MARTEN SEASON PROVES
 POOR ONE THIS YEAR

The marten trapping season. which ended on January 3, was pretty poor this year, Howard Baltzo, licensing and tagging Of ficer at The City Store said today.
 With practically all of the trap pers in now, only 14S pelts have been sealed so far. He also pointed out the low price this year tho average running only about S35. thus, the total income to Wran- gell's trappers is only about S5O0O as entrusted to last years S150.- 0Oo when the mink season was also open
 As though a closed season on mink and a low price on martan were not enough of a handicap To trappers already, the heavy snows have made trapping difficult and even impossible in some places. % Mir. Baltzo added

 Facilities at Wrangell Institute were intended to accommodate a. bout 175 but due to lack of faeil- ities elsewhere, more have been crowded in and it is to relieve this condition that the transfer is now being made, it was said.

REPUBLICANS BACK
 TRUMAN'S REQUEST FOR
 CONTINUED WAR LEVIES

WASHINGTON- Republican tax managers gave a green light this week to legislation continuing tn- definitely the high wartime excise rates on such things as liquor, furs and jewelry.
 The surprise decision to head off an automatic F million dollar roll-back in levies July brought COP lawmakers and President Tru- man eye to eve on the first major tax problem to confront the Soth Congress.
 But Republicans expressed ra- newed determination to cut in- dividual income taxes 20 per cent - a move strongly opposed by the President.
 Chairman Knutson CR-Minn) said the House Ways and Means committee may approve a bill con- tinuing the high excess at it's first meeting. Such a quick step, he said, would erase business uneer- tainty caused by consumers delay ing purchases in anticipation of the otherwise automatic reductions six motnhs hence.
 The bill, to be offered by Rep. Grant CR-IndD. would remove the incentive to stop buying in aa- ticiDation of tax cuts " Knutson said.
 Moreover, he told newsmen. the continued large collection of excise revenues would make it easy for the Republicans to slash individual income taxes by a fifth this year. at total estimated saving to in- come earnera of $3,85O,OOO.0OO.
 If Chairman Taber, CR-NYl cf the House appropriations commit tee is correct in declaring "that the budget can be held down. Knutson said, then:
 "A 20 per cent tax reduction will be comparatively easy, and we should be able to pay 4 or bil- lions on the public debt"
 Tabor's latest estimate is that three to four billions can be pared from the Presidents $37 528,O0O.- OOO spending figure.
 The reversal of position came at the first meeting of COP members of the House Ways and Means com nittee this week.
 Continuation of the excise rates would prevent these decreases:
 Liquor-from S9 a proof gallon to $6. A reduction in the liouor rate alone would mean an $80O.- 100000 annual loss in revenue.
 Furs, jewelry, luggage, cosme- tics and theater tickets-from 20 per cent to 10.
 Night clubs-from 20 per cent to 5.
 Telephone bills Long distance calls, from 25 per cent to 20; local service from 15 per cent to 10.
 Transportation of persons-from l5 per cent to 10.
 Knutson announced the joint House-Senate, 1O2-member budget committee will meet Monday for it's first look at President Truman's l948 fiscal estimate, preparatory to writing it's own ceiling on Fed eral expenditure required by the Congressional reorganization act.

Subtlety Is the Watcb1Vord
when Abblyimg Perfumes
Bv Elem

So, the hints have paid Off
Those little remarks passed, oh
so innocently, have brought you
a bottle of that sweet smelling
wonderful stuff known as perfume:
Luckily a person with taste chose
scent that was just right for you
A fine perfume that is as young
and as lifting as you are. Now
that the gift has come your way
it is up to you to use it with dis
elimination
There's more than just dabbine
it behind your ears. If you mis-
use your perfume you really haven't
achieved any thing but waste. Per
fume does not have to be applied
in large doses. 1t is not like CO.
logne which you can use to your
hearts content.
You teen-agers will do better to
stick to light, airy fragrances
Heavy, sultry perfumes are for 9
much older age group. They should
be like your going to college
something to look forward to. A
perfume unsuited to you can really
be bit disastrous, for it easily
marks you as a person who knows
very little about perfumes.
A fine scent should be elusive
Dabbing it all in one spot is po-
tent, to be sure, but it is not SO
smart. And don't forget that per-
Evening star., 1947-11-16

fume is the strongest and most
lasting of all forms of fragrance.
Try using 1t In different ways.
You can sprinkle q few drops In
your rinse water after you've
shampooed your hair. You can
touch it to your wrists and to the
bend Of your elbow. Tucking a
small bit of cotton wet with a
few drops of your favorite fra
GRANGE inside of your bra Is another
tricky way to use perfume. A ia
vorite with women Of all ages is
touching the hem of the skirt with
perfume so as to leave faint fra
GRANGE as you pass by.
With perfume it should be a
touch here, a drop there, for good
effect. Be wise in the use Of your
perfume gift and it will last longer
and you'll enjoy using it so much
more-not to speak of being a
pleasure instead of a pain to those
in your immediate vicinity.

The only difference between Q

super market Is the little basket on
wheels supplied by the latter for
the purpose of toting purchases.
FStrictly self-service is this new disc

Then there's a section devoted to
Calypso, one for music by colored
artists and one for string bands.
In each section records are filed
alphabetically according to the ar
tist. You simply locate the one you
want, find yourself a turntable
equipped with audiogrip and listen.
The audiogrip, incidentally, Is an
earphone supplemented by handle.
Approximately 1000 different single
selections are offered and 1000 al
buns are available to the marketer.
The stock of brands Is a representa-

lovers of the classics will find even

are classical records.
