OLINE TAX EBATE CLAUSE UNDER ATTACK

tate Adopts New Blank, Hopes to Still Demand for Repeal.

Agitation to repeal that section of the gasoline tax law providing Ir refunds for fuel not used in

serious proportions that drastic FH are being taken by the state administration in _conjunction with the Indiana Farm Bureau to preserve the section for the benefit of state farmers, Laurence Sullivan, state auditor, said today.

Repeal agitation has been aroused over abuses from some sources in this provision of the law, the auditor stated. As a result, a Sullivan added, his office has taken steps to prevent fraudulent 8s and has adopted a new form of application “for refunds. “We want every person to receive in refunds the amodnt to which he is entitled, but for the protection of the farmers themselves, it is the duty of this department to see that fraudulent claims are not paid, ” he

{ Recoras show that refunds for 11035 totaled $1,322,779, an increase of $241,266 over the 1934 figures. The number ‘of claims increased 22,553 year over 1934. Total claims _ last , year were 185,894,

a Fraudulent Claims Small

A total of - 503,454,808 gallons of ‘gasoline was purchased in Indiana in 1935, compared with 460,079,545 ‘gallons in 1934! - Mr. Sullivan said that the number of fraudulent claims filed is _ relatively small, and that only four persons have been charged -with ~ violations by the department. In ‘each case, he said, a plea of guilty was entered. . “The gasoline tax law was established for the purpose of building and maintaining highways, and for “nao other purpose,” Mr. Sullivan stated. “Therefore the law provides - that those who use gasoline in tractors, stoves or for stationary engines, or for any other purpose except in motor vehicles which use state highways, are entitled to refunds of the tax paid.”

BEGIN HERE TODAY ' Gail Everett, winner of a prize for costume design offered by a large silk manufacturing company, comes to -New York to find work. She is hired—due to a stroke of luck—by Madame Lizette, proprietor of an exclusive shop. Madame proves temperamental and difficult to -work for. / Derek Hargreaves, young artist, is interested in Gail, and offers her friendly advice. Prequently Gall sees Dick Searles, whose sister was her roommate at school. She also becomes acquainted with Natalie Preston who, under s mask of friendliness, makes shrewd plans to advance her own interests. NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY

CHAPTER VIII AT MURPHY, the porter, glanced at the time clock and then at Gail. “Good morning, Miss,” he said. “Sure, every one’s early this morning.” “Good morning, Pat.

like another fine day.” “Maybe thal’s why every one’s so early. It’s the Madame herself that came in half an hour ago, and, God forgive me, but there's fire in her eyes.” The porter winked expressively. “Then I must fly!” “Sure, ‘tis well to make your feet your friends, Miss, this morning.” There was no laughter in the cloakroom when Gail pushed the door open. Whispered speculation over the reason for Madame’s early appearance and sullen brows greeted Gail's entrance, while shoes were kicked off, faces bgautified and coats hung on hangers. ” ” ” HY’S: everybody so upset this morning?” Gail asked Clytie. “Oh, Madame’s in a furious temper, and no one knows yet who'll get the benefit of it.” Gail logked at Clytie—amber eyes wide with amazement. The mannequin shrugged her shoulders. “Don’t logk so scared. She won’t eat you.” “No,” piped up -Ariadne, “but she may make you feel less than the dust if she wants to . and it won't be just a private affair. She'll choose a moment when she’s sure of an audience. Oh, well, life would be rather dull here without a blast from Madame once in a while. I wonder what’s set her off this time.” “I saw her with a telegram. Maybe it was from Rex.” “Oh, is he still in Arizona?” “I guess so,” answered Clytie. *I don’t see why she should worry about him—sitting pretty as confidential man on the job for the Travers Mining and Developing Co.” “Say, he must have a good thing. Does he ever come here?” questioned Ariadne, who had only recently come to the shop. “Once in a blue moon; but don’t think it will make any difference to you. Madame’s the one Wh ) chooses his‘girl friends!” st 8 FCKING up her handbag, Gail left the room. If Madame was on the warpath and her ‘ill temper directéd at Gail herelf the girl wanted to know it and have it done with. But as she walked along the

It looks

peaceful. Perhaps, after all, the girls were wrong. Maybe Madame — but her thoughts ended swiftly as the other door of the designing room opened and her employer appeared on the threshold. “Goed morning,” said Gail quietly. Madame Lizette ignored the greeting, as she flounced into the room. “Mrs. Travers is coming in this forenoon with her daughter,” she said, “and I want you to get a frock ready for her immediately. Have Ariadne come here at once. This is the material.” She pointed to a bolt of sheer, silky organdie in a delectable shade of blue. “Yes, Madame,” answered Gail, questioning whether she should stay in the room or race back along the passage and call Ariadne, for there

