But when she looked at him she
realized the danger the storm held

fore dark.
Bills face was set, his Jaw grim
and determined. He would not let
Ann take chances, though at times
his moves on the slippery rocks
seemed hazardous to her. He was
not only getting himself down the
mountain; he was protecting her
from the elements and supporting
most OF her weight on the rope be-
sides.
In that moment OF danger, she
came 10 see Bill Ware for what he
really was. She had no doubt that
he was In love with her. He had
told her so, time and time again.
He had always been confident OF
proving his love for her. He hadn't

and pushed inside, safe from the

STATE AID URGED
TO RUN SCHOOLS
Association Executive Cites
Heavy Burden on Home
and Property Owners.

Calling attention to q recent report
by the ONCE Of education Of the De-
partment of the Interior stating that
70 per cent Of all public school revenue
in the United States Is derived from
local school district funds, Herbert
u. Nelson, secretary Of the National
Association Of Real Estate Boards,
says this means that more than two
thirds Of all common school support
In the nation comes from owners Of
homes, farms and other forms Of
real estate.
Practically the only kind of q tax
. school district or other small local
government can levy" states Mr.. Nell
son, "is a tax on general property.
This. however. means that whenever
real estate taxes become heavier than
the property can pay. followed by tax
delinquencies, local governments are
crippled and If the condition becomes
serious, as was the case in recent
years, schools in many localities must
be closed or their work curtailed. 1t
Is interesting to note that school au-
thorities are coming to recognize the
very close connection between q healthy
tax condition for real estate and q
healthy condition for school revenues.
Would Draw From State.
state governments, unlike local
governments. do not need to depend
on q tax on real estate. They can
draw support from every kind Of
wealth-producing activity within their
borders. including many kinds of
ownership and Of income production
that did not exist in the days when
the present State Constitutions were
drawn up. The logical way Of re-
ducing some Of the present excessive
tax burden on real estate is to draw
q greater proportion of the school sup
port from the State. with its compare
lively wide tax base"
As an Illustration of the latter
method. Mr.. Nelson cites some facts
from q report by the Department Of
Education In the State Of Washing
ton explaining the effect on the
schools in that State after passage
of an act limiting the total rate Of
tax to be levied against any piece Of
real estate.
Widening Of Tax Base.
This law was passed In 1882" said
Mr.. Nelson. 1T reduced real estate
tax totals by approximately IS per
cent, forcing q widening Of the tax
base. Schools drew from the substi-
tute taxes imposed by the State. They
are now drawing more than $4,000 =
600 per year from State sources, as
against something over $4,000, 900 at
the time the limitation law went into
effect. The Department of Education
has recently stated that 10 per cent
of the schools are now on cash basis,
as against q heavy warrant indebted
ness five years ago.
"A recent bulletin from the ONCE
of education of the Interior Depart
ment reveals the fact that Delaware,
North Carolina and West Virginia are
now paying either the entire costs Of
all public schools or the principal
items Of such cost. In West Virginia,

right and wrong ways to lubricate,
and too much as we'll as too little
oil may be used.
According to Carpenter, the best
guide to follow in oiling any house,
hold machine Is the one given by the
manufacturer. who naturally recom-
mends what suits his appliance best.
He knows where his machine should
be oiled. how often it should be oiled
and the best kind Of oil to use. For
this reason a good grade of oil is inn
portant. A poor quality oil will SOON
er or later become dry and sticky and
