A partial breakdown showed that the grocer paid four federal taxes and the baker, a national firm owning its own trucks, paid eight federal taxes. The grocer and baker also paid 15 state taxes of one sort and another. , A Kansas City flour mill which supplied the baker paid seven federal taxes and eight Missouri state taxes. The rail road that carried the flour to Indianapolis paid five taxes to Uncle Sam and an assortment of taxes to the three states it passed through. Taxes also were paid by the New Orleans sugar mill, the Chi cago salt warehouse and malt plant, the Cincinnati shortening company and the various rail roads carrying these ingredients. "Assuming all these outfits passed along part of their tax burden in prices, there were at least 151 taxes on this single loaf of bread sold by the Indian apolis grocer," the foundation said. Zoo Officials Ask ' Advice on Cranes New Orleans (U.R) Zoo . of ficials called for expert advice today on how to tend the only pair of whooping cranes in cap tivity and their two precious eggs. Director George Douglass of Audobon Zoo orderer a 24-hour watch around the flood-lighted wire enclosure that is the home of Josephine and Crip to make sure the eggs are hatched. Douglass said a wildlife expert will be brought in to supervise the incubation, which is expect ed to last about a month. Last year the long-stemmed birds hatched two eggs, but one chick disappeared, presumably the victim of a predatory bird, and the other died within 47 days. Story of the DoctorTWioEresciibed for Himself 1 O Once there was this smart doc who bought a great big hearse of a benzine buggy. It looked so good on the salesroom floor. But this over-chromed, outsized jalopy needed a gas transfusion every few miles. And it was so big and long the doc never could find parking space at the hospital. "I'm suffering from car-itis," said the doc So he went and looked at a cute little foreign job, but it wouldn't even begin to hold all of his family. O Then he looked at Rambler-only car with American "big car" roomi ness and foreign car economy and maneuverability. "I'm prescribing Rambler for myself," said the doctor. 0 It didn't take him long to find out that he could own two Ramblers both a 6 and a new V-8 for no more than it cost him to own his big, over grown hulk of a car. So he bought 'em. 0 Now the doc has to fight with his wife and the kids to even get to drive 'one car. He's at the point where he's about to own three Ramblers. Try a Rambler. You'll see!
