SALES TAX RULING
So FAR UNCHANGED
Levy Not Collectible on
Shipments Outside of
State by Merchants
Daily Dispatch Bureau,
In 'The Sir Walter Hotel.
nv J. C. BASKERVILLE

Raleigh, Feb l3-The ruling of the
that sales made at retail in North
Carolina and delivered by a common
carrier or otherwise in another State
are not subject to the State three per
cent sales tax, has not been changed,
Commissioner of Revenue A. j. Max
we'll said today. Accordingly, mer-
chants in North Carolina who have
been selling bills of goods to custom
ers in border states, such as Virginia,
Tennessee and South Carolina, to be
delivered to them in those states, will
not be required to collect the sales
tax on these sales, since they are
transactions involving interstate COM
merce If the customers buy the goods
in person and transport them them
selves, they must pay the sales tax,
however, since the transaction is com
pleted within the store, it was pointed
out.
Last week the board of directors of
the North Carolina Merchants Asso-
citation, in session here, protested a
ruling received from the Department
of Revenue based upon a recent OPP
inion from the office of the attorney
general, to the effect that sales of
this nature, even if the merchant
made delivery in another state, were
taxable and that the sales tax would
have to be collected. The merchants
commended that since the delivery of
the goods purchased by customers
from neighboring states had to be de-
livered to them outside of North Car

WET STREETS -SKIDDINC!

The worst experience a motorist
can have - when it comes to his
feelings - is to have his car in a
skid. There may be worse expert
ences, but there is nothing more
terrifying.
One of the prime reasons for
skidding is wet streets. For that
reason it is all the more necessary
to use care in driving while streets
and pavements are wet.
When an automobile skids, the
average driver is utterly helpless.
In fact, there is no assurance
that any Criver, by the mere abil-
ity he may possess behind steer
ing wheel, will come out of a skid
safely. When a car is skidding, to
all intents and purposes it is out
OF control. And that is, indeed, a
dangerous and terrifying few Sec
OndS.
There are several rules that
should be observed in driving in
wet weather or when streets are
wet from washing. For one thing,
drive slowly. 1t is necessary to
drive more slowly at such times
because brakes are more than use
less when driving on wet or Icy
pavements. And that brings to ones
attention another most important
rule. Never throw your car out Of
gear while it is in motion. That
rule, indeed, is an excellent rule in
dry weather also. A car out of gear

Dina, that sucn sales were NOT sttb-
ject TO the sales tax.
When questioned today concerning
this order, Commissioner Maxwell
said:
"The department of Revenue has
not changed its original ruling on
sales of this nature, involving the de-
livery of goods in other states. in
which it has held that these transac-
tions are in interstate commerce and
hence not subject to the sales tax

is potentially out of control. And
again, be unusually careful in ap-
plying your brakes when the streets
or highways are wet or ice-cOvered.
Often the quick application of the
brakes causes an accident by start
ing the car into dangerous skid
that ends up with the car smashed
against a tree or turned over its
occupants spilled along the road
way, dead or dying or badly in
jured.
The driver Of an automobile is
the skipper of his ship, the pilot
of his plane. He should never for
get that fact even for an instant.
And he should know the weather
conditions and should act upon
them. Skidding is dangerous, high

exercising unusual care.

Language Of Weu-Mode Cake
To Link Women of AU Nations
Fru Michelet Expresses
Vie,U in Addressing
Country Women.

The universal language of we'll
made cake and needlework combin-
ing both beauty and utility will link
the farm woman from Scandinavia
and the one from the hills of Georgia
better than any language.
Thus spoke Fru Marie Michelet Of
Sandwich, Norway, yesterday, on
the eve Of the opening of the third
triennial conference of the Associated
Country Women of the World. Fru
Michelet is vice president. and in
her own country is called the
grandmother of housewives organi-
Zations."
Pointing out that q number Of
the delegates will be from foreign
lands and will need a Translator to
understand speeches, Fru Michelet
said the food and handicrift exhibits
of local country women being set up
in the Government Auditorium will
speak q language that any may un-
derstand.
Fru Michelet, however, has been In
America many times and speaks per-
feet English. Her husband is pro-
fessor Of theology at the University
of Oslo.
1000 Expected to Attend.
Almost 1000 women are expected
to attend the conference sessions,
which opens at noon tomorrow in
Constitution Hall.
Fru Michelet seemed deeply stirred
by the response to the convention,
only 1900 delegates having been ex-
pected when it was planned. The
universal interest Of rural women in
home management, handicraft, mar
keting from the farm, and child study
Is illustrated by the numbers flock

Palestine, Ceylon, and q dozen other
distant places.

