 and as Colonel Roosevelt appeared there was burst of handclapping.
 Tt was a very pleasant social visit,", said Colonel Roosevelt after it was over.
 On his arrival in Washington Cofonel Roosevelt went first to the Smithsonian institute. 1t was his first glimpse of the game he shot in Africa since it was mounted. AS he entered the building he caught sight of huge rhinocerous in a glass case.
 'T shot him." he exclaimed. Tt was rather close call, too Kermit said, Wait a minute. dad till l take his picture. The rhino rushed at us, head down. I've got to shoot I protested. But Kermit got his picture and then I got the rhino. ,"
 For an hour the colonel wandered through the museum. There was sup posed to be a reception committee, but 1t was lost in the crowd, and the colonel found the way himself, pausing from time to time to explain the fine points of specimens to those who, happened to be nearest to him, and rattling out scientific words which one understood.
 From the museum Colonel Roosevelt went to the home of Senator Lodge for a talk with, the senator and the British, French and Spanish ambassadors Then he attended a dinner given by President G. H. Crosvenor of the National Geo graphical society. The lecture came next with the conference with progressive con gressmen the last thing on the programme before his departure for New York at midnight.

son and several others being on the recep- tion committee. The visitors to the com meneement all were present and there were many more from various sections of the state and the city.
 Among the ladies from Birmingham who attended were Mrs. w. P. McAdory Mrs. l. T. Doster Mrs. w. M Black welder and many others.
 "The Piper" presented by the senior class last night. could be well called a sequel of the Pied Piper of Hamlin :" The play deals with the manner in which the piper brough back the children to Hamlin after ridding the ancient city of the plague of rodents The play was written by Josephine Preston Peabody and Is 8 fantasy something on the order of Peter Pan.' It has something of romance and mysticism in it and was well portrayed last night. The play was more beautiful and serious and possessed more literary merit than any undertaken by senior class at Howard for several years past and there was much favor able comment.
 The principal part was that of the Piper and Bunyan Davfe. Jr.. excelently portrayed this role. Practically every other part in the play was of a minor nature. except possibly that Of the mother of " the little lame boy" who was left behind when the Piper lured the children of the town from their homes Miss Lorene Lawley enacted this role, which gave ample room for dis play of real histrionic ability. She had only one scene in which to show her ability and she occupied the center of attention the entire time Miss Lawley g part called for the display of the moth CTS grief at the loss of her son and she did it realistically
 Miss Mada1ene Keene was another of the laGtes deserving of especial mention, playing the role Of "Barbara." She fur nshed the element of romance and was the heroine of the play, if such there was.
 There were. something like 25 children In the play and the scenes in whieh the children were used were very beautiful. Little William Prescott as Jan" the little lame boy. ands Ellen Shelburne as "Isle" were the only children having speaking parts. the others being. merely lav figures. The, attendance was large.
 This morning at 10:30 the graduating exercises will be held. diplomas being distributed by Dr. !. NJ. Shelburne to IS graduates Dr. W. O. Carver Of Louis vile, Ky. Is the orator of the day. G. w. Bouldin will speak for the senior class.

when things are breaking against
him.
Buck Weaver is generally rated the
fielding star of the South Side COM
bination. And he is also fairly i'm
portant member of the crew when
it comes to batting. But Buck is liable
to find difficulty busting back into
the game.
When he was forced out by sick
ness Berger had to take up the duties
around shortstop, and there were
fears expressed as to Joe's abaility to
take care of the position. But that is
Berger's regular life. He never was
a second baseman until Rath was
dropped by the Sox last season.
The team has not suffered through
Berger's work. He can field and
throw anything he gets his hands on.
And he has batted better than was
expected. His two hits yesterday fig
ured in the scoring. His single last
Friday won the 13-inning fight with
the Browns.
Bucks only chance is for the Sox
to run into bad losing streak. Cal
lahan, like all managers, has super
= stitious streak, and will not care to
break up a winning combination by
dragging Berger out.
Jack Fournier is proving the claims
made for him in the past, He never
was a great batter. But his boosters
pointed to the fact that he has bat
ted strongly in every league he played
in, and declared he would do the
same here is given regular duty.
Jack was put at first base and had
his chance. And he has made good
with vengeance. Even if Chase
came back, he would not be able to
displace Fournier at present. Hal

