FOR LIQUOR TAX
BY international News Service

By International News Service
Collection of liquor taxes which
for the next IL months probably
will exceed $425, 900, 900 is prov
ing more costly than other inter-
nal revenue, according to Treasury
figures today.
Based on trends of the first
four months of the current fiscal
year the cost of the collection of
liquor taxes for the IL months
will be about $2.44 per $10O.
For the 1884 fiscal period the
cost of collecting all internal
revenue was SLIT per $100, one
Of the lowest figures since the
war.
The appropriation for the 1885
fiscal year for enforcement of the
liquor laws and collection of the
liquor taxes was $10,886,974.
The substantially larger cost of
collecting liquor taxes is due
partly to the expense of inspect
ing distilleries and breweries and
Of investigating illicit brewing
and smuggling.

Bird admitted what he had
previously denied to me that he
was secretly married to Janet
Reade AS I stated here
Wednesday I didn't believe his
denial and Sunday he admitted
SheepiShly he hadn't told me
the truth. Somehow, I can't
seem to rise a fret against peo-
pie who fight shy of revealing
secret marriages, divorces or
prospective parenthood.
I guess it is their business

Which reminds me-the New

weekly, devotes a column edi.
torial to the letter published
here recently from Hendrix de
Leeuw and complains bitterly
that "what Hendrix de LeeuW
should know is that a tacit un.
derstanding exists among white
American writer's and motion
picture men not to depict Negro
people at their best but at their
worst or not at ALL" It also pro-
ests that while 'Mr. Sobol has
been so kind and liberal-minded
as to publish Mr.. DeLeeuw's let
ter, "he would (meaning this
reporter), never distinguish
himself as a writer of Negro
dialect"

The papers publish note on the death of a well-known Turk. said to be about 164 years old. It is likely that in his youth he did not know much about Ameri- ca. The United States did not then exist. If by any chance he had been able to keep up with current events, he would have been equipped today with vast store of interesting reminiscence.
 Within the span of his life the first governm ent post office in this country was opened, our first
