down on the board walks at Palm
Beach, Florida, the girls are prancing
around in bathing suits.
Motornen are being blamed for
chilly cars because they open doors
to get ventilation and fresh air into
the cars.
What'II you have foIks-coId cars
with fresh air or warm cars with rank
air? Not much choice. The right
combination is warm cars with fresh
air. ~ t-
And it is very much possible to
have that combination. Why can't
we?

But we hardly want to ruin the risk
of doing it in person.

CITIZENS OF THE UNITED STATES

ING INCOME TAX CHARGES
cHEERFuLLY AND WITH ALAG
RITY.
BY ASSOCIATED PRESS.

London. April 5.-American citi-
zens in London who came under the
scope of the new income tax law are
making their returns at the consulate
with cheerfuIlness and alacrity. The
returns are numerous but do not make
a great sum in aggregate. The in
comes of the very wealthy Americans
residing here are taed at the sources
so that the returns of these are made
on the other side. The heaviest in
come thus far reported at the consul
late is one of fifty thousand dollars.
The citizen who paid this declared
that the tax was a reasonable charge
for the privilege OF being an American
citizen.
This was the tone adopted by most
OF the makers of returns, and the
staff of the consulate, anticipating un-
willing and protesting citizens, were
agreeabiy surprised at their attitude.
A resident who paid without grum-
bling that the few prOtestants against
the new tax are Americans who have
taken root here, and who have cluug
to their American citizenship for
sentimental or business reasons. Some
Of these have been on the point Of be-
coming British subjects for some time
and the imposition of the income tax
may hasten their decision.
