Louise FaZenda was telling
me that she took riding lessons

/ asked her how much she

Someone asked her how she

Boys Are Smart
In his book. my Life of Magic, "
Thurston reveals that the most
alert in detecting his tricks-that
is, the easy oneS-are bright boys
of IA or IS. They put the arts
and wiles of necromancer to their
severest test. Speaking of this,
Thurston says:
"They spur my sporting instinct
to its greatest effort. I am trying
: to deceive; they are trying to de-
tect, and having a keen appre-
citation of these able foemen I
never let down my guard. The
mind of a boy Of IA or Is has not
become confused by theoretical
things. To him the direct route
is the shortest. For the solution
of a complex trick he seeks the
simplest solution. At times it is
the right one, and if his keen
vision has penetrated the mask, I
at once make cOnfidant of him" :"

INsTALLMENT PLAN o. X.

Installment buying weathered the
storm of the recent depression period in
much better manner than many persons
may imagine. In bountiful years pay
ments on articles purchased on the time
basis were made with great regularity SO
that until the lean years came the time
payment plan never had been subjected to
q real test.
u. Authorities have been checking up to
,sAe :hgw the.sieferred payment plaB Jared
through the depression. Inwas discovered
that about so per cent of all the household
washing machines sold were purchased on
the installment plan. OF these, no more
washers were taken back than in normal
times, which is regarded as conclusive EVIL
demce that women, having learned Inc adj
vantage of such a labor-saver, will make
many sacrifices, if need be. to continue en-
joying its aid. 1t was found, Also that the
relation of time bases sales to total sales re-
NAMED about the same in poor days as in
good ones.
Installment buying thus evidently is
firmly established rs an important part Cf
the commercial system. Evidently also a
customers desire for such home helps as
washing machines remains strong, regard
less of financial conditions. The system
and the product obviously are satisfactory.
or the use of both would not continue.

TAXES OR TRADE7

A CLASSIC example OF the erect or tax
es upon business is to be found in the case
of the Federal tax on motor fuel.
In 1888 this tax cost taxpayers roundly
$18O,0OO.000, but it meant far greater
loss to trade. That $3.50, 100000 would
have financed the purchase by American
citizens of 100000 small family cars
costing 5000 each.
The manufacture of such a car gives
20 days of labor for one man. The 900, 900
cars would have provided q, 100000 days
of work, or two five-day working weeks
for more than 100000 men, That is not
far from the normal number of wage earn
ers in the entire automotive industry. Since
the manufacture of motor car involves
the production of materials and labor of
men in about 100 different industries, and
the materials are drawn from every state
in the Union, the entire country suffered
because just one Federal motor tax pre-
vented the manufacturing and marketing
of these vehicles. It is probable that this
one tax put out of work one out of every IL
working men in the United States!
The 800, 600 new cars might have re-
placed 300,O older cars, for which some
one could find use and which they wouln
have purchased. Since the normal annual
gasoline consumption per car is reundly
600 gallons, operation of the 600 600 we
hicles would have meant the sale Of 360f
100000 gallons of motor fuel. If the pnse
mess of the average gasoline station gives
employment to two men, the saleeof gasos
line to these cars would have kept 5000
stations open for full year and provided
profitable employment for 10000 men.
There would have been additional purchas-
es of oil, tires, supplies, and service, as well
as the various and sundry purchases ordi-
narily made by drivers and passengers af-
fecting thousands Of additional sales out
let's in various trades, and giving jobs to
thousands of additional workers.
The 100000 cars would have paid a
gasoline tax of about &c per gallon to the
states. State revenue from this source
would have been $14,400,000. They would
have paid in addition registration fees of
about $15 each, augmenting state revenues
by $4,000. 900 more.
All these men put to work would have
spent their way In trade, thus expanding
the circle of buying influence. They would
also have been better able to pay local tax
es, thus relieving the local tax situation.
None can estimate the full beneficial effect
of putting $3.50, 100000 into circulation
within the states. But there is no doubt but
that it would have worked to better ends
than did taking $3,75O,OOO from the tax
payers of each state to line the tax Golfers
Of the federal government.
