revenue actf
The sales tax regulations Of the
Treasury Department says II II and
fixes the tax at 8 per cent. The
National Motorists Association con.
tends that Il 10 not and has asked,
In the name of affiliated clubs
throughout the country. that the
tax be eliminated.
Under the sales tax section Of the
law, regulations must be drawn for
the purpose Of interpreting tho rev.

the term accessories" and the reg.
ulations as drawn hold that q radi'

category.
In taking up the cudgel on behalf
of affiliated clubs to which the B
per cent tax In the aggregate repre-
sents q large amount. and In the
case of some clubs as much as
$1,000, Il is contended that the EN-.
blem on radiator IL not necessary

ornament. and that II is not an ac-
cessory as contemplated by the Con.
gress In enacting the law.
This question will be argued be-
fore the solicitor Of internal rev.
enue. based on q brief which has
been filed setting forth the conten.
tinns of automobile owners affiliated
with N. M. A. clubs. It Ii hoped

One point being stressed In the
argument 10 that 1t is the paid M

by Friday. MIR. Carr also announced
that his client had instructed him to
file divorce proceedings against the
artist, as result of Mrs. Wakefield s
offer of 500 month If Mrs. kendrici
would give up her husband.
Mrs. Kendrick said that she hat
reached her decision not to accept Mrs
Wakefield $ offer while her husband
and Mrs. Wakefield were on a motor
trip together. The unusual triangle had
promised to work out smoothly unit
Mrs. Kcndrick left the home Of Mrs

Snulsito. When reached Mrs. Wake
fields home her first words were that
she was divorcing her husband. I told
her ! wished I also was free. And
then she told me she would like to marry
Rodney
II was then, Mrs. Kendrick says, that
Mrs. Wakefield made her proposal to
pay her 500 month for life.
According to Kendrick, there had
been a peaceful separation between
him and his wife long before the tri-
angle arose. He says there was no con-
cealment on his part or on that Of
Mrs. Wakefield.
Mrs. Rodney Kendrick, mother Of the
artist, sides with her son and Mrs.
Wakefield. She blames Mrs. Kendrick
for marrying her son when she knew
she was a victim of tubfculosis. The
Hendricks were married three years ago
! in Elizabeth, n. j. They came to the
coast Immediately after their marriage.

Uncommon Sense
Learning How to Learn
By JOHN BLAKE
THE best thing that college does for

THE best thing that college does for
L a man is to teach him to learn.
Learning isn't as easy as It seems.
Jhe child learns by imitation. II he
happens to have the right sort Of models
he learns pretty well.
women of forty painfully learning to
correct the bad grammar they got
from their parents. They find the bad
the company with which they associ-
ate. SO they are willing to take the
trouble to get rid Of it..
TN college man gets not 40 much
L knowledge, as the knowledge that
teaches him to get knowledge.
When he gets that his real education
can begin.
I II he is patient and willing, and has
plenty Of grit he can get the same
knowledge out of life.
MOST Of the art Of learning consists
AV1 Of an orderly brain and thinking
machine that runs smoothly and sys-
tematically. It consists Of taking up
one thing at time and studying 1t,
and its relations to other things.
1t consists above all in thoroughness,
which means that one lesson, once
learned, need never be learned over
again.
You cannot dig into the encyclopedia
and amass knowledge that will be Of
any use to you unless you learn how
to study the encyclopedia. Neither can
you learn the lessons of life unless you
learn how to study them.
A n intelligent man can acquire any
"A business or profession that does not
like art and writing and few other
subjects-require q native knack.
But he can never do that unless he
first learns how to learn.
Then. like the late Charles II. Miller,
Of the New York Times. he can take
up unhesitatingly the study Of the Rus
sian language at the age Of sixty-two.
and be sure that in few years he will
have mastered at lest it's fundamentals,
and read 1t with comparative ease.
