WILL DELAY ARREST
IN BREWING CASES

Brewers who continue to manufac-
ture beer after tomorrow when the
war emergency prohibition act be
comes partially effective, will not be
arrested Immediately, it was indica-
ted today at the Department of Jus
tice
This does not mean, it was made
clear, that Attorney General Palmer's s.
warning to brewers, issued Sunday,
has been modified. The department,
ii was emphasized, will enforce the
law until it is repealed or knocked
out by the courts. Since the decision
OF the New York Federal court is ex
pected in a week, however, officials
feel it probably will be unnecessary
to make any great number of ar
rests before that time-more probab-
~ none at all.
Department agents will collect evil
dence of violations. After the Federal
court hands down its decision there
will be time enough to make the ar
rests and bring violators into court.

WAR RISK POLICIES

The soldiers war risk insurance
does not lapse because OF non-pay-
ment Of the premium until two
months from the date of the last pay
ment.
This point was made plain today by
Colonel Lindsey. director of the War
Risk Insurance Bureau, when a gen.
eral impression that failure to ar
range to carry on insurance at the
time of discharge automatically
lapsed a policy was called to his at
tention
Colonel Lindsey explained that the
premium was collected from the SOL
der up to the first Of the month pre-
oeding his discharge, that the insur-
ance continued in force for two
months from that date and claims
arising during that period would be
settled on that basis. After two
months the soldier must apply for re-
irstatement and this must be done
within six months OF date of last
payment.

voting as a majority Of the board of
directors of the First Ch1rch of
Christ, Scientist, to dismiss John ".
Dittemore from membership in the
board. acted "in the nope Of making

ment" with the trustees of the
Christian Science Publishing Society,
concerning evil conditions which
had grown up in the publishing So
ciety" are contained i'm a bill in
equity filed by Mr.. Dittemore in the
supreme court. He petitions the
court to declare the vote, of dis
missaI illegal and void.
James "A. Neal, of the, board, and
Mrs. Annie NJ. Knott. who was named
to succeed Dittemore, also are made
defendants in the suit to have the
board restrained from interfering
with the plaintiff 'fn the exercise Of
his functions and rights as a member"
of the board.
The bill of complaint refers to the
vote OF March II, last, by Dickey,
Merritt and Rathvon, as a majority
of the board to remove Lamont, Row
lands from the board of trustees Of
the publishing society. 1t says Ditte-
Tiore did not participate in the vote
to remove Rowlands, because he con-
sidered such action "a mere subter-
fuge," and that he had long taken the
position that conditions imperatiyely
required the removal of all three Of
said trustees, and especially of the
dominating trustee, Herbert W. Eus-
tace."

directors that DittemoTe was dis

PLANE FLIES WITHOUT MOTOR.

Losing the engine from his plane while flying at an altitude of mile did not disconcert a young American airman while flying at an overseas field, according to the March Popular Mechanics Magazine. Collision with another craft tore the engine from his machine, but at a moment when the plane was gliding on an even keel, he climbed onto the top of the fuselage at full length and in some manner by continually shifting his weight, to restore balance sufficiently to prevent the craft from flutteriny into direct fall. While maintaining balance with his body, he also manip- ulated the controls and guided the machine earthward

INCOME TAX. DUE
Returns Must Be Filed on or Before March 15. Bill Provides Heavy
 Penalties.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 27.-Work on the collection of S6,000,00O has been begun by the bureau of internal revenue. This is the estimated yiela of the new revenue bill. The income tax provisions of the act reach the pocket of every single person in United States whose net income for 1918 was $1,000 or more, and of every married person whose net income was $2,O00 or more. Persons whose net in- come equalled or exceeded these amounts, according to their marital status, must file a return of income with. the collector of internal revenue for the district in which they live on or before March 15.
 Here is what will happen to them if they don't; for failure to file return on time, a fine of not more than 5000 and an additional assessment of 25 per cent of the amount of tax due.
 For "willfully refusing" to make re. turns on time, fine not exceeding S1O,OOO, or not exceeding one years imprisonment, or both.
 For making false or fraudulent re- turn, fine of not more than S10,000 or imprisonment for not more thar one year, or both, together with an ad- ditional assessment of 50 per cent of the amount of tax evaded.
 For failure to pay the tax on time, fine of not more than $1 900 and an additional assessment of per cent of the amount of tax unpaid, plus l per cent interest for each full month dur ing which if remains unnaid
 In addition to the $1 ,000 and S2,000 personal exemptions, taxpayers are all lowed an exemption of S200 for each person dependent upon them for chief support if such person is under eigh- teen years of age and incapable ol self-support. Under the 1917 act, this exemption was allowed only for each "child." The head of a fam fly, one who supports one or more per sons closely connected with him by blood relationship, relationship by marriage, or by adoption-is entitled to all exemptions allowed married person.
 The normal rate of tax under the new act is per cent of the first S4000 of net income above exemptions, and 12 per cent of the net income in ex- cess of $4,000. Incomes in excess of s5,000 are subject also to a surtax ranging from per cent of the amount of the net income between S5,000 and s6,000 to 65 per cent of the net income above S1 100000
 Payment of the tax may be made in full at the time of filing return or in four installments, on or before March 15, on or before June 15, on or before September 15 and on or before De- cember 15.
 Revenue officers will visit every county in the United States to aid tax payers in making out their returns. The date of their arrival and the To- cation of their offices may be ascer- tained by inquiring at offices of col lectors of internal revenue, postoffices and banks. Failure to see these off cers, however, does not relieve the tsx-

