PRESIDENT WILL NOT
 BE BACK TILL JUNE
Sails Tomorrow for European
 Peace Conference in Paris

Washington, March 4.--President day on his second trip to Paris for attendance at the peace conference. Accompanied by Mrs. Wilson, he planned to sail from New York to- morrow on the Transport George Washington and was expected to re- main overseas several months, prob ably until early ir June.
 With his desk at the White House cleared of the accumulated work which greeted him upon his arrival q, week ago the president went to the capitol this m orning for last hour conferences with democratic leaders and to sign legislation passed by con- gress at the close of this session..
 From the capitol MT. Wilson was to go direct to his special train, and upon his arrival a New York early tonight was to deliver an address oD the League of Nations at the Metro politan Opera House where former President Taft also was to speak. Afterwards MT. Wilson had an en- gagement to receive the delegation appointed at the recent Irish race conference in Philadelphia to present resolutions asking him to urge at the peace conference freedom for Ireland.
 On their way to New York the president and Mrs Wilson were to stop at Philadelphia for an hour or more to vsit MT Wilson's daughter. Mrs. Francis B. Sayre. The president had requested that his visit be en- tirely informal and consequently no reception was planned by rhiladel phta officials.
 The president and his party will board the George Washington late tonight and the big steamer with her escort of warships will get under way early tomorrow morning. The voyage should not require more than ten days, and the president Is expected to go direct from the French seaport to Paris.

from Connecticut recognition and support.
 Summarizing the progressive cam paign, the report says of the work done:
 "Connectieut has kept her patients supplied with as good food and as many comforts as in times of peace She has increased the capacity or hel saaatoria nearly one-th1rd. She has secured the site for her long-desired seaside sanatorium for her children suffering from bone and glandular tuberculosis. She has increased the fire protection at the sanatoria. She has supplied tuberculosis experts to the draft boards. She has given moral and financial encouragement to the visiting tuberculosis nurses and dis pensaries of the state. She has SUD- | piled factories and schools and so- cieties and newspapers with anti- tuberculosis literature. She has sup piled moving picture films on tuber-
 culosis to the principal theaters of i the state. She has aroused among l the physicians of the state, and. in l fact among all of the thoughtful and 1 large hearted citizens of the state
 such a sympathetic interest in her l campaign against tuberculosis, as ! would not have been possible a few i years ago, and is hardly to be dupli- l cated i'll any other community or this
 or any other country
 ! The report calls attention to the i fact that the closing of the period of two years covered by this report 1 found the Connecticut campaign against tuberculosis suffering, like so many of the states ordinary activi-
 ties, from the paralyzing effects of war and pestilence. It adds:
 The first of these terrible afflictions 1 has now disappeared, but in order to 1 appreciate the importance of the do- 1 ings herein recorded, it is necessary, l in these happier days to rem ember that the war took from our sanatoria 1 more than half of our staff of phy- ! sicians many of our nurses and or l derlies and farmhands, and made ne- cessary the increasing of salaries and
 wages, and the paying of extraordi- , nary prices for food and for construc- ; ltion material, and that the influenza
 epidemic caused us to erect quar-
 antine in all our institutions and in- ! capacitated and even killed nurses, ! kitchen help and patients Bearing i these points in mind, the readers of this report must agree that in the war ! against tuberculosis, Connecticut con-
 tinued ito carry on '
 The commission regards the estab-
 lishment of seaside sanatorium in
 which to treat bone and gland tuber-
 culosis as perhaps it's banner accom-
 plishment for the ESar. Of this suc-
 cessfully executed project, the report says,
 TWO years ago Connecticut had ! evidently become aroused on this sulb- | ject. It then seemed to be the unan-
 imous opinion that an institution ot

