State Hospital. captained by Sam Ev-
ans, won from Mrs. Lenuihan's bowl

this victory, which was witnessed by

with the fact that the men had James

TO OBSERVE MOTHERS
DAY NEXT SUNDAY

Mothers day will be observed Sum
day Although it was not until 1914
that congress passed resolution des-
ignating the second Sunday of May
as Mothers. day and requesting the
people to. observe it, the idea goes
back to 1908. In that year Miss
Anna Jarvis of Philadelphia, at the
request Of Sunday school superin-
tendent, arranged memorial service
in the Virginia town. in which her
deceased mother had been a moving
spirit. This congenial work; brought
to Miss Jarvis the realization Of the
growing lack of consideration of
busy men and women for their
mothers. Mothers day was the out
come. At first it was only observed
in Sunday schools and churches, but
so widespread has the observance. of
the second Sunday of May become
that the sight of men and women
wearing colored flowers in honor of
living mothers and white ones in
memory of those who are dead, would
say Mothers day to those who had
lost track of the calendar.

METHODS OF MAKING q.
+ LUXURY TAX RETURNS
49,. ARE NOW EXPLAINED
Internal Revenue Commission
er Tells What Monthly Re-
q port Requirements Are.

Methods as to the collection of the
luxury taxes which went into ef-
feet May l and the system which
merchants are expected to observe in
making returns are outlined in a
tentative ruling just made by the
commissioner Of internal revenue.
Merchants will be required to rem
der returns covering the tax collect
ed during the given month. and al
though their records shall be kept in
such manner as to indicate the tax
received on each SALE the form Of
monthly raturn4 required of them
shall show simply the aggregate
amount of the tax collected under
each subdivision of the section orthe
law, the ruling explains. That is.
the total amount of tax collected on
sales Of mems and boys hats shall
come under one head, those of wom-
ems and misses hats under another,
ETC., following the classification by
subdivision of the section.
The monthly return must be sworn
to by the vendor and filed by him
with the collector for the district in
which the vendor has his principal
place of business. The return must
be filed on or before the last day Of
the month following the one in which
the sales were made.
The tax is on the actual sales price
and not on the list price, and the tax
cannot be included in the price but
must be billed as separate item.
Should articles on which tax has
been collected be subsequently re-
turned to the vendor, the sale being
rescinded, no tax is payable. If the
tax has been paid it should be re-
funded. If the taxable article is sold
by the vendor and later exchanged
for another article at q. higher price,
the purchaser paying the difference,
the purchaser must pay the tax on
the second sale and the vendor shall
give credit or refund to the purchaser
the tax paid on each Of the taxable
articles returned, take a credit there
for and include it in his subsequent
monthly return.
Ordinary repairs or alterations
are not taxable. The unit of measure
ment in determining the price for the
purpose of the tax on carpets and
rugs is the square yard. ALI lineal
yardage, therefore, must be converted
into square measure and the fringe
will not be considered.
In computing the tax a fractional
part Of a cent shall be disregarded
unless it amounts to one-half of a
cent or more in which case is shall be
increased to a full cent.

ONE WAY TO MEET
THE SERVANT PROBLEM

The problem Of meeting the short
age of household labor with maids
asking from $40 to SIS a week is
becoming acute. AS a means Of help
ing to solve it little folder just is
sued by the agricultural extension
division of the University Of Mime
sofa is suggestive. This little folder
suggests the starting Of cooperative
laundries on the plan of the Chat
field cooperative laundry. which has
been doing the laundry work. for
about 80 families at an average cost
of $1.37 a week for each family.
When it costs from 81 to $3.50, in ad-
dition to meals, to get a laundress to
come in and do the family washing,
this looks like a bit of pleasant fic-
ton, but emphatically it Is not FIG
ton, it Is cold, hard fact. @! =. =
