Every time the word is mentioned It brings up recollec tions at paying excess baggage on a trunk, or recalls some friend whose doctor has warned him against excess fat or excess sugar. | "Excess" always makes you think of something that's fine in modera tion but eery bad, dangerous, sinful maybe, If there is any extra. It would have been a good thing for the United States and everybody in it, if the man who first said "ex cess profit," had used a term that meant exactly something. Excess baggage is everything over 150 pounds, of course, and doctors know precisely what excess fat or excess sugar is when they find it, but what is excess profit? Who knows what it is? Quite often it is the unfair use of an ugly word. Taxed at 15 Par Cent There is such a thing as excess profit, without a doubt; easier to recognlza than define. What the government calls excess profit how ever, may not always be too much. I think everybody has a right to know just what it is that corpora tions earn and then have to pay 85 cents out of every dollar back to the government in a special tax. Consider this: The war choked out a few firms completely, but a majority kept go ing and soon found their sales swol len by war conditions. Costs in creased too but, even so, most of them are making much bigger prof its annually before taxes than they did in a good average year of busi ness before the war. The 1940 tax law calls profits "excess" if they are greater In any one year than the average annual profits of 1936 through 1639. am mm Government Along with increased costs, born of war, many big corporations en joy economies also incidental to war. Costs can usually come down with greatly increased volume, and many manufacturers are selling every thing they make to the government as fast as they can make it. Some are relieved entirely of sales ex pense and kindred expenses like merchandising, warehousing, deteri oration, etc. Business establishments with gov ernment contracts do not offer much protest against a stiff tax on war profits. Business men are able to see sense in it They have generally given libera] discounts to big-volume buyers whose orders keep plants busy and unit costs down. Govern ment is always a close buyer; price cuts to government departments are certainly nothing new. Execea Prices Next Technically, the excess profits taxes that corporations pay now are not price concessions because the firms actually get the money and pay it back later. It is almost pre cisely a rebate to the government for its big purchases. The only dif ference is that our excess profits tax is a law. War contracts are worded to cancel themselves the day war ends, but the tax law has to be re pealed by Congress or stay in force. If our 86* excess profits tax law Is not amended to end with the war, American manufacturers will have to keep on rebating the government after the government quits buying. Selling and warehousing costs will return; there will be no big-customer savings to divide with anybody. If manufacturers pay government 8fi% of any part of post-war profits, they must hike prices. That will be an "excess." really, and the whole burden of it will fall on us average consumers. We can only protect ourselves by having proper tax legislation created now. to go into effect as soon as the war ends. p?!* ft ? Hi nr** Alfred D. Reeklejr, II, Pittsburgh, Pa., radio operator, can smile now. War Bonds are providing treatment for the wounds he sustained while fly ing a bomber on a mission over Cen tral Germany. Beckley says others will be wounded and will need help A piece of shrapnel sent Pfc. Charles Shropshire, 21, Lexinfton, Ky? to the hospital, where his leg wound is mending, thanks to War Bonds. Shropshire was wounded in a sudden Nasi assault while setting up a machine gun on a Belgium front, when the enemy shell struck close enough to wound. Buy more Bonds, Shropshire urges, so that the business of war can be brought to a successful conclusion quicker. Tech. Sgt. Paul Fordham, 31, Southampton, N. Y., was one of three men injured when an Eighth Air Force Flying Fortress took a shelling over Germany. The damaged plane got back to England, but this B-17 engineer was knocked out with a shattered left thigh. Now he has an extra good word for all the people at home who bny War Bonds to heal wounded fighters of the present and at the same time assuring ample, sufficient treatment for others yet to be wounded. v.

Bonds Over America DEVIL'S TOWER The firct national monument. Dev il's Tower in Wyoming, stands as ? sturdy emblem to this nation's pol icy of creating parks for the free enjoyment of citizens. The purchase of War Bonds keeps supplied the fighting forces engaged in protecting this land of ours and its glories. More than 10 million years old. the "lava blister" rises 865 feet above surrounding terrain. Its diameter at the base is about 1,000 feet. Sage brush, ferns and grass flourish on the summit. Will Rogers and hit wife, natives of the vicinity, climbed it in 1893. U. S.

