Nov. 30.—Although ( the sales tax schedule on pur ' chases of less than one dollar is generally known by almost every one now, it does not seem to be • ' known that a person does not | | have to pay more than the 3 cents tax on purchases up to $1.16. it was pointed out today | by Commissioner of Revenue A. I.J. Maxwell and Director Harry McMullan of the sales tax divi sion. For the sales tax regula tions specify that a customer does not have to pay an additional 1 cent tax on fractional parts of a dollar where the total amount is| in excess of -SI.05, until the ma-j jor fraction is passed. Thus while a purchaser must pay a tax of 3 cents on purchasesl j between 71 cents and $1.05, it is not necessary to add another cent' of sales tax until the amount of the purchase exceeds $1.16, it was r ed out. Some merchants are Jrted as adding an extra cer of sales tax as soon as the totul passes $1.05, thus making | the tax 1 cents on total pur-i iehases in excess of that amount, j j Hut this should not be the case, i McMullan and Maxwell explain, since the customer has a minor fraction of 12 ccr.ts in his or her favor, with the result that a tax of 4 cents cannot he added until the total amount of the purchase amounts to $1.17. Thus the sab tax schedule on purchases in ex cess of $1 is as follows: From 71 cents to $1.16, the sales tax is 3 cents. From $1.17 to $1.41>, the tax is 4 cents. From $1.50 to $1.83 the tax is 5 cents. I From $1.84 to $2.16 the tax is, 6- cents. From $2.17 to $2.49 the tax is 7 cents. From $2.50 to $2.83 the tax is S cents. From $2.84 to $3.16 the tax is D cents, and so forth, in the same* progression. It was also pointd out again that the sale tax is cumulative on sales made in the same trading period, even though they may be made in dif ferent departments of the same store, as long as the customer does not leave the store between purchases. 1600 Blankets Are Bought By State The Times-News Buro.-iti Sir Walter Hole! RALEIGH. Nov. 30.—Contract for some 1.600 blankets for the State Hospital for the Insane at Morgan ton was awarded by the division of purchase and contract here today following the opening of bids yesterday. Contracts, on four carloads of nails, largr quan tities of disinfectant for the pris on camps and state institutions, and other articles were also awarded. Although blankets are used in all the state institutions, the vari ous hospitals for the insane use n ore than any others because in sane patients pick them to pieces with their fingers by the hundreds, aecoraing to director A. s. urow er of the division. Each of the larger state hospitals use about 1.000 blankets a year, while the hospital at Morganton has had a total of about 5,000 blankets this year, including the 1,G00 purchas ed today, Brower said. In July a id August the division purchas ed about 11.000 blankets for the state institutions and prison ramps, thinking this quantity would be sufficient. But it was not. So bids were called for on 'this additional 1,000 for the Mor ganton hospital. Most of the blankets purchased for the state hospitals for the in sane are cheap cotton blankets .costing from $1.05 to $1.25 each, .since these are about the cheap est blankets that can be purchas ed, also because they can be laundered to better advantage. $2 BILL. 95 YHARS OLD MONTREAL—(UP).—A 95 year-old $2 bill, believed to be the oldest in existence in Canada, was found between the leaves of an old book bought in a second hand store here by A.

In the second Seneca got to tht Cat 28-yard line, but two passe failed and the ball went over on the Hendersonville 33-yard line, where a drive was started that carried to the visitors' 15 as the half ended. In the third period after Hen dersonville kicked off and the teams exchanged punts, the Cats aot inside Seneca's 30-yard line, • *'t the drive was stopped and Johnson punted over the goal line. Byers made a first down on a lateral pass, but on second down Gessef Intercepted a pass on the visitors 35-yard line. Miller and Johnson made a first down on Seneca's 22 in three tries and the period ended. Johnson lost two yards and two passes were batted down. The ball went over after a five-yard penalty for two incomplete passes on the visitors' 29-yard line. By ers failed to gain and then Gesser intercepted a pass to run for a touchdown. Edney took a pass for the extra point, but it was ruled incomplete as another Her deisonville player also touched the ball. The visitors received the kick off and returned it to midfield. A fumble cost the visitors six yards, but Byers took a pass for nine yards and Edney interfered with a pass receiver to give the visitors a first down. Mixing a passing and driving attack the visitors got to the 11-yard line, but the Cats held for three downs and batted down a pass to get the ball on their own ine-yard line. Miller plunged off tackle for 21 yards, but the Cats were offside and went back to their four-yard line. Parker got two and Tvliller six. and Johnson got off a nice kick that went out of bounds on the Cats' own 45. The visitor" worked two passes for five yards but two were grounded and the ball went over. After one play the same ended. The line-ups: H' ville Por.

