Smoking Tapers Off And
Tax Receipts Go Boom

Ohioans apparently are taking
seriously their VOWS to "cut
down" on their cigaret smoking,
but the downward trend in con-
sumption is beginning to taper
off.
This was disclosed today by
State Treasurer Roger w. Tracy
who came up with some statisti-
cal data indicating that the mark
ed decline in cigaret tax collec-
tions for the first three months
of 1854, averaging $l12,490, per
month, dropped to only $33,374
during April.
This means, Tracy pointed out,
that the average monthly decline
of l12,490,000 cigarets as against
year ago, fell off to only
33,374,000 during April. Records
in Tracy's office show that re-
venues from the tax amounted
to $6,l20,l93 during the first
TOUR months or tins year, which
represented drop of $370,845
from receipts for the same period
of last year.
At the same time, Tracy de-
clined to make any comment
upon whether the adverse re-
ports on cigarets last fall is link
ed with the current sharp de-
cline in cigaret consumption
Reports show, however, that col
lections from the tax during the
last four months ending April
80 were only $6,120,183. This is
a drop of $l,067, ,849, or 1874 per
cent, from the collections of
81, 1902 for the previous four
months. This means consumption
fell off by 1,067, ,849, 900 cigarets.

AS one of the small-thinking
Legionnaires referred to by Mrs
Randles in her letter in last
weeks Journal, | feel obliged to
enlighten her on a few basic
facts. Having been a member of
the armed forces, and having
talked to hundreds of veterans,
have yet to find a single one
who had any desire for a mark
er," as she calls it, They all pre-
fer a living memorial; i. e., a
hospital room, library, or a play
ground for the kids. These small
town veterans, in all likelihood,
have been to places she will
never see, and have had ample
opportunity to observe many of
the most famous memorials and
statues, being used as a roosting
place for birds.
The American Legion does not
recognize worship of idols or
statues.
"Animatism" is not in Web
ster's Twentieth Century Die
tionary, SO | could not check its
teachings.
There is no selfishneSs in the
proposal to build a hospital.
What is less selfish than taking
care of the sick? The room is
not intended exclusively for vet
erans' use; it is t. be for any
one. Rooms in hospitals are not
small and cheap, which Mrs.
Randles would find if she were
to pay for one.
We, veterans, were asked by
the trustees to state our desires
as to a monument, which we did.
What better way to find our
veterans preferences than from

cent over collections of $347 $685.
217 for the same period of last
year.
Tracy pointed out that if the
current rate of collections con-
tinues for the next two months,
the increase may reach upwards
to $25,000,000 by the close of
June. These figures are exclusive
of the $15,000,000 paid to local
governments last year. and
$l6,666, 666 paid to the subdivis-
ions this year, to date.
The major sources of revenue
showed the following increases:
state supported universities
through the raising of student
fees, $5,730,l60; liquor profits,
$2,750,000; insurance, $1,762, SOS;
inheritance taxes, $1,028, PAS;

ia; corporation franchise, $30l, :
030; state fair, $40, ,40S, and in
tangible taxes, $29,062.
AT the same time, various
minor miscellaneous tax sources
accounted for another boost of
$7,788.9
Two declines were noted dur
ing the ten months period. A
drop of $358,627 was seen in the
receipts from the cigaret tax
while the federal grants for old
age pension awards were off

greater danger during the SUM
mer months.
Citing an unofficial count of
79 child deaths in the last five
years, the Council details several
methods for preventing suffoca-
ton in iceboXes, refrigerators,
freezers and other alright cab
inets.
A worn-out refrigerator should
be disposed of to a junk dealer,
but if that can't be done inn
mediately, then
Remove the door. This is the
safest way, since chest
especially may have a door or
lid so heavy that a child could
not open it even if unlatched.
Remove the latch stop. This
usually can be done easily by
removing the screws from the
plate.
Drill rows of holes in the
cabinet sides and pry off the
rubber gaSket raound the door.
These methods, used together,
will reduce the danger of suf-
location in a refrigerator kept in
use as storage cabinet.
If refrigerators are temper
arily out of use while the owners
wait to move them to another
location, sell them, or. pass them
on to relatives, then
Remove the latch stop, which
can be easily replaced.
Turn the box with the door
against the wall. Most boxes are
too heavy for children to move.
Bind the door shut with wire
or stout rope.
Paddock the door when the
handle is SO constructed
The Council points out that the
hazard apparently is increasing
as more and more outmoded re-
frigerators are being replaced.
Twice as many deaths occurred
in 1858 as in 1852. The average
age of victims is five years, with
the range from two to IL.
While urging legislation to
impose penalties for careless dis
posal of alright cabinets, the
council believes that only in
formed adults can give positive
protection to youngsters.

could be the greater menace
since its lethal nature is less
obvious"
He also pointed out that the
alibi, Il didn't know my brakes
were in such bad shape" doesn' t
excuse a fatal automobile accid-
ent any more than the alibi, Il
didn't know the gun was loaded -
excuses fatal shooting.
"It's every drivers duty to
know exactly what condition his
automobile is in, and there's no
excuse for ignorance on this
point.
"A driver should keep check
ing his car constantly for the
more obvious danger points. This
is easy and simple, he said. A
quick walk around the car can
show if the lights are working.
The windshield wiper, the horn
and the mirror can be checked
from the drivers seat. A brief
examination of his tires will dis
close excessive wear. Loss of
brake efficiency shows up in
ordinary driving.
But no driver, Cpl. Wells
said, should be satisfied with
4 l. IL l. u 4
have his car checked regularly
by a qualified mechanic. The
following points should be care
fully checked: headlights, rear
and stop lights, brakes, tires,
steering mechanism, windshield
Wipers, muffer and exhaust
system, window glass, horn and
rear-vieW mirror.

There's Grave Danger on Ahead"
The statement selected for
topic for this discussion, unpopu-
lar as it may seem, has been of
untold value to hundreds who hum
bled themselves enough to heed the
warning of its unspoken language,
on the one hand and on the other
it has ben stumbling block to
thousands who heedlessly ignored
its value.
Familiarity with Bible prophecy
and a reasonable check on current
events furnishes perfect picture
of man with a bright red flag
in hand running to meet a fast
moving train, overloaded with pas
sengers of unthoughtful, carefree
disposition as they sail down the
tracks toward human misery of an
unsupported nature; the degree of
which is far past human compre-
hension
The Flagman represents the true
messenger of Christ, the passengers
represent the worldily-minded peo-
pie of all walks fife, both in
and out of the visible church, while
the train represents the unmeasur-
able speed with which the masses
are travelling down that dangerous
road. There should be no mistake
in the identity of those people who
make up the human cargo of this
train, for their characteristics are
clearly defined in the Holy Bible;
they are the same now as in the
beginning of humanity. Human
traits may appear different in fea-
ture but they are the same in re-
atty.
People should beware of easy
going, relative to any kind of re-
ception - either position, power,
wealth or fame Smooth sailing in
these times when everything is up
side down and inside out, is evil
going. t is unreasonable to expect
ship to sail smoothly on rough
and choppy seas, or an airplane to
fly comfortably through a storm.
The truth of the statement mans
extremeties is Gods opportunity"
has been verified throughout the
history of this world. There has
never been time when man went
too far in his selfish and otherwise
wicked undertakings that God did
MT step in and show him who rules
supreme in the kingdom of men.
Again it is undeniably true that
there never was a time when men
were any more extreme in their
wicked practices than they are to-
day. Men, lovers of themselves
more than anything else, lovers of
