DiMaria got him released from the juvenile detention home, saying he was going to give him another chance.
 Leonard emerged from 24 hours of confinement bitterly disillusioned. By buying used cars, fancy shirts, and sports equipments for boys two, and three years older than himself, he thought he had bought host of friends. But not one communi- cated with him after his theft was discovered.
 Leonard is five feet, six inches tall and weighs 1S5 pounds. He felt boys his own age didn't like him because he was too big and older boys disdained him because he was too small.

TAX INCREASE
HEAVY BURDEN
Proposed Federal Gas Tax In

Small Income Group
1900 FOR REVENUES

If the federal gasoline tax is in
creased 1 cent per gallon by Con-
gress, the full impact of this in
crease will fall largely on the small
income group, according to a state
ment issued today by Horace V.
Daniel, Secretary, Associated Pc
troleum Industries of Delaware.
Two out of three cars on the road
are secondhand" Mr.. Daniel point
ed out. More than one-half of our
motorists have never owned a new
car. During a 10 year period sales
of used cars have outnumbered the
sales of new cars two to one. More
than half of the motorists of the
country have weekly income of
less than $50. In all parts of the
country passenger cars are bring
ing men and jobs together for de-
fense production and the worker is
today more dependent on his car
than ever before. At one defense
plant 5000 workers arrive at their
jobs in 5000 private automobiles,
many driving 40 miles. Defense
taxes should not be imposed in
on commodities. Last
July the federal gasoline tax was
upped so per cent and now Con-
gress proposes total increase of
$50 per cent for defense revenues, a
unfair burden, as con-
sumers today are paying well over
As per cent sales tax, state and fed
eral, on gasoline. Even half
cent increase takes one days pay
from millions of farmers, factory
workers and others who already
contribute two weeks wages in
gasoline taxes on their cars. Farm
ers and consumers in many organ
izations are vigorously protesting
the proposed increase"

INTERESTING SKETCHES

Jimmy Hines was the last Of the
old-line district leaders. Just how
many thousands of dollars he con-
tributed in one form or another of
charity, possibly never will be
known. One of Hines closest friends
once told me that Hines never kept
track Of what he gave away. When
it was known that he would be at
his Monongahela Democratic club,
there was always a crowd on hand.
Mostly they were down at the heel.
White, black and yellow, they were
all waiting for Jimmy Hines. Each
had trouble or problem. Hines
listened to the troubles and prob
lens. Most of the troubles could
be cured with a dollar or so. 1t
was always forthcoming. Hines paid
rent, hired doctors, sent around coal
or groceries, did thousand and
one things for residents of his dis
trict. And when the time came, his
district voted right.
Following the old axiom that chill
dren of today are voters of tomor-
row, Hines always made much Of
the youngsters in his district. Each
year. he gave a June Walk" in
Central park. No invitations were
necessary; the children merely
came one by one. or in groups as
organizations. Many were gaily cos
tuned. Ice cream, peanuts, pop
corn, soft drinks, with milk for ba-
bies. all were provided in quanti-
ties. Should supplies run out, there
never was any trouble. More were
ordered and charged to Jimmy
Hines. Once when bad boys stole
all the ice cream, Hines merely
laughed and within half hour twice
as much as had been taken was de-
livered.
We lived at 444 Central Park West,
which figured much in the testimony
in Hines trial. when he was a resi-
dent there. Every morning, there
was long line Of men and women
waiting for Hines to come out. But
no one ever saw Jimmy Hines in
his home unless he so wished. Ev-
cry employee Of the house was his
friend. Daily he tipped each min
imum of 81. Elevator men, hall
boys, porters and even fremen hat
ed to see Jimmy Hines move to an
ether address. But other tenants
were relieved. Those who waited
for Jimmy Hines out in front were
not always ornamental.

of these from health and labor
saving standpoint is the range she
uses for cooking. Kerosene has be-
come the most popular fuel for
rural use. This is due largely to
the general availability of kerosene
and the fact that manufacturers
hace brought out a line of beauti-
full, streamlined kerosene ranges.
These ranges are so modern in de-
sign and efficient in performance
that they are difficult to distinguish
from the modern gas or electric
range.
The modern kerosene range with
fully enclosed burners and fuel
tanks brings new cooking exper-
fences to the rural housewife. Even
those familiar with kerosene range
performance are amazed at the in
tense heat furnished by the highly
improved burners, either long or
short chimney type. Glass wool in
sulated ovens capture this heat and
turn out pies and cakes in hitherto
undreamed perfection.
Thus the emancipation of the
rural housewife starts, in the kitch-
en-, where it is most likely to effect
her entire family. She spends less
time over hot stove; the meals
she cooks in shorter time are more
more delicious; her
kerosene range is beautiful, mod
ern, streamlined; and she has more
leisure time to spend with her fam
lily.

suited in the creation of the man

Rapid expansion of the industry,
and the possibility of meeting all
