Designers DEFY Raids

In London, dressmakers keep on
dishing out their normal supply
of work, in spite of air raids. Clothes
are made on a sort of ambulating
schedule, workers shifting from the
basement shelters to the upstairs
workrooms and back again.

No Mountains in Florida.
Movie Makers Warned
BY DAMON RUNYON

that are suffering off the south
ern end of Florida.
w. X. Vanderbilt's Alva. one
of the largest pleasure yachts
afoat, loafs at its pier still in
white. 1t is said the government
may take it. too. before long.
THE most captious Floridan
can excuse a little fictional
liberty with water scenes on the
part of the movie makers. But
the mountains that have been
stuck in some pictures in the
past were resented as gross mis-
representation, which is why we
spoke of them first. There are no
mountains in Florida. That is
the great advantage of the
state. You can stand on street
corner in Jacksonville. gaze
southwark and see II. Bon d
Bliss writing his editorials in the
Miami Herald office over 300
miles away.
This visibility is highly priced
by all loyal Floridans. They can
always completely crush South
ern Californian by asking him if
he can see any one in San
EranciScn-f #-Ies-AngefcS
knowing full well that inconveni-
ent upliftings of the terrain be-
tween the two points precludes
that possibility. The Southern
Californian usually tries TO pass
the question off by replying that
he does not want to see any one
in San Francisco. but he is none
theless discounted.
You may Judge of the feelings
of the Floridans when they be-
held a movie some years ago
that showed a mountain range
running right in behind Miami
Beach. where for years the high
est eminence was a sleeping
swapping turtle few rods north
of Major Albert Warmers home.
1t is no longer there. The major
got stuck with a bad gin rummy
hand one night and his outcries
awoke the turtle and it waddled
away and now the landscape is
quite fiat again except for new
hotels.

IL SEEMS mat hollywood Is
= preparing no less than half a
dozen new pictures with Flor
ida background and in the in
terest of friendlier relations
between the Peninsular State
and California, we think a word
of warning to the movie makers
is in order. No mountains,
please.
No mountains. and no luxury
yachts. If any of those new
pictures are supposed TO be laid
in these times and show the
heiresses diving from the decks
of sleek yachts that look like
baby liners, the citizens will
know that the atmosphere is
wholly spurious because the gov
eminent has nabbed nearly all
those platinum-plated boats and
painted them serious gray and
stuck guns all over them.
We cannot recall ever seeing
a Florida picture that did not
have the heiresses- diving, but if
the movie makers desire to pre-
sent real life, we advise them TO
have The diving off barges. And
under no circumstances should
it be done against a close back
ground of the Miami skyline,
as that would argue that the
diving was into the limpid wa
tiers of Biscayne Bay, and no
heiress in ier right mind. or
even in her wrong mind, would
think of doing any diving there.
THAT is, not unless she was
l. totally unfamiliar with the
limpid waters of Biscayne. That
is where the boats of all kinds
anchor. and diver would run
the risk Of busting her skull on
the debris that is chucked off
the vessels to float idly on the
tides. Strangers to the shores of
Biscayne Bay often wonder why
the home folks do not do their
bathing in the bay and are told
ii is infested with the fierce
barracuda, the tiger of the sea.
but personally we do not think
that the barracuda would prove
as ferocious to a bay bather as
some of the articles we have
seen drifting on the surface of
the limpid waters aforesaid, and
we speak as an old settler on
the shores of Biscayne, too.
In the. ante-bellum days of
1910 and beyond. the sleek white
yachts used to tie up almost in
the front yard of the hermitage
on Hibiscus Island down in Dade
County, Florida. We had to keep
the blinds down to insure pri-
vacy against the gaze of the
heiresses aboard the floating
jewel boxes. Some of the heir
esses looked a trifle hefty from
where we peeked and, educated
by the movies. we were always
dreading one of them diving be-
cause she might have splashed
water into our boudoir. But they
never dove.
Now we see some of those
same yachts slipping in and out
of the harbor of Miami like gray
shadows. They are wearing
Uncle Sans nautS al war paint.
One that was too big TO come
up our waterway was the Hi
Esmaro. which belonged to one
of the asbestos Manvilles, and

To the Editor:
THE seventh tragedy this year,
l. of the same kind. was
brought into the Shelter of the
Anti-Cruelty Association. A
young cocker dog came in with
a rubber band around his neck
so tight that it was sunk deeply
into the flesh in the front of
the little fellows neck. making
a raw, red cash. Mr.. Doner
finally got the band off, and
the relief of the little dog was
a Joy to see.
If parents will be careful to
see that the children do not put
bands of any kinds on the necks
of their pets. it will help greatly.
Great care should be exer-
cised 10 see that at all times
collars are large enough. Many
people put them on puppies and
forget that the neckS grow;
many dogs come into the shell
ter choking and coughing from
too tight collars.
The same is true of cats and
kittens.

