TINE ExrEMnEn

That there will be no general ex-
tension of time beyond March 18th,
for the filing Of returns and for the
payment of Income and Excess Pro-
fits taxes due on that date, is the de-
cision of Daniel c. Roper, Commits
sioner of Internal Revenue. The an
nouncement was made today by col
lector Hamilton, Immediately follow
ing the approval by the Senate and
House of the report of the conferees
on the new Revenue Bill
ut is necessary to get the initial
taxpayers in by March 18TH" says
Commissioner Roper. mo other
course is possible. Some months
ago the Treasury issued certificates
of Indebtedness to an amount APP
proximating $sOO,OOO,OOO, maturing
March 18th. The first payment of
the Income and Excess Profits taxes
for 1913 was planned for that date,
to meet this huge obligation.
"The American people have proven
that there is no emergency too great
to be met and solved by CO. opera
ton. This present situation is an
other emergency which can be over
come by cooperative, effort. The
Bureau extends it's every force to-
ward this end, and I am relying up
on the people to meet the situation
whole heartedly.
"The Internal Revenue Bureau
must carry out the program pre-
scribed in the new law, which re-
quires all returns for 1918 to be filed
on or before March Is, 1919, and re-
quires the first quarterly payment
or the entire payment to be made on
or before that date.
every taxpayer who can do so is
urged to make full payment of his
income tax on or before March Is.
The quarterly payment method is
intended for taxpayers whose fl
nancing of the tax at one time would
tend to upset local conditions.
"The Approval of the report of the
conferees by the Senate and House
of Representatives brings the new
Revenue Bill to the point where it
may be assumed to be law. The
Internal Revenue Bureau has been
making preparations to collect the
taxes which it provides, and is now
putting all Of it's efforts into aid
ing the taxpayers to fulfill the obi
cations imposed
"The Bureau has arranged to send
an advisory force Of several thou
sands Of deputies and agents to as
sist taxpayers. These officers will
be stationed at convenient points
where they may be consulted with
out charge. Taxpayers should take
the initiative and get in touch with
these Revenue men for any needed
advice and assistance in preparing
returns.

HAD AN EYE TO THE FUTURE
Farmer May Not Have Known Much
About Music, but He Was a
Bear on Economy.

A Woodworking farmer in Ohio ha0
sent his son to a good school of music
so that he might receive the best in
struction from the beginning. 1t was
necessary to buy violin for him, but
he was such little chap that his
teacher thought that sO-called half
violin" would do. The father, whose
resources had been badly taxed, was
loath to part with the money for the
instrument, but finally did so.
The lad made rapid progress, an6
became so proficient that half-viOlfD
was no longer good enough for him.
Again he went TO the music store with
his father, to whom the salesman
showed the entire stock of viOlins. The
parent was apparently dissatife6
with all of them. and his gaze wan
dered around the shop seeking for
something better. Finally he saw a
violincellO.
"We1l take that big violin there"
said he, as smile Of satisfaction
spread over his countenance. "Tbe
boy won't outgrow that right away"

FAMILY HOTEL" CAUGHT ON
RidicuIed When First Established in
London, Idea Has Met With
Enormous Success.

The first family" or Temperance"
hotel I'm London, the forerunner OF
tens of thousands of such hostelries in
all parts of the world, was opened in
Covent Garden about 145 years ago.
An inn for the more or less permanent
accommodation of families, and minus
bar, was an undreamed-Of thing, and
other hotel-keepers laughed the prof.
ect to scorn. Despite their derision,
the scheme was successful, and made
a snug fortune for its founder, David
Low. London now has hundreds of
family and temperance hotels, and the
United States has thousands of them.
The edifice In which Low started
his hotel is still standing. The build
ing was erected early In the seven
teenth century, and was originally the
home of Sir Kenelm Digby. Crom-
wells council held sessions In the
building, Il is said, and IL was the
scene of many other noteworthy gath
erings before 1t was converted into
bostelry.

AIeppo in the Middle Ages.

