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.
