Proper Storage Saves
Farm Gasoline Supply

Proper farm storage will save
gasoline just as = good roof will
save corn and hay
Byron T. nTsrant. extension ag-
Ticultural engineer says that shad-
ing your outside storage tank with
sunshade or tree will cut down
evaporation loss.
Loss from evaporation through
the vent can run as high as 10 per
cent in a month If the tempera-
ture in the tank rises in the hot
summer sun. The tractor will be
harder to start when you use the
gasoline that's left. Part of the
gasoline evapOrates, and what's
left has a higher gum content that
may cause sticky valves.
Don't put your gasoline storage
tank in a building, BOndurant SAYS.
That will void your fire insurance
policy and increase the possibility
of fire. Keep a storage tank at
least Is feet away from any build
ing.
Ask a gasoline service man
about using a pressure valve on
the vent to reduce evaporation
loss. Such valves allow the pres
sure to build up to or 8 pounds
per square inch before they re-
lease the pressure.
Tilt your tank a little so that
water and sediment can collect in
the end opposite the gasoline out
let. Drain out the accumulation
at least once a year.

City Heads Discuss
New Works Taxes

The District Commissioners
met today to study what addi-
tional new taxes might be i'm
posed on city residents and an
nounced they hoped to get their
recommendations to Congress by
Wednesday.
The city heads refused to re-
veal what has been decided.
Originally the Commissioners
proposed f1nacing the general
funds portion of the $3O5 million
public works program by tax
boosts totaling $4.5 million: So
million more year in the Fed
eral payment. and a 81 mil
hon annual average in interest
bearing Federal loans over the
10-year period of the works pro-
gram.
Then. the joint Senate House
subcommittee considering the
works program indicated it was
considering elimination of the
request for the loan with higher
taxes taking up the slack.
The Commissioners are trying
to find just what new taxes
would be necessary to take up
that slack. Their position is that
they simply would have to be
prepared to recommend further
tax increases they consider the
least harmful in the event the
loan proposal is cut down or
eliminated.

Piccard's. That contraption, a
box-like affair weighing IS tons,
had been modified by construc-
ton of a submarine-shaped float
around it. It was given to the
French by the Belgian navy.
These same two men broke
the existing diving record last
August IL when they descended
to a depth of 5,082 feet in the
Mediterranean. Two days later
they beat their own mark by

Lands Is Indicted

By Joseph B. Byrnes

James r. Lands. 90, was in
dicted by a District grand jury
today on a charge of stealing
and purloining" 100000 in new
$40 bills from the Bureau of
Engraving and Printing.
The panel. however. ignored
charges against Lands wife,

Mrs. Lands had insisted she
was not guilty since discovery of
the theft from the bureau on
January 4. Authorities said they
were unable to produce evidence
that she had ever handled the
money, had ever derived any
benefit from the theft or even
knew that the money had been
stolen.
Disclosed by Father.
Disclosure of the theft from
the bureau came through Mrs.
Lands father. Irving Grant. an
elderly chauffeur butler on a
Mlddleburg, (Va.) estate.
Mr.. Grant turned over a metal
box filled with money to Virginia
State Police after Lands and
Giles had taken it to him for
safe keeping.
Lands is specifically charged
with the theft of 100000 in
new $40 bills. The four named

same indictment with receiving.

Dummy Package Used.
The difference in the amounts
charged to Lands and his four
confederates stems from the
fact that although he allegedly
took the larger amount and SUBJ
stltuted two dummy money
packages. he did not take all of
the loot from the bureau.
The balance. $4,000. was
hidden by Lands in the bureau.
Approximately $4,000 has
not been recovered, Assistant
United States Attorney E. Riley
