that for you. The company will add
3 per cent to your monthly bill, pay
this to the tax collector.
II you buy electricity at flat rate,
you must pay the tax whether you use
the current or not, since the levy is
based on rate instead Of on consump-
ton.
In many cities. the average house,
hold electric bill is about IS month.
This means a tax Of Is cents month,
or $3.50 a year.
The law says the tax applies to
electrical energy "for domestic or
commercial consumption" which
means homes, stores, etc. It ex-
empts electrical energy furnished for
industrial consumption" Such ex-
emptions include electricity used for
manufacturing, mining, refining,
building construction, railroads, tele-
phone, telegraph and radio facilities,
:, etc.
Newspapers are officially classed as
industrial enterprises and are there
fore exempt from the tax.
Also exempt Is electricity used by

Sixty-seven Per Cent Of Phe'
nomenon Will Be Visible
From Bismarck

Urbana, ILL.,, July 30.-F-The
eclipse of the sun Aug. 81 will be visi-
BILE throughout the United States,
Canada and Mexico. From all parts
of North America the dark disk Of the
moon can be seen on this day cross
ing In front Of the sun.
But the total eclipse can be viewed
only along a strip a hundred miles In
width, the track of the moons shadow
over the earth's surface.
100 Seconds to Pass
This track begins near the north
pole, where the shadow strikes the
earth at sunrise. It runs southeast
ward across Hudson Bay, Quebec.
New England, and then out into the
ocean, where the shadow leaves the
earth at sunset.
After traversing the northeast cor
ner of Vermont the center of the
shadow will move swiftly past Lam
caster and Conway. N. H. and Will
reach the coast about halfway be-
tween Portsmouth and Portland.
The shadow will arrive In this re-
zion about $3.50 p. m, eastern stand
ard time, and will require only a min
ute and forty seconds to pass over
any point on the central line.
Will See Corona
Crowds of people.wll assemble along
the track of the shadow on the after
noon of August 81 to watch the rare
spectacle of a total solar eclipse. To-
tally will last only 100 seconds at any
place, but if the sky IS clear it will be
a sight well worth going long way
20 see.
During this short interval the moon
will hide the sun completely. Day will
be turned into night. Stars will come
out. The mysterious corona and
probably some Of the flame-colored
! prominences surrounding the sun will
burst into view.
Preceding this principal feature of
The exhibit the partial eclipse can be
seen, beginning in New England about
2:2O D. m, eastern standard time; and
i after totality the moon will not with
draw entirely from before the suns
disk until 4:30 p. m.
Lasts Only A Moment
At the edges Of the shadow track.
]. 80 miles from the central line, the
total eclipse will last only moment.
The southern edge across New Eng
land is a line from the top Of Lake
1 Champlain to Salem, Mass. Parallel
70 it, the northern boundary passes
through Boothbay, Maine.
Farther north or south the eclipse
vii be only partial. The moon will
pass across the sun, but not Gen.
& Hally across, so that it will not en-
|. 3lrely hide the sun. And the fraction
no the suns disk that Is eclip6ed will
~ less as the distance from the cen
4 trail line Is greater. At Boston 50 per
cent will be hidden, at Denver 49 per
a cent, at Los Angeles Is per cent.
s In watching the partial eclipse the
ayes should be protected by dark
class. For even when only small

lowered, the light may be too strong

DELAY SHOALS ISSUE
Short Session of Congress
Unlikely to Act.

By ScriDps-HowGrd Newspaper Alliance
WASHINGTON, Aug. 13.-Presi-
dent Hoover is standing pat against
government operation of Muscle
Shoals, which is favored by con-
gress, his acceptance speech shows.
Il repeatedly have recommended
federal regulation of interstate
power" he said. II shall persist in
that. I have opposed the federal
government undertaking the oper-
alton of the power business. 1 shall
continue that opposition"
This declaration is expected to
prevent any attempt to pass Muscle
Shoals legislation at the short ses-
sion of congress beginning in De-
cember.
If Hoover is reelected, govern
ment operations advocates in the sem
ate probably will prefer to wait I'M
til the new congress meets, in the
hope that it will provide sufficient
strength to override presidential
veto.
If Roosevelt is elected, these same
senators will wait until he gets in
the White House, believing he will
approve a partial government oper-
alton bill.

HOTEL POPULAR
SUMMER HOME
Cool Lobby, Rooms, Pool
Attract Visitors.