AIeppo in the Middle Ages.
Aleppo's brief political greatness
thus fell beneath the hammer stroke Of
Nicephoros Phokas, but its commercial
cminence did not leave II. For two
centuries it led a precarious political
extraordinarily i'm vassalage to the
dominant great power. II was part Of
the empire of the mighty Saladin, and
probably the work of his masOns is to
be seen today in the citadel walls.
After Saladin and his house had passed
away AleppO fell 10 the Mameluke sui
tans of Egypt. Thither in 1902 came
the terrible Timur (Tamerlane) on his
way To overthrow the army Of Egypt
at Damascus.
Timur left terrible traces of his pres
ence on Aleppo, but the city, thanks to
its splendid situation, recovered, and
for the next century or more, indeed,
was mt the height of its prosperity.
II was injured by the discovery of the
passage round the Cape Of Good Hope.
bat remained great and wealthy until
1922, when II was smitten by an earth
quake and almost completely de-
stroyed, with loss Of life calculated
at the lowest at 10000 persons. Dur
ing the thirteenth. fourteenth and fif-
teenth centuries II was foremost among
the trading cities OF the world, and its
renown spread far and wide.
1t was from Aleppo that the first piO-
neers of England's Indian trade and
empire started on their long journey
TO the courts of the mOghul emperors.
Doubtless 1t was from some of them,
or reports Of their journeys which must
have been current In EliZabethan
London, that Shakespeare and Marlowe
learned of the oriental city. At all
events, references to AleppO are to be
found in the plays of both-less In
Shakespeare than I'm MarlOwe. whose
bent was clearly in the direction of orr
entail glamor.
Modern Alepp0 still suffers from the
destruction wrought by the catastrophe
of 1922, but there is no doubt that the
researches OF skilled Psychologists
would meet with rich reward In a city
which has existed continuously for
1000 years, which has seen the char
ioteers of Egypt and of Khatti, the
phalanx of Alexander and the legiOns
of Rome, no less than the mailed horse
men of ByZantium and the savage
riders of Timur and Selim the Grim.
The citadel walls still stand intact and
imposing; the walls of the inner city
are mainly in ruins. In the western
rampant there survives-in the form
Of an scriptiOn-evidence of the pres
ence of the Hittite conquerors, who
wrested North Syria from the weak
hands of the hereto Pharaoh Akena-
ten. The fiat roofs of the houses are
often laid out as gardens, and south
and west of the city extend wide
plantations and orchards. Water is
supplied by means of an ancient
aqueduct, a relic OF the Roman rule,
which, In Syria, as In Gaul and Brit
ain, has left indestructible evidence Of
its passion for works of practical util-
ity. There is much local industry, and
as n principal station on the Trans
Syrian railway close to the Bagdad
line, Aleppo still occupies a position
of great Importance. Under civilized
rule 1t has every opportunity of recov-
ering its former prosperity.

was ope of the Syrian towns captured
by the Egyptian conquerOr, Thothmes
III, about 1880 II. c., and thereafter is
of frequent occurrence i'm the agitated
annals of those early times, says a
writer in the Sphere. Under Roman
rule II enjoyed long period Of pros
perity. It's ancient Syrian name of
by the Greeks into Chalybon. but IL was
also known as Berea. When, after
seven centuries of Roman rule, ii fell
into the hands Of the Arabs, il was
called by them Haleb, a nearer approx
imatiOn to its ancient name than the
Greek Chalybon. The Venetian and
other Italian visitors, of whom there
were many in the middle ages, blum
dered Haleb into Aleppo-that is, they
dropped the aspirate, rs Latins so
often do, sounded the final "b" as a
''p," and added in the arbitrary fashion
of Romans, Greeks and Italians their
termination CO."
The secret Of AleppO's long prosper
ity, which endured even under Turkish
rule, is it's splendid commercial posi-
ton at the junction of at least four
great trade routes. This was perhaps
largely due TO the destruction of>Pal-
myra (Tadmor) by Aurelian. after
which the bulk of the trade which had
passed through the city of Solomon and
ZenObia now diverted itself by a
more northerly route through AL
eppo. BY caravan it traded with
Persia and India through Mesopota-
mia, with Egypt by way Of Damascus.
with Asia Minor and COnstantinOple by
the ancient route through Taurus.
In Romano-Persian times the caravans
passed by Ctesiphon, but after the Sara
cen conquest was the halfway station
on the way TO Persia.

Byzantine Versus Hamadanite.

During the middle ages Aleppo's ex-
istence was life of stormy magnifi-
cence. During the earlier wars of the
Saracens with the eastern Roman en-
pire II was more than once taken and
retaken. In the tenth century II be-
came the seat of brilliant local dy-
nasty from Hamadan in Persia. The
most noted ruler of this family was
Seyf-ed-Din, whom the Byzantine his
torians call "Khabdanos," |. e., the
Hamadanite. Seyf-ed-Din kept great
state at Aleppo, and probably the chief
portions of the present Notifications of
the citadel were built by him, though
it is quite possible that they are older.
He was patron of art and literature
and also a mighty warrior, who led
many expeditions against the eastern
Roman empire with alternate success
and defeat.
After much success he sustained a
terrible defeat I'm 961 in the Taurus
passes, and himself escaped only by
breakneck scramble up n preclplce.
Next year his fate was upon him, for
the great Byzantine marshal, Nice
phoros PhOkas, soon 10 be emperor-re-
gent, marched against Aleppo with all
the available forces Of the East. Seyf-
ed-Din made desperate efforts he lev
led all the citizens of Aleppo and in
trenched himself to guard the APP
proaches TO his capital, while In Mes
OpOtamia holy war was proclaimed,
and the troops Of MOsul, Odessa, Mar
din and many other places marched to
the relief OF Aleppo. Could all these
forces unite the Byzantine general
must have been defeated, but he was
so prompt that he reached his goal be-
fore the Mesopotamlans. could arrive.
BY one Of those mastery turning move
ments which i'm those days only By
zantine generals and Byzantine troops
could achieve, Phokas fianked Seyf-ed-
Din out of his intrenchments and
forced him TO fight In the open before
the city gates. He was utterly defeat
ed, and as his beaten troops poured
back into Aleppo sedition broke out.
The citizen soldiers laid the blame of
the rout upon the Arab and Turkish
mercenaries; they turned their swords
against one another, and amid this In
ternecine strife the Byzantine cuiras-
siers stormed the walls and came pour
