tellers Explaining
Personal Property
Tax Check Readied
Letters to all firms on the
personal property tax rolls, ex
plaining that each will be
checked, were being addressed
at the county assessor's office
Saturday and it was planned to
place the letters in the mail
Monday.
The feet that some merchants
have not been putting full val
ues on their inventories resulting
to unfairness to others, prompt
ed the action.
Deputy Assessor Andrew Haw-
er said that businessmen should
not take personal offense if
they have made honest returns
and asked for their cooperation
and immediate attention to the
letters.
Hawver also asked that firms
realize what the assessor's office
Is up against. He stated that
progress is being made on equal
ization but that it is a tremen
dous task. He said that the
work has thrown the office out
of gear, that it has deadlines to
meet and that the more quickly
the task can be accomplished
the sooner office work will be
back in order.

(We trust our feminine
subscribers will giro the above
careful reading and thus be
Inspired not to view their hus
bands with suspicion or to ask
too many questions. As. for
example, if a wife is bru
nette and notes a blonde hair
on her husband's coat she
should assume It came there
when her spouse brushed up
against a blonde in the sub
way or aa elevator. And so
disregard it and avoid any
chance of bringing about a rift
In the lute.)
Am pleased to note the resi
dents of my old neighborhood,
Bay Ridge in the beautiful bor
ough of Brooklyn, still strongly,
resent being pushed around. In
a recent open meeting for the
discussion of excessive and un
necessary New York City taxes
a citizen of Bay Ridge, certainly
pulled no punches. He asked
among other things: "If Mayor
Impelletieri is so ' anxious to
cut expenses as he claims, why
doesn't he take a cut in his S40,
000 a year salary?" This battling
Bay Ridgette also frankly stat
ed that he considered the mayor
"a phony."
Asking
Queries from clients. Q. What
do you know about a boxer nick
named "The Joplin Kid"? A!
Never heard of him. There was
a boxer known as "The Joplin
Ghost" but I forget his real
name. The original "Joplin Kid"
was a song writer. None other
than Percy Wenrich, who wrote
"Put On Your Old Gray Bon
net," "When You Wore a Tu
lip" and many other song hits.
Percy was born in Joplin.
So They Say
Now Aquarius women among
the clientele are complaining
their sign has been ignored in
this department's checking on
the stargazers. Aquarians (Jan
uary 20-February 18) are usual
ly smart business women.
Should be in business for them
selves. They never make the
same mistake twice. Though they
may get the wrong man the first
time they marry, they seldom
fail to have a successful second
marriage. They can't be dominat
ed by a husband. Are at their
best when they live in a large
city. Mentally they are' unusual
ly active. Physically, they can
be very affectionate but need
much warming up. Are smart
dressers. Have a keen sense of
humor. Lucky numbers are three
and four. Lucky day Wednesday.
Best chance for a happy mar
riage for an Aquarius woman
is with a Pisces, Sagittarius,
Libra or Gemini male. Or so say
the stargazers.
Sales Tax
"So you say the sales tax orig
inated in the United States,"
writes a San Franciscan. "The
Romans had a sales tax in the
first century B. C. Get it right,
Edgar, get it right And don't
forget to rush by the next mail
one carefully wrapped Connecti
cut stogie."
Horses fc Women
Ruby Miller, erstwhile : Gai
ety Girl, still quite a charmer of
males though now over 60 years
old says: "If a girl wants to be
the belle of the ball I suggest
she wear her hair long without
regard to the current style. The
important thing is to look and
feel feminine."
Sidelights
Gilbert and Sullivan, two of
the most successful collabor
ators of all time, never liked
each other personally. . . . The
two best detective stories I have
read so far are "The Leaven
worth Case" by Anna Kathrine
Green and "The Sign of the
Four" by Conan Doyle. After
those two, "File No. 113" by
Emile Gabrirau.
