BIG STURDY OVERSIZED
CORD TE
We found out what Kelly Cords would
do before we offered them for sale.
The experimenting was all burs. The
pleasure is-all yours. :
We made our tests with 500 KeHy Cords. If there was a
Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Tires, it would have
interfered. We subjected those tires to the most inhuman
treatment we could think of. We drove them over heavy, icy,
rutty, winter roads, day and night, on cars weighted up to 5200
pounds, until we wore them out We then averaged up the
odometers and got over 12,000 miles for the 500 tires. You are
not buying a new untried tire when you buy Kelly Cords. . You
are getting a seasoned veteran. They add new luster to the
name "Kelly-Springfield."

LENIENCY SHOWN TARDY
TIME LIMIT FOR FILING INCOME
TAX RETURNS -ENDS.
Excuse of Belated Mall May Not Work
If Returns Are Not la Collec
ts tors' "Office today.
WASHINGTON, April 1. Although
persons who fail to have their income
tax returns In the hands of revenue
collectors by midnight tonight are
subject to penalties, some leniency will
be shown for returns which arrive to
morrow and for whose tardiness some
good reason is presented, it was inti
mated today at office of the revenue
commissioner here.
Some collectors. It was eald, are ex
pected to accept all returns arriving in
tomorrows mails, without question.
Technically, however, the responsibili
ty for having the returns In collectors'
offices by midnight Is on the taxpay
ers, and the excuse of 'belated mail
service will be accepted only as a
meana of simplifying collectors' work.
All revenue offices were instructed
to remain open until midnight to re
ceive returns. These were due under
the law on March 1. but Internal Rev
enue Commissioner Roper extended the
time for a month.
MANY GARDENS ASSURED
City Handles 8000 Xots Which Is
Considered Small Part of Total.
War gardens In Portland will num
ber well Into the thousands, according
to records at the office of City Auditor
Funk, where vacant lots have been han
dled. The Auditor's office has handled
approximately 3000 lots and this 1b
considered a small fraction of the total
to be used in the city.
The 3000 lots handled by the city are
those which the city has obtained for
persons wishing to make gardens. By
far the greater part of the lots to be
used in the city have been obtained by
the users themselves without going
through the Auditor's office.

cumbrance on the house and lot, where'
as it was found to be heavily mort
gaged. The defense likewise alleged the

more than $1000. although the Jurors,
in their verdict, held It to be worth
J2000.
