INTANGIBLE TAXES
LARGEST PAID in
FLORIDA TO DATE
PRESENT INDICATIONS POINT
TO EXCESS OF ONE AND
ONE-HALF MILLION DOL
LARS THIS YEAR

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. Aug. Is
FNS).-Information on intan-
gible property obtained from re-
ports made by Florida corpora
tions to the Federal government
in income tax returns will be
made available to county tax as
SCISSORS a month earlier than in
past years, w. M. Wainwright,
state auditor, announced last
week.
Auditor Wainwright has had a
force of men working on income
tax returns in Jacksonville for
some time under his supervision.
The work has been speeded up
by the adoption of a simplified
form which makes the work
much less complicated and en-
ables him to transmit the infor-
nation to the county tax asses
sors at an earlier date.
Present indications are that the
state returns from intangible tax
es will exceed one and one-half
million dollars this year, he said.
This will represent the largest
amount ever paid to the state
and will represent an increase of
more than one million dollars
over the SAT-, 1863 assessed in 1886,
the year before Governor Cone
went into office.
After completion of the exam
ination of income tax returns
flied in Florida, auditor VAIN
wright will go to Washington to
examine returns filed in other
states by residents of Florida.
He said he had been instructed
by Governor Cone to see that
every Florida resident paid his
just and equitable share of in
tangible taxes and that they
knew that some owners of large
intangible properties were filing
income tax returns in other
states in order to escape the strict
enforcement of intangible tax
collections started by Governor
Cone when he went into office.

On Vocational Service

one Chieron. the first recorded

which has come down through
the ages, being reinforced and
developed all along the line, re-

the art of healing on the road to
the separation of science and

point where four years must be
spent in study before a diploma

DR.. Morgan stressed the fact
that in any vocation, service to

Battle Started
AtNoon Today
Full Strength Of German
Blitzkrieg Believed En-
gagged In Crucial En-
gagementS
my Associated Press)

my AsSOcfateu BfesND
LONDON. Aug. l6-Hitler is
shooting the works" in an eff
fort TO blast the r. A. F. from
the air in quick order. as an
nouncement was made by the air
ministry here today that 1000
Nazi bombers and attack planes
were engaged in operations all
over our land.
The largest air-battle in history
didn't get under way until noon
today as low hanging mists over
the channel didn't clear until that
time. But, with the coming of
the sun, hundreds OF planes ap-
peared over the horizon, followed
by hundreds more. flying in
squadrons of over so planes
each.
Getting by coast patrols in
many sectors, the Nazis swept
inland and dropped thousands of
bombs on villages and industrial
centerS, in one instance sweeping
up the Thames river to within a
few miles of this city. Anti-air-
craft guns quickly drove the at
tackerS away from the city's out
skirts, however.
British observations were to
the effect that if the attack
keeps up at its present pace, Hit
Ter will have his full blitzkrieg
strength in the air. Then, one
observer noted, 1T will be a mat
ter of whether or not Hitler can
succeed in breaking English
morale, and take over rule of the
air.. 1t was pointed out that if
the present attacks are not sue
ceSSful, the Germans may as well
give up all thought of invasion.
The most crucial test of British
defenseS finds hundreds of dog
fights being fought. Observers
at many points declare that mo
matter where one looks, English
and Nazi planes are seen in dar-
ing attack and defensive tactics"
Diving in all directions feature
the battles that still rage this
evening.
British announced that at least
twenty enemy planes were down
ed an hour after the battles
started this noon. Nazi reports
on the battles were not given out
at press time.
Reports on yesterdays start of
the aerial blitzkrieg varied, &C
cording to which side reported.
The British claimed that 1000
German planes came over and
that the r. A. F. had accounted
for 1872 of them. Berlin denied
that that number of planes were
engaged in the attack, stating
that $50 planes were in the en-
gagement. They stated that their
attack had brought down over
100 British planes.
High flying planes late today
appeared over this city, according
to late dispatches, but no re-
ports of bombings were heard.
In many instances German
planes were seen to turn and
streak for home following re-
leasing of their bomb loads. 1t
is believed they landed on home
base fields, reloaded with fuel
and bombs, and came back for
more engagements in the terrific
air battle.

400 Year Old
Riddle Is
Still UnSolUed

TUCSON, Ariz., Feb. 9-By what
route did the Spanish explorer, Cor
onado, enter the territory that is
now Arizona?
That's obvious" say members OF
a party which made a recent tour
Of Northern Mexico expressly to
trace Coronado's trail.
But no matter how obvious it is,
the experts refuse to announce
whether, in their opinion, the ex-
plorer came into Arizona through
the San Pedro valley near Bisbee
or further to the East near Douglas
or through the Nogales area.
DR.. Russell c. Ewing, of the Uni
versity of Arizona, a member OF
the party, said the obvious solu
ton would be announced after al
existing documentary evidence or
the 4O0-year-old riddle has beer
examined.
