INCOME TAX COMPLEXITIES

To the average man, the making of
a full and fair return of an income,
and the writing Of a law, covering
the various classes of income, seems
fairly simple. But the putting into
effect OF the new statute has disclos-
ed a multitude of irritating complex
tiles that had not been thought out
in advance. No doubt the law will
be amended and simplifed.
One of the more serious difficulties
is the question how profits and losses
in stocks and bonds should be treat
ed. Many railroad and other stock
holders saw the market valuation OF
their certificates shrink almost half
during the year 1918. Are they en-
titled to deduct from their income
this shrinkage? Or must they wait
until they actually sell such stockg
1t has been stated by some author.

To teach young girls their respon-
sibility toward their home, friends
and children, and to show them that
good work must be done with good
tools, and that the body Is the tool
Of the mind and the spirit is the
task set for herself by Mrs Anna N.
Noble, lecturer on sex hygiene whose
addresses on that subject to public
school children have been fostered
by local club women.
Mrs. Noble has outlined a precti-
cal course OF instruction leading up
to the truths she teaches in the fol-
lowing article:
"The ideal home is the biggest con-
tribution a woman can make to her
state. To teach girls the art of
home making combined with the art
Of parenthood and sex education is
my aim. At the time that girls are
forming their standards Of social life
the subject can best be presented;
hence l choose high school pupils.
The great trouble with our society
is the lack Of proper home training.

THE LAWS DELAYS

Representatives Of the American
Bar Association, including ex.Presi
dent Taft, Judge Alton 3. Parker
Senator Root, and others have been
asking Congress for simplification OF
court procedure. Conscientious law.
yers everywhere will assent.
The lawyers have their big share
OF responsibility for existing condi.
tons. But often the trouble lies also
in laws made by the legislatures c.
A. Smart, district court Judge of
Kansas, told in the Outlook sometime
ago the story Of a murder case in
that state. Defendant was sentenced
six months after arrest. But the law
gave him two years for appeal and
final action was not taken until one
year after that, 80 the case was kept
hanging three years.
Judge Smart made the point that
criminal lawyers, So many Of whom
are elected to state legislatures. ARE
often unfriendly to greater legal ex.
pedition. They quietly secure the
passage of statutes that tend toward
delay.
1t would seem that the courts are
too liberal to lawyers in giving time
TO prepare cases. The bulk of legal
work drifts into the Offices Of popu
lar lawyers. They take on more work
than they can do.
When cases are called, they find
themselves ill-prepared. They secure
continuances for more time for pre-
paration. This often results in great
injustice to poor clients or others
who are suffering by delay. Law,
yers ought not to be allowed to keep
cases hung up so long, while they
complete work they should have turn
ed over to other Offices.
In the year 1911, there were l4s
murders In New York City. and but
10 convictions were ever secured. In
London during the same year big
ger city, there were 20 murders and
IL convictions. The probability Of
escape revealed by these eloquent hg
ures leads the trade Of gunner to
flourish, as recent tragedies have DEM
onstrated.

the responsibility Of each girl to Tho
future generation.
Expenses Are Great
The beauty Of the ideal mental and
spiritual relationship Of the home ara
constantly held up to them. Tho
girls make budget Of expenses for
home to be maintained on a 800
a month salary. They imagine they
have married man who earns that
sum. 1t looks easy to run house on
that amount and save $25 monthly.
The results of careful investigation
of prices Of food, clothing, Incidental
expenses Of dentists bills, doctors
bills, car, fare and numerous other
things that must be taken into ac-
count seem to stagger enthusiastic
young women.
They begin to realize the value Of
money and to appreciate how mother
has to skimp to make ends meet.
And there is the question of amuse-
ments. Every girl must find her own
danger line in the social world. My
line will not do for some other girl.
The girl who loves to read and cares
little for mingling with others is in
danger Of becoming useless unit in
the ideal community.
Her sister who likes the movies is
in danger Of becoming infatuated
with that sort Of amusement only.
Then, too, the girls grasp the danger
of going along the great white way
unchaperoned.
In my two years Of experience in
this work I have never had q girl
who has taken these lectures in the
wrong spirit. They are eager to
learn to become builders of the ideal
home and mothers Of the best type
of children.