FACTORY MILK

Fifty years hence, a writer pre-
diets, the milk coz will be replaced
by a milk-producing machine. This
factory milk will be pure and not
lacking in nutritive elements II
will be cheaper, too. This is the
first forecast Of the passing OF the
COW noticed since the beginning ~
the war. II is welcomed as proof
that some things still proceed
normally.
Science Is truly marvellous. ami
there is nothing more astonishing
than the number OF plans which
II has advanced for consigning the
COW 10 oblivion.
A decade ago an English hrn
announced that it would make milk
from grass and the world was ask
q TO provision great loads OF hay
being driven into one end OF an
industrial plant and an endless
chain OF bottles 1led and sealed.
emerging from the other. Later the
soy bean was hailed as the source
Of the milk supply OF the future.
and Americans were told that this
legume Of the Far East would make
the COW as dead as a dodo. Then
Roger Babson predicted that by
1850 man would be getting his
cheese. and butter from kerosene
So far as can be seen, there is
practically nothing between the old
COW and extinction except division
OF opinion among the experts on
how II is TO be accomplished. An
other minor item is that science
hasn't yet mastered the trick OF
slicing a T-bone steak from a Hy
wheel. extracting a rib roast from
an Oil can, or making a Chinese
bean taste Ike a beef tenderloin.
Until science has all the answers.
the cows future would seem to be
secure.

The NEW SALES TAX

Although Congress has consist
entity refused to levy a general fed
eral sales tax, statisticians report
that if the pending tax bill is ap'
proved total of S2,660000,000-
something like a quarter OF total
federal revenues-will be collected
from sales or use taxes on special
articles
These imposts will fall on some
II different classihcations OF COM
modities which will pay more than
was ever proposed in a low per.
centage general sales tax.
These taxes are the so-called
excise. or hidden leYies which
theoretically are imposed on lux
ury goods. However, the House
Ways and Means Committee has
added 10 new classihcations OF com
modities TO this list and has raised
the imposts on Il others.
Final approval, however, will
not be obtained without a bitter
fight and some committee members
already have given notice they will
carry to the floor protests on GER
tain articles.
The last time q proposed federal
sales tax was put TO the test in
Congress with committee backing
Was in 1890, when il was convin-
cingly voted down. This tax was
10 have raised only some $500, 000,-
600 a year.
Bulk OF the excise taxes are paid
by liquor. which. withs beer and
wine, now contributes s624.253,156
and tobacco. which pays s60S,5ts,.
443. The committee did not vote
10 change beer or tobacco levies,
but agreed to increase liquor by
100000 and wine by si5,s0o,-
600.
The rest OF t. s2.6s0,0OO, 900
will be made up from new and
existing excise OF use taxes.
New commodities or services TO
be taxed II the bill passes are Jewell
~, refrigerators, sporting goods.
matches, luggage, monographs and
records. musical instruments, eiec-
trical appliances, business ma
chimes, optical equipment, rubber
products, metal signs, washing ma
chimes. soft drinks. cutlery. passen-
ger transportation, telephone bills,
bowling alleys and pool tables, use
OF automobiles. and slot machines.
Taxes raised are on liquor.
wines. playing cards. automobile
trucks, automobile parts, tires and
tubes. Photographic equipment.
candy and gum, furs. radios, tele-
graph service, admissions. club
dues, safety-box rentals. refrigera-
tors and toilet preparations.
Existing excise levies unchanged
by the committee are on beer, to-
bacco, gasoline. lubricating oil,
electric energy, firearms, narcotics,
oleomarsarine. coconut and oils,
purses and pocketbooks, and sculp-
lures and paintings.
The reasonable conclusion is that