World peace Is not built up around

"The foundation of our view of

we bring with US from the home.
Those are the sources Of armistice

influenced toward world peace by

K|DNAP WARRANT
Flies Back to New York
After Ex-Wife Sails With
Daughter.

By the Associated Press.
QUEBEC, Quebec, May 3o-After
using an airplane, warrant and a
ships searching party in vain at
tempt to find Ann Harding. his for
mer wife, Harry Bannister reluctant
ly recessed the international chase
tonight.
The acress' ex-husband, failing to
reach Quebec before Miss Harding
and their 7-year-old daughter
Jane had embarked for England,
first swore out warrant charging
the film star with abducting the
child.
Then. with a constable wondering
what to do with the warrant, Ban
mister searched the s. s. Empress Of
Australia as it was about to sail for
England.
Refuses to Believe She Left
That was the ship on which Miss
Harding first had made reservations,
and Bannister refused for a time to
believe she already had left, 16 hours
earlier, on another ship.
However, the tall pursuer, beret IN
hand. peered about the suites Miss
Harding had engaged and found only
a bouquet of flowers.
Bannister, his face severe. then an
nounced he would fly back to New
York.
Quebec airport officials announced
he took of shortly after o'clock with
Stanley Harte. his counsel, expecting
to fly direct to New York.
Before he left, Harte said he would
confer with other attorneys In New
York to decide upon future action.
Bannister's next move, he added, may
not be made for another six months.
Warrant in British Court.
Antoine Rivard. lawyer for Ban
mister, said the warrant was sworn
out in British court, and that Miss
Harding can be brought back from
England without extradition proceed
ings.
He asserted that "for every and
each day she detained the child" she
was guilty of abduction in Canada
as well as in the United States. He
claimed the warrant could have been
obtained in either country.
Bannister swore out the abduction
warrant after hurried airplane
flight from New York. At that city
he had declared: "I think the mother
should have the child, but If she es-
tablishes foreign residence I may
never see her again."
Have Mile Lead.
But Miss Harding and the 7-year-
old Jane apparently had 300-mile
lead down the scenic st. Lawrence
River, which yesterday she considered
too. too divine"
Bannister conferred with three at
torneys at the Chateau Frontenac. #
he still had plans to prevent Miss
Harding and Jane from reaching
English shores, he would not discuss
them. His plane got here just in
time to miss the departing actress,
who Is under contract for q British
film.
No one seemed to know Just what
the next step would be In the inter-
national pursuit. Officials said many
elaborate arrangements, including spe-
cial government passes, immigration
permits and passports, would be nee
essary for any attempt to board q
pilot tender to reach the liner.
Bannister's kidnapping warrant was
drawn under section 3l6 Of the GRIM
inal code, dealing with abduction
of child under the age Of IA years.
Bannister said he had not decided
what to do.

LEARN-TO-SW|M
COURSE SELAUNCHED
Y. M. c. A. and The Star
Join in Campaign to
Instruct Citizens.

With the advent of the Summer
water sports season and its attendant
hazards, The Star and the Young
Mems Christian Association have
joined again in arranging learn-to-
swim course for men of Washington
and vicinity.
During the recent Easter week
swimming course for boys, approx
mately 200 school boys graduated
from the ranks of non-swimmers,
thereby increasing their own safety
as well as that of others.
Surveys in past campaigns have
shown that hundreds of men are un-
able to swim. It was demonstrated,
moreover, that by expert instruction
many Of these can be converted with
in a week from liabilities to assets
in the water.
Endorsed by Officials.
It is with a view to promoting
water safety and at the same time
encouraging healthful recreation that
The Star and the Y. M. G. A. CO.
operate annually in providing free
swimming lessons for boys and men.
The movement has the Endorsement
and support of public and private Off
cials interested in safety, health and
recreation.
The course, for men 10 or older,
will begin June 8 in the mems pool
of the Central Y. M. c. A., Eighteenth
and G streets, and will continue for
one week. Intensive instruction in
the crawl stroke will be given by a
corps of experienced tutors, all of
whom are swimming stars.
Each class will be limited to 80 men
and they will be given 80 minutes of
instruction. Each class will be ini-
tiated with a shower bath before en-
tering the pool. Towels and soap will
be provided free by the Y. M. c. A.
Free checking service also will be
available.
Water Is Purified.
The lessons will be given at As
minute intervals throughout each day
of the campaign. The Central "Y"
pool is equipped with a modern re-
circulation, filtration and chlorination
system, which insures water pure
enough to drink. The water is being
pumped continually from the bottom
of the pool, circulated through pres
sure filters and treated with chlorine
gas as the flow returns to the pool,
along with stream of fresh water.
The water is completely circulated
twice daily and Is tested three times
daily for purity.
Colored men will be taught to swim
IN the pool Of the Twelfth street
