TEXANS OPEN
 RICH ORE MINES

Shafter, Tex.-Three mines will open somewhere near here seeking gold and silver, lead and zinc. in the wild country where the Spaniards. four centuries ago, had their crude mines and smelters. All will work properties already proven rich in ores.
 They are the Shafter. Red Bird and Boquillas mines. which in the past have yielded about s2O,0O0,0OO worth of ore. The Shafted mine. esta blished by General Shafter, in 1885, produced about $500.000 worth of ore in its last year of operation. The Boquillas mines are said to consist of mountains of rock rich in silver, lead. zinc and gold. with more raw riches than in any other section of North America. They are located on the Mexican side of the Rio Grande. and ore must be freighted POT miles to the nearest railroad line.
 The Bird Mines. II miles east of Alpine. are said to have forma- tions identical, although they have never been worked successfully.

GAS COMPANIES
 INSTRUCT PEOPLE
Household Economic and Cooking Experts Give
 Courses Gratis
HOME SERVICE POPULAR

Twenty thousand or more Connec- ticut housewives and not a few men received instructions in cooking and efficient household operation through the home service departments of Connecticut gas companies during the year of 1890, according to esti- mates based upon an actual check of the number receiving that type of instruction from the larger utilities. The lessons in household economies and in the preparation of appealing menus were prepared, expounded and demonstrated by competent, thoroughly trained instructors with out cost to the thousands of stu dents.
 Home service, as practiced by gas companies in this state. is conducted iE two ways. Under the first meth- cd, the gas company utiliZes q lec- ture hall in which there is installed completely equipped kitchen. The company's customers are invited to attend q series of weekly instruc- tions and demonstrations at which the most modern and most econom- ical methods of food preparation and kitchen operation are explained. age of these courses of instruction in every c.ty where an equipped auditorium is available.
 Under the second method, the gas company's home service experts visit the homes of its customers either voluntarily or upon request of the customer. In this way. the instruc- tor is able to demonstrate on the customers own gas appliances. When the instructor visits the home. she Is often able to discover and correct misuse of appliances and to offer suggestions for more efficient and economical use of them.

vertised auto equipment and sup plies. In their large spacious quar- ters on West Main street Al and Carl, together with a staff of IS skilled workers, are kept constantly busy day and night, rendering varied auto services to the motoring pub lie.
 Starting business on the proverbial shoestring ten years ago. on Decem- Der 10, 1920, Al and Carl Demenske, then only 10 and 20 years of age re- spectively, opened shop on North Main street. Their business in the beginning consisted only in repairing tubes and tires and occasionally sell ing one, and it was mighty tough scratching for these ambitious boys for a while, but continuous hard work, long hours, and conscientious service gradually told and As Tire Shop as it was then known com menced to grow. They originated in Waterbury the road service plan which was instrumental in winning them a large portion of the clients.
 Late in 1927 the Demenske boys, known far and wide for their won- derful tire and road service and as distributors for the famous Hood Tires, decided the time was ripe for the undertaking of more general auto service. Their next move was the buying of the State Garage building at 229 West Main street, which was used previously for auto- mobile parking. This deal ran into a large sum of money cs the prop erty involved is centrally located and covers a cast area. The intention of Al and Carl at that time was the es- tablishment of a complete, one-shop

First Air Division to Stage Mimic Attack on Hartford
 and New Haven on Sunday May "A

The 1881 army air corps field ex- ercises by the First Air Division will begin at Dayton, ohio, on May 18th. end at Washington, ID. C., on May 30th and will cover the Atlantic sea- board as far north as Bangor and as far south as Norfolk, according to statement made last night by As sistant Secretary of War, tho HonoraI le F. Trubee Davison, who has charge of army aviation.
 In addition. Mir Davison made it known that the First Air Division will consist of 205 pursuit planes, 335 observation, 51 attack, 36 bom- bardment and 45 transports-672 planes. The personnel totals TAO of- ficers and 631 enlisted men.
 '"The various air corps and na- tional guard squadrons will concen- trate at Wright and Fairfield air dromes near Dayton, Ohio, on May 18th and 17th," said MT Davison. From May 18th to goth. inclusive. there will be formation and combat practices by the entire division.
 'The war starts on the morning of May Fist when, by various routes. the aerial armada will descend upon New York city. The division will not travel as a unit because the fuel de- mands would be too great for the airDorts along any one airway be- tween Dayton and New York For that reason. some plans will go by way Ot upstate New York Buffalo, Rochester and Syracuse; others by way of Pittsburg, Harrisburg, Wash ington, Baltimore and Philadelphia.
 "On arrival in New York, planes will land at Mitchell Field. which will be division headquarters, and adjacent airdromes. From that mo- ment until Sunday, war conditions will exist and bring into play a va ried program of combat demonstra- tions. The details for that program are now being worked out and will be announced later.
 "On Sunday, May 24th, the divi- sion will proceed to Boston and ether airdromes in that section of New England. This time the divi- sion will fly in full battle forma- |tion. As it proceeds northward, Hartford, New Haven and Provi- dence, will be attacked. That night, weather permitting, there will be night attacks over the Boston area. On May 25th, the attack program staged ever New York. will be re- peated over Boston. One group of planes-bombardm or observa- tion-will be directed to attack Port

