Everything considered, The

plays that has graced the screen
in many a day. 1t gains especially
in it's adaptation, because there is
an opportunity to give moving life

Pollock text and show the various
locales of the story. And it's big
dramatic climax, that part which
made the play famous, wherein the
little Mary Margaret drops her

CITY APPROPRIATIONS.
Budget Passed Friday Largest in
History of the City.

The city government met last FIJI
day evening for final consideration of
the budget of appropriations for the
coming year, and after general dis
cussion, gave the budget its first and,
under suspension of rules, it's second
reading, and passed it.
The total, $117,604 is the largest
in the history of the city, exceeding
that of last year by $10,S2S, and
that of 1928, the previous high
mark, by $6,654. With higher
State and county tax probable the
indications are that the tax rate will
be several mills higher than last
year, unless there is very material
increase in Valuations
The board has not been unduly
liberal in any department. Every
appropriation was considered care
fully with the view to trimming it
as close to the bone as possible, but
conditions that must be faced made
any closer pruning inadvisable. The
largest items of increase were $4,000
necessary for final payments on the
Main street and Infant street bridges,
and a $4,000 addition to the contin-
cent fund largely to provide for ex
pense of suit to collect the power
company tax.
Following is the list of appropri
ations, with the appropriations of
last year for comnariSOn.

"This kind of attitude is not con-
fined to any one State or any one sec
ton But why should the motorists as
such pay for these pensions? Why
should they be specially penalized for
education? Surely these are general
civic matters. Why should car owners
be specially taxed for hospitals. apart
from the taxes they pay as ordinary
citizens? There Is only one answer
The gold diggers in the various taxing
bodies have gotten away with 1t in the
past.
"Why should the automobile be So
lected out of all the commodities of
commerce for a sales tax? The Gov
ernment had the excuse that the tax
was imposed as an emergency meas
ure and was loath to let go Of good
revenue producer. But this is a very
different thing from a State selecting
the motorist as the special victim of d
sales tax. The distributor would pay
in the first instance, but he would pass
ii on, just as the manufacturers pass
ed the war tax on"
Mr.. Henry pointed out in conclusion
that the A. A. A. fully recognizes the
freedom Of the States to levy taxes In
proportion TO actual road needs of the
community
Because of the difference In road
needs in various sections, it is TO be ex-
pected that special taxes will be heaV-
ier in some States than in others. This,
however. il all the more reason why
the motorist should have II definitely
settled as to who shall impose the spe-
cial taxes on him, what these shall be
and how they are TO be spent. If we

GRAPE TRADE UNHURT
WHEN SALOONS QUIT
Growers in California Assert Fears
of Loss Under Prohibition
Law Were Unfounded.
Rv he Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
SAN FRANCISCO, March 27.-Six
years of grape growing in California
under national prohibition have proven
unfounded fears Of vineyard owners
that abolition of the saloon would
injure the market for their product.
Shipments of grapes from this state
have increased from 21,605 cars in
1919 to 72,116 last year.
Statistics of the Agricultural Eco
nomics Bureau of the Department of
Agriculture do not distinguish between
so-called wine" and table" grapes.
Therefore they do not show whether
it. is hunger or thirst that has caused
the more than 800 per cent increase
In the demand of other states for the
product of California vineyards.
Before ratification of the eight
eenth amendment grapes sold around
$40 a ton. Since the law was enacted
prices have, several times, scared
over 800 a ton. Acreage has in.
creased, but not in ratio to the growth
of carload shipments. Much of the
increase in the shipment figures are
due to the fact that a considerable
part of the crop once used in wine
making within the State now goes to
other markets.
AS the California grape grower takes
stock of his last years business and
looks to the coming season with in
quisitive eye, "Winehaven," before
prohibition referred to as the world s
largest storage center for wine, is
being dismantled. 1t was built imme.
diately after the San Francisco fire of
1906, on a seven-acre tract on Point
San Pablo, at a cost of $500 900, in
cluding cottages for 200 employees. The
winery had watts and cellars with a
total capacity of 9,500,000 gallons
When filled it's stock had a value Of
$4,000, 900.
In its heydey Winehaven owned a
feet of $50 railroad tank cars and 1t
was in these that the last of the wine
was transported under armed guards
to San Francisco, to be stored in bond
ed warehouses, when the California
Wine Growers Association decided to
abandon the once famous institution
and to attempt to sell the property for
some other use.

Points to Remember

Ignition trouble except skipping
plugsl results in sudden stopping Of
the engine. No hesitating. Just a
sudden swan song. A "gas stop is
distinguished by kissing sound as
the engine quits.
The pinhole in the gas tank cap
sometimes becomes clogged as a result
of accumulation of nickel polish If
that part happens to be accorded rea-
sonabie care. Clogging of this pinhole
will stop the vacuum system from
funetioning.
When "a tire is removed and hung
up as spare indicate with an arrow
mark its original direction of rotation
so that when il Is used again you will
know which way 1t should go. A tire
should always run In the same direc-
tiOn for best results.

$4,000 BUSSES IN USE

Big Vehicles Enormously Popular

Busses are proving enormously pop
ular in Southeastern States, according
to figures Of the National Automobile
Chamber of Commerce, which shows
that 1000 of this type of vehicle now
are in service in this area. This does
not include those operated by l02 ho'

A surprising feature in connection
with the report is that, despite popu-
lar impression, Florida is not the lead
ing State in the zone in its use or
buses. North Carolina and Missis-
sippi, on the contrary, are the largest
users of these vehicles. Both main

Spring Ends Need Cover.

If the spring covers do not reach
to the ends of the springs, thus ex-
posing a troublesome point, the situa-
ton can be remedied by moving the
covers farther out. This will expose
about an inch or two of spring near
the axle, but fabrication is not essen
tial at that point.

Don't Forget That

A tappet with too little clearance
will mean a burned valve. When a
valve does not seat properly the burn
ing gas vapor strikes both sides of 1t,
and it cannot long endure this without
damage.

Observance of Cars on Steep Hills
Unsafe Test.

Observing the performance of varf-
Gus cars on steep hills is not always
conclusive. With the throttle wide
open an engine will make sufficient
noise to deaden other sounds from

defects. The better plan Isl to observe
the cars when they are getting a run

ing in a test of this sort to note the
striking difference in the running of
various makes. The only caution is
to be sure to base your conclusions on
averages, rather than individual cars.