One of tnany iftism In the April Stir lastst o* THE AMERICAN WEEKLY BalUaaore^Sunday American ?*_ Good Equipment Eases Routine Household Tasks Proper equipment makes routine household tasks less tiresome. Be sure that tables, sinks, and other work sr.rfaces are of the correct height. If the kitchen sink is too low, place a board or rack under the dish pan. Tables can be raised with swivel wheels, blocks, or ex tensions fastened to the legs. Homemakers who have to pack a lunch at home can save time and energy if they plan ahead. Foods for the two lunches can be prepared at the same time. Make egg-Ailed sandwiches for the lunch box and have creamed eggs and toast at home. The same salad can be in cluded in both lunches, as can also a hot soup, cookies, and milk. Applesauce at home can be bal anced by an apple in the lunch box. Such a scheme makes it easy to plan other meals, for everyone has had the same sort of food at lunch time. A regular rest period during the day helps to lessen fatigue, and pro vides time to read, knit, or play with the children. Saved Fats Have Many Uses in Cooking Saved fats may include drippings from roast or broiled meat or from poultry, or rendered trimmings of pork, beef, poultry. Number 1 use of saved fats is gravy. Use saved fat also in sauces for scalloped dishes, of add it to soups. Flavor vegetables with it. Add to plain boiled vegetables, mash with potatoes, mix with a little vinegar and use as the dressing for wilted lettuce, top off a baked potato with it, use for panning cabbage, squash and other vegetables. Add during cooking to meat that hasn't enough fat of its own. Make it the fat in piecrust, cake, gingerbread, waffles, muffins, bis cuits, stuffing for poultry or meat, macaroni and other cereal dishes. "Butter" bread crumbs In it. To mask the flavor of lamb, mutton, and other such fats, combine with onions or mixed vegetables in soup, or use as the shortening in crust for meat pie or in spice cake, ginger bread, or orange cakes or cookies. I Frozen Foods New types of frozen foods are in prospect after the war. Frozen sweet potatoes, vegetables suitable for Infants, and tomato juice seem to be definitely on the way. Velva i fruit for desserts has promise. This product tastes like fresh, fully ripe | fruit and has the texture of ice | cream. In addition to fruit puree, it contains only sugar, a small amount of gelatin, and sometimes added lemon or citric acid. It is frozen in an ice-cream freezer. Action of the freezer incorporates enough air to double the volume of the mix. Then i there are the frozen oclfcentrated orange juice and other fruit concen trates. Concentration of the juice is accomplished by partial freezing and separating the ice crystals from the concentrated mother liquor. It I is reported that a method has been devised for freezing mixed eggs in bricks, each brick containing one egg which can be broken from a block and thawed quickly. Labor Foree The nation's labor force is divid ed into three general classifications, i In periods of economic stability, the percentages for each classification are as follows: service industries, 50 per cent; consumer goods indus tries, S3 per cent; and durable goods industries IT per cent The first cat 1 egcry includes transportation, com munications. entertainment, doc tors. lawyers, and things of a sim ilar nature. Consumer goods in cludes principally the things that are eaten, wearing apparel, fuel cosmetics, and other similar com modities. The third classification, durable goods, includes construc tion. machinery, vehicles, household equipment, metal mining and sim ilar commodities. Cleaa Robber Take oil, grease, and tar spots off rubber quickly. Usually a bath of warm water and soap will do tty work. If the spot stays on after j this treatment, sponge it with a dry- ] cleaning fluid If necessary, soak the spot in the fluid?but no longer than i two or three minutes. Treat rub ber extra gently while it has fluid on it. Because it does not catch fire, carbon tetrachloride is one of the best fluids for cleaning stub born spots on rubber. Gasoline is all j right to use if it has no tetraethyl lead in it. Range Surface The porcelain enamel surface of your range that protects the steel beneath is a kind of glass. Though hard, it will break with sudden changes of heat and cold, or hard blows. Once it is chipped, the dam age can't be undone. If the enamel* does chip, touch up damaged spots carefully with paint recommended by your range dealer. It may look. patchy but it's better than exposed 1 places that invite rust. Guard against scratches . . . don't drag pans or anything rough across your enamel range top. Avoid sud den temperature changes . . . the chief dangers are wiping up spills on the hot range with a cold, damp cloth . . . spilling cold liquids on the hot range . . setting cold, wet things on the warm surface. "i ' . * Electric Washer For safety with an electric wash er, stand on a dry floor and have dry hands when you connect the plug. Connect to an appliance out let or to a porcelain socket pro vided for the machine. To discon nect, grasp the plug, not the cord Keep outlet in good repair. Keep cord clean, dry?away from sun, heat and oil?never roll the washer over it. Repair cord or plug as soon as a broken or worn place shows. If your washer blows a fuse, re place with a 15-ampere fuse. Too large a fuse may permit the motor to'be injured or burned out before the fuse blows. Occupational Deaths Occupational deaths, 18,000, were 3 per cent below the 1942 total in 1943. Alaskan Purchase The United States purchased Alas ka from Russia in 1867 for $7,200,000. Safety Measure Emery is the principal ingredient of an aggregate made to go into concrete floors for dairy plants. The surface is said to resist acids and? important item?not to be slippery. Bonds Over America * I DVORAK MEMORIAL Antonio Dvorak, Bohemian com poser, wrote melodies which were recorded as "String Quartette in r. Major," Opus M, m tiny Spillville, Iowa, In 1893. The composition con sumed only 13 days. Later Dvorak wrote "Theme with Variations," pert of which, rearranged by Vio-' linist Fritz Kreisler. became known as "Ind:.in Lament." So th*t the spirit of freedom which inspires men and women to create masterpieces of art in all forms shall endure for ever, U. S. men are suffering and dying. Home folks can at least lighten their trials by buying War . Bonds to furnish them with muni tions. food and medical supplies. (h S.
