ID. C. Hayward, collector of internal
revenue, states that those income tax
returns know as 1040-A's, upon which
were to be made returns Of net in
comes for $4,000 or less, were being re-
ceived daily from the department at
the collectors office and were being
sent out by the officers as rapidly as
possible to all parties who had made in
come tax returns last year and to
those who have requested that returns
be sent them. It is the purpose, says
Mr.. Hayward, Of the department to
place in the field income tax deputy
collectors who would this year. as was
done last year, assist parties in making
their returns as much as possible but
until the new law had been signed by
the president he did not think that
work would be actively begun by these
deputies in taking income tax returns.
Hayward stated. that in view Of the
fact that such a short time this year
would be given for the collection Of re-
turns, the time expiring on March 16,
that wherever possible to do so tax
payers upon receiving the blanks will
make out their own returns and mail
them to the office Of the collector for
the reason that it will be impossible
for deputy collectors in the closing
days to assist every one who might
demand such assistance at that time
No corporation income tax returns nor
individual income tax returns for a
larger net income than $4,000 have yet
been received at the collectors office
This law changes the time Of payment
Under the old law all payment Of in
come taxes were due June Is unless 9
corporation was running on its fisca
year. This year the law requires thai
one fourth Of the amount Of taxes be
paid on or before March Is and the
balance in three equal installments or
June 15, September Is and December
l15, 1919.

Americans Run From British Ta'

Americans Run From British Tax
Collectors. - Europe's population Of
American millionaires.. and particular
ly women, is expected to be heavily
depleated by the westward trend OF
migration. Many Of these persons
have found Europe, and especially
Great Britain, combining a maximum
of social distinction with a minimum
of cost in former years.
The income tax Is the spectre which
looms up as making 1t necessary for
them to return home. 1t Is estimated
here that of the foreign wealth which
during the war has poured into British
Golfers through the income tax regu-
lations, more has come from the rich
Americans than from any other alien
class. It amounts to millions Of dol
lars.
AS there seems no likelihood Of an
early curtailment Of this toll and as
these Americans also must pay heavily
at home, it Is believed that a large
number of them hereafter will make
their permanent residence in America
and visit Europe only for the social
seasons.

The Soldiers Wife Who Died.-An
elderly couple from Brooklyn, with a
special pass from Major Gen. Shanks.
went to the Cunard line pier early yes
terday to await the arrival Of the troop
ship Caronia from Brest, in the hope
Of seeing their son, Milton K. Dodd,
private, Of Company E, 331st infan-
try.
The father, H. L. Dodd, Of Spencer
court, Brooklyn, walked to the string
piece and scanned the thousands Of
men in khaki as the Caronia warped
in, but he did not see his son. Mrs.
Dodd stood in a dark corner Of the
pier holding box Of food for her son
to take to Camp Mills.
Finally personnel officer ap-
preached the couple. saying: Your
son is on board, and when Company E
comes ashore he will step out, and you
may talk with him as long as time will
permit. Please come this way"
Company E came ashore with brisk

was told to step out. He laughed with
Joy as he embraced and kissed his
mother, but he saw in the faces Of his
parents that all was not well-his wife
was not there.
Where Is Rosie?" he asked.
"She died, son, on November 20."

But it was really Of broken heart.
She felt that you were never coming
back and just gave up"

Then came the command to fall in,
and Private Dodd braced himself, got
into line, his head erect and every inch
a soldier.
AS he marched away for Camp Mills

DON'T BLAME
THE CHILD

Don't scold your children for lack Of
control over the kidney secretions. 1t
Is not always the children's fault-in
many cases 1t means weak kidneys
and can be readily righted. Read this
York mothers advice:
Mrs. r. ]. Burke, Cannon Mill,
says: About four years ago my son
was troubled a whole lot with his
kidneys. The child had little or no
control over their action and caused
me a lot Of trouble. He was always
drowsy and listless and complained Of
severe pains across the small of his
back. This Is the way he was suf-
fering when ] started giving him
Doan's Kidney Pills. It only took one
box Of Doan's to completely cure him
Of every bit Of this trouble and the
cure has LASTED. My advice to moth
ers having children troubled this
way Is to give Doan's Kidney Pills a
trial."
