PeOndge
Should an Administration which
has partly blamed the continu-
ance Of the depression upon those
who take advantage of their needy
fellows at the same time place
itself in the position of saving
money by this means? It is
charged that Post Office is doing
just that in obtaining as many
bids as possible for Star Route
mail contracts and then accepting
the lowest bid regardless Of
whether it is so low as to amount
to peonage. We believe that Post
master General Farley should set
an example for private business
by refusing to allow any bids to be
accepted below a price set as the
minimum at which the driver may
receive a fair days profit on, his
labor.

1900 FIRMS
FACE FINES ON
BUSINESS TAX
Penalty Imposed
For Delay

They're going to get them COM
ing and going under the business
privilege tax beginning next
month.
Administrator Allan Brooke, of
the privilege tax office, today esti-
mated there are 1900 business
firms and individuals who will
have representatives trekking down
to the District uilding next
month to pay the business tax.
They will discover a little item of
$40 for renewal of licenses plus
IS penalty for failing to apply for
the licenses on or before June II.
OTHERS FACE PENALTY
There are others, Brooke pointed
out who will file returns during
the month, claiming they owe no
tax because their income is less
than $4,000 year. They, too, will
find the S. penalty for failing to
apply for a license on time and
$40 penalty if they had no license
for the fiscal year 1878.
42,5OO APPLICATIONS
Brooke said 42,500 applications
for licenses were filed this month,
$4,000 of which called for free
licenses-those whose gross re-
ceipts are less than $4,000 a year.
He estimates the tax, plus fees
from licenses and penalties, will
total $2,250,000 for the year now

For there is nothing that can

what the doctors call a red-hot'
jittery, multicolored sunburn.
It seems there are three
separate conditions which can be
caused by getting fresh with Old
SOFA suntan, a sunburn. or a
sunstroke. And in the United
States, 100000 working days or
practically 81, 100000 in cold cash
are sacrificed each year because
of illness due to sunburn.
And don't try to kid yourself
you're a heliophobe, either, for
there are only about 5000 of 'em
in the country. A heliophobe is a
person who, for lack Of pigmenta-
ton in the skin, will blister, burn
and get sick from the sun, but
simply cannot tan.

Paying homage to the little old

For instance, Mrs. Harvey W.

one of the city'S most active club
women and the grandmother Of
two children herself, said:

living here with her mother. We
knew each other when we were
both in college at Saltwater, Okla.
Sister and I went to her apart
ment and had breakfast. It would
be more correct to say we looked
at breakfast, for we were all too
excited to do anything but talk.
They had seen my picture and the
story in one Of the morning
papers.
Since we came South to White
Sulphur Springs Wednesday morn
ing we have had a feeling Of
being at home with friends we had
known always. Southern cooking
has not been praised too much. Ex-
cept that we cannot get Seafood
at home, the food tastes good
enough to have been prepared in
Oklahoma. We cannot offer
higher praise than that.
Another thing we noted was the
enormous orders of meat (raw.
too) they serve in New York. l
suppose it is because of the ire
mendouS amount of energy
necessary to go the pace there.
But we who are used to a lot Of
leafy vegetables and always fruit,
often fresh fruit with every meal,
felt almost like the child who was
set down in a fairyland where
everything was sugar. sugar
palace set on a beach of caramel.
Only we we're surrounded by a
butcher shop whenever we ordered
anything. One thing more to be
absolutely fair. Never anywhere
have we found more delicious
bread and butter than in New
York or more different kinds
of it.
This has been the greatest
event of my life, and everyone we
have met we shall remember with
happiness and affection.
