wouldn't have water dribbling into

But Uncle Wiggily didn't know
much about mending leaky pans.
He thought he might make the fire
too hot and melt the lead too fast
so that it would splatter on him
and, perhaps burn him.
so I guess 1 had better wait
until Tinker Dog comes back, said
the rabbit gentleman. 1T Will only

he may have been out nearly an
hour already"
But it was lonesome in Tinker
Dogs mending shop and Uncle
Wiggily liked company. He also
liked to be doing things. And when
he had TO sit there, with nothing to
do, Mr.. Longears began to feel
sleepy.
"Ill just close my eyes for few
minutes TO rest them,' he said as
he gave his pink nose little twin
kle to keep it quiet. And, before he
knew it, Uncle Wiggily was fast
asleep.
1t was a noise at the shop door
which awakened Mr.. Longears. He
sat up suddenly, for his head had
nodded when he slept. His eyes
opened and he said:
well, Tinker Dog, am glad you
have come back. Here is something
that needs mending."
"Hal l have something that needs
mending," suddenly growled a
most unpleasant voice. Il have a

Opening his eyes wider, Uncle

SAFE TOURING
TIPS GIVEN BY
DRIVING VET

With the arrival of vacation sea-
son, the curve of automobile travel
and gasoline consumption ha S
started a steady climb.
More drivers will be on the road
and there are likely to be more
traffic accidents but motorists can
escape many mishaps if they fol-
lew the suggestions of j. H. Green
leaf, veteran test car driver for
the Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co.,
who, during the past Is years, has
driven more than 100000 miles
Driver of one of the fleet of cars
kon which Goodyear tires are tested
PGreenleaf has operated a car un-
| der every possible condition and
has probably encountered as many
| difficult situations on the road as
any driver in the world
"Good brakes, properly adjusted
are the most important part of an
! automobile from safety stand
point Greenleaf declared. "Me-
chanically speaking, good treads on
tires come next, but the most dan
ger in travelling is caused by the
human element.
EVERY driver should INDICATE his
intention Of making a turn at least
100 feet before turning, as omission
of this simple precaution helps
cause accidents. More accidents, l
believe, are caused by passing other
cars on curves or near the tops of
hills than from any other cause
Many accidents also result from
drivers not getting enough rest and
falling asleep at the steering
wheel,o he concluded.
Based on his years of experience.
Greenleaf has formulated the fol-
lowing "rules for driving" which
he follows religiously and which
he recommends to motorists every
where:
l. Have good brakes at all times.
2. Signal intention of making a
turn 100 feet before making.
3. Never pass car on curve or
near the top of a hill
4. Stay on inside of center line
on curves and hills.
5. Be alert at intersections Slow
up even If you have the right t-of-
way.
6. When approaching car has
binding lights, slow up and hug
your side Of road.
7. Allow yourself freedom Of
| movement. 1t is taking chance
to drive with too many people in
the front seat.
8. See that your tires have treads

WASHINGTON, July %. - The
recent flight here of Governor Ed
win johnson of Colorado turned
out to be an epochal dash which
nearly pumped him down in the
Atlantic when his pilot mistook the
Susquehanna River for the Poto-
mac.
Friends say the governor left
Denver on time, reached st. Louis
on time and was due here on time.
So a delegation of Colorado con-
gressmen went down to the airport
to greet the states chief executive.
They waited, but johnson didn't
soar in.
They went down the next day
and waited.

UNCLE WIGGILY'S LEAKY PAN

Uncle Wiggily had taken Nurse
James leaky dishpan to the shop of
Tinker Dog to have it mended. But
when the rabbit gentleman reach
ed the place, as 1 told you last
night, Tinker Dog was out There
was a sign on his door saying he
would be back in an hour so Uncle
Wiggily sat down in the shop to
wait.
IF I knew how" said Mr.. Long
ears to himself as he looked around
and saw pieces of old umbrellas,
handles, ribs, wires and black cloth,
IF knew how, l could mend this
leaky pan myself and then I
wouldn't need to wait. I see some
lead and there's one of the irons
Tinker Dog heats in his little fire
pot to melt the lead with which he
stops holes in leaky pots and pans.
And here's his fire-pot. All l would
have to do would be to start a fire,
heat the iron, melt a little lead and
fill up the hole. Then Nurse James

