NEW POTATO LAW
CALLS FOR TAX ON
Retailers May Split Con
tainers And Sell In Any
Quantity After First Tax
Paid Is New Regulation.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 18. (AP) The
AAA reported today that the work of
setting up' machinery to administer
the new potato control law la pro
ceeding rapidly.
Some time ago a national tax ex
empt allotment of 326.600.000 bush
els waa announced. Potatoes sold in
excess of the allotment will be taxed
of a cent a pound.
The work of breaking this allot
ment down Into quotas for Individual
growers was started first In early
producing states, auch as Florida,
Texas and California. Already some
potatoes bearing tax exemption
sumps have been sold In Texas.
Answering queries, officials said
the law applies to all potatoes,
whether sold In Interstate of Intra
state commerce. The law says that
potatoes must bear either a tax ex
emptlon Btamp or a tax-paid stamp
at the "first sale" and that the
stamps must be placed on closed con
tainers. Under AAA regulations, however,
moat retailers can sell potatoes In
bulk In large or small quantities and
will not have to sell them In con
tainers. The AAA says almost all
commercial potatoes are sold by farm
ers to wholesalers, and that the tax
and container requirements apply
only to this "first sole."
Thus the retailer can split a con
tainer of potatoes up Into email lots
and sell them as usual. The ordi
nary consumer, It was said, will not
be aware of the mechanics of the
control law.
However, at public markets, to
which farmers go to sell direct to
consumers. It Is expected that pota
toes will have to be sold In contain
ers. The law provides fines up to
' 11.000 for violations.
No set specifications have been Is
sued for the containers, and It was
Indicated that the usual sacks,
crates or barrels would do. The
stamps are Issued In many denomi
nations, to cover sales from a few
cents upward.
SALEM, Dec. 18 (p) The much
discussed question as to whether Sa
lem, shall operate under a city man
agership plan of government will be
definitely decided at the January 31
special election. The city council
voted 9 to 4 to submit the plan to
the voters.
New Clock Styles Ease
Gift Selection Problem
(By Janet Wrey Smith)
How many of you have finished (or
even started) your Christmas shop
ping? To those of you, both men
and women, who are still In quan
dary, we would like to give a few
more gift suggestions.
We don't know whether you have
noticed or not, but the prosaic clock
has blossomed out In a number of
new designs this year that are both
decorative and unusual. You'll find
all shapes, colors and sizes, many
truly beautiful, and all a definite
addition to rooms, whether boudlolr
or kitchen.
Newest of silver Is the Kensington
ware, non-tarnlshable, non-corrosive
and resistant - to fingerprints, which
may be had in complete services or
special pieces, very graceful In de
sign, - We like the evening galoshes trim
med In fur, which come under the
head of an extravagance many women
would not Indulge In for themselves,
but would be delighted to have. It's
It's always a good idea to buy for
your friends what they wouldn't buy
for themselves. If you give practical
glfes, try to Include some small friv
olity. Metal scarfs, collars and belts
arfe being much used this year, and
make a gift that Is both practical
and festive. v
An ageless gift are chromium
coffee sets constructed particularly
for breakfast In bed, In three sections
that fit into each other to make one
convenient place. Hanginj Ivy bowls
make nice gifts, as do also lamps, of
which you'll find a large variety
white being the newest color. A very
dainty gift la the large sachet ball
we saw, made of silk yarn and fin
ished with a long tassel, which may
be hung In a closet or laid In draw
ers. Also new are the desk or table sets,
some of which contain compartments
for powder puff and cigarettes, and
others just for cigarettes and ash
trays. These are made In combina
tion of chromium and colored bake
llte, with roll-top lids.
A special compact we saw contain
ed not only rouge, powder and lip
stick, but complete eye makeup ma
terials, all combined to make a com
pact not larger than ordinary and of
convenient shape. A ladies' traveling
kit we saw In leather displayed a
tooth brush, nail brush, complexion
brush and comb all In matching
composition finish In bright colors.
Among lovely table decorations
are mirrors and sliver ships or pea
cocks, snd also crystal cigarette hold
ers and ash trays for individual
places. Speaking of tables, most pop
ular In the line of crockery at the
present time Is the vivid pottery
ware, liked by almost everyone.
Flower pot holders are becoming
very popular with housewives, and
may be found In groups of two or
three, or even more, some to hang on
the wall and others In bright enamel
metal for table or window.
And remember, tempus fuglt.