A FIDDLERs' CONVENTION

News from Atlanta, Georgia, telling
of meeting of the Old Time Fiddlers
Association, suggests one OF those
picturesque old types Of personality
that are fast becoming extinct.
Nowadays there are no fiddlers.
They are all violinists. You can see
the youngsters on Saturday morning,
hiking along the streets with their
instrument case and roll OF music,
vending their way to the music teach
ers' for a lesson. As this instruction
is a matter of parental decree enforc-
ed on children who secretly long to
be out playing games, too few real
musicians are ground out.
Every country neighborhood form
erly had its fiddler. He had rarely
taken anything that could be called
professional instruction. Often he
bought his cherished fiddle at an auc.
ton, and picked up his version Of
technique from some old timer who
had preceded him. -
Music was to him the chief Joy Of
living. He usually had some ostensi-
BILE calling at which he earned a
bare living wage. But as ne was hoe
ing corn or cobbling shoes his heart
was in the breakdown to come off
that night at the cross roads.
He had little conceit as to his own
powers. Usually you had TO use
many arts OF persuasion to induce
him to bring along his fiddle to a
public function. The writer was &C.
qusinted with a typical old time nd
dler who used sometimes to start out
with his instrument, but to repent
and conceal his fiddle behind a wall
or In some barn before reaching his
destination.
Once started, II was as difficult to
quench the liquid melody as to induce
him to begin Irish Washerwoman
Money Musk, etc. rolled out OF his
singing bow by the league. His was
a kindly soul, who brought merriment
wherever he went. His place Is not
wholly supplied by the technically
better playing OF today which so Of
ten lacks the old time enthusiasm.

There is q wonderful lesson in the
simple experience of the child who
blows soap bubbles. Each OF US is
but grown up child. Instead OF
playing with dolls. we choose hum
an beings, when we are grown to
play with. And instead of blowing
soap bubbles, we seek out tasks and
problems, many of which resolve
themselves into nothing more nor less
than soap bubbles.
The man that takes hold on tasks
without any set plan back of them
or without any purpose for doing
them is blowing soap bubbles-which
are sure to pop with nothing accom-
plished.
To realize how true this is, look
about you. See the thousands who
are really potentially able men and
women In middle life, who are doing
the work OF beginners-blowing bub'
les-bubble after bubble.
Here and there you see fellows with
energy and enthusiasm that start off
like a whirlwind, but after a while
settle back with nothing accomplish
ed. Everything has gone up in bub-
bles!

blow bubbles, and 1t is men and wo.

HELLO!
When you meet a friend in woe,
Walk right up and say, Hello!
Say Hello and How dye do!
And How's the world a'using you?
Slap the fellow on the back,
Hit him with a sounding whack;
Walk right up and don't be slow,
Grin and shake, and say Hello!
Is he clothed in rags? Oh, sho!
Walk right up and say Hello!
Rags are but a common roll
Just for wrapping up soul;
And soul Is worth true
Hail and healthy, How dye do!
Don't be bashful, don't be slow,
Take his hand and say Hello!
When the big shops meet, they say,
They salute and pass away.
So It is with you and me,
Lonesome ships upon the sea;
Each one sailing his own log
For port beyond the fog.
So let your speaking trumpet blow,
Raise your voice and shout Hello!
When we leave this house OF clay,
Abandoning to that far away,
When we journey to that strange
Country t'other side the range,
Then the souls we've met will know
Who we be, and say Hello! -.

COMPROMISES
TAX CASES
In Instances Where Failure to
Make Returns Was Due
to Ignorance.

