HARD TIMES IN
 YWO0D

l A Hollywood Diamond Broker sends us a few samples; some Rings he is anxious to turn into
 Cash as he is overloaded with Mer- chandise and his local Movie Gus i toners seem only interested in bar gains in Ham and Eggs.
 Our examination shows that his samples are considerable Bargains as Production Prices are firm at twice the money and will stay firm. The South African Government has forbidden nearly all mining until the depression distress Diamonds are reabsorbed. This action of the South African Government is a wonderful thing for everybody who owns diamonds, for those who want to sell and also those who want to buy. The seller can tell you what you must pay for new unusued goods of similar quality and the buyer knows that any less than this is temporary condition that will pass as son as normal demand returns. Unfortunately for those who must sell now, there are others in the same distressed condition, in numbers. out of proportion to the demand and the forced selling has made a temporary buyers market.
 The above seems more true of certain sections of the country than others. In Hollywood it seems par ticularly so, as the disillusioned Sheiks and Queens have sold out and gone back in such large num- bers Fur Coats and Diamonds have become quite a drug on the local market Extreme as usual, Holly wood swung from the biggest buy CTS to the biggest sellers. The mar ket held firm for a long while but has finally broken under the con- tinued selling.
 Their loss is your gain if you are promptly interested, as we will return these goods in a few days, of they are not sold. One is a Mans Ring in a heavy handmade mounting worth about fifty dol lars in itself. It contains a fine white perfect stone about half carat size usually selling for two hun dred. You can have the whole outfit for one hundred dollars if you are prompt.
 Another is Lady's Ring usually selling for about one hundred and fifty or more, now yours for sev- enty dollars If you are interested in other sizes, talk to us about it and we will see what we can get for you. There is no obligation to buy as the goods can be returned if done promptly.
 In reply to those who will won der why we do not buy these for ourselves if they are so good, we will say that we have as much investment as our local trade will permit. We think that those who buy these probably wouldn't buy a Diamond otherwise and a small commission is better than nothing, thank you. AS usual, all business will be strictly confidential if you so desire.

The Guggenheim Awards.
(New Work Herald Tribune.)

The John Simon Guggeneheim Foundation all ready has many claims to the title of Americas most cheering enterprise. The annual award of fellowships announced by the Director, Henry Allen Moe is if anything more stimulating to the fancy than usual There is larger proportion of work CTS in the arts and throughout the list fine dis regard for the conventional chiselers of funds, foundations and fellowships. There is romance in the thought that one of our great mine owners should grub-stake these young adventurers in their search for the fine gold of the spirit. Many will doubtless come back empty handed few will strike rich veins from which to take, in years to come, great treasures to be shared with all.
 The foundation is to be applauded for it's in- sistence on the value of spiritual affairs for it's liberal Judgments on the suitability and needs of candidates as well as for the entire freedom which it allows them when appointed.
 The mounting list of fellows already carries im- portant names, which, the years go on, are likely to be on every tongue.

New Taxes Hit MI. Citizen rs Times
From Morning Shower to Night Club

of home-brew or q glass OF home
made wines cents a pound Tux on
malt sirup, 20 cents gallon tax on
grape concentrate.
22-If he doesn't like homebrew or
wine, maybe he likes mineral or table
water with his meals cents a gallon
tax on mineral water or table waters
costing over 10 1-2 cents per gallon.
23-He turns on his radio or COM
bination radio-phonograph for little
music with his dinners per cent
sales tax on the set, per cent tax on
photograph records.
24-He decides to go to movie
10 per cent tax on theatre tickets
costing more than 40 cents. Gwen If
the theatre manager gives him pass,
he must pay the tax to Uncle SAM
25-Leaves movie and goes to night
club-when he gels his check for re-
freshments, service, etc., 10 per cent
of this amount is arbitrarily consider
ed an admission" charge and taxed
at 1-2 cents on each 10 cents or
fraction thereof (where said "admis-
sion" charge figures more than so
cents.)
After all these taxes, Mr.. Taxpayer
can go home and go to bed. The bed,
at least, is tax free-but he will still
pay 8 per cent on the electric light
he uses while undressing.
In all history, there probably is no
more far-reaching piece of legislation
touching the lives of so many people
in so many ways every day-than the
gigantic 1882 peace-time tax bill
Nor have there been many pieces of
legislation so complicated or alb
struse-crammed with so many fine
interpretations and hair-line distinc-
tons.
Originally, there was tax of 10 per
cent on gold used in teeth, such gold
being included in the classification of
precious metals used for ornamental
purposes" But protests by the ma
TONS dentists resulted in this tax be-
ing rescinded several weeks after the
law was passed. The law specifically
exempted gold used in eyeglasses.
Soap sold for use in the kitchen or
laundry is tax free, but If the same
soap is sold for toilet purposes 1t is
taxable at per cent.
Likewise, there is 10 per cent tax
on boxing gloves, but no tax on punch
ing bags. Boxing gloves are sporting
goods; punching bags are classed as
gymnasium equipment" which is tax
free).
Miladys f,lrs also are taxed.
A night club party cannot prorate
the check so as to dodge the tax by
increasing the exemption, for Uncle
Sans law prohibits this. But If a
man goes to a night club, eats his
meal and leaves before the show be-
gins-or is seated where he can neither
see nor hear the entertainers-he does
not have to pay the tax on amuse-
ments.
