Prices To Increase
According To Taxes

Columbus, Ohio.-Jacob B. Taylor,
director of the State Department of
Liquor Control, in statement issued
this week said:
eff an increase in the price of spir-
ituous liquor should become necessary
in Ohio because of the proposed in
crease in the federal gallonage tax,
the Ohio price increases will be con-
fined entirely to the amount of the
increase in the federal tax. In other
words, the Ohio Department of Liquor
Control will not make profit out of a
tax which is levied for defense pur-
poses. The department will likewise
insist that increases in prices re-
quested by distillers supplying the de-
partment be confined solely to the tax
increase. The net price increase to
the consumers in Ohio, therefore, will
be represented solely by the amount
of the federal tax increase"

Slim Chance For
Cut In Gas Rate

City Council was informed this week
at a caucus meeting by R. P. Price,
city manager, that the city could ex-
pect no reduction this year in it's rates
from the Cincinnati Gas and Electric
Company.
Hamilton's contract with the COM
pany expires in July and a new con-
tract must be prepared.
Price said he had been informed by
E. C. Eichelberger, vice-president of
the company, that it's board Of direc-
tors had considered a possible reduc-
tion in rates and concluded it could
not be undertaken at present.
Price said Eichelberger reported
that should the question fo a reduc-
tion in rates be reopened at this time
the company might be forced to in
crease its charges to the city.

Women In Industry

Car-hopping, a comparatively new
occupation, may be in for "new dis
pensation." The California Industrial
Commission has ruled that tips can
not be counted as wages. If the ruling
is sustained by the State Supreme
Court, the car-hopping girls must be
paid SIG week straight wage.
The practice of rewarding girl hops
with tips only is general throughout
the country, but may now be on its
way out.
On June 8, $4,000 women employed
in New York restaurants went under
an order fixing a basic rate of 20 cents
for service employees, 80 cents for 9TH
ers, exclusive of tips. Curb or car
hoppers are simply restaurant en-
ployes who work outside. Often they
must buy uniforms much more costly
than any used by inside mattresses.
Some California employers required
uniforms costing up to $25 and $40
with two per season called for.

For Better HOmemaking

When deciding where to place your
piano in your living room, if possible
choose an inside wall because this in
sures a more even temperature. Heat
strings, the keys and even the finish.
Steam heat tends to dry and crack
the fine woods and finishes, and damp
ness will rust the strings. It's pos
sible to place half pound of Stacked
lime in the bottom of the piano to abb
sorb the excess dampness in the air.
Too warm room may encourage the
breeding of moths in the felts. 1t is
advisable to hang little bags of cam
phor inside the case where they will
not interfere with the action.
Bric-a-brac on top of the case is
likely to cause unpleasant vibrations.
The keys are best cleaned with cold
water and soft cloth. They should
be wiped dry quickly to avoid yellow
ing. Tuning the piano once or twice
year is essential
Any piano will sound sharp if there
are no rugs on the floor or no hang
ings in the room, whereas deep pile
rug under the piano will add richness
and depth of tone. Proper care of
your piano will reward you with years
of lasting enjoyment.
