sccentuate the dismal shades that en-

The streets quickly emptied their
pedestrians, who scurried Ike

vision, and disappeared In the black
ness OF the night.
The transition from brilliantly IL
lupnirated streets. and shops to pitch
earkuess was startling as 1t was
eerie. and huge buildings rearing
their uncertain outlines and heights
to the heavens added not little tc
the spectral picture and uncanny
feeling that crept up and down your
spine.
To relieve the situation automobile
drivers disregarded the DINNER law,
and as their machines turned into or
crossed streets, beams Of light for
brief periods were thrown far along
the thoroughfares. and then black

suddenly around some corner.

Dismounting his spot light from the

ran it into the interior Of the theater,
and mounted the spot so its rays

Washington, Feb. 2S.-Within the
next two weeks, or by March i5, ev"
cry unmarried man or woman who
earned $1,000 or more in the calendar
year 1918 and every married person
whose income amounted to $4,000 or
more must make detailed report OF
his income to the federal revenue
collector of his district. On or before
March Is the first installment OF the
income tax must be paid, one-tourth
of the entire amount due, or all OF
it If the taxpayer chooses.
This means that millions of Amer
leans must get to work at once to
prepare their returns and tor the
guidance Of taxpayers, the Internal
Revenue Bureau has issued explicit
instructions covering the preparation
and filing Of returns. This is the A
B G of the procedure:
First get tax return form from
the revenue collectors office or from
a bank. There are many kinds OF
these forms. II persons income
was below $4,000. he should ask for
the form especially intended for the
sr,o,,ar incomes. It might be ad-
yisable to get two or three OF these
forms. since one may be spoiled In
the preparation. The form is a six
page printed sheet with detailed In
structions for reporting various
items OF income and for calculating
the tax due. BY following this form
closely even an inexperienced person
probably will have little difficulty
particularly II his source OF income
was not complicated or IL It was IN
wages or salary rather than in busi-
ness transactions.
The tax rate for most individuals is
ner cent. For a single person this
| is imposed on the difference between
the total net income for the year and
$1,000, the so-called exempted
| amount. For married man or FOR
the heads of a family, the exemption
;s 80, 900 and the per cent tax is i'm
posed on the difference between
that and the total income. There Il
| provision for an additional exemn
ton of 5000 for each child or othe'
dependent person, under eighteef
years of age or incapable of self-sur
port. Thus a married man with on
child or an aged parent would hav'
an exemption of $4,000 and would pa

and his net income. A man with tw
children would have an exemption 0
