Lead Poisoning In Waterfowl.

According to Mr.. Alexander Wet
more Of the United States biological
survey, lead poisoning in waterfowl,
which has been known for a number
Of years, has recently assumed consid-
cradle economic importance. Wild
ducks, whistling swans and a few 9TH
er birds subject to the disease, pick
up and swallow pellets of shot lying
In the mud In marshes and shallow
lakes about old shooting blinds. The
shot remains In the stomach until it
has been ground into fine particles by
bits Of gravel, swallowed to aid d.
gestion. and part Of the lead is pro-
g-essively absorbed Into the system.
resulting in slow paralysis. emaciation
and death. Mr.. Wetmore's expert
ments show that In some cases q sim
gle No. 6 shot Is suficient to cause
death by lead poisoning.-Scientific

Figuring the Tax.

Before figuring the normal tax the
dividends are deducted as credits from
net income, together with the personal
exemption. AS In previous years, divi-
dends of domestic corporations are ex-
empt from normal a when received
by the stakeholder.
The normal tax rates for citizens
and residents are as follows: On the
first $4,000 of net income in exces Of
the credits the rate Is 9 per cent On
any further taxable income the rate Is
IL per cent.
The surtax rates apply to net In
come Of each individual In excess OF
5000. The personal exemption and
the dividends are not deductible before
computing surtax. In the ease of re-
turns by husband and wife, the net
income of each Is considered separate
ly in computing any surtax that may
be due. Form 1910 should be used for
making returns Of net income exceed
ing 5000, and the instructions on that
form will show how to figure the sur
tax.
Business House Returns.
Employers and others who paid
wages, salaries, rents. interest or sim
liar determinable gains In an amount
of $1,000 or over during 1918 TO any
person must file an information return
with the Government. Blanks may be
secured from the Collector.
Every partnership must file a return
showing its income and deductions and
the name and address of each partner,
with his share Of the profits or losses
during the past year. Personal service
corporations will file similar informa-
ton for 1918.

THIS TELLS HOW TO
FIGURE INCOME TAX
SquareIy Up to Every individual
to Get Busy by March IS
or Suffer Penalty.

"Don't wait until the final due date.
March 18th, for paying your Income
Tax and making your return. Avoid
the last minute rush. Any person can
figure out his liability today as well as
he can next week, and II there is any
point on which he needs advice he can
now get In touch with a Revenue man.
This word Of advice is from Justus
Wardell, Collector Of Internal Reye-
nue., San Francisco, Cal, who Is col
lecting the Income Tax in Nevada.
Collector Wardeli is giving without
charge every aid of his Office and his
enlarged field force to help the people
get their payments and their returns
In by March 18th.
But the Income Tax men will not
pull your door-bell or your c~oat-tails,
according to the Collectors announce
ment. 1t is squarely up to every indi-
vidual to figure out his own case and
to get busy If he comes within the
scope of the new Revenue law.
Did You Earn This Much7
Every unmarried person who receiv-
ed income averaging 1925 a week
during 1918 and every married couple
who jointly received income averaging
$3.50 a week should secure at once
from the nearest Deputy Collector or
the nearest bank a blank Form 1040 A.
That form contains the information he
will need to enable him to figure his
correct net income and any tax that he
owes the Government.
The law requires that every unmar-
ried person who had a net income of
$1,000 or over and every married per-
son whose net income was $1,000 or
over Including the income Of husband
or wife, and the earnings of minor
children. II any must make a return
on or before March 18th. And this re-
quirement does not hinge on whether
the person owes a tax.

By WILLIAM RYAN

Birmingham is a young city. as munich pal aga goes but no city of approxi- mately its size has made so much pro gress in musical art. It's musical history may be divided broadly into four periods the days of the late Frank P. O'Brien's activities, the days of Benjamin Gucken- berger's leadership, the days of J. H. Holcombe's concert management and the administration of the Music Study club. which brings it to the present time.
 It is of the work of MT. Holcombe that I will now write. Being an enterprising piano dealer, he was naturally eager to promote high-class music. In the early part of the last decade he began present. ing famous pianists in recital. Durin6 four years he brought to Birmingham Ossip Gabrilcwitsch, Willy Burmeister, Fannie Bloomfield -Zeisler. Josef Hoffman and Harold Bauer Each of them ap- peared in the Jefferson theatre and each attracted an appreciative audience, but neither artist was box office success. On the five of them Mir. Holcombe lost consid- erably over 5000.
 He decided to try once more with the hope of recouping. He engaged Paderew- ski, the most highly pair virtuoso in the world Paderewski had already been heard here several times, but music low CTS never failed to crowd the house wherf- ever he was the attraction. Holcombe feft as if he were safe in booking him. And it turned out to be so. On that one veil ture MT Hoicombe not only made up his previous losses but had snug surplus besides.
 Our local manager continued active for several years in promoting good music festivals, symphonies and soloists-but re- membering his past experiences he se- cured guarantees from well-known citf- zens before signing up" One of the greatest festivals ever given here was under his auspices-three nights and two matinees-Victor Herbert and his orches- tra, with Schumann-Heink and other dis tinguished singers.
 After the Music Study club became a factor iii all festival and artist recital eu- deavor Mir Holcombe retired from active pa anticipation in musical management. bur stood aver ready to help when his ser vices were required.
 He came to Birmingham's musical rdB- cue last November and made the appear ance of the great Paris Conservatory orchestra of S players possible. The Music Study club, not being able to secure q theatre of adequate seating capa city. gave up the enterprise. The booking agent was about to leave town when some one suggested the Hotel Tutwiler as a suit able place for the concert. and Holcombe as the man to manage it. He took hold
