"eas" Tax Exemption Asked

State Comptroller Gordy asked the
Attorney General for a ruling on
claim for exemption on the gasoline
tax Of one cent a gallon made by the
United States Industrial Chemical
Company of this city.
1t appears that the Chemical Com
pany thinks the State owes it money
because 1t paid the tax on alcohol
mixed with gasoline and some Of
which mixture as motor fuel was sold
outside the State.
1t further appears that the company
named buys its gasoline from oil
manufacturing companies and mixes
it with alcohol. The gasoline manu-
featuring company collects the tax on
the gasoline, but there is also tax
collectable on the alcohol when sold
as motor fuel.
Assistant Attorney General Allan
H. Fisher said that on the statement
of facts presented the company was
not entitled to rebate.

To Link Farms To Markets OF City.

To Link Farms To Markets OF City.
Baltimore
A move of probably far-reaching i'm
portance in bringing Maryland farm
ers and Baltimore produce dealers
into closer relationship is about to be
launched under auspices of the Mer-
chants and Manufacturers Associa-
ton. It contemplates ownership and
control of wholesale distributing agen-
cies through farmers cooperative as
sociations and creation of an impair
tial auditing, reporting or accounting
service as between farmers and deal
ers.
To study the plan committee COM
posed of many of the most prominent
men in the counties has been named
by the Maryland Agricultural Society
to meet similar body representative
Of the Merchants and Manufacturers
Association.
The problem the committee expects
to solve is how to establish spirit of
tconfidence between farmers and pro-
duce men, which now is lacking to the
detriment of both. The first move
was made on June 20, when A. S.
Goldsborough, secretary of the city
association, approached Secretary OF
Commerce Hoover and Secretary
Agriculture Wallace seeking a solu-
ton.
The interest taken by the Federal
officials lied to recommendation that
the association communicate with
Alexis L. Clark, chief of the Bureau
Of Markets, Department of Agricul-
ture Of New Jersey, who has made
study OF cooperative marketing. Mr..
Clark's reply, just received, in part is
as follows:
Methods and practices of food dis
tribution are responsible for ire
mendous economic loss to this coun-
try.
Zone Of the fundamental factors
responsible for this waste and loss
| is the lack of confidence between
producer and dealer. In the business
of handling farm products at whole
sale, there are two lines which hold
out promises of economy and eff
cheney in the future. These are:
First, the ownership and control
of wholesale distributing agencies
through Farmers Cooperative Assoc
Citations, and second, commission bust.
ness in which the producers conf
dence is maintained by some form of
impartial auditing, reporting or &C,
counting service.
Standardization of farm products,
scientific distribution, economical
wholesaling and retailing are all vital
problems in food marketing which are
now held back in general way, be-
cause between the producers and the
cause of this lack of confidence be-
tween the producers and the dealers"

 Walloping Rose made eight hits in nine times at bat and scored seven runs. Her team won by a score of 30 to IA. The game was called at the end of the seventh inning because the New Haven outfielders were tired re- trieving her long hits.

Perhaps a lassie will prefer still another ar engagement, a dress, very simple in deed with it's little pleated skirt, over which she may wear a little straight jacket edged with scallops, all this in beige twill.
 Smart Knitted Wear

 Many Oriental Designs
 As for embroidery, Eastern patterns will form the chief points of interest. Chinese designs, ornament from Jap an, and again colorful bits from East India will enrich the frocks of our wee misses.
 For special occasions there are the pretty crepe de chine and challis dresses. One of these in crepe had gathered bits of silk. It further adorn- ed itself with arosette of silk from which flew narrow ribbons. Challis in scarlet patterned with white dots made a demurely bright costume for one blonde miss, her very short dou- ble skirt having banded itself in white From inside a heading (which made the waist line) tiny ribbons appeared and bowknotted themselves on either hip. Short sleeves bound in white, and a small round white collar con- pleted this confection.

 Fragile georgette, or white organdie seem best adapted for weaving this fairy frock. Frillings of the material outline two flying panels on the skirt, and yet another two loose panels, hanging from the shoulders of the blouse.

High colors, patterns that are conventional or scenic, others that charm us with graceful punches and sprays of flow CTS are all seen in every known com binatiOn of color There are the dain- ty colored ones and the more gaudy ones, each designed to lend a certain note to the costume with which it is carried.

 Girdles promise to be more popular than ever this winter and are shown in many different ways. Some are made of ribbons with buckles shown at regular spaces. Others are silk cords with buckles of cut steel, jet, highly coroled composition or of beads Belts, too, are good and by means of braiding or appliquing contrasting col ored kid, suede or leather, delightful results are attained that give the cos tunes on which they are worn, a most distinctive touch.

 These are but few of the hundreds of things a woman adds to her toilet as final touch. There are still all kinds Of rings, of bags. of sashes, and neckwear, but the main thing about any or all of them is that the correct thing be chosen for the occasion and forthe gown with which it is worn.
