American Indirect Taxes
The average American consumer
now pays 13% cents of traceable in-
direct taxes in each dollar he
spends, or $242 a year out of a $150-
a-month salary. Another 5 to 6
cents of hidden taxes lurk in the
background, which brings to 19
cents the total indirect taxes con-
tained in each dollar spent, a rise
of nine-tenths cents in 1938 from the
1937 content. Eliminated from cal-
culations are all taxes difficult to
“pass on” in prices—income, excess
profits, estate, gift and inheritance
taxes, realty taxes on owner-occu-
pied residences, employee’s share
of social security taxes, etc. Rents
conceal the largest proportion of
taxes, 26.1 per cent; next heaviest
load is borne by the automobile, 20.3
per cent. Traceable tax content in
clothing is 9.5 per cent, and in food
7.8 per cent.

Washington and Harrison
George Washington has some-
times been called “the second Cin-
cinnatus” in allusion to his having
been called to the presidency from
his plantation at Mount Vernon, to
which he retired after having vol-
untarily resigned his commission as
commander in chief of the army.
But it was William Henry Harrison,
who was called from his estate at
North Bend, on the Ohio river, to
be the ninth President of the United
States, who was termed “the Cin-
cinnatus of the West.” In both of
these instances the allusion is to the
story of the Roman historian, Livy,
relating that in the year 458 B.
C., when the Aequi and Volsci
had shut up the Roman consul,
Lucius Minucius, and his army in
a defile, and, Rome itself being in
great danger, the Roman senate, in
alarm, had made Lucius Quintius
Cincinnatus dictator, the messen-
gers sent to inform him of his ap-
pointment, found him at the plow.
Modern investigators, however,
have pronounced the most attrac-
tive parts of the story fiction.

Mechanical Safeguards
Protect Steel Workers
When the steel industry first set
out on an organized campaign for
safety it concentrated on an attempt
to eliminate accidents through the
installation of mechanical safe-
guards. Efforts to achieve safety
by this means have never ceased
and many thousands of safety de-
vices have been installed in steel
mills, says the American Iron and
Steel institute. It is the practice in
the industry to have all plans for
equipment thoroughly checked from f
the standpoint of safety before in-
stallations are made. Safety-pro-
moting equipment in a steel mill
falls into five general classes;
Inclosed belts, gears and other
moving parts and similar equipment
which stands constantly ready to
prevent accidents; safety railings on
all stairs and runways are in this
category.
Machines such as cranes and con-
tinuous mills that have reduced the
danger and the back-breaking toil
from steel mill jobs, making the typ-
ical steel worker an alert, skilled or
semi-skilled worker employed to use
his head more than his muscles.
Equipment and devices to im-
prove working conditions, such as
better lighting and ventilation of
plants.
Safety clothing of all kinds, includ-
ing goggles, gloves, masks, steel-
toed shoes, asbestos coats and hel-
mets which protect eyes, limbs and
lives of workers.

Chemists Lack Words
To Describe Perfumes
The food and perfume industries
are handicapped by the lack of
words to describe precisely the
odors and flavors of their products,
according to Industrial and Engi-
neering Chemistry, publication of
the American Chemical society.
Years of patient labor and the co-
operation of huge numbers of noses
may be required to bring order to
the nomenclature of odors and fla-
vors, it is pointed out.
There are few fields affording so
great an opportunity for the exer-
cise of special talents, and the re-
wards for accomplishment include
renown, in view of the extraordinary
influence of these sensations on hu-
man emotions and actions.
The terms “sweet,” “sour,”
“musty,” “fresh,” “salty,” “acrid,”
“bitter” and a few others are the
limit to which it has so far been
possible to go toward defining odors
and flavors, it is said. Chemists
with a wide range of tastes and
smells at their command for com-
parison have developed individual
systems of nomenclature based on
similarities, but even these are so
far incapable of the requisite ex-
actness.
An alcoholic odor, for example,
may mean one similar to that of
ethanol, but it may with equal logic
be intended to suggest any of a doz-
en other alcohols whose character-
istic aromas are quite different.
No standard odor seems to charac-
terize ketones, yet they are notably
odorous. Ethers and esters similar-
ly show wide variations, which no
one has yet classified or explained
in a usable system.
Probably the reason for this cha-
otic situation is the vital role of-per-
sonal idiosyncrasy in human noses
and palates. Of the five human
senses, only taste and smell have
not yet yielded to scientific classi-
fication, and physiologists say that
in reality these two are actually a
single sense.
