SOFT DRINK TAX MELTS AWAY IN SUMMER HEAT?

Officials of the internal revenue bureau have started on the war path against soft drink dealers who have failed to make proper reports of taxes. The maximum penalty is a fine of SIO,OOO or one year’s imprisonment, or both. _ The bureau is making a drive not only for collection of delinquent soft drink taxes, but also the socalled luxury tax, the tax on rent-' als earned from the lease or license of motion picture films, the admission taxes, the manufacturers tax on jewelry and works of art, and the tax on toilet articles and propriety madicines. The Pythian Sisters will have a picnic supper at the home of Mrs. Harry Eger Thursday evening of this week. Each member is requested to bring the usual refreshments. AU members who have automobiles should notify the members without automobiles.
