W-R-E-C-K-S This country is famous for its wrecks and the said wrecks may be divided into three classes, vizz ly: 1. Automobile wrecks. 2. Mental wrecks. 3. Physical wrecks. There are numerous contribu tory causes of wrecks, especially in the automotive wreck class. These clauses may be segregated on a percentage basis as follows: Loose nuts _ 5 percent Hugging, 1 hand - 3 percent Hugging, both hands.... IS percent cigarettes - 5 percent, free up britches . 5 percent Kissing _ 5 percent Hornet in eye _ 5 percent Back-seat drivers _ 6 percent Sitting in laps _ 8 percent 75 m. p. h. _ 10 percent Blowouts _ \ (3 percent Other fellow _ 10 percent Truck hogs _ 10 percent Fools, plains _ 4 percent Fools, dams _ 14 percent Baby drivers _ 2 percent Dodging wimmen _ 12 percent Mental wrecks are caused by automobile wrecks and working in banks and matrimony. Matri mony is responsible for nearly twice as many mental wrecks banks, but common poverty—caused by the loss of money belonging to 3ther people as well as yourself— dismantles and dishevels thousands of brains every year. Suicide usu ally follows the wreckage of loss of fortune and thev call that— ‘'he went crazy, and blowed ’em our.” Physical wrecks arc brought about by breakfast foods, sun baths, patent medicines, out-late o-nights, wimmen, deflation, de pression, debility, hen peckedness, corsets, past due notes, tight shoes, opium, cats fighting after 11 p. m., 6-cent cotton, high-priced gasoline, and mothers-in-law. I knew a man once that was perfectly happy, weighed 168 pounds, robust, healthy, had plenty money, a lovely family—but he decided to get rich quick and com menced to "gamble on the board.” In 3 months, he was a physical wreck, in 6 months, he was a men tal wreck and in 9 months he was a corpse in an automobile wreck. His demise took place the after noon he received a wire for more margin, and margin is the thing he didn’t have no more of. Let’s all avoid wrecks from now on by not doing the things that fetch ’em on. MAN KIDNAPPED BY MISTAKE Stockton, Cal.—E. T.

Beer Dealers To Pay Special Tax The Bureau of Internal Revenue desires that every dealer in malt liquors wines and fermented fruit juices be given an opportunity to read the following statement, and to that end requests the coopera tion of the press in publishing the entire article. There appears to be considerable misunderstanding upon the part of dealers in malt liquors, wines and fermented fruit juices as to their liability for special tax in connec tion with the sale of their product. In order to remove any misunder standing in regard to them atter, the following statement is submit ted: Purchasers of special tax stamps, at the rate of $20 per year, bearing the title, "Retail Dealer in Fer mented Liquors,” may legally en gage only in the sale, in less quan tities than five gallons at one time, of fermented, (malt) liquors of 3.2 per cent alcoholic content by weight. Every person who sells or offers for sale fermented malt liquors in quantities of not less than five gal lons at one time, but who does not deal in wines and fermented fruit juices, is considered a wholesale dealer in malt liquor, and, as such is required to purchase a special tax stamp at the rate of $50 per year. Purchasers of special tax stamps, at the rate of $25 per year, bearing the title "Retail Liquor Dealer,” may engage not only in the sale of fermented (malt) liquors but also -—-«---_ in the sale of 3.2. per cent wines end fermented fruit juices, in less quantities than five gallons at one rime, without incurring additional liability. A wholesale liquor dealer shall pay $100 pear year. Such dealers may not only sell wines and fer mented fruit juices containing not mere than 3.2 per cent of alcohol by weight, but may likewise sell fermented malt liquors of like al coholic strength in quantities of not less than five gallons at one time, without incurring add'tional special tax liability. A qualified wholesale dealer in malt liquor and a •qualified whole sale dealer can net sell in quantities of less than five gallons w'^hrut incurring liability as a retail dealer nor can a qualified tetail dealer in malt liquor, or a qualified retail dealer, sell in quantities of five gal lons or more at one time, without incurring liability for special tax js a wholesale dealer. Special taxes are payable on a fiscal year basis, beginning July’ 1 of each year, and every ioiler in malt liquors or wines and ferment ed fruit juices is required to pur chase a new special tax stamp ef fective July 1, 1933. The purchase of a special tax stamp as retail or wholesale dealer in malt liquors or wines and fermented fruit juices does not authorize the purchaser thereof to transact such buisness in conflict with State laws, or authorize the sale of spirituous liquors for beverage purposes.