Washington, Aug. II. The Treas
ury Department has determined to
accept offers in compromise of the
specific penalty for failure on the
part of individuals or corporations
to make returns within the period
prescribed. of their annual net in
comes for the income tax, in cases
wnere such failure was due to mis-
understanding of the law or ignor-
ance as to its requirements. The
minimum offers that will be received
are IS from individuals and $40 from
corporations organized for profit.
This statement is made in announce
ments being sent to day to collectors
of internal revenue by Acting Com
missioner of Internal Revenue Will
liams.
1t also is stated that in cases of
corporations not organized for profit
the SPECIFIC penalty will not be as
serted this year provided the re-
quired return has been or shall be
filed before December 81, 1914.
The foregoing, it is added, applies
only in cases in which there was no
intention of evading the law or es-
Gaping taxation.
In all instances, however, wherein
returns are not made until the LA
biity to make returns is discovered
by investigation of collectors of rev.
enue agents, the above schedule will
not necessarily apply, but each indi-
vidual case will be decided on its
own merits and the amount of the
{ fer in compromise which may be
favorably received will be deter
mined accordingly.

TAKES OVER
The Government of Mexico and
The FederalS Evacu-
ate.

Mexico City, Aug. 1.-THE capt.
tai Friday passed an expectant but
quiet day. awaiting the incoming
constitutionalists. The plan for the
dissolution of the federal army calls
for the delivery of all arms and mu.
nitions to the constitutionalists,
which seemingly indicates that if it
is complied with there will be no
fear of counter revolution by the
federal army.
The army will be distributed along
the Mexican railway, in towns be-
tween the capital and Puebla. The
new minister of war will designate
constitutionalist officers to receive
the surrender of each battalion.
A commission of four constitution
alists met General Velasco, minister
of war under President Carbajal, to
arrange the taking over of the forti-
fications at Cuitlauian and Tlalue-
pantla.
1t is probable that General Carran-
za's cabinet will be as follows:
Foreign minister, Isadora Fabela.
Minister of the interior, General
Alvara Oregon.
Minister of war, Gen. Eduardo
Hay.
Minister of public works, Alberto
T. PAM.
Orders closing all Catholic church
es were issued by the archbishop,
who will not permit them to reopen

TWO SUSPECTS
ARRESTED
And Taken To Union City,
Tenn, On Charge of
Murder.
ONE WAS A WHITE MAN.
Both Men Had Been In This
City For A Week or
More.

Saturday night Fred Sheurer, a
nineteen year old boy, was arrested
at the home of Geo. Connell, where
he had engaged board for a week,
on the charge of being an accessory
in the murder of a barber named
Lehman in Union City, Tenn. This
murder happened several weeks past.
A negro boy, who gives his name as
Luther Hockett, was also arrested.
Hockett is charged with the murder
of the victim.
These two men have been in this
city for about week.
Lehman, who was supposed to
have been miser, was murdered at
night and his body disappeared for
several weeks. The authorities had
been searching everywhere for his
body and at last they found it in an
old well. The feet were floating on
top of the water, the head having
been weighted down.
In the meantime those accused of
the murder escaped and the Union
City officials have been looking for
them everywhere.
1t is thought that .Scheurer and
Hockett have been supplied with
money by accomplices in Union City
They were sent back to Union City
at $3.50 Sunday afternoon.

THE AMERICAN FLAG FLIES.
City Decorated For OCCASION
Carranza, With Main Body,
Entered Sunday Morning.

Mexico City, Aug. 16.-The nation
al capital is in the hands of the con-
stitutionalists. Gen. Obregon march.
ed in with his army and took peaceful
possession of the city late Saturday.
The citizens greeted him and his
soldiers with cheers. The evacua-
ton by the federals has been COM
pleted and constitutionalist troops
are quartered in the barracks, which
the government soldiers recently
occupied.
With the resignation of the mill
tary governors of the states of CHA.
pas, Vera Cruz, Tabasco, Campeche
and Yucatan, the last vestige of the
old regime will disappear.
The city was decorated for the
occasion. For the first time in
many months American flags flew
beside the street, along which it had
been announced the constitutionalist
troops would pass. After six hours
of waiting the people were rewarded
by seeing the front ranks of the
main force of Gen. Obregon's army
swing into the Pasedo de la Reforma
and commence the march toward the
national palace.
Gen. Carranza with the main body
of the army entered Mexico City
Sunday morning.