HIS is the style she wants,” Madame said and Gail felt her spirits rise as she one of the sketches on which she had worked the day before. “When you have it draped on the mannequin, let me know. Mrs. Travers had one or two suggestions that will make it stil Imore effective.” “Very well, Madame,” Gail answered, a prayer of thankfulness rising in her heart as she watched her go. Toinette and Selma entered the room a moment later. “Oh, Toinette,” Gail said. “I wonder # you would find Ariadne and ask her to come here at once. She was in the dressing room a few moments ago. I thing youll find her there still.” “All right, Miss Everett.” The wiry little Frenchwoman hurriedly departed. “You're going to drape that on her?” questioned Selma “Yes, Madame has a customer coming this forenoon, so we’ll have to hustle.” * ” ” s ELL, we haven’t much else to do today,” remarked Selma, glancing around the room. She crossed to a rack and quickly checked over some partly finished garments that were hanging there. “That's good, for I understand this dress is for one of Madame’s special customers.” Selma laughed. “Oh, Miss Everett, they're all special customers according to the Madame! She likes to make us think they're important. As if it would make any difference in the work we put on the dresses. That cuts no ice with me any more. I've heard it too often.” “You've been here quite a long time then?” asked Gail. “Long enough to see a few designers come and go.” “Then you must like it here.”

ELMA shrugged her heavy shoulders. “It’s better than being in a wholesale house . . . not so many people. Maybe it’s worse tdo, for Madame can make ——” she laughed. “You know what 1 mean! But there, such is life.” She held out her hands expressive-

ly. “Well, happy. ” . “And why not? Toinette, Frank and I have worked for a long time together. We're friends. So long as we're together everything is all right.” “That's fine,” commented Galil, as Ariadne sauntered in. “What do you want, Miss Everett?” she asked, tossing the butt of her cigaret on the floor and crushing -it with her high-heeled shoe. “I want to drape this material on you. If you'll please come over here, I'll start at once.” “Then I suppose I'll have to take this off.” Ariadne unbuttoned the flame-colored smock she was wear-

For the next half hour hardly :

a word was spoken, though the sharp snip, snip of shears cutting through the organdie and an occasional little cry from the model as Gail, in her enthuiasm, stuck a pin a little farther in than the thin satin slip Ariadne was wearing, revealed the progress of the work. At last Gail exclaimed. “There! Take a look at yourself in the mirror. How do you like it?” “Not bad—but don’t you think the ribbons might be changed a

As she lifted the receiver, the door

on the right .opened.

» ” 2 HE dress is ready—yes? Why did you not send for me at once as I tell you?” Before Gail could answer, Madame Lizette had reached Ariadne, and, with a plump

little hand on the girl's shoulder, turned her around as though she|-

were a dummy. Then she shrugged her shoulderes. “Have Selma and Toinette help you tack it up right away so we can show it to Mees Travers. There won’t be time to finish—all she wants today is to see the effect. You understand?” Without another word Madame tripped away on her tiny feet which looked so out of keeping with her sturdy legs, broad peasant hips and generous curves. “So!” exclaimed Triadne. “What does it mean?” She glanced at Gail with Quizzieal eyes.

oT Toinete, id quick as a.

flash, cried, “It means that Madame is pleased—that she can find no fault. Yes, Then, hurrying toward Gail, she said, “Can I help you, Miss Everett?” Already Gail was unpinning the frock at the shoulder and ofie side so that she could remove it from the model. “Thank you, Toinette! I think we've got them all out.” Together they slipped the fragile creation over Ariadne’s head. “Gee, am 1 glad to sit down!” exclaimed the mannequin as she pulled on her smock, and kicked off her shoes. “How my. feet ache! Gosh, I hate the thought of summer.” “Why don’t you wear shoés that fit you?” asked Frank. “Don’t you know lower heels are in style now?” “Hush up, will you and attend to your pressing! Who asked for your opinion anyway?” Ariadne languidly drew a pack of cigarets from her pocket.

” ” ” RANK curled his glossy mustache, and smiled at the girl. Then he shook his head. Such girls! They are hopeless! At 11:30 Lita came hurrying into the room. “Is that organdie dress ready?’ she asked. “Miss Travers is in the showroom and Madame bk it at once. Quick, where it “Hold your horses, Lita,” replied Frank, removing the dress from the pressing machine and slipping it on a hanger, while Toinette with quick, eager hands, straightened the flounces. “Now you may take it,” said Gail, i a oekine thread from the ront Noon cande and the others hurried from the room. Gail straightened her desk and, picking up her gloves and handbook, started across the room. Suddenly the door opened and Lita called, “You're to go into ett” showroom wh once, Miss Evere ”
