KNOX Co. AuT0STS
SAVED LARGE sum
EInination OF Additional
Federal Tax On Machines
Has Been Obtained

Through the efforts of the American
Automobile Association, the national
organization of automobile ownerg.
together with other organizations rep.
resenting various branches of the In
dustry, the owners Of motor vehicles
in the United States have been saved
an additional tax burden of approx.
mately $181 ,25O,OOO in securing the
elimination OF the additional federal
tax on horse power and on gasoline
which had been proposed by the con.
gressional TAX committee.
These figures are based on an in.
creased tax proposed of so cents per
horse power and tax OF one cent per
gallon on gasoline, and figured on the
more than seven and half million
motor vehicles in use in the United
States last year.
Discussing this tax, Charles C..
James secretary of The Ohio State
Automobile Association called atten.
tion to the fact that it would mean a
saving to motorists in Ohio of approx.
imately $9,625,000, based on number
Of motor vehicles in use in the state
last year, and continuing the process
of figuring down to a county basis
means a saving of approximately
$126,750.00 to the owners of such ve-
hicIac In Ku0v Co,p<,,
In bringing about the elimination of
the extra federal tax, by the tax COM
mittee of the lower branch of congress,
the representatives of The American
Automobile Association and other or
ganizations pointed to the fact that
the past year motor vehicles through
out the country carried load Of
$l45,O0O,00O in federal taxes, in addi.
tlon to which the revenue from. license
tags in the various states totalled
$64,OO0,O0O, while the personal proper
ty tax paid on cars amounted to ap.
proximately, $5O.OOO,0OO.
The federal tax which has been pro-
posed would have meant an increase Of
210 per cent over what is now paid,
while in many states additional taxes
are proposal to increase state reven-
ues that would pile up burden on the
motor vehicle owners, which for many
would be practically prohibitive.
The activity Of The American Auto.
mobile Association, according to Sec.
retary James, is evidence that 1t is
looking after the interest of its men,
bership, of whom there are upward
of 10000 in Ohio. and in looking after
the members of the association It has
also protected those owners of motor
vehicles who are not affiliated with
any organization. The Ohio State
Automobile Association is a member
of the national association and be.
cause of this connection al members
of local clubs holding membership in
the state association derived the ben.
eft of any good work accomplished
by the A. A. A.

Old MYTH About Bells.

There is poetic myth that silver
gives sweet tone 20 bells. According
to the bell founders. silver bell would
give about the same tone as one Of
wood. The origin Of the myth, they
say. is quantity mischlev0us. For the
want Of transportation, 1t was the Gus
tom in moro ancient times for bell
casters to work in churchyards, where
they erected temporary foundries. The
parlshloncrs would crowd about. and
to them the founders would beg for
more and more silver to give the bells
q sweeter ring. The silver later found
its way into tavern tills. not into the
bells.

GREATEST GOLFERS
 TO MEET MAY 23
International Contents to Be
 Held in U. s.

Chicago, March 9.-Internationa1 contests among the worlds greatest golfers are in prospect for the coming summer in a series of tournaments starting on May 23 with the British amateur event at Hoylake and end- ing with the women's national cham pionship at Hollyhood Golf club, Deal, N. J.. Oct. 3-S.
 A number of American women as well as men are planning to invade England and probably France, while the British coterie expect to try to retain the American open title won last year at Inverness club, Toledo, by Edward Ray. Some British am- ateurs also plan to have try for the American title, now held by Chick Evans for the second time, when that event is staged at the St. Louis Coun- try club, Sept. 17-24.
 Recently, Champion Evans as we'll as former champion Albert Gardner of Chicago, who lost the British anna teur title to Cyril Tolley last year on the 37th green, announced that busi- ness would prevent their going to Europe this summer. A team is form ing under the leadership of w. C.. Fownes, Jr.. or Pittsburgh, however, to attempt to repeat the unique. feat of w. J. Travis, veteran American golfer who in 1903 won the British title with his uncanny putting.
 The American pilgrims thus far announced are Captain Fownes, Bob- by Jones of Atlanta, Max Marston of New York and Nelson Whitney of New Orleans. Others will likely join these four, and even Evans and Gard ner may reconsider. A number of American professionals also are plan ming to go to Europe, but the per sonnel is not yet definite.
 American women are more eager for chance at foreign titles, as eight excellent players are at present listed to cross the ocean after European golf trophies. They are Miss Alexa Stirling of Atlanta, national champion, Miss Marion Rollins and Mrs. w. A. Gavin of New York, the latter a Briton by birth; Mrs. R. H. Barlow and Miss Mildred Caverly of Phi1a- delphia and Miss Elaine Rosenthal, Miss Edith Cummings and Mrs. F. c. Let's, Jr., western champion, of Chi cago.
 The earIihess of the first event of the year, the British amateur cham pionship, is one of the deterents to American participation. American golfers are seldom in championship form by May 23. Neither will the American women have much spring practice before the start of the Brit ish women's meet at Tuenberry, Scot land. on May 30.
 These British classics are followed by the French women's championship

oected to take in the French event

pected to take in the French event also.
 It will be some two weeks after these foreign contests before national American meets will start with the amateur championship of the West ern Golf association at the Vest moreland club, Chicago, July 11-16, when Chick Evans is carded to de- fend, for the fifth time, the title he won from Bobby Jones last year at Memphis. Bob Gardner is also plan- ming to play in this meet for the first time in several years.
 On the heels of this championship, will come the national open at Co., lumbia club, Washington. D. C., July 1S-21, and then there will be a rest of a month before the Canadian anna teur championship is staged at Win nipeg, Aug 22-27. The Transmits sissippi contest will furnish, golf for western players during the interval with a meet at Denver, Aug. -S-13.
 The women's western championship will be played at the same time as the Canadian amateur, using the Westmoreland club, Chicago, and the international open championship of the Western Golf association, billed for Oakwood club, Cleveland, will overlap both struggles, coming on Aug. 24-26.
 The premier event of the year, the amateur championship of the United States Golf association at St. Louis played for the first time west of the Mississippi river, will take place Sept. 17-24, starting on Saturday and taking up eight days under the new plan. This scheme allows GA to qual- fly on the first day, with all match play at 36 holes fromN Monday to Sat- urday, inclusive. With the revivify- ing of golf after the war suspension, the greatest event in the history of American golf is expected to result from the St. Louis meet
 Just what British golfers will take part is not yet known, but they are pretty sure to make a better showing in numbers than the invaders of last year.
 As proverbially reported, the wom- en will have the last word, contesting the national championship Oct. 3-S, at Deal.

Some Battle This

Two teams from the Stanley Works engaged in a battle for $50 a side, and to most of the spectators the money was not easily won. It was one of the most gruelling affairs on the local court this season. There was more evidence of football and some fisticuffs, than there was basketball. It seemed to many that the efforts of one of the teams was centered on putting John Grobstein, captain Of Department 41 team, out of the rum ming. About every nasty trick that might be used kept Grohktein busy warding off injuries. It is to the credit of the player. that despite this, he acted the part of a gentleman, be- sides putting up a fine game. The Department 41 team won the game" from Department II. the score being 12 to '.