It wavered gently, as he curtain? at the open window j Dlew inward: then settled across | :he ridge of Bannister's nose. The sleeping man wrinkled his! face into a grimace. The sunshine I persisted. Bannister emitted a j sound between a grunt and a grum- j ble. turned on his side. For a mo ment he lay peacefully, but the movement had aroused him. His eyes opened—two narrow slits and he frowned at the light. Then the eyes opened wider. Bannister looked about him. bewildered. He was not. as he had been dreaming, in a subterranean oav ! crn. Adele Allen was not beside j him. wearing a green costume. 1 Brandishing a revolver and threat j ening to shoot him if he did not ! help her escape from the giant | canary bird pursuing her. The rest of the horrid vision faded and Ban nister was tremendously relieved. ! He was not a murderer or accused of murder. Melvina Hollister was i not there, nor a jaunty vaudeville singer who said his name was Gainey— Bannister sat up with a start. The thought of Gainey brought the ! events of the preceding day before him clearly. No wonder he had dreamed of murder and murderers! In his imaginings the figure of i Gainey. the Post reporter, -had merged into that of Tracy King, j ihe orchestra leader. But it was King who had been murdered. 1 Bannister remembered that, lie remembered the brownish staiu on the carpet of the hotel bedroom. He remembered, too, that he had promised Jim Paxton to work on the murder story for the Post. Bannister pulled his wrist watch toward him and saw that it was nearly 8:30. A fine hour to be waking! Gainey had been on the job for at least half an hour. Prob ably longer. Yes, a fine hour it was to be getting up and a fine ' lot cf help he. David Bannister, was to the Post. Ho stood up. realizing that he was tired. Too much running around yesterday. He wasn't used to it. The whole idea was a pack of nouseuse But by the time he had finished his shower David Bannister's spirits were rising. He could j hardly wait to see the morning; newspaper to find out if any new J developments in the murder had j been reported. Newspaper training | reasserted itself and lie was eager to know if the morning paper, the i opposition, had scored a beat of ' any sort. 1 He came downstairs whistling, erossed the dining room and ap records of mortgages and deed of trust for Hendersonr county, North Carolina, default having been made in payment of the in debtedness thereby secured whei by the power of sale container in I said instrument has become op erative, we will, on the 11th day i of December, 1933, at 12 o clock, noon at the courthouses door ot Henderson county, North Caro lina in the City of Henderson Iville, offer for sale by public au ction to the highest bidder for leash, the following described land, to-wit: Situate in Hendersonville town ship, County of Henderson, State of North Carolina, particularly described as follows: Beginning at a stake which stands north 68 degrees 45 min utes east 70 feet from the intel section of the east margin of east I Pine street and north margin of Give your car a vacation these cold mornings—ride with us.

"Morniug, Aunt Kate!" m m m tTIS aunt looked up, then went on removing golden brown slices of French toast from a smok ing skillet. "Morning," she said crisply. "Go on into the dining room. David. Breakfast'll be on! the table in a second." Bannister located the newspaper on the living room table and opened out the pages. There was plenty about the King murJer, but there was nothing that Bannister did not know. It gave him a feel ing of relief. He was glad to know nothing important had happened while he was asleep. Headlines told of the search for "another sus pect" whose name was not given. Drugan's story was credited to a close friend of the dead man," also anonymous. Apparently no one on the rival newspaper had heard of Matthew and Melvina Hollister'g connection with the case. At least it was not mentioned. There was nothing new in the ; columns about the murder but still Bannister read them eagerly. Half way through the story of the new suspect, he was interrupted. "David!" It was his aunt calling and Aunt Kate would brook no delay at meal ' time. "Coming!" Bannister auswered. An instant later he appeared in the dining room, the newspaper in his hand. The odor of fried ham and coffee and the French toast won him from his preoccupation, however. "Aunt Kate," he began, "there's not another cook like you in the whole country!" She stopped him with a glance. "Never mind the flattery," she said. "Maybe you've something to say. David Bannister, about what you were doing all day yesterday. Lighting out after breakfast and not showing up again until mid night! I thought it was rest you came to Treinont for!" While she had been talking she was pouring the coffee. Now she handed him a cup. • * m JJANNISTER grinned. He didn't mind being addressed as though he were a 14-year-old. 't was like old times. "Important business," he told her. "I've got a job." "A what?" "I've got a job. A respectable one. Newspaper reporter. I'm working ou The Post." Kate Hewlett waited. "Well?" she asked when he did not con tinue. "That'? all there is to it. Jim Paxton offered me a job on The Post and I took it. I'm working on this murder case." The elevation of Mrs. Hewlett's eyebrows was expressive. "So that's it," she said. "You couldn't keep out of it! Something dis graceful and—and criminal hap pens, like a murder, and you couldn't keep out of it. 1 don't ap prove of this. David. I don't ap prove of it at all!" But she didn't mean that. There was no disapproval in her voice and none in her eager eyes as she asked a moment later. "David— who do they think did it?" "Oh, I don't know. It's hard to say now." Mrs. Hewlett frowned. "I don't mean this man they've got locked in jail," she persisted, "or the other one they're looking for." (Bunnister noted she had missed none of the details of the morning newspaper account.)
