e" So, ST. JOHNS REVIEW VOLUME 18 ST. JOHNS, PORTLAND, OREGON, FRIDAY, JULY 7, 1922. NUMBER 35 The Tax on Admissions On account of an apparent mis understanding as to the tax on admissions, Clyde O. Huntley, Collector of Internal Revenue, announces that this tax is still in effect except as to admissions of 10 cents or less. "There seems to be sonio confusion with respect to mo exemption from this tux, "ex. plains Collector Huntley. "The law provides that exemptions irom tno tax may be granted where tho proceeds of an enter tainmcnt inure exclusively to tho benefit of a religious, educationul or chnritiiblo organization or in stitution; to societies for the pre vention of cruelty to children or animals; to any nost of the Am erican Loirintl (if Wnmim'u m.vil. . ?! . i.-.. ..... .i p. a . i i inane .i.. uuiu uiacuij iu uucieiies or organizations conducted for the solo purpose of improving any city or town; to organizations maintaining a cooperative or community center moving pic ture theater, no part of the net earnings of which inure to the ueucllt of any private atockhold cr or individual, and to agricultu ral fairs." However tho exemp non cannot bo granted to any caso unless an aflklavit claiming tho same is filed with Collector Huntley a cons dorublu time in advauco of tho dato of tho enter tainment so that proper invest! gation may bo made. Where ex cmptlon is obtained tho tickets must show the price of udmlssion and bear tho words "tax free" or "no tax." "Persons or organi eations giving entertainmonts are required by law to collect tho tax from those to whom tho tickets aro sold or to obtain oxemption, which will entitle them to sell tho tiokota without tax," said Colloc tor Huntley. "Tho law provides n penalty or not to exceed $1000 for failure to comply with this provision. "In ordor to bo enti tled to exemption tho specified organizations must bo regularlv organized, having olucers and trustees and tho usual oHscntiul features of such on organization; they must havo a purpose which as put into practice Is religious or educational or charitable, and their funds must bo used solely in furtherance of such purpose. This applies rs well to municipal improvement clubs ami to com munity motion picture organiza tions. "Tho ordinary fraternal order, unless its principal objects arc religious, charitablo or edu cational, and its funds are used solely for such objects, cannot qualify for exemption." Collec tor Huntley announces that in many cases organizations or in dividuals write to his ofllco after an ontortainmont has been given and state that upon tholr under.

What is Portland Cement Wiint is this ilner-tlmn-flour building material called cement that you enn mix with vter,mnd and Htoni', er other hard material, and cast into all hinds of .shapes, that become as hard and as endu ring as solid rock? Portland ce ment is an impalpable powder so line that at leant 7S per cent of it will pass through a sieve contain ing 40,000 mcfihoH to the square inch. It is composed principally of lime, silica and alumina, ob tained from (1) cement rock and limestone; ('J) limustone or marl and sliatu or clay; (!) blast furn ace slag and limestone. Those raw materials must be properly proportioned, finely ground, and thoroughly mixed before burn ing. The burning must be carried on at from 'JoOO to IKIOO degrees Fahrenheit. ' After the burning the resulting clinker is liucly ground into a powder which is known as Portland cement. Al though natural cement was utiliz ed by the Kgyptians in their pyr amids and by the Greeks in their aqueducts and temples, Portland cement was not developed for modern use until 1821. It was named after a hard gray rock found on the Isle of Portland oil' the coast of England. Hx. Did anybody ever du you nn act of kindness and then keep telling you of it every time thoy met you? Oncu upon a time when automobiles were scarcer than nowadays a neighbor of the, edi tor kept saying "I am going to take you for a nice long ride some day." Wo held that prom ise in our hearts for months, and one evening the phono rang and lo, and behold 1 The promised time had come I After supper the car drove up and we got in and we drove way over to Winchester ton miles mid back. Wo met the neighbor Wednesday " Wasn't that a nice, long ride last even ing?" Thursday " Did you en joy the nice long ride tho other evening?" Friday "1 did take you that nice long ride the other day, didn't 1?" It's going yet and that was at least in I ill! I . If there is another expression eon corning "a nice long ride" we wish wo knew it, for we are sure ly tired ot hearing the ones with which wo aro familiar, f.you.do a kindness, forget it. Put a seal on your Hps, and forget what you have done. After the kindness has done its beautiful work go back into the shade again and say nothing about it. Ood will love the kindness but he will also love for you to forget it. If you will forget it, the recipient will not and that is a better thing. Pythian (luest. Killed Near Ferry Landing A. M.
