ALUMNI DANCE
TO REJUVENATE
OLD-TIME GRADS

The annual dance OF the Eastern
High School Alumni association. to
be held in the gymnasium of the
school. Saturday evening, Feb. u
will be open to members OF the
twelfth grade of the school. Each
student OF this class may bring a
friend who does or does not attend
the school. The members OF the
January graduating class will be
charged one dollar admission to the
dance. Half of this sum will go to
ward years membership In the
association.
The board Of control Of the school
already has sent out cards of in
vitation. The affair will be called a
"rejuvenation" dance. This is the
first attempt this season to launch
a dancing party and the first at
tempt In long time TO plan one
on such scale. The word "reju.
venation" gives hint as to the
idea OF the dance-rejuvenatio or
the association. and rejuvenation OF
the graduates OF long ago.
Enthusiasm among both the alum
nj members and undergraduates
runs high. and a large attendance
Is predicted. Consequently the
board is sparing neither time nor
expense in making the ever a mem.
orable one in the annals OF the as.
sociation.
To correct an unfortunate rumor,
the board states that the party is
for alumni and friends and is not
restricted to those who have grad
uated from the school. the only diff
ference being that the alumni will
receive membership cards with the
admission. Dancing will begin at S
o'clock.

TAX RETURNS
ARE DELAYED
Collector Expects to Have Big
List Of Delinquents
After March 1

Income tar returns are slow In
coming In this year. according to In
ternal Revenue Collector James
J. Brady. who expects to have a
large list OF delinouents. March l
10 the last day on which returns can
be fled without penalty. Eight
thousand corporations and individ.
uals have not Jet made their re-
turns.
"In spite OF all the publicity given
to the income tax matter. March |
always finds q large number OF de-
linquents." said Collector Brady.
Corporations are filing In some
what larger proportion than individ'
uals, but the number Of both still to
come presages an unusually lengthy
delinquent list.
Notwithstanding thousands OF
letters, telephone calls and personal
interrogation. the fallacy still per-
sists that IL corporation does not
make a profit. IL does not have to
hle n return. The matter Of profit
or loss to q corporation cuts no fig
ure. All must make returns or suf-
fer the penalties imposed by law.
the maximum being $4,000. But
where the delinquent shows no In
tent TO violate the law and evade
taxation the treasury department
will accept an offer In compromise
OF not less than $40 In lieu OF prose
cutting the offender. In the case OF
an individual who Is delinquent in
Ming his return. a smaller penalty
10 sometimes accepted. Thousands
Of dollars In income tax penalties
are annually collected from both
corporations and individuals. and
many OF the latter who are married
rest under the impression that II
their incomes are less than $4,000
they are not required by law to
make a report. The fact is that
every person whose income Is $1,000
or moro must nle his statement, be-
cause the government Is not sup
posed TO know whether the taxpayer
| is married or single until the return
10 filed and claim made for exemp
tion from taxation on the basis OF
social condition.
Employers OF nonresident aliens
are also required to make report OF
All wages and salaries paid to such.
and to deduct from the payments

NORTHWESTERN'S
GROWTH FAST;
ANNEX NEEDED

Northwestern high school has be-
gun its third year with an increase
II. attendance OF 100 per cent over
two years ago. One class OF about
30 students was graduated In Janu-
airy. and another one twice as large
will be graduated in June, but the
number of new students to enter
the school more than make up for
these losses and crowded conditions
are prevalent throughout the school.
There are not enough seats in the
class rooms or enough lockers In
the halls. and the teachers are con-
stantly being forced to change
rooms. The attendance has mounted
above the thousand mark. There
are close TO 600 girls and 500 boys
In the various classes.
Northwestern high school IL the
one large school in Detroit that I
am really in favor of increasing In
size" said DR.. Charles z. Chadsey,
supt rintendent OF schools. In discus
sing the conditions. "I have always
been opposed to large schools, but
In this case II seems best to make
the school bigger instead Of having
two small high schools in the same
district. The board Of education
owns a great deal OF land around
the present Northwestern high
school and with the appropriation
OF s25o,o1o which we are asking for,
we can easily build a large enough
annex to the school to keep II from
being overcrowded for some time to
come"

Spanish Court Customs.

There is no court in Europe more tenacious of. it's etiQuette-which was inaugurated several hundreds of years ago-than that of Spain. It is said that King Ferdinand VII. once made min ister resign because he had accidental ly touched his hand. One of the quaint est ceremonies is the closing of the royal palace gates at Madrid every night Electric light has been in use in the palace for quite long while. but nevertheless every evening at Il o'clock the officiating gentleman in waiting appears, accompanied by sev- eral servants. who carry ancient Ian. terms. to demand a huge key from a higher official to lock the doors of the palace. This is all the more amusing as the huge key does not fit the mod ern keyholes. The key is then return ed to a third official. and every night gentlemen in waiting have to patrol the corridors of the palace, though sufti- cient guards are about, to watch over the slumbers of their royal master.

Sir John lubbock's Ant.

In the biography of Sir John Lub- book, later Lord Avebury. is an anus ing story of the notice accorded to an odd pet in the Lubbock family. One of two illustrious queen ants. sovereign of one of the colonies upon which Sir John based his famous studies of the ways of the little creatures, attained the venerable age of fourteen years and then died. Several scientific journals spoke of her decease, and the news penetrated to France, where distin- guished French journalist, in whose mind, insufficiently acquainted with the possibilities of English orthography. ants and aunts were evidently confus- ed, offered profuse condolences to Sir John lon the loss of his aged and val ued relative"

UNDERsEA CRAFT.
1Ne Strength and the Wsaknsss of the
 Modern Submarine.

1No Strength and the Wsaknsss of the
 Modern Submarine.
 The chief advantages claimed for the submarine include comparative invis- ability when submerged, coupled with immunity from gunfire while in that condition. It carries a weapon against which no adequate protection has been found. It presents small and difficult target when itself assailed by torpedo attack. Other clements in its favor are low cost, handiness. aworthiness in rough weather, comparative immunity from floating mines as well as those laid in very deep water and the possi' Utilities of use as a mine layer.
 On the other hand. the submarine is handicapped by many disadvantages and limitations. Its radius of action is small. Its speed is low. about IA knots on the surface and 10 knots submerged.
 The periscope is useless during dark. ness, and to operate at that time the vessels must therefore come to the sur face, thus rendering themselves very vulnerable to the attacks of surface craft Once the submarines hull is damaged by gunfire, ramming or oth- erwise. it is no longer able to submerge. and it's usefulness as war vessel is ended until repairs can be made.
 When flying at an elevation of less than 1000 feet air craft can usually see submarines opera ting near the surface. Worlds Work.
