YOUR INCOME TAX; DEDUCTION FOR MOTOR GAS TAX If an automobile is used for both business and pleasure, all of the maintenance and operating expenses connected therewith, which constitute allowable deductions for Federal income-tax purposes, should be allocated to the two uses on the basie of the time that it ie used for each. For example, it the total expense of operation and maintenance, plus depreciation, for the taxable year amounted to $800, the car was used three -fourths of the time for business and the balance of the time for pleasure, the allowable deduction for Federal income tax purposes would be $600. If a law which imposes a tax on gasoline showe that the tax is imposed on the consumer and not on the dealer, the consumer may deduct as a tax, for Federal inpurposes, the amount of the gasoline tax paid by him; but come- tax the taxpayer must have kept records of the payment of such taxes in order that the deduction may be substantiated ag is required by the law and the regulations.

The Federal gasoline tax is not deductible by the consutaxpayer may ascertain whether the gasoline tax imposed by a State is deductible by the consumer or by the dealer by addressing an inquiry to the collector of internal revenue for his district. In any case where the gasoline purchased is used for business purposes the tax may be added to the cost of the gasoline and deducted as a business expense; but where that is done, the gasoline tax cannot be deducted separately under the item of taxes. HITLER SPEAKS ON NAZI ANNIVERSARY Munich, Feb. 24 the same beer hall where, seventeen years ago, he defiantly proclamed the program of the newly founded Nazi party, Reichsfuehrer Adolf Hitler tonight addressed an anniversary gathers of his "old fighters."

"But was the size of these prophecies justified?" he asked--and received as an answer a roaring ovation from his "old fighters." (Beginning May 17, 1933, when he demanded equality for Germany in a reply to a peace plea by President Roosevelt, Hitler has struck off the shackles of the Versailles treaty. (His last step was taken last January 30 when he told the reichstag that the confession of Germany's guilt in the World war, contained in the treaty, had been "wiped Beyond reiterating Germany's desire for peace with justice, Hitler did not discuss foreign policy.

CREATIVE ABILITYNEED OF INDUSTRY Nichoson 'Tells Foremen's Club In Making Plea For Kindly Relations FIRST M.

E. CHOIR SINGS An earnest plea for deep appreciation of the kindly human relations in industry marked an address delivered last night by Captain A. A. Nichoson, of New York, before the Foremen's club of York. He is manager of the personnel department of The Texas company.

"Building Better Men Through Building Better Foremen," was the topic of his address. He emphasized that as human engineers foremen face a great responsibility and face a problem of creating a proper mental attitude among the workers. Workers of today want security, and when a man is given employment, a worker is not hired, but a man is hired, according to the views of the speaker, and he put it up to the foremen to give each man a desire to want to be a part of the organization; to give the men factual information about the background and policy of the organization of which they become a part by reason of their employment. He scored paternalism and coercion in the handling of men. Stewart P.

Sandhogs Hold Life Cheaply In River Tunnels (By The New York, Feb. 24 is held cheaply by the sandhogs-the men who work in compressed air under cities and rivers but they had never reckoned on murder to bring them into the public eye. A "blowout" in a river, a cavein in a land tunnel or even "the airz might some day have gotten Norman Redwood, business agent of the sandhogs' biggest union, local 102, of the International Laborers' union. But to be riddled to death by carload of gunmenAt card tables of the union headquarters, Redwood's pals still seemed bewildered today by the fate of their leader in the driveway of his Teaneck, N.

home last Friday night. Charles Hendren, president of local 102, a Scotsman with a lively burr in his voice, recalled many dangerous jobs he had shared over the world with the Englishman, Redwood, since they joined up twelve years ago in "the old country." Today their union sends sandhogs anywhere and everywhere where men are needed to work in "the air." They are planning to send men soon to San Francisco, others have gone to Belgium and a large group to Buffaio, N. Y. One hundred men recently returned from a Detroit job. Casualties are commonplace.

A "blowout" a few weeks ago sucked two men out of a tunnel New York's East river. One stuck in the mud, sixty feet under the river's surface. The other survived was shot like a bullet to the surface. Engineers must watch a river's surface for dangerous air escapes when sandhogs are working below. The compressed air in which they work causes "blowouts" when there is not enough "blanket" on the river bottom over the tunnel.

Sometimes a "blow" can spout water six or eight feet above the river's surface without danger. Other times a mild bubble may cause engineers to direct the dumping of clay to thicken the tunnel's "blanket." Sandhogs earn up to $100 a day on a dangerous job that must be done rapidly. At a fifty-foot depth, where eighteen pounds air pressure is required they do a normal eight hour day's work at the usual pay of $11.50 for miners and blasters, $11 for pipefitters, electricians and miners' helpers, and $10 for muckers. Every ten feet deeper they go means, normally, a -cent increase. At sixty feet, pressure is increased to twenty-seven pounds and they work two three-hour stretches broken by three hours of rest.

At seventy feet, thirty -three pounds is required and they work two two streches broken by four hours' rest. At eighty feet, with forty -eight pounds pressure required, sandhogs MARGIOTTI ASKS MURDER VERDICT Demands A Second Degree Finding In Case Against Trooper Gunderman JURY GETS CASE TODAY (By The Associated Press) Somerset, Feb. General Charles J. Margiotti demanded a second degree murder verdict against State Trooper Stacey Gunderman today "in order that in Pennsylvania we may no longer have the third degree." Supreme Court Justice George W. Maxey will give the case to the jury tomorrow, to decide the fate of the 25-year-old trooper charged with beating Frank C.

