Several States collect taxes
on the m n u actured
product.
1t has been estimated that tobac-
co pays from one-eighth to one
sixth of the annual cost of the
maintenance of the federal gov
eminent. The industry can stand
no additional burden of taxation.
The Census bureau reports that
in 1929 tobacco was produced on
Ills farms in Connecticut invol-
wing 1871 acres and porducting
26,225,S27 pounds of tobacco.
Cong essman Lonergan also
opposed the proposed increase in
tax in life insurance from twelve
to thirteen and one-half per cent,
giving as reason for his objection
among other things the following:
Life insurance is a means of
family protection adopted largely
by the wage earning and small sa-
laried class and is the only means
In the majority of cases of any
approach to adequate provision for
their families in the event of death
over 80 per cent of life insurance
policies are carried by persons
earning incomes of less than So
600, it was demonstrated by an in
vestigation completed several years
ago. The income of these people
has undoubtedly shrunk since then.
Life insurance policyholders do
much to relieve the government of
burdens which it is now facing.
Yet. these policyholders are mo-;
granted the exemptions as to their

life insurance which apply to other
forms of savings. There is no
reason why they should be dis
eliminated against. Life insurance
has been a very helpful factor in
maintaining business stability dur
ing the recent troublesome times.
Congress, therefore, should be
loathe to impose any unfair bur-
dens on these life insurance policy
holders, for in the end this in
creased taxation is levied against
form of savings which the govern
ment should encourage, not pena-
lie.

Successful Perfume.

IT is impossible to determine what
makes a perfume a success. There
have been several successes within re-
cent years, some of them history max
ing. The artist in perfumes must have
the ability to understand the qualities
Of the feminine temperament. He
studies personalities as the portrait
painter or the sculptor does the face or
the figure. He must understand that
distinction consists in an interesting
variation from the average; something
that a woman may make peculiarly
her own. Much Of his art lies in en-
bodying these interesting variations in
fitting fragrances.
The making Of perfume is important.
Women, through the ages. have ac-
cepted 1t as factor In their lives. 1t
has played its part in the romantic
history Of the past. The beauty and
charm of Cleopatra were said to have
been enhanced by the perfume she
used. Even the sails of her barge eX-
hailed a strange and lovely fragrance.
Stories of Queen Elizabeths perfumed
gloves and her perfumsd cloak Of Span
ish leather have gone down in history,
as have those of the perfumed finger
rings OF the sixteenth century.

summer, imprisoned herself in a high
collar, laden with lace, beautiful to look
at and of unmistakable fine quality, but
Sclidly stiffened with whalebones, while
her waist was squeezed into wasplike
smallness by steel corselets and hot and
uncomfortable pads were worn to ac-
centuate curves. Women endured pain
fulness to such degree that their eman-
cipated bodies, after getting out OF this
harness, bore prints of it far into the
night. But horrible as this was, as un-
believable as it sounds, this was mild
beside the suffering women are subject
ing themselves to today.
THE strange thing is that women do
not realize what they "souffrir pour
etre belle" until long afterward. They
are so absorbed in the conquest Of this
elusive beauty that they apparently do
not have time to perceive the pains un-
til they are ended and can be felt no
more. Only then does the ridiculous
ness of the situation dawn upon them.
They are like the painters who must
leave their canvaSSs and go to the far
end of the spacious studio so as to con-
template their work from distance
and thus obtain a truer perspective.

meagerness of the bill of fare compared

entire paragraph of Italian dishes that
in the old days were one Of the most at
tractive and celebrated specialties Of the
maiSon had been done away with. There
was no macaroni or spaghetti or vermi-
celli or any of the dozens of kindred
farinaceous entrees dear to the Neapol-
tan heart and to many continental
ladies and gentlemen Of other countries.
Pastries and numerous sweets we're
offered no more; the bill of fare was de-
cidedly slim I'VE had to cut out all
the best things" said the head waiter.
Our smart female clients objected to
being tempted constantly by good things

loss of their slender line, and So to
please them, we eliminated the offensive

THE new Winter line seeks to define
