paid little, if any, attention? Well
it's here, now, and it will effect
all of us.
This fur coat business isn't all.
The government needs quite a
few billion extra for national de
fense, so we pay for it.
We're Paying.
Here's how:
Admission to anything which
costs one cent or over will be
taxed to the tune of 10 percent.
That means that if you go to a
bowery dance where admission to
each single dance is five cents,
you pay six cents for a ticket.
The law says that anyone In
the uniform of the armed forces
of the U. S. would be exempt from
this tax. Yes, I asked about the

spreading. To date, there are seven
new glamour girls.