Doctor Points Way
To Cut Delinquency

PORTLAND, Ore., Dec 18. (JF
Dr. A. M. Skefflngton, director
of the Optometnc graduate clinic
at St. Louis, said If he were able
to treat every near-sighted child
In the first year trouble Is mani
fest, he could eliminate 40 per
cent of future automobile acci

quency. Addressing the Oregon Opto-metric-
association here yesterday.
Dr. Skefflogton said the person
with Ineffective vision 'ls more
dangerous as a driver than the

120 MOISTS DOOMED

IS
By
CHICAGO, Dec. 18. (P) Death
In automobile accidents la the
Christmas present In store fcr about
120 persons In the United States.
R. L. Forney, statistician of the
national safety council, said today
hla figures showed that many would
die on the year's happiest day.
About 00' of the doomed have
one chance to escape, Forney said
as he scanned the national auto
mobile death records. They may be
spared by the weather.
Abnormal cold, with Ice or snow
drifts on the pavements, would save
that many," the statistician said-
When the roads are dangerous,
the decrease In travel and the In
crease In care cuts down the toil."
Forney's grisly prediction was bas-,
ed on the year's trend and the toll I
of past Christmas day.
The same cold, relentless figures
show, Forney said, that auto acci
dents will kill 850 In the seven
shopping days before Christmas.
This would bring the year's casualty
total to roughly 36.000, equaling the
1934 toll.
WILLIAMS CREEK LAD
TRUDGES SEVEN MILE
P
WILLIAMS CREEK, Dec. 18-(Spl.)
About 4:30 one foggy afternoon re
cently, some of the older children
going home rrom the Provolt school
met a boy some six or seven years
of age, trudging along the road with
hla lunch cox and books under his
arm, crying. He said his name was
Bert and that he did not know where
he lived.
Ho was taken to the Provolt store,
but no one there had ever seen him
before. In the meantime. Mrs. Hill
had telephoned John Pernoll at the
Applegate store, to see If he knew
any little boy named Bert who lived
near there
It developed that a new family by
the name of Burtt had moved Into
the neighborhood recently and had
been to the store a few minutes be
fore, searching for the lad. The Burtts
had moved from Nebraska to the
Charley Mee place on Thompson
creek a few days before, and this was
the boy's first day at the Applegate
school. He had been taken to school
In a cor and was expected to come
home with the other school children.
School was out shortly alter 3 p. m.,
and at dusk the little fellow had
trudged some seven miles, having
token the Provolt road instead of the
Thompson creek road at the end of
the Applegate bridge. Needless to say
the family had a happy reunion,

GODS CHRISTMAS GIFT
IS
Speaking In the church of the Naz
arene Sunday night, Fred M. Weath
erford waa heard on the topic "Christ
the God Man. the Glorified Work
man." He aald In part:
"The burden of my message rests
upon both the dlety and humanity of
Chrlat In the relation He bears aa
God's Christmas gift to humanity.
"As a preview of the coming of
this Immortal Christmas gift, Isaiah
gives the prophecy of It 800 years
before its verification. In Isa. 7:4
are the words. Therefore the Lord
Himself shall give you a sign: behold
a virgin shall conceive, and bear a
son, and shall call him Emanual
(which la God with us)'.
"In John 3:16 we Have the most
quoted scripture of time. 'For God so
loved the world, that He gave Hla only
begotten Son, that whosoever be
llveth in Him should not perish, but
have everlaatlng life
, 'This represents the first Christ
mas gift, and the immortal example
of all Christmas giving.
"He la the only Son of God in a
sense in which there is no other. He
Is Son by nature All of the redeem
ed in Christ can claim sonshtp only
by the grace of adoption. Luther
said. 'Ood has many children, but
only one begotten Son'."
There was cne profession of faith.
