltar, which is British.

of the Spanish port of Cartagena. In