Monaghan to death in an attempt to force a confession to cutting a detective. Both Lawyers Weep Both Margiotti and Defense Attorney John Duggan, wept as they made their closing pleas over the liberty of curly-haired Gunderman. Duggan pleaded with the jury to free the suspended state trooper, insisting that Gunderman acted in self defense after Monaghan attacked him. Margiotti, in asking the verdict which would carry a penalty of ten to twenty years imprisonment, declared: "We say Monaghan (a 64-year-old Uniontown hotel keeper) was put to death inhumanely, barbarously by this defendant. relic of the dark ages, a slow, torturing death.

"We are say that the state will not tolerate the torture of its citizens by brutal and unscrupulous officers." He called Monaghan's death in the Fayette county detectives' bertillon room last Sept. upon society, upon the good name of Pennsylvania and upon the good name of the state police. No First Degree Evidence Margiotti asserted the "civil liberties of our citizens" were on trial. He climaxed his closing address to the jury of two women and ten men: "If have no reasonable doubt, I ask you to return a verdict of murder in the second degree." Justice Maxey had told the jury: "No evidence of first degree murder has been presented and I instruct you that you cannot return such a verdict." Gunderman listened calmly to the addresses of the attorneys which required the entire fifteenth day of his trial. Tears came to Duggan's eyes as he told the jurors: "This boy has carried his cross to Calvary.

Don't you be the ones to crucify him." Margiotti told them: "As our Lord himself was stripped and crucified unjustly to save mankind, so was Monaghan stripped and torturously, inhumanely and cowardly beaten to death. Monaghan was a human being. He may have made a serious mistake, but these officers had no right to act as the court, witnesses and jury and executioners."

BANQUET Associated Prees) ask for top pay. They can do down for only a half hour every seven or eight hours. The miners lead the attack. In the so-called "heading," two work side by side if it is a small sewer, or six or eight, if it is a vehicle tunnel. work forward in castiron shields, moved by hydraulic jacks, and "brace down" with timbers every two and a half feet.

At these intervals, iron rings are placed to hold up the tunnel. Muckers take away the sand and muck and miners' helpers cut timber and hand the miners tools and material. Blasters are called in when they hit rock. Two common causes of tunnel tragedies are improper "bracing down" or wrong signals or preparationg in blasting. There are exits from the compressed air interior of most tunnels--the man lock, the emergency lock and the lock.

On each job, a doctor has an emergency lock in an -office where he puts men suffering from the paralyzing malady called "bends." The only known cure is the cause- compressed air--which is gradually reduced in the doctor's lock when he has a patient. A sandhog is as particular about his food as a lumberjack. They insist on good black coffee as soon as they come up and they have ravenoug appetites.

"I've seen men drink down a dozen raw eggs in one gulp after coming out of the air," said Hendren. A sandhog must pass rigid physical tests and his career ends at the age of forty, under doctor's regulations. If his health down before then, Hendren, a teetotaler, breaks, thinks it's his own fault.

Cline, Of Gettysburg College NEW MEMBERS RECEIVED "Vagabonding in Europe" was the subject discussed before the York Rotary club yesterday noon by Dr. Thomas L. Cline, professor of English in Gettysburg college. He was substituting for President Henry W. A.

Hanson, of the same institution, who was ill at home. Dr. Cline is an experienced traveller, having frequently conducted educational parties through European countries. He described graphically and with touches of humor the general teristics of some of the dominant peoples. The French, he said, are not so much sentimentalists as they are realists.

The Englishman, with his monocle, walking stick and immaculate dress, is at heart a sentimentalist. The Swiss are complacent in their sense of complete security from attack. The Germans, although armed and ready to fight, are as fidgety as if they were sitting on a hot stove lid. The only reason that Germany does not start a war is that she is financially hard She has no credit abroad is in a state of economic insecurity. But Hitler is the ideal of all classes of Germans; they look upon him as their George Washington.

In closing his remarks the speaker dwelt upon the state of mind of the Russians who believe that the government should do everything for the individual, educate him, feed him, And a job for him, send him to college and relieve him of all responsibility for his welfare. There is a large group in this country spreading that sort of propaganda, he said. President Charles B. Wolf, in charge of the meeting, received William H. Kutch as a new member of the club.

The election of Francis Farquhar as an honorary member was also announced. Mr. Farquhar is a past president of the club. The following committee for the naming of new officers was announced: H. Smyser Bair, chairman; Fred G.

Dempwolf, Fred A. Hespenheide, Kenneth Reed and Wayne G. McFall. Alexander Orr, Miami, Florida, and Elmer E. Gabbard, Hazard, Kentucky, were visiting Rotarians.

Other guests were Rev. Walker, M. I. Crumrine, Dr. Louis S.

Weaver, C. S. Stitzel and Arthur Flinchbaugh, all of York. testimony of scores of state and defense witnesses, then attacked Gunderman's own testimony. He said the defendant had told "five different stories from the beginning to the end." He summed them up with: "Even if his stories are true he could be convicted of murder of second degree.

Even if his story is true he had no right to jump on him." Fossil plants have been called "thermometers of the past," because they show what ancient temperature conditions must have been to enable them to grow.
