taxable income under the volunteer

there is not to exceed S85. 900 collected.
Under the paid system the taxes must

OF course under this new system of fire

would be trife less, making q prob

That would reduce $500 to about $500.

Miss Ruth Winterbotham gave .
most delightful and instructive talk on
pottery and porcelain before the Ell
Paeo Woman's club yesterday after.
noon. Being herself . practical potter
she is remarkably we'll versed In the
art, having studied for . number of
years In the potteries of New York and
Englsnd. Misc Winterbotham pre-
faced her talk by reading Longfellow's
"Song Of the Potters" in . voice WON
derfully sweet and magnetic.
She had several pieces of rare
pottery which she used O.
examples, of the various celebrated
potteries of the world. In speaking of
the advance of American pottery, Miss
Winterbotham said, that At the Phila-
delphia Centennial our exhibit COM
pared 20 miserably with those Of the
other countries that the American
people determined to "do or die" and
they didn't die. As the result our ex-
hibit compared most favorably with
any At the Worlds Fair and now the
work done in the American potteries,
most notable of which 10 the ono in
Cincinnati, 10 equal to that found in
even the most celebrated foreign pot
tories. The women of the club hope
very much that Miss Wiuterbothem
will give them smother talk on model.
