but they are also getting mems wages
for their labor. 1t is surprising to learn
how many women are making returns on
their salaries alone"
II is roughly estimated that one-tenth
OF the visitors at the internal revenue
offices are members of the weaker
sex. This looms up as considerable
figure when 1t is remembered how many
hundreds of persons make their income
tax returns.
Collector of Internal Revenue Ephraln
Lederer expressed himself as highly
pleased at the way that women have
made returns. They are not without
their human sldelights. however, and the
Collector smilingly pointed TO an exam
pie. A woman, he said, wrote the de-
partment that she figured her income tas
by three different systems and got diff
ferent results each time. She therefore
enclosed a check for the largest amount
saying; ''rhe Government Is entitled u
the benefit of the doubt"
April is the last day on which al
income-tax return may be filed. Unless
II is In by that day and the authorities

BLANCHE BATES TELLS WOMEN
TO BE PATIENT AND WIN WAR
Noted Actress Comes Back to Stage After Six Years
Retirement to Help Her Country in Fight
for World Freedom

THE spirit Of patience-thls is the
i message OF Blanche Bates TO Phia-
deiphia women.
Patience that they may back UP the
men already in the service of their
country patience that they may urge
their loved ones. even at the cost of
tremendous sacrifice. to volunteer for
the light to down the German.
The noted actress is starring In the
big recruiting spectacle, Getting To-
gether," at the Lyric Theatre this week.
She has come back to the stage after
an absence OF six years to urge men
to join the colors. and TO urge women
to send men to the recruiting offices.
There are still many branches of the
service In which men may enlist--the
Navy and special branches of the Army
and the Marine Corps. II is here that
Miss Bates Is sending men. and urging
women to sacrifice their selfish desires
by pointing out 20 the "stay-at-homes"
the need for immediate enllstments.

tion.
women must be loyal and faithful,
not only TO their country. but to their
men and themselves as well.' said Miss
Bates today. by putting aside their
trifing pleasures and realizing that they
must sacrifice tho presence of their
loved ones and must fight the fight
here as the men fight II on the other
side-this is the only way they can
do their full duty.
THE time has come when women
must give up mere forms of war work
for something bigger, broader and more
real.
"Of course, the going away of the
men causes the greatest sorrow, but
we have the example of the women or
France. We must learn to bear sorrow
as they that we may never feel 1t as
they.
This requires patience, divine pa
! tience. Women are easily upset and
peculiar. but this must be overcome
| Only with the women backing up the en-
listed men can ultimate victory be
achieved.

saw lady on the STAIR.
And she was, oh. so strangely fair,
With a knot of butter-colored hair,
And waiting, listening, wondering air
She was tall as a lady ought to be,
And down she looked and smiled at me
Her eyes were queerly brightly blue
As the bit of sky that last shines through
The gathering clouds oppressive gray
on a chilly. windy autumn day.
There she paused on the stairs and
smiled
Like a child who sees another child
with whom 1t would dearly like TO play