Summer residence at the Hotel
Antlers is without most of the dis
comforts of the hot season. The
spacious lobby of the hotel affords
cool Longing place, the coffee
shop is comfortable, and the rooms
always receive what breezes may be
blowing.
Guests at the hotel have the ad-
vantage of the use of the handsome
swimming pool in which to invig-
crate and cool themselves. This
pool, by the way, becomes more pop
ular every week, and many residents
of the city enjoy it regularly.
Swimming classes have been
formed by number of groups of
indianapolis women and men, who
are taught by competent instructors
in the pool. Instruction is given by
teachers of both sexes.
The coffee room is a popular place
for business men. The food is pre-
pared carefully, and the many hot
weather dishes on the menu have
proved attractive.
1t is a custom among many of the
patrons to discuss business ques-
tions over the luncheon, and many
deals have been put over in the
Antlers coffee room.
Over all rules a spirit of genuine
hospitality and interest in the guests
that has been marked feature of
the administration of Manager R. I.
Griffith, who is known personally
to most of the travelling men who
regard the Antlers as a home.

Testing Machine Warns oil
Danger and Prevents
Wear on Tires.

Motorists are quite likely to pay
for one service the repair man can
give them whether they have the
repair or not. In fact, many of
them are paying excessively for this
now, although they do not realize it..
This is the proper alignment of
axleS and wheels. Let wheel wob-
BILE on the axle, and you may be
sure the owner is paying for the
needed work in the quick wear of
tires. If one will watch the cars he
meets he will be surprised at the
number that have a perceptible
wobble.
Nothing will wear tire so quick
ly, and usually the defect adds to
the difficulties of steering, and is
really dangerous.
Wheels, too, get out of alignment
with the same results. Modern in
genuity has perfected machinery for
the correction of these troubles that
is often used without the necessity
of tearing down a car.
AXles are Strengthened by cold
process, which usually is advisable
for the reason that it does not in
terfere with the temper of the
metal. Wheels, too, are pressed back
to the true in the same way.
At 1929 East New York street,
Rollin j. Cossey has provided the
means of testing these defects in
steering with an official Steer-O-
Master service. He extends a test

office Efficiency Raised
byMe70 Type LcedAir Fan
Cool Breeze Provided by
Modine Also Adds to
Home Comfort.

The Modine ice fan, sold by the
Polar Ice and Fuel Company, 1000
Northwestern avenue, may mean
the difference between an efficient
force and distressed one.
Men and women confined in the
limited space of an Office are more
ANNOYED by the heat than those who
can move about. Discomfort IS not
conducive to speed Of work or Keen
ness of attention.
With the Modine any ordinary
Office can be kept cool and the vent
ilation conditions improved. The
stream of iced air that issues from
this little machine is like a breeze
from snowy mountain peaks in its
IMMIGRATION and comfort.
Nor are the benefits of this ice
fan limited to business offices. Med
ical and dental offices, clubroomS,
hotel rooms, dress shops, barber
shops and beauty parlors, tearoomS
and candy shops all can make their
businesses more inviting by keep
ing cool, and the home with Mo-
dine ice fan never permits its oc-
cupantS to suffer.
The machine itself is simple. It
is made in sections, the use of which
is governed by the size of the room.
The fan occupies the top section.
The base may consist of one, two or
three ice sections, dependent upon
the amount of ice required. The
fan itself uses little electrical cur
rent-no more than small desk
fan.
The Modine ice fan may be set
up anywhere. No plumbing connec-
tons are required, and the cabinet
is an attractive piece of furniture,
occupying little room, which can be
moved as desired.

Billions in Special Taxes Assessed
by Government.
By Scripps-Hotoard Newspaper Allianc.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 13.-Rail-
road charges that motor transport
on highways is tax subsidized were
met today by President Thomas P.
Henry of the American Automobile
Association with the assertion that
motor vehicle owners in the last
ten years have paid $500, 100000 in
special taxes to state and local gov
ernments.
Add to this $1,000, 900, 900 in road
bonds issued by the states as def
mite charge on highway users, since
they are to be retired from motor
vehicle revenues" Henry said, land
it will be seen that motor owners
directly shouldered SO, 900, OOO,O 900 out
of the $4,000, 100000 road expendi-
lures by the states and counties in
that period"
HenryS statement was in COM
ment on a statement by Chairman
R. H. Ashton of the American As
ISOLATION of Railway Executives,
who is now engaged in what the
A. A. A. chief termed sympathy
campaign"
Ashton said federal and state
governments since 1921 have SUBJ
Sidized motor vehicle users for more
than $13,000,000,0O0.

CANCER DEATH RATE
is REPORTED ON RISE
Increase Is Rapid, Though Health
Condition Generally Is Good.

