PASSED OVER BY TOURISTS
Little, Out Of the Way Hamlet In
Switzerland Preserves Air Of
Medieval Days.

! GruyereS Is one Of the few spots; IN
Switzerland where the tourist is few
and far between. 1t is an out of the
way little hamlet where many old Gus
toms have survived among the peas
ants. and doubtless sooner or later the
visitors will discover it and some one
Twill erect hotel with 500 rooms on
the site of the present inn and parties
will be made up in Geneva to watch
the peasant dances, and ladies from
Texas and Brazil will be taking photo
graphs of the ancient cottages on ev.
cry corner.
! The town clusters in tiny compact
group of houses around the site Of the
old castle. as is the way of towns that
were built in the day when castles
were used for protection, and not to
exort two franc tips from the visitor.
The streets Of Gruyeres are narrow
and short; they run at unexpected an.
giles and end in little squares and tri-
angles, where daily markets are held.
In one of these squares there is an an-
cient stone carved into hollows of va
rious sizes. At the bottom of each
hollow is stone plug. This stone is
the time hallowed village measure for
grain and dry produce of all kinds.
The seller pourS one Of the hollows
full, and the purchaser pulls out the
plug to let the grain run into his
basket.
The houses about the little streets
might be copies of medieval illustra-
tions, and the dates on many of them
60 back to medieval times. Each house
has its little garden full of simple
mountain flowers and in the doorway
or in the garden itself the women sit
at work on the embroidery which is q
famous local product. Gruyeres is
known for it's embroiderie> and its
cheeses, both of which are strong and
guaranteed to wear we'll.

The War Revenue Law
In addition to the regular

LII duultlOll u llle regular H.
come tax law that has been in ef
feet several years the Congress, on
October ,. 1917, passed a measure
known as the War Revenue law,
the object being to procue addi-
tional money with which to carry
on the war. The old income tax
law provides that every married
person living with wife or husb
and is allowed an exemption Of
$4,000 and every unmarried person
who is not the head of a family is
allowed an exemption of $4,000 be-
fore they are required to pay Il
tax. The War Revenue Law pro-
vides that every married person
living with wife or husband must
pay a tax on that portion of thai
person s net income that exceeds
$4,000 and that every unmarried
person not the head of family
must pay tax OH that portion
ofthat persons net income that
exceeds $1,000. This law is retro
active; that is, it became effective
Jan. l, 1917, so that all persons
who come under the classes above
described are required to render Il
statement Of their net income for
the year 1917. This statement
must be returned to the Collector
of Internal Revenue or one of his
duly authorized representatives be
tween December 81 and March l,
1918. Failure within the prescrib-
ed time makes that person liable
to heavy fine or a term in prison
or both, in addition to a penalty
of so per cent of their tax. Ignor
ance of this law will note excuse
any one. All persons liable to
make this return must secure from
the Collector of Interna Revenue
the proper blanks and make the
return or later suffer the consequ-
ences.
The Government realizes that
thousands and thousands of per-
sons will now be required to make
this return who were exempt in
former years and is very anxious
to give every possible aid to this
class in order that they maye avoid
the penalties which this law pres
cribes. For that reason field men;
see that they are properly instruct.
ed as to the provisiosn of the law
and send them throughout this
district prepared 10 help all farm
ers and business men who are H.
able under this law to comply with
it.
Within a few days I will advic.,
every postmaster, banker and news
paper as to the days and place that
[ will hav, an income tax man in
your county and will depend upon
them to advise the farmers and
businessmen. This income tax man
will come fully supplied with
blanks and will be glad to help any
one who calls upon him, TO make
Cu; his return.

IGoRRoTEs HAVE ODD HABITS
Use No Cutlery, Grabbing Food Out Of
a Common kettIe-Presented
With Spoon.

After interviewing me for half an
hour the old chief led Inc to the feast,
says Edward S. OIteilly, describing Il
visit to the Igorrotes in the World Out
look. Two huge iron kettles We're SIM
mering on the fire. One was filled With
rice and the other had q kind of Irish
stew.
Like all Filipinos, the Igorrot eats
with his hands, but l fished II tin spoon
out of my saddle pockets and gave
them lesson in table manners. They
watched every bite l took with amaze
ment. After the meal was finished, the
spoon was passed around and carefully
inspected. Seeing that the old chief
was greatly interested in this neM.fan-
gled instrument, presented it to him
in neat after-dinner speech.
He accepted it with delight. Having
no pockets, he stuck the spoon through
q hole in his ear, where he wore it with
q jaunty pride.
Then came the dancing. Hour after
hour they kept it up. beating their tom
toms and little brass kettles and cir
cling about the fire. They danced in
ordered formation. going through evo-
lutions that would have done credit to
Broadway chorus. In the shadow of
the huts could see the women, stand
ing with arms outstretched, chanting
In subdued monotone and swaying to

Young of Utah interest centers around eight persons. but in My Baby" four per sons mot counting the three babies keep the action of the play moving The first act starts off slowly until steam is gotten up, but the second and third acts are filled with many compi- cations that pile up fast, and there is no tagging in comedy business.
 Mir. McGrecr proves himself adapted to straight" work, and in the role of the man with one baby, then two, and finally triplets, he is good and thor oughly conscientious in his work.

 As result, Benny is showing up to much better advantage with the Giants than he did at this time last year, and all because the baseball public is taking him as matter of course and not expecting too much of him.
 Throughout the spring training trip of the Giants, Kauff exhibited batting and fielding ability that is natural with him. and he looked 50 per cent. better because he did not have worry in the world.
 The knowledge that the baseball public was watching every move he made. hurt Kauff last year. It hurt his hitting most of all, and column after column that was written about him got to be a subject for no little amount of kidding directed at
