ceive letters from home?" In these cases 1t IS a question of verifying the address. Often the Young Mems Christian Association bureau find that the address is correct, and the perilous mall service accounts for the anxiety of the father or mother. Or the fault may lie with the son, who has failed to write through neglect.
 The Y. M. c. A. writes both to the boy, asking him to write home. and to the mother, saying that the son has been communicated with, and was found safe and well.
 Some letters come to the bureau that have knocked nearly around the world. A Canadian boy was traced to France, then to Palestine, then to Gal lipoli, and on board another transport for Egypt. Then the trail was lost Did he go down on the Hispanola? Is he shipwrecked on an island, or a prisoner in a German U-boat? An other lad came to France as an am- bulance driver. At the taking over of the ambulance by the American army he dropped out of sight. His chum had received a postal from some hotel in Paris. When last seen, he was con- sorting with some mysterious woman. Could the Y. M. c. A. possibly locate him and get him home?
 Another sort of letter occasionally comes to the bureau from the Ameri- can girl She wants to know whether any men in the American Expedition ary forces would enjoy receiving let ters from the girls at home, and re- quests the names of any such soldiers To all such inquiries the Young Mems Christian Association replies that the writing of such letters is absolutely discouraged by the Association, as we'll as by army officials.

 The payment may be made by check or money order, payable to the col lector of internal revenue, and deliv- cred to any deputy collector or at tached to the return and mailed direct to Jack Walker, collector, at Little Rock, Arkansas; and it is urgently re- quested that all who possibly can will avail themselves of this patriotic ser- vice and pay their taxes at the time of filing returns.

MAY POSTPONE PAY
 MENT INCOME TAX

Taxpayers are authorized under the law to postpone payment of their in- come tax until June 18th, but may full fill their obligations to the federal government for the current year by paying their taxes at the time the re- turn is filed. By so doing taxpayers will not only relieve themselves of further annoyance, but will render ad- ditional patriotic service to our gov ernment by replenishing the United States treasury at time when most needed.
 The War Revenue Act of October 8, 1917, authorizes discount at the rate of 3 per cent per annum for advance payment of income taxes, but where the tax is shown to be only few dol lars it would hardly justify the tax

HOW THE '. M. c. A. HELPS
 ho o,,rNn BROKEN CONNECTIONS

A.. of the fears and the anxieties fathers and mothers, out of the
 Sroken connections that are inevitable <, uor time, there has grown up a new
 naortment of the Young Mems Chris s;an Association, the bureau "for trac- ;ng ~ missing soldier and sailor boys"
 Tn the folks back home, one of the ,;u +raoedies of war is the fact that there is no way of following the sol I;or-sons into the enemy's country m way. even, of making sure that connections remain unbroken. One uook the family reads and re-reads, ,ouobs over, and pretends not to wipe its ewes over the usual letter from the hoy in France, letter full of bravado and gaiety, light-hearted accounting of tbe details of camp life, cockiness obout it's hardships, conviction about tbe outcome of the war. The next week the letter doesn't come. They toll each other that it has been de- layed, try not to listen for the post mans ring, and refuse to meet each others eyes when the postman has come and gone. So the week drags by, and the next week comes, and the next. and the weeks after that.
 He may be in the hospital, he may have been transferred, he may even be a prisoner of war. He may be dead although they have received no notice of his death. They would al- most welcome that notice sometimes, in their anxiety, for there is no grief worse than such terrible uncertainty. There is nothing that they can do but wait. Connections have been broken as completely as if the absent boy were in another planet.
 Then they remember that his letters home have been written on Young Mems Christian Association station cry, with the familiar Red Triangle in the corner. Perhaps the Young Mems Christian Association knows some thing about their son. They deter mine to write and implore it's help in getting into touch with him once more. Sometimes it is the father who writes, asking that the bad news, if there is any, be kept from the boys mother. Sometimes both father and mother write, unknown to each other,

each trying to save the other pain.

each trying to save the other pain.
 It was these heartsick letters from the home>folks, mostly mothers, that led to the creation of the new bureau of the Young Mems Christian Associa- tion. It follows missing soldier and sailor boys almost around the world sometimes, to bring back word of their safety to their people at home. It goes even into the prison-camps, to ascertain their whereabouts. During the last month, the bureau received thirty-five letters, and was able to trace twenty-one of the boys.
 No detective agency ever worked on such meagre clues as the bureau of missing soldier and sailor boys must do. Sometimes only the boys name is given. Often, the sole hints are such bits as these: "My boy graduated from Yale in 1916." Charley sailed from America, on the 'Espagne' June 18." "The lad was in Ambulance Sec tion 28, but dropped out, to try to enter aviation"
 It takes infinite patience to follow such clues to the end, just to bring comfort to the hearts of anxious moth CTS back home. Perhaps only a wo- man could be expected to understand how other women worry about their soldier boys. At any rate, at the head or the heart-of the bureau to trace missing soldier and sailor boys, there is woman, Miss A. Evelyn Newman, who for seven years directed the Studio Club for Girls, in New York. "My boys," she calls the missing sol- diers and sailors, and every letter that comes from their families at home she considers personal, and answers as soon as she can, knowing how that an- swer is waited for at home.
 The method of following clues de- pends largely upon the information given in the parents letter. Some times the University Club in Paris, 8 Rue Richelieu, can give aid; some times the steamship company records are of help, sometimes the aviation headquarters supply the missing in- formation. The Army Rewister han dies huge location department, in helping the homefolk to keep the ties unbroken, and the Red Cross has cabi- net cases full of filing cards on the problem. Both cooperate warmly with the Young Mems Christian Associa- ton in the effort to trace missing sons and a day never goes by without many inquiries being exchanged.
 By far the greatest number of let ters deal with boys whose correct ad- dress is supposedly known as, for in- stance: "Is there any military reason why my son in - Regiment, - Engineers, can not write me, or re-
