MEN
GET READY TO
!. COLLECT TAX
Income Returns to Be Tabu-
lated Much Same as
d Last Year

Officials of the Internal Revenue
Department who will have. charge
OF receiving statements filed in ac-
cordance with the income tax laws
this year, have not received instruc-
tions or forms from Washington, and
therefore are not prepared to go
ahead with the work of receiving
statements. 1t was announced this
morning that when the forms are
received, which likely will be with
in a week or ten days, proper notice
will be given and forms can be Sc
cured at the Office of the internal
revenue collector.
The tax exemptions are the same
as last year, it was announced.
Single men whose salaries were ST.
600 or more per annum last year,
and married men whose salaries
were $4,000 or more, are liable to
taxation. The statements must be
returned by March 10 and treasury
officials have declared that there

Harrisburg is headquarters for
the subdivision of district nine, which
comprises fourteen counties, and has
headquarters lin Lancaster. The
Harrisburg subdivision comprises
Dauphin and Perry counties.
While no definite instructions have
been received, 1t is expected that
deputy collectors will be stationed
in the towns in the two counties
such as Carlisle, Chambersburg and
others. There is also likelihood
that much of the business will be
transacted by mail, letters being sent
to the addresses of those who filed
statements for the tax last year.
Deputy collectors will be on duty
in the office of the internal revenue
collector in the Post Office to give
aid to prospective tax payers. These

a German Wilhelmstrasse, one st.

This is propaganda time, and the
stores are full of brightly colored
bits of propaganda which Dan and
his friends are going TO disseminate

RUMANIAN KING
REPORTED SHOT
in NEW REVOLT
Bolsheviki Attempt to Over
throw Government and
Establish Republic
BY Associated Press.

Berlin, Feb. ia general insur-
rection is in progress throughout
Rumania, according to a special
dispatch from Vienna. King Fer
dinand has been wounded slightly
in attempting TO flee from Bucharest
with the royal family.
Workingmen blocked the roadway
from the royal palace when the
royal family attempted to flee to
Jassy and the King and his family
were forced to return. The King
was wounded when the workers
according to the report, fired upon
the royal palace.
Rioters in the streets of Bucharest
are openly demanding the overthrow
of the dynasty, crying: Down
with the puppets! Eong live the re-
public!"
Inspired by Bolsheviki
The Vilag, Of Budapest, learns
that the revolt is part of Bolshevilk
propaganda. In a clash between the
military and demonstrators at Ba-
korst, sixty persons were killed and
$50 wounded.
The discipline of the Rumanian
| army, the newspaper adds, is collap-
sing. The food and economic situa-
ton is rapidly growing worse. and
the country's finances are complete
ly demoralized. The position of the
Bratiano cabinet is declared to be
untenable.

been practiced around Harrisburg
before
According to the stories of VIC
tins, the youth enters a business
place: in his shirt sleeves and, pre-
senting number of one-dollar bills,
says:
My employer wants to send $40
by mall. Give me a $40 bill for
these twenty one-dollar bills"
Where the clerk complies, it is
said. the youth takes the money
and hands over the bills. While he
is sealing the envelope in which the
$50 bill is to be mailed, the clerk
counts the bills he handed to him.
why, there's only nineteen dol
lars here" says the clerk.
We'll just give them to me and
now that l have the $40 bill sealed
in the envelope, hold it while 1 run
around the corner to the store and
get. another dollar"
This having been done. the clerk
waits the return of the youth with
the twenty one-dollar bills. But hav-
ing waited suspicious interval, the
envelope is opened and instead Of
the $40 bill, slip of paper is found
there. While the credulous clerk
was counting the one dollar bills the
youth was putting the $40 bill into
his pocket and slipping piece of
paper into the envelope, which he
sealed.
The police to-day sounded a warn
ing against the clever swindler. A
letter has been received from Scran-
ton. declaring that the same man
operated there and at Wilkes Barre.
He is described .as an intelligent
looking man of about thirty years

form yesterday afternoon, have in
view, it is said, the demobilization
of the German army and the dis
armament of the enemy under the
supervision of the Allies. These
terms it is understood, will be CON-
municated to Germany so that the
national assembly at Weimar will
have time to deliberate upon them
until the provisional armistice ex-
pires.
Toch Goes Back to Trevcs
Marshal Foch, who. leaves for
Treves to-day, will interview Premier
Clemenceau this morning and will
begin drafting the armistice pro-
visions which the Supreme War
Council will probably examine this
afternoon.
1t is reported that NJ. Clemenceau
made an impressive speech at yes
terdays sitting of the council,
showing the necessity of taking all
desirable precautions against Ger
many. At the afternoon sitting,
President Wilson is declared to have
adopted the same viewpoint, affirm
ing that all the Allies were agreed
on that point and that divergencies
which cropped up during previous
discussions bore solely on the most
suitable methods OF obtaining the
necessary guarantees.
President Wilson, according to the
report, is understood to have de-
clarcd in conversation that re-
sumption of hostilitics was a grave
eycntuality to which lie would agree
only on the most absolutely central
considerations and not for any Sec
ondary motive. The report states
that, in Mr.. Wilson's opinion, the
non-cXccution of terms of the armis-
tice by Germany would Justify the
resumption of war, and that he
would not hesitate in that case to
order the American army to take
up arms again.

LITTLE DABS
 OF PRESERVING

It isn't verv~hard to keep your sum- mery things dainty, even when the thermometer is way up high. And YOU feel so much better, knowing your friends will be refreshed by your ap pearance.
 A good foundation for that freshly laundered' appearance is some such list as this: An electric iron, perhaps the small boudoir variety, an ironing board, a bottle of benzin, another of household ammonia, a long piece of old muslin, a heavy bath towel, nail brush, a sponge and soap, preferably in flakes.
 Now-let's suppose you are caught in sumner rain furry. Your suit is damp and wrinkled. When you get home, get out the ironing board and press A suit skirt should be pressed on the wrong side, with a damp cloth over it. If the seams show, after this, put a damp cloth over them, on the right side, and press them very light ly.
 Again, the same skirt may become shiny from constant wear. Then sponge it with warm water and vine gar, one tablespoonful of vinegar to d glass of water, on the right side. Press it in the usual way, on the wrong side.
 Your georgette, wash satin, or or gandie waists-is it ever difficult to keep them looking new, after washing. With delicate rubbing between the hands, in warm water and a lather of soap flakes, afterwards rinSlng care fully in at least two waters, no harm should be done. provided you finish the process as carefully as you begin. Wrap the waist easily in a Turkish towel, leave it for a little While-no longer than it takes to heat an iron, erately hot iron until it is dry.
 When the lining of a heavier waist or frock has become Soiled at the neck and across the shoulders, take it from the frock, and put it over a fold of Turkish towel, on the ironing board With a nail brush and a father of soap flakes, scrub the soiled parts gently changing the towel frequently so that the lining may lay upon dry cloth Rinse with the brush dipped in clear water, until the soap is removed. Let the lining dry before pressing 1t.
 Of course silk or washable kid gloves are easiest washed on the hands, dried with towel a little be- fore removing, and then left to finish drying on a paper. But when wash able kid glove gets a soiled spot or satin on it, which will not come off this way, brush it carefully with an old tooth brush-very carefully-lest you roughen the kid.
