Income Tax Facts Worth knowing

many instances. whether his income
Is taxable or nontaxabie.
A head of . family is defined by
Treasury regulation A. "a person
who actually supports and main.
tains one or more individuals who
are closely connected with him by
blood relationship. Relationship by
marriage, or by adoption. and whose
right to exercise family control and
provide for these dependents Is
based upon some moral or legal OBJ
legation" A single person Is the
head OF a family II he Is the sole
support of relatives living in the
same house with him and II he ex-
ercises control of household affairs.
The words sole support" are used
in the sense that there isNno other
person to whom the dependents may
look for support. Income from
other sources, such as interest on
bonds, stock dividends. pensions,
etc, IL meagre enough still to leave
the recipient dependent. does not
preclude q claim for exemption.

Twenty thousand persons last
year paid fine of IS each for fall
ure to file an income-tax return for
1913, although their income for that
year was not taxable.
The revenue act provides an ex-
emption OF $1,000 for single persons.
$4,000 for married persons and heads
of families, and an additional ex-
emption OF $500 for each person de-
pendent upon the taxpayer, IL such
person is under IS years Of age, or
incapable Of self-support. The de-
linquents last year were persons
whose income exactly equaled the
amount of the exemptions and who
considered 1t unnecessary, there
fore. to file a return and others
whose income was nontaxable be-
cause of dependents. and who were
under a similar mistaken impress
sion.
For example. a single man with a
net income of 5000 was support
ing a sister for whom he was al
lowed an exemption of $500. placing
his income in the nontaxable list.
For this reason he did not nle a
return. When his delinquency was
discovered through a return filed by
his employer. who Is required~to re-
port payments OF $1,000 or more to
each employee. he was fined IS.
Must File n Return.
To avoid penalty. every person
whose income for the last year
equaled or exceeded $1,000, or ST.
900. according to their MARTA
status or their status as the head
OF n family, must file a return. The
law makes no exceptions, the PEN
atty for failure being q fine Of not
more than $1,000.
Head Of q Family.
Whether or not a person Is the
head of family and entitled to a
$4,000 exemption Is q question to be
determined largely by circumstances
surrounding each individual case

Mabel Normand and Marie Walcamp
Saturday

Irrepressible Ma bel Normand has broken
out again! Proof of the outbreak is found
in "The Pest" and evidence of the spright-
ly condolences high spirits will be en-
ioyed when the new Goldwyn Picture
comes Saturday.
AS the fun-loving farmhouse drudge,
Mabel Normand is at her best-perpe-
traitor of hundred practical jokes, al
ways in a dreadful, but perfectly logical
scrape, and the center of charming ro-
nance. Easily she surpasses herself as

Replete with novelty as s the entire
production, there is something viii h will
come as complete surprise even from
Mabel Normand. In one episode she is
seen as the tender of ferry. 1t crosses
a narrow river and it is the task of Puck
ers to steer the craft to safety. 1t goes
without saying that great deal of up
roarlous entertainment comes from the
accidents that befall the hoyden's pat

Alice Brady, Thursday

In a gorgeous jewelled costume beauti-
full Alice Brady does most striking Ori-
entail dance in her latest Select Picture,
"Redhead," which comes on Thursday.
Miss Brady is a dancer as well as a
screen star and stage celebrity, which
she gives film patrons an excellent oppor-
tunity to discover in this latest picture
Clad in one of the most beautiful dancing
costumes ever seen on the screen (or ofD
she goes through series of weird, orien-
tai movements with all the languid grace
of which she capable Her costume of
jewelled spangles, consisting of breast
plate and full skirt slashe1 to the knee,
accentuates the beauty of her form and
the litheness of her movements.
"Redhead" is one of the best pictures
Miss Brady has appeared in for some time.
1t affords her an excellent role for which
she is we'll adapted-that of cabaret
girl, who marries a son of the idle rich
one night when he is under the influence
of liquor. She soon regrets her mistake.
Her life is hard one, full of the petty
cares which household is bound to as
sumo especially when there is very little
money in it and the lord of the house is
determined to dislike his lady. But every
cloud has silver lining and well-see

Corinne Griffith. Eriday

Clyde Fitch's great drama "The Climb
ers" is the attraction for Friday. The
New York Review says: ga fine play in
the original, it looms up as one of the best
pictures of the season. The sponsors have
kept its vital parts intact and have fur
thermore brought out its message In
deed, there is food for thought in this
play There is not only a moral but it is
unusually we'll fortified with plot and
characterization, Mr.. Fitch knew his
dramatic attitudes and he could strike
them off for their full value. 1t is well
that his ideas are carried on by so able a
director as Tom Terriss. You could say
that the picture is director proof, yet had
Mr.. Terriss failed to take advantage of
its high lights it would have reached US
as a mediocre achievement. His deft
touch has made it sparkle with vitality
The author usually wrote with his tongue
in his cheek and his gift for a satirical
turn has been appreciated by the director.
And where could you find a more suitable
actress to interpret its whimsicalities
than Corr1ne Griffith? She steps into
Amelia Bingham's shoes with authority
and understanding. She brings frag-
rant personality to the role-an ariStoc-
racy of breeding, a charm OF manner that
vitaliZes the whole play.
And the latest epi ode of "Perils of
Thunder Mountain," with Antonio Mo
reno will also be included.

Emeralds Most Costly

In the interfnational gem markets eneralds have recently become the rarest and most expensive of precious stanes The diamond has taken second place mad emeralds in London are bringing as high as s3.500 a carat. This is because the emerald mines of Colombia, which fur nish '95 per cent. of the worlds supply of green jewels, have not been working for seven years.
 It is 100 generations since the eme- raid held first place among gems. The ancients thought it had occult powers particularly for healing diseases of the eyes.
 Nero, when he sat in his marble grand stand and watched gladiators fight lions in the arean wore and eyeglass with an emerald lens.
 Pliny who wrate a Roman encyclo- pedia 2,e0O years ago told of a statue of a lion in Cypress. It had emeralds for eyes, so brilliant that they scared the fish.
 The wearing of most gems signifies little more than what scientists call the '-pecuniary honorife"--the desire to dis play ability to pay. But the emerald as coveted stone is an emblem of civiliza- tion Efheralds are so noteriously i'm perfect that the comrnon expression, "as ffawless as an emerald is the last pos sible word in compliment. The rivalry for perfect eneralds reflects mans incessant desire to attain perfection.-Des Moines News

South Sea Islands, great numbers of cocoanuts are grown, and after being dried for copra. are shipped n large quantities to Europe. We are much interested in the different methods of gathering the nuts in various islands. In Tahiti the natives climb the trees with the help of a strip of green fi- brous bark torn off the stem of hi- biseus tree. After knotting the two ends together, the climber slips his feet half through the circle and standing with his legs apart, so as to stretch the thong tight, ascends the tree in a series of leaps, with a foot on each side of the trunk. A practiced climber will thus mount trees of very con siderable height with a celerity and ease which do not suggest the long practice actually required. On making Ia trial myself. I found it difficult to climb even so much as a foct from the ground.
 "In it's fresh green state the cocoa nut provides most refreshing drink, but as it grows older the milk hardens and forms the white inner rind with which we are all familiar. This is the celebrated copra and is ceTnmer- Icially put to many different uses. In Tahiti it is used for sauces and for cocoanut oil. One sauce, which was served with fish at very enjoyable picnic, although compounded of scrap nut and sea water, as palatable. Patches that decorate the trousers of a calamity howler are not on the knees.
