ARRANGE SALE
OF TAxSTAMPS
1914 Issue Must Be Placed
on WindshieIds Start
ing July |

Commissioner Of Internal Revenue
Frank w. Kraemer, announced to-
day that auto use tax stamps In
the denomination Of $500 will be
placed on sale In all postofflecs and
offices Of Collectors Of Internal
Revenue on Saturday, June 10. The
stamps will evidence payment Of the
tax for the fiscal year beginning
July l, 1914, and must be purchased
on or before that date. The stamps
will be serially numbered, will be
gummed on the face, and will have
provision on the back for entry Of
the make, model, serial number and
state license number Of the We
hicle.
Mr.. Kraemer said that, to guard
against loss or theft, It has been
suggested that, when afflxing the
stamps, the vehicle owner should
dampen the windshield rather than
the adhesive side Of the stamp.
This method has been recommended
to keep the stamp intact upon the
windshield. AS an additional pre-
caution, 1t has also been suggested
that each motor vehicle owner
should make q record of the serial
number which appears on the use
tax stamp for protection In the
event the stamp should become lost.
Every owner Of motor vehicle
which Is used upon the highways
should call at his local postofflce or
at the office Of the Internal Revenue
Collector and secure a $500 use tax
stamp and affix It to his vehicle on
or before July 1, 1914, the Commits
sioner said. The various postoff1ces
will sell the stamps over the counter
for cash only and no mail order
business with respect thereto will
be conducted by the post Offices.
Collectors Of Internal Revenue are
authorized to accept cash, postoftice
money orders, and certified checks
in payment Of the use tax stamp.
Uncertified checks will not be &C
cepted.
Sale of the less than S. denomin-
alton use tax stamps in post offices
has been discontinued. Such Offices
will stock the IS denomination
stamps only and motor vehicle
owners liable for payment Of the
use tax for periods of less than a
full year must obtain their stamps
In lesser denominations from the
Collector of Internal Revenue.
It Is the desire Of the Bureau OF
Internal Revenue that the use tax
stamp shall be placed on the wind
shield in a location that will not be
In conflict with state requirements.
Mr.. Kraemer stresses the fact that
the use tax law has not been re-
pealed and cautions motor vehicle
owners that failure to purchase and
display the new use tax stamps on
vehicles using the public highways
after July /, 1914, will subject the
violators to severe penalties i'm
posed by law.
Penalties-Persons liable for the
tax who use or permit the use OF a
motor vehicle or boat before the
tax has been paid shall be deemed
by the law to be guilty Of mis-
demeanor and be punished by q fine
Of $25, or 80 days imprisonment, or
both. A similar penalty Is imposed
on a person who uses or operates a
motor vehicle or boat which does not
bear a stamp, sticKer, or tag afhxed
In the manner provided In the COM
regulations.

FIRST, a word 70 you who want home
telephone.
AS of today, there are about 10000 of you on the
waiting lists of our business Offices throughout our
state. Some of you have been waiting for many
months.
The reason is shortage of telephone equipment,
manufacture of which for normal civilian needs was
practically suspended late in 1922
To all of you we must say frankly that chances
of filling your order depend upon three factors They
are: (I the extent to which present subscribers may
decide to give up service, thus releasing central
Office equipment, instruments, outside wires, etc.;
~ the extent to which such released equipment is
not needed for war and essential civilian services,
emergencies, and minimum business use; and (S)
the specific situation in the central Office to which
your telephone would be connected.
While we expect to be able to ELL during 1914
considerable number of the earlier orders now on
fe we cannot predict when insallers will reach
your home From present indications, the waiting
period will be year or longer for those of you who
are currently placing orders.
But zoe do promise goa this: Your Gppli-
cation tciu not be forgotten, and 1t will be
filled strictly IN order of receipt.
SECOND, TO present home telephone
subscribers who PIGn 70 move.
So far, we have been able to transfer home service
for many of our present subscribers who have moved
from one location to another. However, because of
the shortage situation transfers cannot be made to
all locations and If our inability to transfer your
service would affect your decision, we suggest you
call us before your movngplans are final Telephone
cur Business Office
Those Of you for whom we have transferred ser
vice already know that we cannot give you the

extension telephones you may have had at your
previous address, This is because of the government
order fair order under present circumstances
that only one instrument may be connected at
new home address.
The purpose is to spread the use of existing
instruments at time when no new telephones for
civilian use are being made.
We repeat: If you are planning to mooe.
please find out first if tDe can procide tele-
phone seroice at your netO location. Just
call our Business Office.
Now may take moment to say something on
behalf of us telephone people? 1t concerns you too
We don't like to use the words mo" and I'VE
don't know when" any more than you like to hear
them.
We have a pretty good idea how you feel when
you've been accustomed to telephone service when
and where you want it - and can't get it We think
we know how Sorry sounds when you, as an appi-
cant for new service move into new place and find
that the previous tenants instrument must be put
back into the pool to Ell an order ahead of ,0urS
-. or when you ask just how long you will lave to
wait and we are unable to tell you
But so long as needs of war have FIRST claim and
until the manufacture of adequate telephone equip
ment for civilian use can be resumed wei have to
keep on as best we can.
Meanwhile, we are finding an attitude of CO.
operation and understanding on your part that is
genuinely appreciated by all of u.s.

PARIS-(ANP) - Conditions of
the war at present are making
it imperative for the American
Red Cross TO establish clubs on
the continent stated by colored
personnel for the welfare Of our
boys.
Colored soldiers have now
formed an unbroken line from the
United Kingdom 10 the Normandy
peninsula through France and right
into Germany. The pressure Of
absolute necessity therefore arises;
and 10 cope with this, the Ameri-
can Red Cross has begun 10 send
a number Of colored girls on the
continent.
New ones are replacing them in
the United Kingdom. A few days
ago 10 new colored girls arrived
in London.
New Arrivals in Paris
The girls who have just arrived
in Paris include Gladys Martin
from Topeka, Kans. She was d.
rector of the Liberty club in Cher
bourg and therefore has claim TO
be the first colored woman club
director on the continent. Gladys
Martin has been serving in the ETC

Coastal Commands torpedo and
rocket bombers have crippled the
enemy's blockade-running feedline
in the Bay of Biscay to German
war plants, while British Liberia
tors and Wellingtons from Italy
again have strewn the lower mill

throttle another source of supply,
it was announced today.
During the last six months the

aged, the Raj announced. Assess
ments on an additional Is are still
to be made.
Inc attacks were made by planes
equipped with bombs, torpedoe.
and new rocket projectiles. No fig.
ures indicationg the success of the
rockets alone are available.
The Coastal Command has found
torpedoes and rockets complement
tary weapons, the rockets having
sunk medium-sized merchantmen
while the torpedoes have proved
useful in attacking stable vessels
but are apt to pass under smaller
ships.
The second series of mining o.
erations covering hundreds of
miles Of the Danube river have
been completed by Raj Liberato-s
and Wellingtons of the strategic
air force, an official announcement
in Naples said. The operations, car
ried out at low altitude and at
night, have effectively cut down
German waterway traffic and in
creased the strain on the central
European rail system, by closing
the iron gate river route over
which much Romanian oil was
shipped to Germany via Hungary.
