WHAT THOSE cHEvRoN MEAN

One geld chevron, or V-shaped
stripe, On the left sleeve of a sol
der or sailor, near the cuff, indicates
he has had six months service over
seas. An additional chevron is worn
for each additional full six months.
No American troops having yet been
overseas two years, three chevrons
is the greatest number worn.
A gold chevron on the right sleeve
near the cuff indicates the wearer
has been wounded in action. An ad-
ditiCnal chevron is worn for each
additional separate engagement in
which the wearer is wounded-not
for each wound. Thus the man who
got more than one distinct wound
in one engagement gets but one chew
ron for all the wounds.
A silver chevron on the left sleeve
indicltes six month service in this
country, with an additional chevron
for each additional six months.
A blue chevron On the,Ieft sleeve
indicates service overseas of less
than six months.
Two red chevrons en- the left
sleeve indicate the wcarer has been
hCNorably discharged.
The navy wears its chevron point
up the army, point down.

SPECIAL TAX DRIVE.
To Round Up Merchants and Manufac-
turers Making Incorrect Returns.

]. Z. Kennedy, collector Of internal
revenue for Vermont announces that a
special drive to locate merchants and
manufacturers for the taxable years,
1917 and 1915 such methods tending to
reduce tax liabilityis about TO be made
by the bureau Of internal revenue
In case of voluntary DISCLOSURES before
investigation or failure TO make proper
return and payment, the policy Of the
bureau, ii was stated, will be TO forego
penalties except where there Is inten.
tional evasion Of the tax Where dis
coyery is made by government officers
heavy penalties will apply
In some cases inventories have been
found to have been taken on the basis
of average costs, though it was pos
sibe to identify the articles remaining
on hand at the inventory period, and so
determine their exact cost. In others,
because Of conservative accounting meth
DDS, fiat percentages have been deducted
/ after determining inventor values. 9th
ers use a fixed average, based upon costs
Of prior years, or fail to include all
merchandise to which they have title IN
their inventory.
| All Of these methods, which have the
effect OF reducing tax liability, are con.
trary to the regulations Of the bureau
and are illustrative, it was said, TO nu-
merous Irregularities which have been
/ found
| A warning issued by the bureau nd
vises taxpayers who have followed such
methods to file correct returns without
notice and without investigation. Some
/ taxpayers have voluntarily notified the
bureau of the employment Of incorrect
methods, and are filing amended returns,
It is only fair to these taxpayers, the
bureau states, that their competitors
who have made similar errors should be

THE PASSING OF MINSTRELSY
Primrose the Last of Long Line of En-
tertainers Who Specialized in Black
face Dialogue and Typical Songs.

With the death of George II. Primrose,
the old-fashioned minstrelsy, which was
distinctly an American invention, in
tended to give an air Of innocent and
exotic blackface hilarity to an otherwise
somewhat innocuous dramatic entertain
meut, becomes very little more than a
memory. For il cannot be held that the
acts and episodes in vaudeville, in which
the single blackface comedian, or a pair
Of them of the same or different sex, do
turn in song or dance, take the place
Of the leisured minstrel show which took
up a whole evening and was not pre-
septed as a mere Interpolation in a pro-
gram that otherwise is arranged as if a
little bit OF everything was better than
a well developed scheme in which racial
humor and plantation possibilities were
supposed to have a part Moreover,
minstrelsy as it was practiced in its hey
day allowed for local variations. Hence

Tin is one Of the few highly useful
metals that are practically not produced
in the United States proper. The output
Of tin from domestic ore in 1918 was
only 6S tons, nearly all Of it obtained
from placers in Alaska.
The tin imported in 1915, as metal and
in concentrates, amounted to S2.s54 short
tons, the largest quantity yet brought
into the country in any one year.
Deposits of tin ore are found in Cali.

URGES REFORMS nv
DIPLOMATIC SERVICE
William Phillips, Assistant Secretary of
State, Says the Pay Is Inadequate
for Secretaries and Attaches
of Embassies.

New York, Oct. lS.--A plea for the
support of business in the establishment
of a merit system and other reforms in
the diplomatic service was made last
night before the American Manufaetur
ers Export association by William
Phillips, assistant secretary of state.
Pointing out that because Of the in
terest of business the president and
Congress had already responded to the
needs of the consular service, Mr.. Phil
lips declared that the diplomatic service
had failed to arouse like support because
its results were less tangible. But the
consular service could not function with
out the diplomatic service, he said, as
the consul dealt with details while the
diplomatic representative handled the
general movements and principles OF
trade.
Young men from all over the coun-
try" he continued, "are seeking to be-
come consuls because they feel that the
country is behind the consular service
and they are proud to offer themselves
for such an honorable career
In contrast to this, he said, only 10
applicants appeared recently for exam.
nation for 30 vacancies among secre-
taries of embassies and legations
Very few" he continued, will con
slider for moment entering upon a
career which has so doubtful future
and which has little support or backing
from Congress or the country"
Mr., Phillips termed diplomatic sal
aries farce Young men are expect
ed to start at 81 800 year. After being
in the service 10 or IL years they may
expect at the highest $4,000 Cost Of
living allowances are inadequate.
"The Encouragement OF men OF ex-
perience," he continued, "pervades the
lower ranks of the service and affects
the whole system Granted that Con-
gress increases the salaries Of all the
secretaries, granted that the government
purchases its own embassies and lega
tions, granted a hundred other needed
reforms, there can be nothing perma-
nent, nothing really substantial, roth
ing which will bring the diplomatic sery-
ice up to the highest standards until the
secretary Is assured that If he really
makes good, his field Of usefulness Will
be increased by his promotion to the
rank Of minister and eventually even to
that of ambassador in other words,
merit must be recognized in the diplo-
matte service just as il is now recog
nized in the consular service