FORESTERS WARN PUBLIC
 THAT GAME IS GOING

ALBUQUERQUE, N. M., Feb. 27.- How to preserve the wild game of the southwest occupied considerable share of attention at the recent con ference of Forest Supervisors of the Federal Forest Service in Albuquer que, and before they adjourned they unanimously approved and issued the following statement:
 We, the supervisors of the fifteen national forests of Arizona and New Mexico, embracing an area of twenty million acres of mountainous, forested land which is the chief range of the big game of the southwest, in con ference assembled, deem it advisable to warn the public of the precarious situation of the game animals of these states. We respectfully suggest to the governors and legislatures that they most earnestly consider such revision of the game laws as will preserve and increase the remnant of our wild life in the interest of the whole people. We hold that the wild life of the for ests has an enormous potential recre- ation to the people. We urge that the game supply be regarded as a great and invaluable natural resource, and that immediate steps be taken to build up the breeding stock of game to fair margin of safety.
 We believe that the ultimate solu- tion of the problem lies in the crea- tion of wisely conceived system of small game refuges which, while not interfering with legitimate hunting in suitable adjacent regions, will give safe refuge to the breeding stock of game animals. We believe that the choice lies between annihilation of game on the one hand and a wise statesmanslike application of funda- mental principles of conservation on the other. We hereby offer our full cooperation in working out an ade quate system of game protection tn the national forests.

SURPLUS ARMY PROPERTY
 TO STATE INSTITUTIONS

WASHINGTON-All surplus army property will not be thrown on the open market. A plan has been work ed out whereby it will be offered for sale to the state institutions. It is hoped thus to prevent the flooding Of the market with finished material and at the same time offer the institutions an opportunity for providing employ ment for inmates. As soon as the states notify the waste reclamation service of the department of commerce of their needs the request will be turned over to the war department for action. Captain H. L. Baldensperger has been assigned by the war depart ment to assist in the work of the waste reclamation service.

WHAT THE U. s. OWNS.

Uncle Sam has become the worlds greatest captain of industry. Here are the figures:
 We have per cent of the worlds population.
 We own 2 per cent of the worlds land.
 But we produce 70 per cent of the worlds copper.
 We produce 66 per cent of the worlds oil.
 We raise 60 per cent of all cotton raised.
 We produce B per cent of the worlds silver.
 We dig 52 per cent of all coal used.
 We mine 40 per cent of iron and steel, 20 per cent of the worlds gold,
 We manufacture 85 per cent of all motor cars manufactured, and oper- ate 40 per cent of the worlds rail- roads.
 Now Europe owes the United States ten billion dollars.
 In two years we shall have passed England as a shipbuilder.
 All we have to do to go to the wall is to become a junker nation, with no other than material ambitions. He whom the gods would destroy they first make mad.
 But let's not do that. Let's be sen sible and decent and thankful that we are so fortunately situated And let's try to make the best use of our com bined wealth so that everybody will be prosperous and educated and com fortable and happy.

EMPHASIZES JUNKED.

 old-time leaders of the American navy have been condemned to the scrap heap. The Indiana, Massachu- setts and Iowa, battleships, now in the basin of the Philadelphia navy yard, will shortly be destroyed as they have outlived their usefulness. Yet, twenty five years ago, they were the equals of anything afloat. The lndi- ana class of battleship was regarded as daring experiment. When the Indiana first went to sea all on board were impressed with the feeling that she might turn over in heavy set and go to the bottom.
 Although the old battleships are still serviceable and they were used in the worl war, they are obsolete and are therefore destined for the naval morgue.

THUMB NAIL SYNOPSIS OF
"THE RED LANTERN

"The Red Lantern" which comes
to the Majestic Theatre next Tues
day and Wednesday, is play of mys-
FERROUS China that gives Nazimova,
the star of unfathomable depths, a
dual role which reveals the tremend-
Gus range of her rare artistry. 1t is
a play of deep Inducements, tell
ing the story of Eurasian girl-the
daughter of two races-who feels
the eternal conflict of the alien
bloods forever raging within her
soul. 1t is a theme to wake the
pulses of the heart and fill the mag
ination with the irresistible lure of
secret Asia-with splendor like the
day and a MYSTERY like the night,
where the dancing shadows Of the
red lantern light seems peopled with
the thousand and one malignant dew
lis which forever haunt those mystic
and enigmatic people of the east.
The play resounds with barbaric
melody and glows with the gorgeous
and varying hues of the Orient.
