Cut Out The Frog" Stuff

Referring to the term Frog applied
to Frenchmen by thoughtless men,
bers of the American E. F. the editor
of the Lorraine Cross, the official pub
LEGATION of the 10Th Division, says.
"Cut out the Frog stuff. It's all
based on the popular superstition that
all Frenchmen eat frogs. This is in
the same class with those other pet
superstitions, namely, that all police
men are grafters; that all artists are
starving to death; and that all law
yers are after everything we've got.
"When you're tempted to say
Frog again, bite your tongue. Then
think Of Verdun in 1916. The French
saved the world in those stirring
days. If they had fallen down on
their job then we wouldn't be here
now. It's possible we would be fight
with the battle lines a good deal
closer to our own homes than they
have been.
"Let us look at our French allies
from a different angle. They're fine
folks and they are aching to be nice
to us. But so long as we continue
our present attitude toward then
they're going to be resentful. If they
acted toward Us in the States, if the
war were over here, as we act toward
them over here, there would be deac
| Frenchmen everywhere.
"They're not Frogs They're the
people of France"

ALL PARTNERSHIPS
REQUIRED TO MAKE
INCOME RETURN
Collector of Internal Revenue
Clears Up This Point

Hon. Joshua w. Miles. Collector
of Internal Revenue, has issued a
statement calling attention to the
fact that under the present Income
Tax Law all partnerships are re-
quired to make a return of income
regardless of the amount Of gross or
net income.
This return must be made on
blank form furnished by the Col
lectOr's office and known as Form
1865.
This is a new feature Of the In
come Tax Law and Collector Miles
issues this statement at this time in
order that all persons liable to file
partnership return may be ap-
prised Of the necessity for doing so,
He said:
"Partnerships as such are not
subject to tdratiOn under the stat
ute, but individuals carrying on
business in partnership are taxable
upon their distributive shares of
the net income of such partner
ships, whether distributed or not,
and are required to include such
distributive shares in their returns.
''The larger business concerns
are probably aware Of the neces-
sity of filing the partnership re-
turn, but it is the great number of
small concerns which [ fear will
fail to file this statement because
the necessity therefor is unknown
to such concerns.
"These returns must be filed in
the office of the Collector of In
ternal Revenue at Baltimore, Mary
land, not later than June 18th
Every partnership, without regard
to the amount of its gross or net
income, should apply to the Col.
lcctor's office promptly for a blank
form upon which to file its return.

Sewing Hints.
When darning a torn garment turn
it wrong side out, place the torn edges
as closely together as possible, and
whip together lightly on the wrong
side; then turn back and darn as US
ual. This puts the raw edges on the
wrong side and makes a neat darn
especially on wooden goods or any
that ravel easily.
When stitching a hem in a skirt on
the sewing machine do not stretch
across the side seams, but sew by
hand, and your skirt will not pull up
at the seams.
Instead of using snap fasteners or
hooks and eyes on your thin dresses.
use a strip of ready-made buttonholes,
which can be bought at any dry goods
store. Sew buttons on one side of the
placket of the garment, and the strip
of buttonholes on the other. This
makes a much heater finish and does
not show through the thin material.
Crocheting edges for the little folks
underwear and nighties, if crocheted
to white cotton tape, will outwear two
sets of garments if one is careful in
laundering. 1t also serves as bind
ing, and can be ripped very easily
when wanted for use again.
The little nickel cases that razor
blades come in make excellent recep-
tacles for the sewing basket. In one
l have white hooks and eyes, in an
ether black ones, in two others black
and white snap fasteners. Still others
| use for tiny buttons removed from
discarded garments or for needles
which become rusted if left in the
paper. With a sharp-pointed instru
ment the cases may be marked indicat
ing what is contained in them, thus
saving time in finding what is wanted

Using The Old Hair Nets.
Conservation is applied to the small
est things. In these days when the
most simple couture requires the fluff
and body given only by padding the
plat of hair as it lies against the
mead, the average girl will find it
more satisfactory for ordinary pur-
POSES to use her old broken hair nets
than the artificial puff from the hair
dresser. Usually the torn net is at
once discarded. Instead of throwing
away crush into a small mass and
thrust it above the ears before rolling
the hair and thrusting in the pins
This will just give the needed body
and fullness. The net will feel more
comfortable than the ordinary puff

'SOLONS ARE SLOW
Missouri Legislature Unable To

Two WOrkmen's Compensation
Bills In-"Dry" Vote Soon.

jefferson City, Jan. 13.-Owing to
the hardness of many legislators in
returning to the capital from their
homes where -ney went for the week
end, the legislature will not get under
way today. BY agreement, the reso-
luton in ratification of the federal
prohibition amendment which had
been designated for action today will
not be introduced until tomorrow
Development of controversy over
the proposed enactment of a work
mems compensation act already is
manifest. One bill is proposed by the
Missouri Federation of Labor and an
other has been drawn by the employ
ers. Both bills are drawn on the
fundamentals of compensation laws
on the statutes of thirty states but the
proposal OF the bill drawn by the la
Dor interests that risks shall be in
sured by a state fund and in no other
way is opposed by the employers.
Legislative leaders believe it will be
possible to arbitrate the differences.
