Washington. March 2.--John NJ.
Goidbonds--tho name Is fict.onal but
there are quite few John Ms. in
the United States this year will pay
an income tax OF $1,000. .1S0. John
MS income for 1917 was $4,000 900.
John D. Smithkins--also fictional---
will pay $40. Bmithkin's income for
1917 was $4,000. Both are married.
This is an illustration OF the oper.
alton of the income tax provisions Of
the War Revenue Act OF October g..
1917 and the act OF September S. 1915
which proceeded It and which remains
In force
The pormai rate of tax under the
act of 1917 is per cent on the net In
come of unmarried persons in excess
OF 81 900 and on the net income OF
married persons In excess of $1,000
Under the 1916 act the normal rate is
2 pes cent on the net income Of un-
married -persons in excess sef 5000
and ON the net income of married
persons in excess OF $4,000. An ex-
ira levy or surtax ranging from per
cent on incomes between 5000 and
$500 to SO per cent on incomes in
excess of $1,000. 900 is imposed by the
ace of 1917. The act OF 1916, in ad-
dition to the normal tax. imposes a
surtax ranging from per cent on in
comes between $4,000 and $4,000 to
13 per cent On incomes in excess of
81. .0o0. 900.
John n. will pay zper cent on his
income in excess OF $1,000. : per cent
on his income in excess of $4,000. so
per cent on his income in excess OF
81. 900. 900: Smithkins will pay 2 per
cent on his income In excess of $4,000.
The income tax. as thus shown. is
no longer rich mans tax but levy
so graduated that every person ia as-
sessed according to his income.
Last year 100000 persons paid an
income tar.
This year the number will be- more
than 5000. 900.
The estimated revenue to be collect
ed under the War Revenue Act OF
1917 is $4,000. 900. 900. OF which 5000.
o0o, 900 is in Individual income taxes
Every unmarried person who made SEC
a week or more and every married
person who made $40 week or more

Silk Stockings Ban
Vexes Service Women

Philadelphia.-Wom in Phila-
delphia engaged in war work and
wearing uniforms, insist that certain
regulations prescribed governing the
wearing apparel Of women yeomen
are absurd. The idea, they say, that
tire girl who patriotically accepts a
rating in the United States Navy
must not wear silk stockings is
ridiculous. They insist that if the
girls have been educated to wear silk
stockings, no naval uniform designer
has any business interfering with
their stockings when prescribing
their uniforms.
Locally. the uniformed women are
permitted TO wear silk stockings, Isle
thread or wool as they please. Fur
thermore, they can select any color
they prefer and ever wear fancy ones.
Why should not a woman yeoman,
they ask, be permitted to do the same
thing?
How much more attractive a wo-
mans ankle looks in a silk stocking
they dismiss as unworthy considera-
ton. The possibility that display
OF silk hose is to be preferred to an
exhibition of a cotton variety should
a yeowoman get the habit of hooking
top, habit quite common among
top, a hibit quite common among
her brother officers in all depart
ments of the service, they also de-
; cline to admit is worth considering.
They base their criticism solely
on the comfort a woman finds when
she feels her trotters incased in silk
and insist that no naval regulations
should be permitted to rob her OF
that pleasure. especially as she has
volunteered for patriotic service.

For piece of Bread"

bondoa. June s1.-A picture of con-
ditions in Vienna is drawn in a dis
patch from The Hague to the Times,
reproduced from the Arbeiter zei-
tung. 1t says:
Every Sunday afternoon at 6
o'clock there comes modest tap at
the door. A little boy and girl stand
outside. tiny. pale. as thin as shad-
ows- They shrink into a corner, and
If you ask them what they want a
little voice whispers anxiously:
Please give US one small piece of
bread
children knock at many. many
doors and yet only three wretched
little scraps OF bread are to be seen
in their dirty little aprons. They
set the same answer everywhere.
We haven't bread enough. for our
selves; here's kreuzer (about half
cent? for you"
The little chap shakes his head en-
ergeucally and plucks his little sister
back.
NO money; father won't allow It"
Doubtless II is hard enough for him
to see his children go begging bread.
and IL he were not ill he would not
even allow this, but they are hungry,
and they beg for what is their good
and three times sacred right as chill
dren-they beg in order to be satis-
fed.
Unfortunately these are not the
only ones who go from door to door
begging bread in order to obtain the
least that man can ask for. and

the locksmith's boy who has to de-

the pretty postwoman-they all say
more or less frequently:

For they are hungry and filled with
the very right feeling that 1t is no
shame to beg for bread-at least no
shame for these. who must beg only
because of those whose fault 1t is
that bread has become so scarce.
These beggars are all people who

England Grows More
Potatoes; Fears Shortage

London.-To relieve the food
shortage England is growing more
potatoes this year than ever in its
history.
Announcement was made recently
by the Ministry of Food that ap-
proximately 100000 acres of pota-
toes had been planted in Great Brit
ain this year. The returns upon
which these figures were based came
from persons farming one acre or
more and showed an increase 81
twenty-five per cent. in the 1918
planting as compared with that of
1917.
Aliotments and cottage gardens
were not included in the census of
the food officials. The proportion of
land this year planted in potatoes by
allotment holders is also far greater
than in any other year.