This step marked the establishment of Water- bury's pioneer One-Shop Service Station. For a year or so, AIS Tire Service & Garage at 229 West Main street and the old AIS Tire Shop at 241 North Main street were main tained, but the entire staff and busi- ness was gradually moved to the more adequate quarters on West Main street.
 Today, under the one roof the fol- lowing services are offered: Auto parking. washing and polishing; gas. oil and fabrication; battery sales, repairing, recharging, vulcanizing and tire repairing; free brake in- spection. brakes adjusted, refined and repaired; wheels aligned; ignition service; "A hour day and night road service on flats. tire troubles, battery troubles and ignition faults; towing service; and last but not least, the headquarters for Hood Tires.

at different rates but one comes out at $17.73 and the other at s17.72.
 "Six states use gross weight only. and the treasury IS helped $l9.94 per car in one state and the least must be satisfied with $8.91. A dozen states use net weight only and they range from $8.90 to $26.6S. Two states use a flat rate and get the same income-$5.65 per car.
 Seven states each have method all their own. One uses value in pounds net weight; one, value; one, cost price; one, cubic inch displace- ment; one, manufacturers list price; one, net weight horsepower and times registered; and finally. one uses a ombinaUon of factory price. net weight, horsepower and times registered, and yet after all this trou- ble the amount received, per car, is only $S29. The way some of the schedules are made would seem to justify the conclusion that simpli- city in method and schedule used IS greatly to be desired.
 That there is justice in the argu- ment that, with the retention of the motor license and gas tax, the mo- tor vehicle should be exempted from personal property taxation is shown when that argument is accepted by 13 states. While there may be a few cars which. for a time. escape the license fee, none can escape the gas tax Moreover, it is notable fact, that the property tax is very unequally administered, and in many instances is entirely ignored. Entire elimination of the property tax which in most cases does not go for road purposes. should be recom- mended to the states which have not already abandoned this plan of tax ation.
 "All of which," the bulletin con- cludes, should be done during the coming sessions of state legislative bodies as a means of simplifying the lcvying of revenue for highway con- struction."
The Waterbury Democrat., 1931-02-16

Washington, D. C.-Simplification in levying motor license fees and gasoline taxes for highway construc- ton and maintenance is being called to the attention of forty-four legislative bodies now entering upon 1891 sessions.
 There Is a tendency, according to a bulletin issued by the American Association of State Highway off, cialS, to reduce the registration fee and make up the reduction on the gasoline side of the ledger by in- creasing the fuel tax. In the judg- ment of highway officials. this is wrong in principle, because the total income from both sources is needed to maintain the highway bank ac- count at safe and satisfactory working level. Moreover, the tend- ency to lower one and raise the other does not necessarily mean an increase, but in some cases it will mean an actual decrease in the to- tai amount coming in for construc- tion and maintenance.
 "In the matter of needed uniform ity, a comparison of the receipts from license fees throughout the country" the bulletin continues,
 SHOWS tHdI dHiohS ot"ICo ui" eH0 same method or methods in deter mining how the fee shall be secured, there is no standard form. There are fourteen states. for example, which use horsepower alone as the deter mining factor, and yet the schedules of rates are so different that the maximum amount received per mo- tor vehicle in this group is $19.S8, while the minimum is $6.84-a dif- ference of $13.04 per vehicle. Four states use horsepower and net weight as the factors and their re- ceip1s vary from $15.69 to $6.67.
 1.-TWO states use horsepower and gross weight. The schedule of one is 25c per horsepower and 25c per 100 lbs, while the other is 12 1-2c per horsepower and 55c per 100 lbs. They enter the financial hopper
