with stark realism by a girl of
twelve: a scene in a barn with a
smoking lamp on a rough table, the
farmer and his wife, and in one
corner Hess wearing the iron cross
and a swastika. The majority of
the pictures, however, have such

10000 CARS STILL
LACK TAX STAMP
Car and Truck Owners Who
Fail to Buy Stickers Face
$500 Fine
ON SALE THROUGH FEB.

Some 10000 Delaware car and
truck owners will have to leave
their vehicles in the garage, as the
penalty for not paying the govern
ment't auto use tax. Sales of about
$4,000 stamps before Saturday
nights deadline are estimated by
the Bureau of Internal Revenue Of
flee and the states 70 postofices.
At $500 apiece, this means about
S157 900 to help Uncle Sam keep
'em flying. But there are possibly
10000 more licensed cars and
trucks in Delaware, and the owner
Of each of these faces a $25 penalty
or 80 days in Jail if he drives with
out obtaining the tax stamp and
conspicuously displaying it on the
car. It's illegal, even, to drive to
the postofice to buy the stamp.
Enforcement is still in the doubt
full stage, and no rigid rules on ap-
plication of the fine have been an
nounced. In any case, the Intern
al Revenue Bureau and postotfice
will continue to sell the stamps
throughout February, and won't
ask any questions" of late buyers,
according to one postal official
Purchasers must, however, mail to
the Bureau of Internal Revenue a
card containing notice of payment
of the tax. The postofice will date
the cards, which also will bear the
postmark to offer double testimony
about the purchasers hardness. No
car owner need buy the stamp un-
