ig always been the fashion. Every

In fame or fortune was to farts

A newspaper mjm once asked the late

whether there were as many oppor-

man. He said there were more, and

TAX RETURN EASY
An O'Donnell man says he worried
a good deal over making out hi§* in-
come tax return, but he finally hit
upon a simple formula, which he now
offers free of charge to any who may
be perplexed in the future.
He listed as dependents one blond
wife, a sedan car, three gold fish and

AUSTIN, May 15.—Registration of
the fifst 1,000,000 passenger vehicles
for 193(H occurred six weeks earlier
than last year, indicating that this
year's registrations will exceed the
1929 total of l,61?rrTby 10 per cent,
L. G. Phares, chief of the license and
weights division of the highway de-
partment, said Monday.
Increases in registration of all mo-
tor vehicles are being recorded with
the exception of motor basses, while
registration figures -for-that form of
vehicle show that approximately 1,500
will be registered this year against
4,342 in 1929. The new motor bus
law is given as the cause for the de-
crease. Little change is shown in the
registration of trucks, tractors, trail-
ers and motorcycles.

for catching cats. This leaflet may
