United Press Stan Correspondent
 New York, May 10-(UP)-The world champion Cincinnati Reds no longer are favorites to win the Na- uonal league pennant. Jack Doyle, official baseball price maker, dropped them to third choice today because of their feeble start,
 The Brooklyn Dodgers and St.. Louis Cardinals were made co- 9avorites in Doyle's revised line fol- lowing the east-west intersectional games. The price against each is 7-6, with the Reds 2 1-2 to l. The Reds opened ct 6-6 with tho Dodg- CTS 0-6 and the Cards 4-i.

 The New York Yankees continue to hold the 5avorite's rolo in the American league with the price shortening from T-6 to 6-B.

 "The American league looks strictly like c two.horse race," Doyle said, "between the Yankees and Indians. Cleveland should win. They have the pitching, the key- stone combination, tho defense and good hitting in the outheld. Yet people question their courage. The Yanks are coming back strong, though. Dickey looks good and the kid shortstop Rizzuto Is doing everything they said he would. The Tigers look out of 1t now that dreenberg's gone. The Red Sox still haven't the pitching.
 "T'he National league looks like it'll stage an exciting race. Right now, If you compare the Dodgers and Cardinals man for man and team for team, it's like comparing two Tiffany diamonds. You can't tell lem apart. With the Cards, 1t looks like Q question of whether their youngsters can stand the gaff. Herman definitely has helped Brooklyn.
 Cincinnati isn't washed up yet but they have penalized themselves by getting of bad. They are now seven games behind and aren't hit- ting. They won 4 games last year by one run. I'll lay 10 to they don't win that many this year by one run. Their pitching is still good and may save them but they have to start hitting soon.
 T can't see the Giants. They haven't the pitching. The Cubs are trying to build for another year. The Pirates are an uncertain lot I look for quite scramble among the Giants, Cubs and Pirates for fourth place."
 Tn the only major league game played yesterday, the Cleveland In- dians, even with Bob Teller in the box, could not stop their downhjll toboggan, losing their fourth straight. The eighth-place St. Louis Browns beat the league-leaders, g. 6, aSd conquered Teller for the first time since 1e38. The defeat trimmed the Tribes lead over the Tanks to 2 games.
 The Browns rapped Teller, who was a 1T-5 betting favorite at gang time, for seven hits, including three doubles and 6 triple, in 3 Ia inn- ings. Teller walked four and famed one. Roy Cullenbine tripled with the bases loaded and Rip Rad- cliff hit a homer and Q triple. Ver- non Kennedy went the route for the Browns, allowing eight hits.

YOUR FEDERAL INCOME TAX
Personal Exemptions and Credit
For Dependents

Domestic relations enter into the
making of an income tax return
This shows itself in the matter of
personal exemptions. Too many
taxpayers do not understand who
is legally the head of a family, or
what is dependent. AS a conse-
quence, they overpay the Govern
ment by not claiming their proper
exemptions and credits. OF course,
the audit of their returns discloses
most of these errors, but not all of
them, due to negligence or lack of
understanding OF the income tax
law and regulations. Care is TAX
en- in drafting the instructions for
filling out the forms to make them
simple and easily understood. The
taxpayer should study these in
structions before making out his or
her return. The head of a family,

lations, Is one who, because of a
legal or moral obligation, supports

GASOLINE TAX
HAS BIRTHDAY
Delaware Vehicle Owners Are
Urged to Observe Gasoline
Tax Birthday in February
ONE FUND MERGER ACT

February, the month of famous
birthdays, is augmented by furth-
er date which will be observed but
not celebrated by motor vehicle
owners of this state, according to
H. V. Daniel, Secretary, Associated
Petroleum Industries of Delaware,
who today pointed out that mid
February marks the 22nd birthday
of the American gasoline tax which
was launched in Oregon in 1919.
Delaware motor vehicle owners
have contributed in state and fed
eral gasoline taxes approximately
SIS, 100000 since our gasoline tax
was imposed in 1928" Mr.. Daniel
declared Last year our motor
vehicle owners paid approximately
So, 100000 in gasoline taxes and the
1941 tax bill will be further en-
larged by the fifty per cent in
crease in the federal gasoline tax
imposed last July. The overall
burden of gasoline taxes in the
United States is equivalent to a
sales tax of 48 per cent of the re
tail price. The gasoline tax, when
all revenues are devoted exclusive
ly to highway improvement, is a
fair tax and an exact measure of
highway use. However, when these
revenues are used for other purpos-
es, as has been the practice here in
Delaware, the tax becomes inequit-
able and unjust. Eleven states
have recognized this principle and
have enact ed Constitutional
Amendments which prohibit diver
sion of these funds to non-highway
purposes. Such an amendment will
be introduced in this session of the
Legislature and should receive the
unqualified and vigorous support of
highway users. Delaware motor
vehicle owners will observe this
