FRIENDS BEAT ST. LUKE.s.


1T. Jtike's Preparatory School of
Wayne, Pa, threw a scare into the VIII
rnington Friends School basketball sggrc-
CATION yesterday afternoon. This team
was easily defeated by tho local team
earlier In the season At Wayne, but has
shown great Improvement. They have
won the last five games played. Friends
began the game without H. Smith, the
big center, who had been detained 10
make mp school work Mode wss shifted
TO center and Bradford substituted at
forward. Bradford has lately been CON
fined to the house on account Of illness
and WAS not in the best condition 10 play.
In spite Of this he put up the gamest Of
fights, scored two baskets and kept
the fast Gonzaleg from scoring when he
was shifted 10 guard. Gonzalez, Of the
Wayne team, was n marvel Of speed and
endurance and Chambers, who guarded
him, was completely outdistanced and
outplayed. However, he played q hard
and creditable game and fought stub
bornly against one Of the best forwards
who have opposed Friends this year
During the first half Gonzalez scored four
baskets. Al half time st. Luke's led by
score Of Ia to ~. After the intermigsion
III. Smith, who had now made his appear
ance in uniform was put back in his usual
position and the old line up with Bradford
ut guard began 10 roll up the score.
Gonzalez failed 70 score in this half and
was replaced by VIM who likewise was
held scoreless, and the game ended
~ 10 u in favor Of the Q1akers Sterl-
ing, who. substituted for Bradford in
about the middle Of the second half
played an excellent guard game. Lackey
and Mode were not up 10 their usual
standard; in fact the whole team seemed
10 miss the presence Of the pivot man and
passed wildly and shot inaecuratSly
Their game improved somewhat in the
second half but they did not seem 20
overcome the handicap Of bad start
Lackey WIS effective as usual from the
Is II. mark scoring - out Of II trials
The local team will play Swathmore High
School on Tuesday afternoon, at $40.
This will be the big game Of the season.

Return Must be Made by March Is and
All Family Revenue Must be Included.

The following income tax facts you
should know, says Collector Graham
Numerous inquiries are received by
collectors of internal revenue concerning
the income tax in it's relation to the COM
bined net income Of husband and wife.
Occasionally these questions indicate that
there is in the mind OF the taxpayer the
impression that income received by the
husband if turned over to the wife may
be regarded as gift and therefore is not
taxable. Such, however, is not the case.
If the combined income Of husband and
wife for the year 1919 equaled or exceed
cd $1,000, n return must be filed on or
before March 10, 1920. The combined net
income of husband and wife in excess Of
$4,000 is taxable. The law provides also
that the income of minor dependent
children must be included in the return
of the parent
For example, husbands net income
for 1920 was 1900 His wife, employed
as eeamstress, received from such work
net income OF $500. Two minor sons, de-
pendent upon their parents each received
$500 as messengers. The total family
income was 81, 700, from which may he
deducted the personal exemption of 81, 900
plus 5000 for each dependent son, leaving
taxable income of 5000, on which the
normal rate of 4 per cent, the tax, is sl2.

TO LOCATE AT HOPEWELL.
Steel Products, Inc, VIII Estab-
lish n Plant There.

The Mayhem Steel Products, Incor-
porated, with main offices at POI Broad
way, New York, manufacturers of me-
chanics hand tools and automobile tool
kits, has closed negotiations for plant
site Mt Hopewell, Virginia. The announce
ment was made this morning by the
du Pont Chemical Co. The site taken by
the company comprises 10 acres OF ground
and on it will be erected modern struc-
tural steel building. The new plant when
completed will manufacture exclusively
plyers and wrenches, and will employ
approximately 100 skilled mechanics.
Ground for the new building will be
broken within a month, and il is expected
that operations will begin about July
next. The Mayhem Steel Products Co.
now has plants at Shelburn Falls, Mas
sachusetts. They have been in business
since 1856. The company made the de-
cision TO go TO Hopeweil because Of the
favorable freight rates there on raw ma
terial from the steel mills and In order
TO furnish their finished products TO the
middle west and southern points are
cheaper rates than from their other plants.
The complete and modern housing
situation and welfare facilities make 1T
certain that the employees of the new
plant will find comfortable homes at
modern prices. The low power rates are
also an important factor IN production.

EXTEND NEAR
EAST CAMPAIGN
Solicitation to Continue Two More
Days, Ending on
Wednesday.

Because il WAS found impossible to
properly cover the city within the time
planned for the Near East Relief campaign
it was decided today to continue the drive
two additional days, instead OF closing il
on Monday, it will run on until and in
Guiding Wednesday. Because Of tho
great amount of sickness that has kept
workers from participating as actively
as was expected and other embarrass-
ments which the campaign has been under
the field has not been canvassed as it
should.
The workers have been directed to do
everything possible they can to reach
those who have not been appealed to and
to close the campaign by Wednesday Of
next week.
This morning proved the most comfort
able one of the week so far as weather
conditions went for the workers And
they began the days soliciting AS cheer
fully as though the campaign quota was
practically assured, instead of being many
thousands short of the desired amount.
Among the reports received by mail
today was one from j. Emory Chapman
head of the Delmar schools. He sent a
check for $3.50.
A check was also received from the du-
Pont school the pupils of which contribut-
ed 5000.
Among the larger contributions to date
was one for 5000 from William NJ. Blatz
who is adopting ten orphans through this
contribution.
There was no meeting or luncheon today
and the next meeting for the making Of
reports will be Monday at noon. As the
plans arc now made, the closing meeting
will be held on Wednesday at noon.
