opville boys offered little opposition
the GamecOckS making seven touch
downs and kicking five goals. The
held was wet and the Sumter team
had to stick to straight football al
most entirely; they scored one OF
their touchdowns by the use of the
forward pass but the ball was so slip
perry that it was impossible to throw
it with accuracy. The weather was
responsible for several fumbles on the
part of the local backfield HOwev-
er, the entire team played well.
The young Gamecocks have had a
very successful season, winning five
out of seven games played. The
only two defeats were by small scores.
The team this year was composed of
entirely new men, not a single one Of
whom ever played high school ball. \
strong team was developed and next
year the locals will be out for the
State championship.

KEEP ON KNITTING"
National Red Cross 80 Urges Women
OF This Country.

Harvey ID. Gibson, general manager
of the American Red Cross, authorizes
the following statement:
/ "A great number Of inquiries are
being received by the Red Cross from
women knitters throughout the Unit
ed States as to whether they should
discontinue knitting.
THE Red Cross, therefore desires
to place before the women of this
country its conception of the knitting
situation. AS is we'll known it is the
policy of the Red Cross to supple
ment, so far as it has the power, the
efforts OF the army and navy in con
serving the health and comfort of our
soldiers AMI sailors, either in this
country or abroad.
Sweaters and other knitted ar
ticles are designed primarily for
warmth. They certainly are not Or
namental. Therefore it must follow
that when there is an almost univer-
sal demand on the part of our soldiers
and sailors for sweaters and other
knitted articles the demand is a real
one. Such articles therefore, can
only be classed as equipment, sup
Elementary though they may be, to
that furnished by the army and navy
And they undoubtedly constitute
equipment that will add greatly to the
health and comfort of our mon under
conditions generally met with.
THE Red Cross knows that the sol
diers and sailors want sweaters and
other knitted articles These goods
can be obtained from the Red Cross
in single garments only upon individ-
ual request; or if in bulk, then upon
the request Of commanding officer.
How great the need is. is shown by the
fact that in addition to the hundreds
of thousands of knitted articles pro-
duced by our Red Cross chapters in
the last few months we have been
compelled to purchase $4,000 extra
sweaters alone to meet the insistent
demand made upon us by our men
for them. We are sorry that we had
to do any purchasing at all because
we know how much the soldiers and
sailors Of this country prefer the
sweaters and other articles knitted by
the women of this country.
1T may be understood further that
in addition to the demands of our
army and navy we have very urgent
demands from commissions abroad for
ike articles for destitute civilian pop
ulatiOns-men, women and children
who, if not actually homeless are
very scantily clad and usually without
fuel, in this cold weather, to warm
their houses.
1T is hoped that this general state
ment will satisfy the women of this
country who have been devoting ali
their possible time to knitting for our
men. We can not too strongly urge
all women who are now knitting to
keep on knitting"

INCOME lax, LESS PUBEICi ~
LIKE CITY WITHOUT POLICE
BY Basil M. Manly.
Washington, April 21.-If every
light in a city of $4,000 were extin-
guished, and there was only one po-
iceman, would there be any bur
glaries and highway robberies?
This question seems absurd, but it
is exactly the situation that congress
created when it provided by law that
income tax returns should be kept
secret and created only one revenue
agent for each 365, 900 people to en-
force the law.
1t is really a wonder that the in
come tax yields any revenue what
ever, when such remarkable oppeF-
tunities for evasion are provided in
the act itself:
And it is essential, if this country
is to win the war, that full publicity
be played on income tax returns, so
there may be no opportunity to cheat
the government of its proper revenue
needed to carry on the war.
Is Unere any reason 10 De surprised
that under present conditions the
United States treasury is robbed of at
least three hundred million dollars a
year through income tax frauds and
eVasions?
Electric lights did more to put
burglars and foOtpads out of bust
ness than all the police ever commits
stoned. Electric lights prevent
crime; police merely detect and pun
ish.
Publicity of income tax returns
will do more to end tax lodging than
all the revenue agents that could be
hired. Publicity will prevent tax
lodging and frauds; the revenue
agents merely detect evasions and
impose penalties.

BISMARCK HOTEL AGAINST
"STAR SPANGLED BANNER"
ON MENU CARDS

Hotel and restaurant owners Of
Chicago yesterday decided it would
be a boost for patriotism and might
stimulate enlistment if they would
print a verse of the Star Spangled
Banner" on their menu cards. Ac-
cordingIy all but one decided to do
it. The one exception was Emil EiteI
of the firm of Eitel Bros, owners Of
the Bismarck hotel and the Bis
marck gardens. Eitel says he viii
not do it.
Eitel's two places are patronized
extensively by Germans and German
organizations Of Chicago. When the
Kaiserhof hotel changed its name to
the Hotel Atlantic, at a financial loss
in advertising, because the owners
were actuated by loyalty to the
United States, it was suggested to
Eitel that the name Bismarck was
also strongly TeutOnic. Eitel re-
fused to consider any change.
