We have yet to learn of an instance
where the voters of any county fail
ed to endorse a bond issue

an opportunity to do so. The good

Hawker, the British aviator who
attempted a non-stop flight from New

to a watery grave in the Atlantic
ocean. Thus the first attempt at
a continuous transoceanic flight has

deter others wlio are now making
plans for ai like effort.

The News is consigning two news
letters to the waste basket this week
because of the failure of the writer
to make known his identity. This pa
per has dozens of times in the past
called attention to the fact that no
responsible newspaper will print
anonymous communications, but in
spite of this a week rarely ever rolls
around that one or more such letters
do uot reach the News office.
MAKE THRIFT A HAPPY HABIT.
The Victory Liberty Loan, the last
great popular subscription issue of
Government, securities, being closed,
Secretary Glass announces that defi
nite plans are being worked out for
continuing the sale of War Savings
Stamps or some other form of small
security for a period of years.
One of the permanent benefits
America will receive from the war
is the lesson of thrift and economy.
Its value to the economic life of the
nation is too great to be cast aside
now’ that the war emergency has
passed. It Is to be hoped that thj
War Savings Stamps, or some other
variation of them, can be made a
permanent institution.
The 1919 Thrift idea does not con
template putting into practice the
doctrines of the miser. The ma.i
who hoards his money is narrowing
his life, restricting his liberty and
shutting himself away from true
happiness. The government’s object
Is to make thrift a happy habit. The
thrifty man buys liberally and in
telligently. He makes sure that the
shoes he buys contain good material
and workmanship: that the meat
he carries home at night goes on the
table, not in the garbage can. He
conserves his wealth, his time and
his energies.
In this period of flux and change,
of unrest and intrigue and revolution,
America can only perform her whole
duty to her people and to the people
of the world if she holds steady.
And she can only hold steady through
the industry and foresight of her
citizenry. American thrift will go
far to save the life of the world, to
bring liberty and make the pursuit of
happiness possible to oppressed hu
manity.
The thrift plan is & progressive
step. It is constructive w r ork and
should have the sympathy and sup
port of our people in every walk of
life.

EYE GLASSES TAXED BY
U. S. AS A LUXURY.
Eye glasses and spectacles are a
luxury —not a necessity—according to
a ruling of Daniel C. Roper, com
missioner of internal revenue, re
cently announced. All who wear eye
glasses or spectacles that have gold
or gold-filled frames are subject to a
luxury tax on the lenses as well as
on the frame.
Under regulations just announced
by the internal revenue bureau con
sumers are also required to pay a
tax of one cent for every 25 cents in
the purchase of practically all toilet
articles and all patented or advertis
ed medicinal articles.
Stamps to cover the tax which be
came effective May 1 will be issued,
it was announced, in the denomina
tions of from one cent to forty cents,
to be affixed to the article by the
dealer after the selling price has
been determined.
The tax is made applicable to all
medicinal preparations sold under
patent or trade mark, or produced by
a manufacturer having or claiming
to have exclusive right or title to
make such prepaartions.
“Medicine” is defined in the regu
lations as a remedy for disease “of
human or animal body.” “Recom
mended or advertised” is construed
as meaning “representation by any
means, whether by personal canvass,
or statement on labels, in pamphlets
or in advertisements.”
Many substances not used solely
for medicinal purposes such as boric
acid or licorice, if advertised or sold
under a trade mark as medicinal
preparations, are also subject to the
tax.
The tax does not apply under the
regulations to food preparations,
poisons, insecticides, medicinal disin
fectants, ' serums and antitoxins or
vaccines and bacterines “not adver
tised to the general lay public.’*
Soap and soap preparations are
the only toilet articles not included
as taxable under the regulations.
