Threat to Car Owners
In Proposed Taxes
Individual Should Fight Against
New Attitude of Legislators,
Saws Eaafman

There Is definite threat not only
to the prosperity of the automobile in
dustry but to the pocketbook of indi-
vidua. automobile owners in the agita-
ton which is now being carried on
among members of Congress for heavy
special taxes upon automobiles. If
these taxes should pass they are Ger
tain to cause a decided curtailment in
the use of autom obiles and all the ad-
vantages that the American people
have gained from them says Lee J.
Eastman, president OF the Packard
Motor Car Company of New York.
News from Washington" says Mr..
Eastman, Indicates that there is a
very real danger that Congress will
place burden of something like half
a billion on automobile owners. 1t has
surprised me to learn that many, if not
most, of the national legislators still
think the automobile is luxury and
that they are planning to tax it as a
luxury

Velie Production Is
Increasing Ranid1y

Production at the Velie factory, It is
stated by George w. Garland jr., local
distributor, has reached a stage where
necessary material is not available in
sufficient quantity to maintain output
equalN to the orders received. The
prices of Velie cars were cut deeply
at the first signs of depression last
fall, and as consequence a continu-
Gus production was maintained all dur
ing the fall and winter months, when
general business was at low ebb. At no
time has the Volle factory been closed
except ten days fo~ inventory.
With the turn Of tie new wear sales
increased remarkably, Sad at present
untitled orders alone will -eouire two
months to handle. The surplus of or
ders is steadily increasing. Already an
average output Of thirty cars dss has
been reached, and shipment the PAST
day.

May Replace Steel
Bridge on Warburton Ave.

The possibility OF replacing the
present rotting steel structure of the
W arburton Avenue Bridge at Hastings
4,i4-HudSon is seen in resolution
passed recently by the board of vii
laee trustees. This resolution, in
troduced by Frederick H. Charles, asks
tne supervisor and the town board
Of the town Of Greenburgh to take up
the matter of making the bridge safe
for the great traffic passing over it
daily. On Sundays and holidays the
traffic is heavy all day long Should
the bridge give way calamity would
result, as the distance from the bridge
10 the brook is seventy-tive feet Parts
Of the bridge are badly corroded.
1t is not necessary, however, for
autoists to follow Warburton Avenue,
as Broadway from Yonkers up is one
Of the best paved roads in the state.

 Certain cases of veterans call for occasional medical treatment If they have no money the Red Cross can often provide for them tempo rarily while this treatment is being given, and if necessary, often is able to lend small sums of money without interest.
 In cases where veterans are sent to hospitals, the Red Cross is able to perform these services: To see that the man gets transportation to the hospital to which he is assigned {; provide means for such recreation as the doctor allows him to enjoy follow up compensational claims pending with the Bureau of War Risk Insurance; file his application for vocational training, and endeavor to look after his family during his absence. Where a veterans con- dition warrants it, the Red Cross will provide financial aid, pending the outcome of the governments adjustment of compensation claims.

Fresh Air.

MeLhuSlan liVed to De S9S years old. If you live to be fifty, you will live to be beating tEe law of mortality averages by something like l 5 years. Life might become a bit stale if we all lived a thou sand years. The 20th century Amer ican has fallen back to the other extreme.
 Methuslah's famous span of life was lived in the simplicity of open air and outdoor environment. As you plan your scheme of daily life to include simple exercise and as much fresh air and outdoors as possible, so will you be able to in- crease the years before you become a customer of the undertaken. It's easy to go home in the evening and sit down inside with a newspaper or a book and let your muscles grow fiabby with disuse. But it's easy to die before your time. If you don't believe it, look at the mortali- ty column in the daily newspapers and see the ages of those listed there. The greatest medicine in the world is fresh air and you can write your own prescriptions. A daily walk in the evenings is the simplest and most available exer- else for most of us. Get out in the outskirts of town and smell the flowers; let the evening breeze get into your lungs. The smell of the grass and the flowers will be worth all the trouble. Watch the stars come out in the sky. Listen to the songs of the bullfrogs in the ponds. It's cheaper and better than drug store medicine.
