| “MA” BURDICK, SALVATION ARMY
“Ma” Burdick, slxty-year-old Sal
vation Army lassie and war heroine, is
back from the battlefields of Europe.
It wasn’t her silver hair alone that
made Ma Burdick, who was one of the
first women war workers to go abroad,
conspicuous among the gallant band
that served under the Salvation Army’s
red shield behind the trenches. She
held the ple-baklng record for France
with 324 pies made In 24 hours. Of
flapjacks she made so many that no
body ever had the energy or patience
to keep score. She fried doughnuts,
too, and then carried them to the sol
diers as they came from the trenches.
She mended the doughboys’ uniforms
and gave first aid treatment to more
than one wounded man.
After months of labor from day
light until long after dark, Ma col
lapsed and had to be taken to a hos
pital In Paris. She regained her
strength there, returned and remained

Ma, whose official title Is Mrs. Ensign Floyd Bnrdlck, took her whole
family overseas with her. Her aged husband chopped wood for her flapjack
fires. Her son was in the trenches, and her daughter was, like herself, a Salva
tion army worker.
Wanted: Half-Cent Piece for Paying Luxury I axes
COMMUNICATIONS have reached the treasury department urging the coin
ing of a half-cent piece as a means of making exact payments of revenue
taxes, but there Is no Indication that the department will favor the proposition.
Agitation on the subject, report
ed from Chicago and otner ciues, 11
was stated by treasury officials, would
be successful only If sufficiently strong
to Induce action by congress. Such ac
tion would be necessary before a coin |
of a new denomination could be Issued.
Inasmuch as the extra half cent —
which taxpayers are required to pay -
on numerous articles goes Into the
treasury. Its officials would not be like
ly to take the lead In a move which
would cut off a portion erf the revenue.
V»c unrw '
TO MAKE
HALF-onr
COINS —
Members or congress, as me aireci repraeuauvra ui -
plan the proposal.
Officials of the Internal revenue bureau are trying to prevent profiteering
through greater increases in prices than justified by war taxes. The regula
tion for the collection of the luxury tax has been framed specifically with a
view to this end. It is provided that it must be made clear to the customer
just what the price of the article is and the amount of the tax.
Although the luxury tax has been in effect only a short time reports of
profiteering are reaching the revenue bureau. Revenue agents say violations
will not be tolerated.
Under the revenue law false representations are subject to a fine of not
more than $1,000 or Imprisonment of not more than one year, or both.
