The popularity of new and second

coats were shipped from the United
States to Durham. They were valued at

The trade in secondhand and new
United States Army uniforms gained
considerable momentum following the
conclusion Of the World War, when the
surplus stock was sold to American firms
which then placed the material in world

These are controversial points on

Expenditures for building and public
improvements have been an age-old
matter of discussion. Years ago public
improvements were always looked upon
as species of pork barrel legislation,
but nowadays they have been urged as
a means of creating jobs for the un-

SPORTS To YIELD
S1O,OD0,0DO TAXES
House Bill Provides 10 Per
Cent Levy on Admissions
Over 46 Cents.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK. March 31.-American
sports, led by foot ball. base ball and
boxing, figure to contribute close to
100000 toward balancing the 1882
national budget, under the provisions
of the bill adopted by the House yes
terday for 10 per cent tax on all
athletic admissions over As cents.
College foot ball. heretofore exempt
from taxation, will be the heaviest
single contributor Even with pro-
spective shrinkage in gate receipts and
school games exempted, the gridiron
sport figures. all told, to collect from
500 600 600 to S30,000,000 at the turn
stiles and pay an approximate total tax
Of $2,500000.
In peak seasons the foot ball receipts
at such major universities as Harvard,
Yale, Pennsylvania, Michigan and
Southern California have exceeoed
81 100000 each.
Other Receipts Light.
Other college sports with the ex-
ception of basket ball and some OF
the big classics. such as the Harvard
Vale and Poughkeepsie reggatas and the
intercollegiate championship meets, do
not collect much in the way OF gate
receipts.
On the basis of last years. major
league base ball receipts, which were
close to SlO.OOO,00O and also untaXed,
the American and National League
clubs would contribute another 81 ,0OO,-
900 in taxes.
Minor league base ball figures can
only be speculated upon, but probably
another million would be derived from
this source. In comparatively few
towns are any admissions scaled at less
than a half dollar for base ball. Even
for the exhibition Spring games they
run as high as S1.50 for grandstand
seats.
Boxing, curiously enough, figures to
benefit from the new tax program, espe-
ciaily SO far as the buyer of the high
priced tickets and the promoter are
concerned. This would result from the
general application of a 10 per cent
Federal tax in place of the present
graduated levy of 1G per cent on SO to
SIS tickets and 25 per cent on all tickets
costing more than SIS.
Cheap Seats Hit.
"The new tax bill will hit the pocket
books of the boys who sit in the gal
leries or other cheap seats, while bene-
fitting the ringside patron" said a rep
resentative of the Madison Square Gar
den Corporation. For example, $40
seat now calls for So tax, 25 per cent
Federal and per cent State tax.
Under the new law the total would be
$3.50 a so per cent reduction"
The present high tax on boxing ad-
missions, which promoters regard as
oppressive, has had the effect of max
ing most of the big outdoor fight shows
risky, if not actually losing ventures.
Wrestling six-day bicycle faces, pro-
fessional foot ball, horse racing and
soccer combined likely would contribute
an additional 81 100000 in taxes.
From tennis and golf the benefits to
the public treasury on a 10 per cent
tax basis would be comparatively negli-
gible. except for a few of the big ma
tional tournaments. Last year the four
major golf championships drew only
about $4,000 altogether In gate re-
ceipts.

It's up to you to take two steps
to prevent "lost teeth" First, be
sure not to forget the address of
your dentist. Visit him twice a
year, anyway. He is a real friend
in need. Second, pick out a tooth
paste that does more than polish
your teeth. Forhan's Toothpaste is
a thoroughly good cleanser-none
better. But it takes care of the
gums too, and that is mighty i'm
portant, because you cannot have
healthy teeth in unhealthy gums.
DR.. R. J. Forhan worked 26 years
as a pyorrhea specialist, and his
exclusive formula cannot be OBJ
tanned by the public except in
Forhan's Toothpaste. Get ahead of
pyorrhea. Prevention is the only
way. Take it seriously and you
will not be sorry. Start today with

There is no "telling" about teeth.
A perfect set today! And tomor-

That is the way pyorrhea works.
1t may start when you are twenty
or thirty and it may be ten years
or longer before it begins to take
your teeth. But in the end, pyor-
rhea takes actually half the adult
teeth which are lost!
The trouble with pyorrhea is
that it seems a distant danger. 1t
may happen to somebody else
but you never think it will happen
to you. The fact remains that four