blindness Of Virtue

As new play entitled The Blindness
Of Virtue,'' BY the English novelist and
playwright. Cosnno Hamilton, will be
presented by William Morris at the
Dickinson opera house. Thursday.
February 10Th. The play had q leng
run in London and has been acted forr
~protracted periods in all the large cities
In the east. II is now in its second
season in this country.
Il is said that in his exceedingly
interesting play Mr.. Hamilton has
drawn English characters that are even
to American audiences delightful. that
he has shown consumate skill in the
d%elineation Of q pure. sweet, innocent
17~-year-old girl. daughter of a broad
minded, bie-hearted vicar. This young
girl is so absolutely untramelled by
conventions. has lived a life so utterly
enveloped by refining influences. so
unsullied by contact with the outer
world, that when love comes to her she
responds to it as does the dainty flowers
to the warmth of the spring SUM-. She
loves the young man who is being
tutored by her father and frankly adj
mits it. Her childish innocence makes
that love beautiful and its naive ex-
preston as lovely as the caress of a
babe in. it mother 8 arms
= The. purpose of MIR. Hamilton's story
is to show that in this pure girl, who
has had no knowledge Of the outer
world. that her .greatest danger lies in
her perfect innocence. BY contrast he
introduces another girl. reared in a
different environment, who might have
been like her had she been instructed
iii the truths of certain impulses that
spring into life with womanhood. A
far more powerful object lesson is Given
by Mr.. Hamilton in his splendid de-
piction of the development of latent
manhood in the lad. ''7

Notice in Regard to Income Tau,

To All Concerned:
I desire to call the attention of every
person liable to the Federal Income Tax
to the necessity of making a sworn
statement of his or her income to the
Collector of Internal Revenue on or be.
fore the list day of March, 1914. This
is a liability that attaches to every
person, man or woman, citizens Of the
United States or alien residents of the
country. with q net income of 81, 500
or more for the last ten months of the
year ended December 81, 1918, and
what is more. it is a liability that at
taches under severe penalties for re-
fusalSt to comply with the law by making
such a report. No person is required
to make this report unless their net in
come for the last ten months of the
year. 1918, was So, 500 or more.
The Forms for return are now avail
able for distribution and will be sent
to all who apply for them. A supply
OF these blanks will also be sent to
banks for distribution to their patrons
on request. It will not do for q per
son with a..taxable income to wait un-
gil an invitation is extended BY this
office before taking steps to obey the
law by obtaining blank form and pre-
parine the required report. These per-
sons with taxable incomes who neglect
this responsibility will subject them
selves to the penalties OF the law, and
it will not be in order for them subse-
quently to, plead that they were not
asked to file return.
My deputies will carefully canvas the
districts under my jurisdiction. They
will keep up the canvas even after the
1st Of March. 1914, and they will have
ample authority to get the information
they seek. These taxable persons So
Gated after that date will have failed,
% obey the law, and will be liable to
its penalties. Let me. mention these
penalties for the information of the
public The penalty for failure TO.

specified by law 10 from $40 to ST. 900.

quest the CO operation of::the public and
l have called attention to the penalties
provided BY the law not because ! ex-
pect attempt to evade the statute but
that all may understand their duty and
liability. Z
Let me emphasize that neglect or re-
fusal to file q return will be penalized.
In other words the law puts the respon-
sibility up to the individual and the
Government will hold the individual to
account. While no returns will BE re-
quired Of q person with net income Of
less than 81, 500 from March 1st, 1913,
to December 81. 1918. inclusive, still
that person should be sure Of this right
of exemption and deduction in de-
termining what is net income. In
brief it is better to seek information
from this Office than to run the risk of
violating the law. Any individual
will be instructed as to his or her rights
and should seek instruction either in
person or by letter.
Corporations must also have their re-
ports for the calendar year beginning
January /, 1918. and ending December
81, 1918, in the hands Of the collector
on or before March 1, 1914. Under the
new law corporations are allowed, to
designate the end Of any month in the
year as the end of their fiscal year for
which to make reports. by giving the
collector notice thirty days prior to the
end of the month they wish to desig-
nate as the end of their fiscal year. but
for 1918 corporation reports must be
made for the calendar year beginning
January 1 and ending December 81.
1913.
It is hoped that a Thorough canvas
Of this district after the LIST Of; March
will fail to disclose any who have not
complied with the requirements of the
law.
Respectfully.
