When Mrs. Hair reached Wash
ington, the first thing she wanted
to do was to shop. For the last
few months at Santo Tomas, and
on the ship coming over, she'd worn
wooden shoes held on to her feet
with a piece of rubber from an old
tire. So her first purchase was
what she'd dreamed of for months
red shoes.
I'VE were given only two shoe
ration coupons, and these are silly"
she admitted. smiling. They're
spike heels, with studs on the plat
form soles and low cut. But to me
they're beautiful. To me. they're
everything we didn't have those long
years at Santo Tomas. America
and freedom and luxury are all tied
up in that pair of silly red shoes"
So she's going back to Manila.
She's going to walk down the street
without stopping to bow before
every Japanese-as she was forced
to do, before. This time she'll bow
to no one. and she'll wear her
bright red shoes.

Montgomery May Tax
Two Johns Hopkins
Properties, Court Says
BY the Associated Press.

6y tne ASSOClabSo fteb6.
BALTIMORE, June 15.-Mont-
gomery County was given the right
to tax two Silver Spring properties.
held in the name Of Johns Hopkins
University but used exclusively for
secret Government work, In an
opinion handed down yesterday by
Chief Judge w. Conwell Smith Of
the Baltimore City supreme bench.
UNFOLDING an earlier ruling by the
State Tax Commission, Judge Smith
said that since the Government had
chosen to make contract placing
the properties in the name Of the
university, it must be assumed that
it understood local taxation would
ensue. ~
The properties are assessed for
the l945 tax year at $110,940.
One of them, the. former Wolfe
Motor Co., at 8621 Georgia avenue,
was taken over by the university
several years ago. More recently
the university acquired the Capital
Radio Engineering Institute property
on Georgia avenue in the Forest
Grove section near Wheaton.
While the title Is in the name Of
the university, they were acquired
by the Government in connection
with a secret war contract between
the university and the ONCE Of
Scientific Research and Develop
ment for research in naval and
military operations.
At the original hearings before
the State Tax Commission, it was
disclosed that Hopkins does not
bear the burden Of the taxation or
any other operating costs of the
property.
At the same time, it was explained
that they were acquired in the name
Of Hopkins, however, because too
much red tape, governmental super
vision and broad information con-
corning the secret activities would
exist If they were held in the name
of the Government and controlled
as public buildings.
Judge Smith said the properties
could not be taxed by the county
if they were held in the Govern
ment's name, unless the Government
consented by waving its immunity
to local taxation.
But the property of individuals
is subject to local taxes, even though
the burden of a tax fall indirectly
on the Government, he ruled.

Farm foreclosure sales in Mary
land have been made on descending
scale, since 1892, with slight in
crease shown in 1913 The number
of foreclosures per 1000 farms, car
rying mortgages have been; 1892,
22.3; 1898, 91.5; 1894, %; 1885,
14.9; 1886, 1874; 1887, II; 1898,

1912, "a; and 1913, SO. Agricultur-
al economists at the University of
Maryland point out that the present
low rate of foreclosures reflects two
things: 1. More and more farmers
have recovered from the drought
years and from their financial diff
culties, some of which resulted from
paying too much for farms and bor-
rowing too much money to do so dur
ing and after the last war; and q.
The present high farm incomes are
making it possible for most farmers
to get and keep their debts in shape
Farmers are warned against buying
farm land at prices far above the nor
NAL earning capacity of the farm to
pay off.

CARE, SHARE, REPAIR FARM
MACHINERY is ADVISED

With the production of farm ma
chinery 25 per cent behind schedule,
care, share and repair of what is on
hand become increasingly important.
The use of labor-saving equipment
is strongly emphasized. ]. R. Ward,
farm machinery specialist at the Uni
versity of Maryland urgest that each
farmer repair such equipment as he
now has and construct or convert
ether equipment for this purpose
Repair parts are free from govern
ment quotas, and should be in suffi-
cient quantity providing orders are
placed with repair parts dealers i'm
mediately. 1t is recommended that
arrangements be made now to get
necessary repairing done prior to the
production season. Such arrange
ments may be made with the local re-
pair man; with farm machinery re-
pair shops sponsored by county
boards of education; in the home
farm shop where facilities permit;
or by cooperating with neighboring
farmer who has shop facilities.
Many breakdowns of farm machin-
cry are caused by the lack of proper
fabrication and the failure of the OPP
orator to keep his machinery in pro-
per adjustment. A careful check
should be made to safeguard against
these two major problems,
Get the old machine performing
like new, and share its use with
neighbors, suggests Ward.

Clean Undergarments

The potential siren may be under
the impression that since black
doesn't show dirt, she can cut down
on the frequency of lingerie launder-
ing. That is where she is wrong.
Black or white or tearose, body oils
and perspiration attach themselves
to underwear and have to be washed
out. No girl who is truly dainty
gives an extra" wearing to gar
ment because it's color doesn't
give away the number Of wearings
it already has had. Here is a
washing tip for dark-hued under
wear. Wash it before the first wear
ing. Often there is excess dye on
the surface which loosens when
combined with body secretions and
stains other clothing or the skin.
Use plenty of lukewarm suds for
washing, clear lukewarm water for
rinsing.
