Lamar, Colo. Bryan Untied;, who professes to be just an ordinary sort; of "guy." had a birthday Sunday. It i was Easter, too. but that was second ary. Bryan, who is thirteen years old, lay in a hospital bed and grin ned, a little self-consciously, and suf fered sundry persons to surge thru his room and make endless remarks about heroism and stuff like that. It ! was. undoubtedly, the busiest birth day that Bryan ever spent. It wan j busier than any day since that one i week before last when he sat in a j snow bound school bus near Town-! er. Colo., watching over a brood of i near hysterical youngsters, while death crept on them for thirty-six j hours. Bryan was the hero of that tragedy, so those who know about it insist, because he managed to keen his head as the cold claimed five of j his companions. He was left in charge of the bus when the' driver went off to get help, and Bryan assumed com- j mand stalwartly, knowing his task was grim. Then help came, almost Dorothy Moore. Joan Swan, I too late to save the survivors, and! Bryan Untiedt came to the hospital bare for treatment. He has been invited to visit Presi dent Hoover and the oldsters look on him with moist eyes and make ab tract comparison with Lindbergh and other hemes.

The subtle fragrance of the morning coffee adds zest to the morning air, advance no tice of the joy to corr.c as you give the "cup test" to the coffee blend of your choice. Coffee roasting is important, of course, but the mos: skillful roaster cannot make a popular coffee from just one type of coffee bean. The coffee connoisseur would not deign to drink coffee made from a sin gle type of bean. Neither should the thoughtful motorist allow an un blended gasoline to go into his fuel tank. Gasoline must be blended if it is to possess all the vital properties con tained in the three types of gasoline. . . the best Gasoline Blended CONOCO Gasoline is blended, just as car?fully as the finest coffee. In CONOCO blended gasoline you'll find: Natural Gasolin?, for qitkk Jarting;StT2?,l-Tun Gasoline, for poucr and long mihage; Cracked Gaiolinc, for its anti-knock qualities. Motorists arc fast learning that this is so.

Senator Bingham's proposal that federal taxes be increased, especially hy reaching hundreds of thousands of "little fel lows" now exempt from paying, stir red up a storm of opposition Sunday. The Connecticut senator, who is a member of the senatcfi nance com mittee, was revealed to be far out of step with the views of Senator Wat son ot Indiana, and other administra tiou leaders, who are against any in crease in taxation at the coming ses sion of congress. Their view is that the treasury de ficit should he covered by borrowing. With a return of normal business ithe present tax scerule will suffice t h y believe. In epposing loans in peacetime to meet treasury deficits and insisting that they be met by increased tax ation. Bingham was in agreement jwith Senator Borah ( R. , Idaho. But in his proposal that present 'day exemptions en small income- he j removed and that some of the war time nuisance taxes be restored, Bingham ran afoul the progressive group in congress. Bingham's suggestion that if mil lions were forced to pay taxes, there would be stronger pressure upon con gress to cut down appropriations and legislate economically. Such progressives as Senator La Eollette ( R. ) , Wisconsin, however, take the view that taxes should he levied according to the ability to pay and ther view was that persons of large incomes should pay more and the "little fellows" be exempted, as under the present tax law. Senator Norris of Nebraska, a lead er cf .the independent wing of the republican party, said he did not a$rree with Bingham's "methods of j taxation. I am not opposes io an in crease in taxes if there's going to he a deficit, but the increase should be applied on inheri tances taxes and on larger in comes," he said, adding: "I am opposed to issuance of bonds. I don't want to increase taxes on the smaller incomes, nor do I want to cut down the exemptions as Senator Bingham proposes." Republican leaders are loath to! increase taxes next year, upon the1 eve of the national cilections, be- j cause or tne unravoraDie enect u would have upon the voters. y The Treasury department can bor row money now at unusually low in terest rates and administration lead ers hold it would be wiser to follow this course than boost tax rates, which would have a depressing effect upon the business recovery.
