The new personnel is required to carry on the Treasury Depart ment’s intensified campaign a- gainst tax evasion. Secretary of the Treasury Fred M.

President Truman has given the campaign against tax evaders and the recruitment drive his express approval, stating: “I am thoroughly in sympathy with the plan to enlarge the Bu reau of Internal Revenue Forces to whatever extent is required to insure full compliance with the law.” Secretary Vinson has impressed upon the Bureau of Internal Rev enue Agents the importance o obtaining men of good character in building up the investigative force. In this connection he said recently: ‘‘This will be no gestapo. It will be a taxpayers’ law enforce ment group, protecting the gov ernment’s interest in taxes, and at the same time protecting the honest taxpayer against the black market operator, . the racketeer and every other kind of tax e- vader. And it will be good busi ness too.

Restaurant operators were re minded today by George W. Tom- in, OPA District Price Executive in Columbia, of the following changes in filing, pricing, arfd record-keeping for restaurants, ef fective August 27, 1945. Most * of the changes do not affect ceiling prices but improve compliance. No further corrections of base period filings are permitted. Res taurants must file all in-line prices they establish with their local War Price and Rationing Board within three days after an item is first offered for sale. Each filing must be accompanied by a brief explanation of how the price was computed. “OPA is au thorized to modify the ceiling prices fixed for items and to set in-line prices for restaurants that either have failed to file ceilings or filed them incompletely or in correctly,” Mr. Tomlin explained. Attempts by operators to charge more than the legal ceil ing prices for coffee will be checked by two actions. One pro vides that effective August 27, the iling of a higher price than five cents for a cup or pot of hot cof ee is not permitted except in the case of new establishments. The other sets the ceiling price of cof fee at the lower of the maximum prices charged by the restaurant during the two periods, October 4 to 10, 1942, or April 4 to 10, 1943. “Another change permits res taurants to sell milk in the fu ture at either the retail price es- ablished by area orders or at the price charged during the period uly 23 to 29, 1944. “Restaurants are now required o retain only one copy of each menu or price list,” Mr. Tomlin said, “to reduce storage space re quired for these price lists.” By ELLIOTT PINE A primer for horse bettors is MSoon to be published by the Thor- t oughbred Racing Association of ^America, similar to a book just ‘out called “Thoroughbred Racing land Breeding.” The latter work [ will be furnished to every sports editor in the country. The primer j will bring out why horses don’t i run “true to form.” Sofne reasons why, as well as a lot of other per- ! tinent facts, will be given. For in stance, there are 881 breeding farms, covering 2,350,000 acres, in the U. S., an area three times as .large as Rhode Island. Some 8,700 brood mares, 780 stallions, and 5,500 yearlings live on these farms. It costs about $840 a year to main tain one of the fancy animals. Jockeys get paid $15 for every race ... if he wins he gets $35, plus 10 per cent of the purse for the race, which may run into siz able money. . . . There are 297 railway express cars exclusively used for horse shipping . . . coughs and colds, similar to the human af flictions, are serious worries to vet erinarians . . . horses’ teeth re quire constant care too. So do their hooves. All in all, owning and running race horses is a costly and bothersome business. Most owners, however, are quite wealthy . . . their racing stables are their idea of a hobby. They lose considerable every year. Lt. (jg) John Boyda, former Cleveland Rams full back, has • been named coach for the Al bany, Calif., amphibious base football team. Bob Lange, ! pitcher for Wilkes - Barre of i the Eastern league, spent 51 / months in the army. Frenchy ‘ Bordagaray of the Dodgers be- r comes a 10-year man in the big leagues next spring. Pvt. Don Kolloway, former White | Sox second baseman, has won i the bronze star for heroism as a stretcher-bearer. The sailors at San Diego base yell at umpires, “Hike to Build ing 73!” . . . that being the psycho pathic ward. . . . Little Ben Hogan looms as a real threat to Byron. Nelson, who has been having things all his own way in golf tourna ments. . . . Hogan, recently re leased from the air force, defeated Nelson in the Nashville Open. Al “Pappy*’ Strum of the St. Peters- berg Yacht club set two new world records for speed boats ... in the class D runabouts, he beat the one- mile mark of 45.91 m.p.h. by roaring the distance in 50.84 m.p.h. He raised the five-mile speed mark to 46.58 from 45.57 m.p.h. Another set of records was smashed recently by Brenda Hel- ser, movie starlet and woman’s swimming star . . . she broke the 100-yard mark by 2.5 seconds, the 100-meter free style by 1 second, and the 200-meter by 2.7 seconds. DDT More Avail able; Use It Cautiously Clemson, Sept. 15. — Certain cautions regarding the use of DDT are sounded by W. C. Nettles, Clemson extension entomologist. Research is still in progress re garding DDT, a war-developed in sect control material used suc cessfully by the armed forc"s and public health agencies, Mr. Nettles explains. Previous use has been under the d'rection of trained personnel and in formulas or a particular purpose. It ir not a cure-all for insect problems. Make sure you have the righ", formula for the right use and that you use it in the right place. Nettles advises. This will prevent many disappointments. Remember that DDT acts more slowly in killing some insects tha \ other poisons; however, one ap plication lasts for weeks for somj household insects. DDT may not be as poisonous t > man and domesticated animal; as some of the insecticides now in use, but it should be used cau tiously. In oil solutions it is ab sorbed readily through the skin cf man and animals, so it is well to avoid repeated or prolonged ex posure to such solutions and to wash it off the skin with sbap and v/ater. Avoid also breathing spray or dust; avoid residues on fruits or vegetables and on feed. DDT is very poisonous to fish and cold-blooded animals. Kerosene solutions of DDT may become a fire hazard and prove injurious to plants and animals. DDT properly prepared has not been especially injuriuos to most plants. Much information is needed with respect to soil dam age, effects on wildlife, and bene ficial insect species including the honeybee. As a wall spray a coarse spray rather than a mist is desired. Screens to doors and porches may be covered with a paint brush. Some formulations of DDT will leave a visible residue and may I damage surfaces.
