INGALLS, RULES
 STACKS MUST GO
Cleveland Shipping-BOx Village May Soon Be
 LakefrOnt Airport

Cleveland. (UP) - Cleveland's s lakefront "Shantytown" is doomed. The tawdry shipping box village which tramps erected for year round living and which they face tiously called "Hoovertown," must go, the city has ruled.
 City Welfare Director David S. Ingalls,, former assistant secretary of the navy, an ace in the World War, flew his plane over the shacks which dot the dump area. He was surveying for a proposed lawefront airport for the city.
 "There'd be plenty of room to land on the dump if 1t weren't for those shacks," Ingalls commented when he landed. At city hall, he ordered the mayor of "Shanty- town" to rage the settlement in a weeks time.
 Taxless but liveable. "Shanty- town" has had regular "mayor' for three years. It is marked by more or less regular streets and has its own police force to chase rats.
 All "city" revenue has come from gleanings off the dump. There have been good days and lean days. The good days were when the trash wagons were stuffed to the brim with refuse which would sustain life. Tp alxln q ell O O

Wolman declared. "a too-high
retail price," he declared, reduces
consumption, and l believe all our
interests would be best served if
milk goes to 10 cents a quart"
Mr.. Woolman defended the present
basic-surplus plan of payment to
farmers. Prices of supplies
bought by farmers have increased
18 per cent above pre-war prices,
therefore, Mr.. Woolman declared,
a fair price for Grade One milk
should be $1.92 per hundredweight,
allowing an Is per cent increase
over the pre-war price of S162
paid to farmers for that grade of
milk. Speaking as a member of
the Philadelphia Milk Exchange,
Woolman urged that the Philadel-
phia milk shed be kept intact ELL
wood B. Chapman, counsel for the
Retail Confectioners' Association,
of Philadelphia, asked the board to
place his association on the same
basis as the wholesale milk distrib-
utors in the formulation of a milk

MOTORISTS TAXES ON GAS
In 1888 1t Amounted to More Than
One Billion Dollars

Everyone is talking taxes these
days" remarks Mr.. Robert Weir,
Jr., the Sun Oil Company's To-
cal branch manager, land of course
motorists are interested particu-
larly in the special additional taxes
they pay every time they purchase
gasoline. Recently I ran across
some figures" he continued, ION
the amount of gasoline taxes paid
annually and it made me gasp
with establishment. Do you know
that these figures indicate that
you buy your car over again in
taxes just about every four years ?
Motor cars are the most heavily
taxed pieces of property in the
United States. Special motor We
hicle taxes, paid in addition to
your regular taxes, cost you more
than one billion dollars in 1888. Of
that amount, about TIC millions of
dollars came from taxes upon gas
oline while the wholesale value of
all the cars and trucks produced
last year was 795 millions. If you
want another picture of the size of
the gasoline tax just figure that
the average gasoline tax is some
what in excess of 100 per cent of
the average wholesale price of gas
oline and that the average gasoline
tax now represents a sales tax of
more than 80 per cent. In other
words, on the average, every time
a motorist spends one dollar for
gasoline, he hands the tax collec-
tor more than thirty cents. In
1919 the average motorist paid
only six dollars in gasoline taxes,
but the average today is thirty-one
dollars or more than five times as
much. Each motorist can ascer-
tain the amount of his own gaso-
line tax bill by multiplying the
number of gallons he uses a year
the average car consumes 600
by the gasoline tax in his state
plus the one cent Federal Tax
Speaking of this Federal Tax:
Senator Capper of Kansas, has in
troduced bill calling for the re-
peal Of this one cent gallon fed
eral tax. If your senators and
representatives in Congress sup
port this bill it will mean a saving
to motorists Of $50 million dollars
a year, but at that motorists will
still be paying state and local gas
oline taxes of over 500 millions
year"

CENT-A-QUART
CUT ON MILK
Delaware Would Be Affected
by Philadelphia Milk Shed
Reduction to 10c Quart
LESS TO DAIRY FARMERS

Reduction in the price of grade
3 milk of one cent a quart to the
consumer with a Accent per hun
cut in the price re-
ceived by farmers was recon-
mended by Henry N. Woolman,
secretary of the Supplee- evils
Jones Milk Company to the Penn
sylvania State Milk Control Board
which concludes two-day hear
ing in Philadelphia, Friday. AS
Delaware is included in the Phila-
delphia milk shed any prices fixed
there would be effective in this
State where rs per cent of all the
milk produced is exported largely
to Philadelphia. Delaware dairy
men were not represented at the
hearing. 1t was testified that milk
has been not only "the best prod
uct of the farmer but the cheapest
for the consumer" Woolman warn
ed against any increase being
made in the price at this time.
Emphasizing that he spoke as an
individual, he cited disorders
which occurred in Chicago and
other places after milk prices in
creased. He added that consum-
ers in the area including Delaware
have paid less than those in other
sections. His new price to farm
ers would be $1.92, a drop Of 49
cents from the present price OF
S2.35 for a hundredweight of milk
containing 3.5 per cent of butter
fat. The present price of grade
B milk delivered to homes by dis
tributors is IL cents per quart
Reducing the farmers price would
permit the companies to reduce

PEACH CROP IS
BELIEVED LOST
Inspection Indicates Sub-ZerO
Weather Killed Buds of
All But One Variety
CHERRY YIELD REDUCED

From present indications almost
the entire peach crop in Delaware
was ruined by the recent sub-zero
weather, it was stated by Dean
Charles A. McCue Of the Expert
mental Station at the University
of Delaware. While not all Of the
orchards have been examined, the
inspection of one year Seaford
showed that all the buds have been
frozen and there will be no fruit
There are about a dozen varieties
of the fruit grown in Delaware and
all but one has been ruined. in
spections so far indicate, Dean Nc
Cue said. An inspection of the
trees in the orchard of the Exper-
mental Farm, the dean said, show
all the buds have been killed. So
far, Dean McCue declared, the APP
pie trees have not been affected
but the freezing weather has had
a bad effect on the cherry crop
which will also be curtailed this
year. j. F. Adams, associate plant
pathologist at the Experimental
Farm who had also made a cur
sorry investigation, said that all in
dications point to an almost total
loss in the peach crop. From the
examination made, he also found
some evidence of damage to the
trees by reason of limbs and
trunks breaking, due to the cold.
There was no evidence thus far, he
said, to any damage to the roots of
the trees.
Jersey and Maryland Hit
He said he has also received
some reports that the crop in New
Jersey is also badly damaged, if
not ruined Heavy damage to the
peach crop in Maryland was an
nounced by the Horticultural De-
partment of the University of
Maryland following conclusion of
the testing of IA varieties of peach
trees. Slightly more than five per
cent of the buds, gathered from
the university's orchards early last
week and tested were alive with
Wilma and Greensboro showing
the highest percentage. While the
samples were taken only in this
vicinity, a statement from the de-
partment indicated the average
would remain practically constant
throughout the Eastern United
States from New York to Virginia
following the cold spell. A total
of 987 buds were taken into the
laboratory by students in the class
in practical pomology, working IN
der the direction of Prof. John FL.
Beaumont, head of the department.
Of these, only AZ were found to be
alive.
