Double Whannly' Pays
BY William J. Meyer

going on an extended vaca-
ton, is reported to have said:
Il have audited lots of
books, but these certainly
offer a real challenge"
Inexperience in such mum
dane procedures as filing
might have been the basis of
the trouble. AS an example.
it hasn't been so long since an
important letter from a client
was found-after a search
in the cold-cream drawer.
1T was pretty gooey, but
we still could read it," Mrs.
Young, president, says.
That's one reason we have
no lock on the door. If we
can't find anything, a burglar
sure would have a sweet time
of it!"
The models, of course, sell
their services for fashion,
shows, conventions, store
openings and similar events.
But unlike other concerns
that use sales stats, direct
mail or other selling methods,
the models, according to Mrs.
Young, use the double
whammy" system.
The double whammy' is a
combination of beauty and
brains" she explains. "A
client can see our models are
pretty. We also show him we
are experts in our business.
1--WE may be scatter drained
in some things, but when it
comes to business we talk cold,
hard facts. Our Office is Just
as busineSs-like as any. Why,
we have little things to punch
holes in paper and every
thing"
Starting from scratch, the
firms stock has increased
from $5 to $40 a share, with
only working models as share
holders. Ten per cent of the
gross goes to the firm, 80 per
cent to the models.
At the start of the year its
bank balance was about zero.
Now it is about $500, or 10
per cent of the models gross,
less operating expenses. The
corporation expects to declare
its first dividend from this
net profit this fall and, in
addition, expects to sign a
contract soon which, If it
goes through, will net the
corporation more than $4,000.
Apparently, the double
whammy" system pays of.

women decided to organize
Washington'S most unusual
share-holding concern.
Although most, If not all,
the girls had pretty good jobs,
some one thought 1t would be
a darling idea" to incor-
porate. There seems to be no
significance in the fact that
the corporation was formed
on Halloween, 1851. Its found
ers were about 20 profes-
sional models and they called
themselves Shy. Inc, from the
initials of their top officers,
Julie Shaded, Anne HinSon and
Marjabelle Young.
First, there had to be an
office, letters written, filing,
a lawyer, an auditor and last,
but far from least, taxes had
to be paid. why do we have
taxes, anyway?" one of them
asked. They're such a
nuiSance!"
Taxpaying was a never-to-
be-forgotten event for both
the girls and the Internal
Revenue Bureau. The models,
eight or 10 strong and in full
fashion show makeup, sailed
into the bureau which, ac-
cording to reports, has not
been so upset since the bank
moratorium of 1888.
~Is this where we pay?" one
of them trilled.
PAY what?" the man coun-
tered.
why, our corporation tax,
of course" she replied, in
dignantly. "Our lawyer said
it was due"
"The man couldn't under
stand our books" she ex-
planned later. But they were
just as plain as day.
I'VE even offered to let him
audit them, but he just said,
No, thanks and invited US
to come back later. Some of
the girls giggled, but we all
got pretty sick of it, We could
see there was no sense in talk
ing to him, so we said we'd
Just go see Drucie's father"
("Drucie's father" is John
w. Snyder, Secretary of the
Treasury and father of Mrs.

ever, they hired an auditor.

|1akonla Park Council
|SaysChiIIum Fire Tax
Bill Is Unsatisfactory

The Takoma Park City Council
finds the proposed Chillum-A Adel-
phi fire area tax bill ''unsatisfac-
tory as now written" but agrees
to further discussions.
That was the position the coun-
Gil took at its meeting last night.
The proposed bill calls for q
$3.50 division of a special fire
tax Of 10 cents per 500 Of as
sessed valuation in the incorpo-
rated area of the chillum election
district, by the municipalities and
the unincorporated area. That
division would apply for four
years. but would increase for the
area and decrease for the cities on
a sliding scale thereafter.
Not Emergency Measure.
Councilman Walter B. McClenin
expressed doubt that the proposed
bill could be introduced in the
next session Of the Maryland Gen
|eral Assembly, which meets Febru-
ary, becaus it is not a nemergency
measure.
The council. which ordered its
fire department to cease service tc
the Chillum area after the voters
rejected a special 10-cent fire tax
last October, objected to the pro-
posed new bill because it asks Ia
koma Park to protect q larger por.
tion of the Chillum area than II
feels is justified by the 1914 pei
cent Of the tax refund the city
would receive.
Favor Other Arrangement.
Councilmen said they would
favor an arrangement such as the
one existing between the city and
AN adjoining incorporated area Of
Montgomery County. The citizens
|of that definitely defined area pay
"a special tax which goes entirely
to the Takoma Park Fire Depart
ment for fire protection.
Takoma Park has never been
eligible to receive refunds from
the general two-cent Prince
Georges County fire tax because
its fire department is located in
Montgomery County.
