Using the ''underslung' method
allows little more leeway in the con-
struction of the body. because of the
overall height limitation set down by
tine rule book The height of the car
shall not exceed 80 inches. and only
the steering wheel may extend above
the allowed overall height. At the

method. the builder must remember
that the lowest part of the frame or
axle must be at least inches above
the ground.
Axles generally are made of steel
rods, pipes or bars. and sometimes. in
fact, are self-supporting instead OF
being fastened to mountings for sup
port. Rigidity in the axle. however, is
important. and it is best to have this
part well supported. An axle that

had he read it before? Then he remembered
a certain Executive Order. He smiled deri-
sively, frowned and finally caught himself
attempting the impossible feat of smiling and
scowling at the same time
What he needed was dose of Felderman,
and few minutes later he was at his lodging
in Battersea. In his optimism he dismissed
his cab. only to find Eric was out. Standing ON
the steps of the house, he looked up and down
the dismal street. Which way to the pub he
had visited only two nights ago? All he re-
membered was that it was nearby. He tried
walking three blocks in each direction from
the corner, in London always a fantastic
proposition. and was about to give up when
the odor of stale beer assailed his nostrils.
Down narrow alley he now recognized
the side door through which he and Eric had
emerged after their spree. He entered and
Immediately all became familiar. The second
booth was the one Felderman had declared to
be the cheerfulest spot in London. Voices were
issuing from it, nevertheless he pushed in and
came to an amazed and sudden halt. Joan
and Eric, equally absorbed, faced each other
across the narrow table, Feldermans mouth
fell open at sight of Curtis freshly ironed top
hat and Immaculate tie, but Joan accepted
his advent with her habitual calm.

two items destined to change
the course of his life. One was letter from his

That henceforth no one in the diplomatic

then visiting his mother in London.
He located Felderman cooling his heels at
the British War Office, made friends with
him, and offered him hundred thousand
dollars for his invention. Felderman agreed to
sell. but insisted that before they closed the
deal Curtis must see demonstration of how
the pitch control worked. How could this be
done secretly. and with whose plane?
! While Curtis was seeking an answer to this
question, his personal affairs were also sailing
into rough water. Audrey - beautiful, hard,
ambitious, but greatly favored by his mother
as useful wife for diplomat - was becom-

was trying to arouse his jealousy by favoring

ALUE OF GOLD TAX CASES
(Juneau Empire)

The mining industry will wat
 with a great deal of interest
 he outcome of the first court ,, ctions brought by the Territory iiEiso recover taxes under the l937
 ross tax law, and the result will
 probably have definite effect )n what the Legislature conven- Ing in January will do relative uslto the mining tax.
 The gross tax passed by the Legislature levies a three per cent tax on the gross output of gold and platinum operations, while the levy is against the net on other minerals, thus raising the question of constitutionality based on the principle of a like tax on taxable sources of like nature. This point may be settled uzru in the cases which the Territory has now instituted.
 Likewise, there is considerable rsx agitation for change in the gold ! tax law on grounds that exemp- tions are not sufficiently high to protect the smaller operators. It bo is claimed in some sources that '. :; small operators are being pen Al alized under the present act with sa tendency toward curbing dew f II. elopment.
 for Without doubt these and many nto other points will be brought up n, when the Legislature starts three months hence. Thus the actions n brougt by the Territory now will

the HOLC went ahead with
plans for foreclosure proceed
ings.
Bravely the woman tried to dis
play a determination like that of
the late Lieut.. Mons MonSsen
when. with his bare hands, he
beat out a blaze that threatened
a magazine explosion on the
battleship Missouri.
She dreaded the unhappy duty
of telling her daughter, Sally. that
she had been informed of the
Holes decision to proceed with
its action, which will deprive her
of the home. The daughter receives
$24 a week on WPA job, which
is their only support besides Mrs.
Monssen's $30-a-month Federal
pension.
The widow was confronted with
mixed feelings about Washington
since, on the same day the Navy
Department advised her a new de-
stroyer will be named for her late
husband, another branch of the
Government dealt the foreclosure
