National Defense News.
BY LILY LIKES ROWE

During the backward gazing phase OF
the Prince Georges housekeeper's New
Year, it is hoped that she will think
of the keep-it-for- history movement re
Gently inaugurated by the Council of
Defense of North Carolina as an eX-
ample worth o. incorporation into her
own scheme of things. This movement
is the determination on the part of
every man, woman and child respond
ing to its objective, to have as full a
record as possible of his or her part in
this war. 1t has given popularity to
the family diary and museum in North
Carolina It's objective is the storing
up of information, statistics. and other
data showing the tenor of these times
against the day the historians will be
ready to write the story of America
part in the present con flict. In many
windows of Prince Geor ge's hang the
Food Administration cards. These will
be interesting heirlooms one hundred
years from now. Particularly if an ac-
count of the number of jars OF ..vage
tables or fruit put up by the original
owner of the card, each year during the
war is appended to it. A bill for groc-
cries, itimized as to each article would
give historian or decendent facl-
mating side light on the conditions under
which the 1918 housewife struggled.
Those commissions issued to the Lieu
tenants and Recruiting Officers as we'll
as to the Captain of the Food Pledge
Army should be as carefully preserved
as the officers writ given the son OF
the family. That woman's work has
in the past been considered the inferior
part of Life's wonderful weaving viii
not be true when history is written
anent this war. The medal worn on
the battle heroes dead breast will shine
no brighter beside the perspective of
noble service to war swept country
than the simple window card, of loyal
housewife, the arm band of a Recruit
ing officer of the Food army or the
canning record of conscientious food
conserver.
A discarded blankbood has space for
much passing information that grows
buy when left to memory's care and
a censored letter envelope bearing dates
to show how long it Travelled from Some
where in France to Prince Georges
County would add to the family collec
ton. A bit of drab wool used for
Brothers sweaters will tell its own
story. Knitting needles that will count
off many sweaters before Peace. comes
again can become as realistically alb.
sorbing for. future generations. as the
needles of Madame Defarge of the
French Revolution nave been in fiction.
Only diary could leave for posterity q
picture of the personal sacrifice, the
high spirit of patriotism and the I'M
quenchable love of country burning
now in so many homes of the country.
If the woman of the home would set
aside each New Year as her own sea-
son for keeping her records complete,
for making ready those of the incoming
twelve months how rich would be the
heritage of the men and women of the
days following the war.

Income Tax Collector Will Visit
Laurel and Upper Marlboro

1t will require small army of men
to take the income tax returns of per-
sons subject to the new law. Collector
of Internal Revenue Joshua w. Miles
has announced that 80 officers will
start from his headquarters on January
LIST and on January End every one of
them will be on the job in the county
assigned him, to meet the people and
help them make out their income tax
returns. The officer assigned to this
county is due to arrive at Laurel Janu-
airy End and remain there until the 10Th.
He will arrive at Upper Marlboro on
February 18th and remain here until
March LIST.
1T will be we'll for every unmarried
person whose net income for 1917 is
81, 900 or over, and every married per-
son living with wife or husband whose
net income for 1917 is $4,000 or over to
call on the income tax man and learn
whether or not they have any tax to

today. 1.-The person subject to tax
who doesn't make return in the time
prescribed will regret it, as the Govern
ment will certainly get after all income
tax slackers. l feel constrained to say
this strictly in the interest of persons
of every class liable to the tax"
There's hardly business man, mer-
chant or professional man who won't
have to make of income. Farmers, as
a class, will have to pay the tax. The
safe thing to do is for every person
who had a total income of 81 900 or
81, 900, as the case may be, and who is
not sure about what deductions the law
allows him, to play it safe by calling
on the income tax man.
THE man in the field will have forms
for everybody and persons who expect
to call on him need not trouble them
selves to write to my Office for forms. y

A Gilt-Edgs Investment For
Everybody.

In looking over those new Warsaw
ing Certificates, the point to get In
mind is this: Uncle Sam is giving the
rank and file of US the best chance to
save and invest small sums of money
that has ever been offered in the
whole financial history of the world.
You can now buy the promise of the
strongest treasury on earth to pay you
five dollars five years hence January
l, 1929. You can buy that note any
time during this year at a price
ranging from $412 to $4.23. You
don't have to figure interest, nor clip
coupons, nor worry about the safety of
your loan. Behind it are the wealth
and the taxing power of the rich
est country ever known. Your coin is
earning per cen interest right along,
and interest that is reckoned every
three months. There may be savings
banks that will do that much for you,
bat we are not aware of any. If it
were not for that hundred dollar limit
Oh each purchase and the thousand
)llar limit on the total that anyone
can buy, the big financial fellows would
leave precious few of these WARSAW
ings stamps for the rest of US. After
all these years of training to cut out
Did brick schemes, which takers aim
at the poor mans pocketbook, the
Government is now giving the men of
small means positive chance to show
| whether they know good thing when
they see it. You can buy these War.
Savings Certificates at any postoffice
and at many other places keep your
eyes open for the sign). By giving
ten days notice you will be able to gel
YOUR five dollars Tor more) on or after
New Years Day, 1928, at any postoffice
where you can buy money order. Il
you want to cash in sooner you can de
it the same way, but in that case yot
will only get per cent on your money
Better see the deal through. If you
have sound financial sense. you will
tuck in some of the stamps (big o.
little) each pay day, and the time t.
begin is now.

Mcclure, of Dorchester, sergeant-at
arms.
Speaker Wooden made an excellent
impression in his first session as pre-
siding officer. His little inaugural, read
from manuscript, was short, we'll ex'
pressed and in good taste. He presided
with ready decisiou and with apparent
ease although there was nothing to test
ones parliamentary skill.
The Governors message declaring in
favor of prohibition and vote on WON
an suffrage, was the sensation of the
day.
The House was called to order
promptly by Chief Clerk Albert j. Al
,nony, of the last House. Delegate
Fisher, of Prince Georges was chosen
temporary Speaker. Ely, of Carroll,
nominated Wooden for Speaker anu
Delaplaine, of Frederick, seconded the

tors Harvey j. Speicher, of Garrett,
ami George L. Bartlett, of Talbot, the

Permanent organization then was
taken up and the selections for presi

in nomination. Senator Peter J. Camp

sion, and who was unanimously chosen
