* VIENNA. Aug. 12. (/P)— Political
circles are taking cognizance of the
Austrian Chancellor’s visit to Italy

ean powers against what the Aus-1
trian government characterized as j
German interference through
broadcasts, with Austrian internal

* OP PUBLIC INTEREST
Commissioner of Internal Rev
enue Guy T. Helverling stated to
day that the Bureau has been ad
vised that some bakers, propric'-j
ors of hotel^hpd restaurants, and •
others who use Bout in the produc
tion of an article or product made
wholly or chiefly from wheat, re
gard the flour which they held July
9, 1933, as retail stocks which, if
sold or disposed of within thirty
days thereafter, are not subject to
the ttjx on floor stocks under the
Agricultural Adjustment Act. The
Bureau desires to make it clear
that the flour so held does not con
stitute separate retail stocks sub
ject to the thirty-day provision of
the law for the reason that the
persons so holding the flour do not i
sell or intend to sell the flour at!
retail. The Act imposes taxes on
all articles processed wholly on
fn chief value from wheat, which
are held for sale or other dispos
ition on July 9, 1933, except cer
tain retail stocks, as to which the
tax attaches only If not sold or
otherwise disposed of within thirty
days after the date named. The
words “sale or other disposition”
are defined in Regulations 82 re
lating to floor stocks, also in In
struction printed on the back of
the inventory and return forms.
In part, the definition within the
meaning of the Act if held by any
person other than an ultimate con
sumer for processing or use in
manufacture or production of
other articles or products which
are to be sold (or to be served to
guests or patrons) Is held for
“other disposition” within the
meaning of the Act, and is there
fore taxable. Such stocks required
to he made to the Collector of In
ternal Revenue for the district.
It is only such articles.us are held
in separate, retail stocks to be sold
to the ultimate consumer, and
which are disposed of within the
thirty-day‘ period, that are not
taxable

and economical way to accomplish
this end. It is the most universal

“BUT HE IS A DREAMER—”
Of one who steps aside from the
beaten path, it is often said, “But
he is visionary, he is a d«reamer.“
The remark Is usually intended
as a rebuke. But, really, is it so
bad to be a dreamer?
Christopher Columbus 441 years
ago dreamed of a shorter route to
India, that land of gold and spices
and riches, of romance and mys
tery.
For years he visited persons of
wealth In Genoa, Venice and Lis
bon and sought aid for his west
voyage to the Far East without
success. Finally Queen Isabella
sold her jewels and provided the
funds. The result was the dis
covery of America.
WRh the present development
and opportunities of the New
World,, shall we say that this Ital
ian adventurer dreamed in vain?
The impression whi-ch Nome
makes on the visitor comes from
those things which meet his eye.
Clean streets, sidewalks and alleys
and neat store fronts are unron
'sciously taken into account.

I Unable to obtain any exact de

obtained from lode mines Stop The