OOuuIIlOu OcHcIduy Is OOOus
By ScieNce SerUice
NEW YORK, Aug. 13.-Death
rates from cancer have Spurted up
ward alarmingly in the last year
and a half, in the face of extremely
favorable general health conditions.
Figures compiled by the Metro
politan Life Insurance Company
upon its industrial policy holders
show rise of IA per cent in 1881
and reports for the first half of
1882 show further rise of 9.5 per
cent over the rate for the like part
of last year. This is in strong con-
trast to a relatively slow average
rise of almost is per cent a year
in the period 1919 to 1880.
. If cancer deaths continue at the
present rate during the rest Of this
year, increase in the last two years
will be three-fourths as much as
during the preceding twelve.
1t is estimated that about 10 per
cent of the United States hay crop
is destroyed every year by fire.

TWO STATES TO TEST
DRY LAW AT POLLS
Wyoming and Colorado to Ballot on
Prohibition in November.


BIZ Scripps-HOiodrd Newspaper Alliance
WASHINGTON, Aug. 13.-Prohi-
bition as an issue will come directly
before the voters of Colorado and
Wyoming at the November election.
In Colorado, petition bearing
more than $4,000 names, has been
filed with the secretary of state, to
submit the question of repeating
state prohibition on the election
ballot. Colorado went dry in 1916.
If adopted, the proposition will wipe
out the state dry law.
In Wyoming the vote will come as
the result of a resolution adopted by
the state legislature in 1881, putting
the question up to the voters as to
whether the eighteenth amendment
should be repealed.
Whatever action is taken at the
polls will be transmitted to congress
as the sentiment of the people of
Wyoming.

HEAVY TAKING
PENALTY FEES
ARE ASSAILED
Sexton Action UnjuStified,
Rules Chairman OF
State Board.

Taxpayers are entitled to know
the amount of their assessment on
specific property, and should not be
penalized for delinquency Of taxes
when they have not been informed
taxes are due, according to an
opinion Friday from James A.
Showalter, state tax board chair
man.
The opinion was given following
complaints by hundreds Of corpora
tions and individuals against heavy
penalties imposed by Timothy P.
Sexton, county treasurer, for de-
linquencies when taxpayers charged
they had not been informed of as
sessments.
Sexton explained today that he
is following the law in demanding
penalties which he said had been
fixed by the county auditor and that
"the treasurer could not strike OIL
penalties"
He informed the tax board that,
starting this fall, all corporations
will be mailed notices of increases
in assessments made by the state
board.
Complaints arose from corpora
tons due to increases made by the
state board after county officials
had completed their appraisals and
assessments last year.
When representatives Of corpo-
rations failed to appear before the
board on notices, it is said many
assessments were doubled and pen
aIties were assessed on the amount
in excess OF the payment made on
the original assessment.
Individuals complained of not re-
ceiving all duplicates of their taxes
when they called at the treasurer s
Office and later being charged for
delinquencies on the unpaid
amounts.
Text of Showalter's opinion per-
tanning to penalties is: when a
taxpayer calls for his statement of
taxes on specific property, it is his
right to receive the entire amount
of the assessment and he should not
be charged with penalty and costs
for a delinquent payment Of taxes,
a statement of which had not been
handed the taxpayer"
According to law, the treasurer
receives 60 per cent Of all penalties
on delinquent taxes

and report entirely without charge
to the motoriSt, and with the re-
markable machine in ten minutes
he can give the exact conditions of
the steering, front end and wheel
alignment of the car.
The Steer Master locates Wis
IDLY the cause of any trouble of the
kind with scientific exactness, and
of course, with the guesSwork elimi-
mated, the expense of a correction
usually is a small matter.
Cossey has the only Reiss wheel
aligning machine in Indianapolis
and the only gauge for testing in
ternal brakes in the city. He uses
the Reiss braketesting machine
also.
The service extended at this sta
ton is quite complete. Ignition
service of all kinds is a speciality
motors are tuned, brakes are ad-
justed, refined and repaired, radia-
tors are Serviced, tires are repaired
and vulcanized, cars are creased and
cleaned.
Gasoline, oils and greases, pol
ishes, body paint and Federal tires
are sold.
Cossey prides himself on the ex-
actness of his methods and on the
provision of the right tools for doing
the work. His twelve years in bust
ness at this location has established
him thoroughly among the residents
of the east end of the city, and
many motorists go to his place from
other parts of the city, attracted
by the scientific nature of the work
done and the reasonable charges. A
towing service always is available
for those who may be disabled or
the road.