TWO MORE TAXES

R1 VIRTUE of the legislatures action
- this week, Mr.. and Mrs. John j.
Resident, of California, will very short
ly be paying more for food, clothing and
other necessities of life, and once a year
they will be forced to dig down in their
pockets to send a money contribution to
Sacramento.
This is the result of passage of the
retail sales and income tax measures.
The action was made necessary by
deficit of around $125000000 which
confronts the state. Even with the es-
timated revenue from the two new taxes,
the state will still face a deficit, various
ly estimated from S10,000,000 to S32,-
100000.
Acceptance of the sales tax without
much protest, seems to be taken for
granted. The same cannot be said of
the income tax, which has aroused con-
siderable antagonism throughout the
state. Already movement is under
way to have it vetoed by the governor.
In the light of recent Investigations by
the federal government, which exposed
glaring evasions of the federal income
tax, on the part of the extremely
wealthy, the antagonism to state in
COlIt ldA SdI easily OC uiiuSISAoou oiiO
will find much favor among those with
moderate or small incomes.
There is nothing to indicate that the
extremely wealthy will not adopt simi-
lar means to escape the state income tax
law, so that the burden of it will be
shifted to the little fellow, already
struggling under load that is greater
than he can bear.
Both taxes were given support in the
legislature by senators and assemblymen
who were opposed to them, but who real
lied that something had to be done to
bring in the needed revenue. Unless the
income tax is vetoed, both measures will
have to be accepted in the same spirit
by the people at large.
Mr.. and Mrs. Resident will have to
adopt the philosophy credited to the
Chinese through the familiar saying,
"When it rains in China, they let it

 ToastmaSter for the occasion was Robert Hall. The Reverend Fr. Robert D. O'Flannigan gave the Invocation before the eating con- test" participated in by the entire company-and the delicious cours- es cooked and served by members of the Ladies Aid, disappeared like magic and with much gusto.
 A number of poppy songs were sung after the dinner by everyone present, then young John Amend, Jr., delivered a poem on Angel" Dad. The following toast to sons by Leonard Hopkins featured things already learned from the young member of his own family, and things which he anticipated learning in the future, and a sim liar subject, Things Have Learn ed from Boys" was the topic of the address next given by Prof. Glenn Rogers.
 Another song just before the Benediction by Rev c. T. Hatten brought the evenings program to a near close at SIS, an hour and three quarters having been en- joyed by all those fortunate enutt to attend
 It is worthy to note that where as the first of these annual ban quets for local Dads and their sons saw total attendance of 60, the second increased to 72, the third to 88, with the fourth one, just passed, numbering 100. Which proves the success and popularity of the affairs.

Of Columbia, during 1882, consumed
101, TIA, ,858 gallons Of gasoline on which
taxes were paid and that the District
was among the three States which col
lected more taxes last year than IN
1881. The total gasoline tax collected
In the District last year amounted to
s2,035, ,497 and to this total next year
will be added an estimated 81 1,781 ,05e
in Federal taxes, the institute estt-
mated. The added cost of the proposed
q cent per gallon increase under the
recovery bill in the District will be
s763,31i annually on the basis Of pres
ent consumption, 1t was estimated.
The average automobile owner. oper-
ating one car during the next Is years
will pay In Federal gasoline taxes ap-
proximately $112.50, Of which only sic
will be expended In public roads Work
the Institute estimated.
The proposed increase IN gasoline
taxes will bring the tax burden carried
by motor fuel to a staggering total, the
institute pointed out. In Alabama, for
example, 1t was pointed out, the present
State gasoline tax is 6 cents, there Is
a county tax of 3 cents, city tax
of 2 cents and a Federal tax of
cent. or a total tax of IL cents per
gallon on gasoline which sells retail at
10 cents a gallon. Taxation In Ala
bama, therefore. amounts to 120 per
cent Of the retail price Of gasoline.
virginians Would Pay Heavily.
Under the proposed industrial re-
covery bill, according to the institute
figures, Virginia motorists will con-
tribute In Federal gasoline taxes q
total Of S24, ,321 800 during the 15-yeal
period contemplated under the program
Federal road aid to Virginia during the
period will reach an estimated total
Of SCOTS, ,788, so that Virginia's motor
lists will pay approximately Sic, ,0OC
more in taxes than they receive in road
benefits.
In Maryland the Federal gasoline tax
over is years will total $21 ,094 600 and
road grants $3,874,O84, leaving an ad-
verse balance of about SIT 900.
Under the terms Of the recovery bill
1t is proposed to allocate 0,000, ,00C
to the States for highway construction,
over a 15-year period. This would be
distributed on a basis Of SO per cent
for population, Is per cent for area ano
25 per cent for post-road mileage.
Under this ALLEGATION Of funds foul
States in the Union would receive In
Federal road aid more than they paid
in gasoline taxes, due to the fact that
they are sparsely populated but have
great areas and that most of theil
roads now are post roads. These States
are wyoming, New Mexico, Nevada ano
Montana, the institute figures show
