lector of Internal Revenue J. w. Bailey
said, chat many persons experience
good deal of difficulty in filling out
income tax forms. 1t recognizes, too.
that taxpayers resident at points
where collectors offices are not easily
accessible, find it hard to get proper
instruction in the law. Next year when
every married person living with wife
or husband and having a net income of
$4,000, and every unmarried person not
the head of a family and having a net
income of $1,000 for the year 1917,
must make return of income on the
form prescribed, there will be- hun
dreds in every community seeking
light on the law, and help in executing
their returns. My own and every 9TH
er collection district in the nation will
be divided into districts, with the coun-
ty as the unit, and a government Off
Ger informed in the income tax assign
ed to each district. He will spend
hardly less than a week in each coun-
ty, and in some counties longer time,
very likely in the courthouse at the
county-seat town. In cities where there
are collectors branch offices, he will
be there, and in other cities possibly
at the city hall. My office will In due
time advise postmasters and bankers
and send out notices to the newspapers
stating when the officer will be in each
county. 1t will be unnecessary for
prospective taxpayers to ask my Of
fce' for forms ON which to make re-
turns. The officer who visits their
county will have them.
eft may be stated as matter Of gen.

the remainder after subtracting ex-
penses from gross income. Personal,
family, or living expense is not ex-
pense In the meaning Of the law, the
exemption being allowed to cover such
expenses.
1.-THE new exemptions Of $1,000 and
$4,000 will add tenC of thousands to
the number of income taxpayers in
this district, inasmuch as practically
every farmer, merchant, tradesman,
professional man and salary worker
and a great many wage-workers will
be required to make return and pay
tax"

Concord, N. C.-Gaston B. Means,
acquitted of the charge of the murder
of Mrs. Maude A. King, for which he
had been on trial the last three weeks,
spent Sunday free man with his fam
lily at the home of his father, and going
about the streets of Concord, his boy
hood home, receiving the greetings and
congratulations of friends. mot gull
ty" was the verdict rendered by the
jury Sunday morning at 1922 o'clock
before Judge Cline, members of coun-
sci, the defendant, his wife and father
and other relatives, and considerable
number of spectators who had gather
ed in the Cabarrus county courtroom.
The jury, having had the case over
night, sent message by Sheriff Cald-
O'Clock asking him to come to the
courthouse. The judge was eating his
breakfast, which he finished, proceed
ing to the courthouse at 10 o'clock. To
the crowd that had gathered, Judge
Cline stated that he did not know
whether or not verdict had been
reached, but in the event that such
was the case, regardless Of its nature
there must not be any demonstration
upon its announcement. He instruct
ed Sheriff Caldwell to arrest any per-
son violating this instruction. He gave
positive instruction also that the jury
men should not be approached after
the verdict was~announced before the
jury was dismissed. Judge. Cline's in
structions evidently were effective, for
there was absolutely no demonstra-
ton.
Many Congratulations.
All was quiet and orderly until after
court had adjourned sine die at the
judges order. Then counsel and
friends crowded about Means to con-
graduate him, he put his arm about
Mrs. Means and the two, with other
relatives and friends proceeded from
the courtroom. On the way to the
rear door, Mrs. Means encountered n
sister Of the defendant and the two fell
into each others arms and wept.
When the jury fled into the court
room, Judge Cline stated that in his
charge Saturday afternoon he had in
advertently referred to the time Of
the shooting as evening" and asked
the Jurymen whether or not they had
interpreted his use of this word as an
expression of opinion on his part as
to the fact of the time that Mrs. King
was shot. The jurymen, all in accord,
stated that they had not. Clerk of
the Court Stonstreet then asked the
formal question as to whether a YER

EoI years she was a sort or fairy
godmother to the boys of the Paint and
Powder Club, chaperoning their par
ties, designing their costumes and
making herself useful to the organiza-
ton in a hundred different WAYS. Her
son, Howell Reid, who can give julian
Eltinge points on how to be lady, was
for long time leading lady of the
company. He is now in the West
somewhere. and I hear his engagement
to a charming Western girl has just
been announced.

itor in Washington, and very well
come one; for she is pne of the clever

ways, only when ! knew her she was

to which Mrs. Reid had no claim, al
though she was always handsome and

through that same phase. The ladies
are crowdIng the seasons so hard that
presently / guess we shall be wearing
straw hats all winter and velvet or
fur ones all summer.
Palm Beach is the excuse: people
come up from the sunny strands in
summery wear, and in midwinter
look like the leftover middle OF last
July. They wouldn't dare appear in
such togs dragged forth from a
closet: but they can wear 'em up
from Corona and be recherche: it's

pearing early in February; this year

uary, and even on Christmas Eve

be. You never guess wrong on them
nobody ever put on a spring hat in
January that could possibly be sus-
pected OF having survived from last
season.
With their furs all summer and
diaphanous straws from "hoS KILN

from the Philippines. They are due
to arrive in San Francisco today, and
will come straight to Washington for

of the usual three years of sea duty,
and probably will have to go to sea

gins, 3rd, will remain here with her

will be attached to the Atlantic fleet.

Easterday. She lived in Washington,
or rather in. Georgetown, most of her
life. Mr.. and Mrs. Easterday only
gave up their house in Thirty-first
street, opposite, Tudor place." a few,
months ago in favor of an apartment
in the Decatur, as their family had
grown so small. Edith, the only child
now at home, is still in school. She
is only seventeen and won't make her
debut for year or two. but promises

was Miss Leetch, OF Georgetown.

Scant Audience Greets
Grand Opera Company.

Do we deserve grand opera in
Washington? From the size of the
audiences which attended the Boston
Opera Company's very excellent pro-
ductions at Polls Theater it would
seem not, but the pitch of enthusi-
asm which the same audiences reach
ed argues that we do. Moreover, l
believe half the people in town did
not know when the opera was com
ing, and hardly realized that 1t was
coming at all. If the local manage
ment had appealed to the newspapers
for a little help in bringing their at
fractions before the public 1 believe
the engagement would have been
measurably more successful.
Although the ''firAt night did not
fill the house, the audience measured
to its proper standard of brilliance,
and the way IN which glasses were
leveled at the boxes during the entire
actes was almost Continental in its
frankness. Two women in particular
were the cynosure of all eyes, Isabel
May, for her very striking costume
and the oddness of the arrangement
of her coiffure, and Mime. Tamaki
Miura, the little japanese prima donna
of the company, a picturesque figure
in her blue kimono and gorgeous
golden obi, who absolutely twinkled
as she talked to the men and women
who crowded about her box.

For ValOr I'm France.

Do you remember little Nina Reid
clever chic, and charming, who used
TO come over from Baltimore to visit
during her first year out and who
took part, with two or three other
Baltimore girls and some of the boys
of the Paint and Powder Club, in the
famous Kermess we had three or four
yehrs ago? I hear she has just been
decorated by the French government
with the medal for vaIor for her work
In Geld and hospital.
Nina Reid was one of the most pop
ular girls in Baltimore society when,
at the outbreak OF the European war,
she went abroad with her mother,
Mrs Andrew Melville Reid, to engage
in Red Cross work. She has since
been connected with the hospitals in
Dinard. Recently Nina and her
mother have been in Paris visiting

who is an uncle of Mrs. Reid.
