War Tax ON TELEPHONE CALLS 
Speaking today of the Federal 
revenue tax of one cent on all tele- 
phone messages costing fifteen cents, 
and over, which went into effect on 
Dec. 1st, Manager I. W. Rolfe of the 
telephone company said: 
“The preparation for the collection 
of the one-cent tax has been a big job 
for the telephone company. It in- 
volves instructions to the operators 
for the collection of this tax at pub- 
lic pay stations and the making of 
special preparations for billing sub- 
scribers. 
“The law requires the telephone 
company to collect this tax, in addi- 
tion to the regular charge for the 
message. Notification of this new tax 
is being sent out with the bills to all 
subscribers, and other notices have 
been placed near all public telephones. 
“The new law applies not only to 
all messages on which the initial rate 
is fifteen cents or more per message, 
but also to all messages on which the 
total charge for a single conversation, 
including overtime, amounts to fifteen 
cents or more. Thus, while a call at 
the initial rate of five cents or ten 
cents bears no tax, should the conver- 
sation be prolonged over the period 
which would make the aggregate 
charge fifteen cents or more, the tax 
of one cent is imposed. 
“A subscriber making a toll call 
from any of the automatic pay sta- 
tions will be asked by the operator to 
‘Please drop one cent Federal tax in 
the twenty-five cent slot.’ When the 
penny drops, it will be heard by the 
operator. 
“In cases where calls are made 
from subscribers’ coin box telephones, 
the one-cent charge in each case will 
be billed to the subscriber just as toll 
calls are billed.” 
B. F. Kerrrn’s THEATRE. 
The most massive and beautiful 
musical act in vaudeville, B. A. 
Rolfe’s “Ye Colonial Days,’ with a 
beautiful stage setting, a large com- 
pany of talented musicians, handsome 
costumes, and gorgeous light effects, 
comes to B. F. Keith’s Theatre next 
week as one of the features of a very 
strong show. This big musical act is 
up to the high standard established by 
Mr. B. A. Rolfe as a vaudeville pro- 
ducer. Chick Sale, who has not’ ap- 
peared in Boston in several years, re- 
turns from a long and successful tour 
of the West. Mr. Sale is without a 
peer as an impersonator of rural 
characters. He will offer his country 
school entertainment, impersonating 
in turn a school marm, a foolish girl 
scholar, a tough red headed kid, a 
nice little girl, and the chairman of 
the country school committee and 
town constable. Mr. Sale’s act is one © 
long hearty laugh from start to finish. 
The propellers of aeroplanes such 
as are used in the present European 
war may be made of ‘selected ash, 
which is both strong and light and 
will not split under vibration or 
shock, or of built-up layers of spruce 
with mahogany centers. The frame- 
work of the machines, too, is gener- ~ 
ally made of wood, spruce being 
much used on account of its straight 
grain and freedom from hidden de- 
fect: 
If you are not under discipline or 
restraint, you are not amounting: to 
much,
