Nephew of King Sells
Estate to Pay Taxes

LEEDS S, England - Nobility
throughout the world has been hav-
ing a tough time of it for a number
of years, for the most part finding
themselves without people to rule.
In England, however, it is a little
different. English nobility is finding
1t difficult to pay taxes. The latest
example is the Earl of Hardwood,
nephew of King George, who has
been forced to sell a third of his
ancestral estates at auction to pay
inheritance taxes.
Most of the happy buyers were
his old tenants-farmers and trades
people. A total of 1000 of his %, 900
acres were sold to pay the taxes,
amounting to approximately So, 1885,
480.
The Earl told his tenants he would
like to have them bid in the homes
and fields they had rented.
Mrs. Annie Mary Ridsale, SO,
bought the cottage she had lived in
40 years. When it was knocked down
to her for 1888, she said, II am so
happy I could walk home the 10
miles to Leeds"
The post office, with 61a acres,
went for $7,420 and the shoemaker
bought his shop for S168.
One tenant paid $33, $50 for two
farms his family had worked on
or around for 300 years.
Single farms brought as much as
$23, 100 for IT'S acres and a house.
Two others were withdrawn from
sale because bids were too low. A
King George III period stone house
dating from American Revolu-
tionary times brought S., $3.50.

0Id.Fashioned Coal Oil
Aviation Fuel of Future

NEW YORK-Alexander Ogston,
member of the aviation department
of a large petroleum company, be.
lieves that kerosene, the old-fash.
toned coal oil that grandmother
used in her wick lamp and still
used in many farm stoves, is the
fuel of the future airplane.
Ogston said that while the con-
ventional type of airplane engines
would be built for at least 10 years,
eventually air liners will be jet
propelled. He believes kerosene
will fulfill the needs of a safe and
economic fuel.
There is little doubt that a fuel
of the general characteristics of
kerosene comes closer to satisfy

He admitted that there have

Cgston said research was now

tect kerosene from freezing at ex.

will be necessary if military planes
using kerosene are to operate in
the arctic regions.

early days OF the PACING war. In
its exotic setting, Spencer Tracy
James Stewart, Valentino Cortesa
and some others fitch a huge rub
ber stockpile from the Nipponse
without making it seem as exciting
or important as it was at the
actual time.
This, of course, is likely to be the
case in any belated account of
wartime heroism, even one over
flowing with name players as is
Malaga"
1t is an interesting enough tale
that the CapitoPs picture has to
tell about a few fearless, morally
soiled Americans who thought it
would be both exciting and patri-
otic to steal the Japs' rubber.
The key man in this adventure
is Stewart as a footloose news
paperman who has memorized the
Pacific islands and their peoples
in years of wandering among
them. He knows where the Mala-
yam rubber is cached, talks the
administration into financing him
on his informal deal, and sets
forth to bribe the Malay planters
and freebooters into delivering it.
His chief associate, played by
Tracy, is doing an Alcatraz hitch
for much the same kind of work
as the project calls for, but since
he knows all the tricks he is
turned loose to master-mind the
operation.
The Malaga on which they
land. from a Navy submarine, is
occupied by the Japs but it re-
mains a free and easy island
whose men are reckless and whose
love of gold has remained un-
tarnished by the occupation
forces. With a handful of these
murderous demons, the Americans
set about liberating the rubber
cached by three large planters.
These are, respectively, an Eng
lishman, a Brazilian and a Ger
man and it is the latter, of course,
who finally manages the double
cross that brings the picture to
its climax.
Richard Thorpe. who directed
Malaga, has worked it into the
image of a somewhat standard
screen thriller in which the cold,
calm natures of the characters
contrast strikingly with the ex-
citement of the deeds they are
up to.
Among the lot of humans on
the sleazy premises, Tracy is the
most hard boiled. Mo- patriotism
fires him in his quest for the
much-needed rubber. He is in
Malaga to help get it, but two
better reasons for coming are the
money he earns and the presence
of Miss Cortesa as a night-club
singer in the saloon of his pal,
Sydney Greenstreet. They are
two OF a kind, Miss Cortesa and
her calculating lover, and they
have high old time Of it while
Patriot Stewart is directing the
rubber steal.
The action of Malaga" which
is geared to the tropical climate
of the place, centers principally
in the Dutchman's saloon and the
up-river country. Both are omi-
nous with hazard but after the
American invaders and the
Dutchman show an Indifference

Add Up the Advantages
OF a Water System
By w. w. BROOKS

The well was 20 feet from the house
and 10 feet lower, so that walk
down and up hill was necessary.
The engineer calculated that DUR
ing so years this woman had carried
1000 barrels of water from the well
to the house, had walked distance
equivalent to that from New York
and San Francisco and back, and had
climbed up and down distance
equal to 100 trips up and down Pixies
Peak.
The factual moral of this true story
is that, if her home had been
equipped with running water, con-
venient at shiny sink in her kitch-
en-, she would have had 1920 more
hours of leisure than she did have
during her life.
Electric water pumps are economi-
cal in operation. A deep-well pump
consumes about " kilowatt hours
of electricity to pump 1000 gallons
of water. One kilowatt hour is all
the power a shallow well pump takes
to raise 1000 gallons of water. With

Farmers song if her spouse has a
new water system with automatic
pump installed. Instead of plodding
from the house to the hand-pump
and back again carrying the 20 to
80 tons of water used in the kitchen
alone every year, Mrs. Farmer can
leave that work to a shallow-wen
or deep-well electric pump.
Save 80 Days a Year
How much time does the average
farm family spend carrying water?
Thirty 8-hour days each year just
to supply the kitchen needs. Add to
this 20 large buckets on washday
plus the requirements for livestock
and you begin to see the magnitude
of this job.
A home convenience survey re-
Gently discovered a farm wife, nearly
20 years of age, who had walked
5,710 miles to and from the well
which was the source of the house
hold water supply. In the so years
she had lived on the same farm she
had Travelled daily to the well which
was 40 feet from the house, and had
carried nearly 1000 tons of water.
The survey showed, moreover, that
the pipe could be extended from the
well to the house and the pump
placed inside the kitchen for $18.
$4,000 Hours Lost
Another disheartening report
comes from an engineer who figured
a few years ago that certain farm
woman, whose period of active life il
running her farm was so years, hac

Electric water systems increase profit.

so tremendously now, it is difficult
to see how any farmer can afford to
pump by hand.
Save Time. Energy. Money
Getting running water into your
home will help you save time, energy
and money over a period of years.
For the health of the family, prob
ably running water and sewage dis
posal are about the most important
conveniences in the kitchen and in
the home.
Sometimes such systems are lack
ing because folks think the entire
system must be installed at one time
and the total cost seems too high.
The surest way to get this conven-
fence is first to make plan and then
start fund. 1t is amazing how much
money can be taken from unneces-
sary expenditures for fund to meet
a real need.

2. To provide a convenient sup
