DISTRICT CHILDREN
MAKE W.S S. RECORD
Pay $ll9,0el.36 Into U. S. Treas
ury in Less Than Four Months.

Pupils of the pubic schools are
showing that they are continuing to
buy War Savings and Thrift Stamps
in increasing numbers. The amount
in cash, which the school children
of the District have paid into the
Treasury through the purchase of
these stamps up to and including
March 20. or for the first three
months and a half OF the campaign,
totals $119.091.36. In addition to
the cash sales, the children have
brought the total of pledges up to
23,9S9.
During the week ending March
20, $7.255.S0 worth of stamps was
purchased and 262 new pledges re-
ceived. During this week, the
Third Division Schools continued to
lead the schools of the city in sales
with a total OF $2,125.69 with five
new pledges. The Fifth Division
schools continue to run second with
a total for the week of $1,044.69,

EXPRESS COS.

OWN BUSINESS
McAdoo Decides Against
Taking Over Activities
=, for u. S.

The government will not take over
the express companies, as recon-
mended to Director General McAdoo
soon after the railroads went under
government control.
This statement was made last night
by an official Of the railroads ad-
n,inistration, who is in close touch
with the attitude of Director General
McAdoo toward these utilities. There
is no apparent reason why the ex-
press lines should be taken over, in
the belief Of the railroad officials.
They are not needed and are at
present shipping very little stun that
the railroads do not have to take
care OF. Moreover, with the exten-
sion Of the parcel post service. by
which larger bundles and packages
of foodstuffs may be moved quickly,
this is relieving the railroads of still
further traffic. Taking over Of the
would mean only an ad-
ditional Office task, more confusion,
with little increase of revenue.

TAX SLACKERS
WILL HAVE TO
PAY PENALTY
..iel c. Roper, Internal
Revenue Commissioner,
Warns Delinquents.

Millions of dollars will be added
to the war chest by exaction Of PEN
alties against tax slackers who fall
ed to file their income tax returns.
Commissioner of Internal Revenue
Daniel c. Roper last night issued
a statement calling on all loyal citi-
zens to aid in apprehending these
tax slackers. He said:
'Tf a taxpayer has reason to be-
lieve that any person known to him
is a tax Stacker. he should report
his name to the collector of his dis
trict or to the Commissioner. This
kind of cooperation constitutes real
war service. 1t will make for equal
ization of the tax burden.
This is a challenge for the serv-
ices of every loyal citizen to do war
work"
In regard to reports that many cot
ton growers have failed to file their
income tax returns. Roper made this
comment:
'I do not wish to believe that the
cotton growers will be found lack
ing in patriotism or proper interest
in a matter SO vital to our govern
ment. realize that q large per-
centage of cotton growers in 1917.
including many cotton tenants, are
subject to the tax. The returns from
the cotton farmers, tenants and rent
ers, soon to be forwarded to me by
the collectors, should be large in
number and volume of tax.
IT any have not made returns
they had better do so before notice
OF delinquency Is received by them.
All delinquents will be promptly and
vigorously prosecuted. There is no
difference between the Stacker in mil
itary service and the Stacker from
tax duty. Both are, in effect, dis
loyal to their government"
The Internal Revenue Bureau 10
expected to have completed the list
ing of income tax returns before the
end of next week. No accurate es-
innate OF this revenue nor of the ex-
cess profits taxes is yet possible, it
was said tonight.

Senator King, Of Utah. Introduced a

they are now deprived of this power

The bill would apply the law of

CAMP Song LEADERS
Direct ALTERNATELY
K. Clark and c. Wilson Will Lead
in Turns at Singing Tomorrow.

Kennth Clark. and Gilbert Will
son. song leaders at Camp Meade
and the big Marine cantonment Of
Quantico, Va. respectively, are to
take turns directing the singing at
the second community sing to be
held at Central High School at 8
o'clock tomorrow afternoon.
Plans for the event have been
completed by the District of Column
bia War Camp Community Service,
and the affair is expected to be
even more of a popular success than
the first sing. held last Sunday,
when 1000 Washingtonians took
part.
It Is hoped arrangements can be
made to hold the sings in the audi
torium at Central High School every
Sunday afternoon for the next sew
eral weeks.
Gilbert Wilson has promised to
brin ga number of his best vocal
lists from Camp Quantico to help
in the singing OF the trench songs
and old home favorites. The fol-
lowing Sunday Ken" Clark is to
bring over from Camp Meade a del
egation from the big glee club that
has made the camp famous vocally
since the former Princeton Triangle
Club director took charge of the
singing there.
Music by the community orches-
ira is to be a feature of the sing
tomorrow as 1t was of the first one
a week ago. but IL is not expect
ed the orches stra will steal the sit
uation. as 1t was shown last Sun
day that the big audience cared
more for the singing in which they
could Join than for the orchestra
numbers, though the latter were
generously encored.
Every singer in Washington is
invited to be present Sunday aft
ernoon to help in the singing.
