George Il. Clements, who at that time

Paco chamber OF commerce and who
handled the publicity for the three

idea that II the congresses and the

AmerlC ans and Mexicans would be
attracted, the former by q desire 10
sec something Of the southern re-
public and the latter BY a feeling OF
pride in q great international gather
ing in their own country. II was
thought that a greater attendance
from the United States could be Sc
cured by holding the fair at Chihua-
hua than at Juarez while the benefits
10 both FL Paso and JuareZ would be
almost as great as though the con-
crosses and fair we're 10 be held in
either as all American visitors would
stop in both cities on their way TO

sition in Chihuahua would afford a
wonderful opportunity for making
known to Americans the resources OF
northern Mexico and should prove OF
great educational value 10 the peo-
pie OF both countries"

collectors Is the British Honduras
series OF 1918. The whites" az first

on closer examination this dinginess
is seen TO be part Of a pattern which
covers the whole design This is a
unique wartime device.
When a consignment OF the stamps
was ready for shipment from London
TO Honduras, a number OF German
raiders were at large in the Atlantic.
and there was risk that 70 might fail
into the hands Of the enemy. and be
used TO ROB the British revenue. So
the stamps were overprinted with a

be identified They reached Honduras
safely. however. and were therefore
sold and used In the usual way.

NEWSPAPER summaries Of the bill which the federal
~ bureau of immigration is drafting for passage by con-
gress indicate bill should have the support Of
every American citizen who loves his country and detests
the forces which work to undermine and destroy It
Its provisions specify the registration of all aliens with
the country IN after enactment OF the law and
the re-regstraton Of all aliens annually for four years
thereafter, thus making five years Of registration After
an alien has registered i've times no fault having been
found with him the meantime, he viii be considered fit
to remain IN the country without further registration Or
course the bill does provide that all registration shall
stop after five years. but that alien shall be subject TO
five registrations if deported. The only
qualification Of this is that all aliens shall be required

have eye all aliens all the time.
The further provides that all aliens shall be
admitted probationary basis and that their status
shall be that of applicants for admission until they have
proved their desiraby as permanent residents OF this
country
There is another point and very strong one It is
that all aliens thus tentatively admitted shall be required

Special Allowances
Granted Soldiers on
Income Tax Returns

New York, Feb. Especial al
lowances for travel and subsistence
are classed as compensation on
which men in the military and naval
service are not required to make
income returns or pay taxes, pro-
viding the total does not exceed
$500 for 1918.
In explaining this today, the in
ternal revenue bureau specified the
following items to be regarded as
compensation to be exempted: Liv-
ing quarters, heat and light allow
ances, clothing allowances, commu-
tation of rations, craftsmanship or
extra duty pay, travelling pay to dis
charged men, mileage allowances,
and allowances in lieu, of subsist-
ence while travelling under orders.
Family allowances paid by the
government since June Is, 1918, to
dependents of men in military or
naval service also are exempt from
income taxes.
Employers who paid salaries to
employees temporarily in government
service may deduct these payments
in making out tax returns, regard
ing them as business expenses. This
applies to sums paid soldiers or
sailors and men serving the gov
eminent at "a dollar a year"
