"r -v ' ... - ..v ; - ; V ' Misrepresentation of Tax The attention of dealers and the public generally i> invited to the fob lowing appearing in the Regulation* for the enforcement of the provisions of the Revenue Act of 1932, advises V. iS. Humbright, collector of Internal revenue: > . , "Whoever in connection with the sale or lease, or offer for sale or lease, of any article, or for the purpose of making such sale or lease, makes any statement, written or oral, (1) intended or calculated to lead any person to believe that any part of the price at which such article is sold or leased, or offered for aale or lease, consists of if tax imposed under the authority of the United States, or (2) ascribing a particulai part of such price to a tax imposed under the authority of the United States, knowing* that such statement is false or that the taxjs j not so great us the portion of such price ascribed to such tax, shall bo guilty of u misdemeanor and upon conviction thereof shall bo punished by a flno of not more thun $1,000.00 or by imprisonment not exceeding one year, or both," If a manufacturer or other vendor misrepresents the tax, he is guilty of a misdemeanor and is liable to a fine of $1,000 and to imprisonment for a year. This provision is designed, among other things, to prevent a vendor adding more than the umount of the tax to the price of an article and representing that the increase is due to the tax. South Carolina raised only $1,802 of its $10,000 quota for the Victory fund to finance the coming Democratic national campaign and pay the debts of the party, according to the announcement made at Chicago theu other day by the loader of the drive, John II. Fahey. In the whole country, 101,972 people gave $719,718, which is less than half of the $1,500,000 asked for, and not enough to pay the debts outstanding, including the large qne to Kaskob. Tho deficit in the p?i*ry treasury is still $200,000.it was stated officially. Miss Eunice Ford, Limestone collego dean, and T. B. Btackhouse, Columbia business man, were married at Lincolnton, N. C.

Chicago n I ho proves that frogleg eating Is becoming "Anierlcnnese," for more than tldrty-slx million were eaten In that city last year. San Francisco palates were "tickled"., by more than sixteen million frog legs; New Orleans ate slightly more, and Los Angeles slightly less. In fact, frog lugs have become so popular that a new Industry?frog ranching?has eome into American In dustrial life. California has no native I rugs hut ranchers have seen to It that many pairs have been Imported from Louisiana to habilitate synthetic frog lakes ami marshes. The frog's entry en American menus recalls many strange foods of the world. In the markets of the Cnlted Stales where frog legs may be purchased, the housewife may buy a fresh "marsh rabbit" which, before trapping and skinning, was none other than ft muskrat. For two centuries a town in Massachusetts has supported ft seaweed (Irish moss) Industry. Irish moss Is torn from New Kngland rocks and Is used In making blancmange and many other puddings. There are some '200 edible seaweeds from which are extracted Ingredients for American Ice ' creams. Jellies, pastries, cereal foods and salads, while In Japan the weeds are boiled with rice and strips of meat and placed In a popular sandwich called sushi.

He mnkes his choice of the wriggling creatures, It Is speared, split along the back, cut Into small pieces, and with soy sauce, Is cooked over a charcoal tire. Perhaps few people live as close to nature as the pygmies of the Belgian Congo. Tender roots are staples, but birds, small game, rodent* or caterpillars are not objectionable. In addition to many viands on the pygmy bill of fare, the Madagascar natives eat a species of spider, silkworms, grasshoppers, and dried locusts. When a "cloud" of locusts settlnfl?on n crop, a sufficient number of them are collected to offset the loss of food which the Insects consume. Every good native Madagascan housewife has in reserve a supply of dried locusts to sustain the family In times of faming. Grasshopper soup Is a Hottentot dish of merit. Arabs make a flour of the dried Insects. Yak cheese Is a staple In the Mull ' kingdom of western China and would | not be objectionable to the western traveler If It were not for the numerous yak lmlrs In the substance.

When near the choice morsel his master strikes him sharply on the nose with a stick and completes the digging. Later the animal is rewarded by tfie rough trimmings of the truffle with a view to keeping his truffle scent keen. Basques about Bilboa, Spain, relish white, transparent worms about two inches long.

HOME OF THE FAM0U8 FHAVDS People Seem to Ask to Be Swindled ? in Both Old and Modern Time* The world eeem* to .be ready to be fooled. But it makes a big difference under what circumstance# the fooung is done. People of two continent# patd to see and laughed at Barnum's deception# shown in hi# circu#. They sneered when Dr. Cook'# claim# to discovery of the Nofth Pole were found to bo false. 'But the misrepresentations of John II. Curtis in the tragic Lindbergh kidnapihg have brought a atorm of bitter anger upon his head and landed Curtis in Jal1In 183b a New York paper published reports of remarkable discoveries on the moon by "Sir John Herschel" with his new and powerful telescope at the Cape of Good Hope, Africa. "Herahel" saw strange creatures on the moon, something between a human being and a largo ape with wings like a bat. Scientists lent respectful ears and the world at large i"ute up" these stories. Then it was found the whole thing was the imagination of a writer in Brooklyn, Richard I^ocke. And everybody laughed. The same year, 1835, P. T. Barnum began hoaxing the credulous out of $4,000,000 and made? them like it. First he exhibited "Joice Heth, 161veat-old negro nurse of George Washington." At her death surgeons d?< I Glared she could not have been over 80. Next came his "Fejei mermaid, then a negro he made up with strange head of hair and hairy *hide passed off' as "Zip the What-Is-It?" Barnum's "Wild Man of Borneo" was in the same class all proving there is gold in gullibility. In 1007 Br. Frederick Cook started | for Greenland. He was not heard from until September 1, lp09, when 'a lonely telegrapher on the Shetland I Islands informed the world Cook had ! reached th?. North Pole. Royalty and cheering crowds greeted him on his I return. Then came news of Peary s (discovery and Cook's exposure as a j faker. Again the people, except for 1 some scientists that were fooled, laughed. Ephemeral estates are one of the commonest forms of fakery and have i taken millions from hopeful heirc and ! put them into the pockets of shyster lawyers. In England it is the Drake estate used over and over again on succeeding generations, always good for fees from the gullible. In Amer! ica the same scheme has been worked on supposed heirs of a Springer estate in the heart of Wilmington, Del.; the Anneke Jans property in New York worth many millions awaiting division, and so on. In 1026 an enterprising writer named Frank Power announced he had discovered the body of Lord j Kitchener in a cemetery at Egersund, j I Norway. Kitchener, as the world . knew went down with the steamship | Hampshire, sunk by a German subI marine in 1016. 'But Power had the ! entire world agasp as the coffin supj posedly containing the body of the i famous Englishman was transported to London. WiUfl^foe stage for maximum publicity all set the coffin was opened. It was empty. Power was 1 merely promoting his moving picture reproducing the sinking of the Hampshire. Nothing was done to these master hoaxers. In fact, the people seemed to enjoy having been gulled. But John H. Curtis was clapped into jail and is charged with obstructing justice. His arrest put an abrupt end to the most tragic hoax ih history.