bill was introduced in the general as sembly asking for an appropriation of s12s.0oo for this purpose. The bill was favoreblv reported by the com mittee on humane institutions, but when f. came to the committee on ap- propriations the demands of the state for money were so great that this committee did not feel justified in drawing so largely upon the state treasury for a new enterprise; conse- ouentlv the amount was cut down to S35,Oo0. To carry out the wishes of the state expressed by this appropria- ton, this commission continued it's search for a suitable location for such an institution and finally purchased the so-cal]ed White Beach hotel property at Crescent Beach, in the town of East Lyme. for the sum of $12, 900. This property has an attrac- tive beach. is well removed from the thickly settled portion occupied by summer residents, and consists of the hotel building with about 30 rooms, substantially finished besides two acres of land, a small summer cot tage and outbuildings. With the ad- dition of a heating plant and some changes and repairs in the water and sewage systems, the property will be well adapted for 8. small institution of the kind desired. A much larger appropriation is necessary, however, II the state is to accomplish what we believe 1t desires to do and what other states bout us are doing for their children crippled with bone and glandular tuberculosis. Adequate pro- vision should be made for the equip m ent and ma mantenance of such an in- stitution.
 The last Interna tional Tuberculosis congress, after discussing the subject at great length, passed the followin 2 resolution: Tn the view of the need bercuiosis in special sanatoria, and in view of the success of the seaside treatment of surgical tuberculosis. this congress solennly resolves Genet le voeu) that there should be provided for cases of surgical tuberculosis, par ticularly for surgical tuberculosis in children, special sanatoria, on the sea coast, and that the building of these seaside sana,toria should be done on as large scale as possible, and with as little delay as possible

DON'T FORGET TO
 FILE TAX RETURN
March 15 Is Last Day This Can
 Be Done

With the passage of the new rev. enue bill the problem of making out an income tax return for 1918 is pre- sented to millions of taxpayers.
 Last year the taxpayer had to keep in mind the provisions of the 1916 and 1917 acts, both of which were effec- tive. This year he has only one law to consider. The new revenue bill, however, contains a number of inn portant changes. with which, in order fully to comply with the law, tax payers must acquaint themselves.
 Probably the most mportant change affecting individuals is the rate, the exemptions of $1,o00 for single per- sons and s2,o0o for married persons and heads of families remaining the same as under the 1917 act. The nor nal rate of tax under the new act Is six per cent, on the first $4,OO0 of net income above the exemptions and 12 per cent. on the remaining net in come. This applies to every citizen and resident of the United States. Alien non-residents of the United States having property here are taxed on the income from that property to the full 12 per cent. of the norm al Io1A' Il oI Lp dliu oubStdu6lL years the rates are fixed at and per cent. respectively. Under the 1917 act the normal rate was , per cent on net income in excess of the ex- emptions.
 The new bill provides an exemption of $20O for each person dependent upon the taxpayer for chief support, If such person is under eighteen years of age, or incapable of self-support Under the 1917 act the $200 exemption was granted only for each child of the person making the return, or when the return was made by the head of a family. A head of a family is one who family. A head of a amily is one who supports one or more persons closely connected with him by blood relation ship, relationship by marriage or adoption.
 The period for filing ends March 15. The tax may be paid in full at the tim 6 of filing the return, or in four in stallments, the first of which is due on or before March 15, the second on or before June Is, the third on or be- fore September Is and the fourth on or before December 15
 Heavy penalties are provided for persons who fail or "wilfully refuse'' to file their return and pay the tax within the time specified by law. For failure to file a return the penalty is 8 fine of not more than s1,000 and an additional assessment of 25 per cent. l of the amount of the tax. For will l fully refusing" to make a return the ] penalty is fine of not more than ] $1O,000, or one year imprisonment, or 1 both. 4 similar penalty is provide 1 for making a fraudulent return, and ! in addition, an assessm ent of 50 per 1 cent. of the amount due. Persons 1 who fail to pay the tax when due are l subject to a fine of not more than l ,oeo an an assessment of per cent
 of the amount unpaid, plus i per cent 1 interest for each full month during
 which 1t remains unpaid.
 l Forms for making returns may be
 obtained from offices of collectors oi
 internal revenue. Taxpayers with in.
 come of less than s5,0oO should asl for Form 1o4o-A. Those with incomes l of more than s5.ooo should ask fol Form 1o4o.
