RAIDING HE REDS

Apparently tae machinery Of the government has been set in motion throughout the country for the pur- pose or putting an end to the activi- lies of those who have been silently and openly at work in advocacy. of the overthrow of OUT government. It has taken a long time to get this started and to overcome the idea that such people should not be tolerated in their Dangerous efforts.
 Among the thousands who have been rounded up t will not be surprising if 1 considerable number are released for one reason or another since it can fc realized, as has been shown in one case where a gathering of men called 1Gr legitimate business purposes but in a hall where radicals had been holding forth, that mistakes can be made Again it is probable that many will be turned over 10 state authori- Mes for punishment or that the cases ,1iil be within the province of the fed cral court as might be expected in ease those caught in the net were cit irens. but where the aliens are caught in this defiance of law and order to inc degree where they are a menace to the nation too prompt measures cannot be taken for their deporta- lion
 It is an expensive job corra1ing and feDorting such people but 1t is the cheapest method in the end. There is no place for them in this country. We cannot afford to permit them to con- tinus their work unmolested for they are aiming at the destruction of the very foundation Of the nation when ttey attack our institutions and gov- ernment and the quicker such a dan- ge-ous element can be gathered in and placed where they belong the better it VII be for the country.
 There have been scattered raids on previous occasions as the result of which some of the undesirabIes have been removed but the widespread character of the latest move indicates a realization of the seriousness of not checking their operations. There should be no holdup until all Of the dangerous radicals are under arrest or until ali those who ought to be and caz be are deported-

TO SOFTEN THE NECK LINE

The colfarless tunic blouse of the moment demands something in the way of a necklace or a string of beads t4 break a. too severe neck line. With simple morning blouses of dimity or handkerchief linen the lorgnette, rib bon is worn, and if one does not pos- sess or need lorEnette, locket or charm may be swung from the ribbon bck moire Or gros grain ribbon about half an inch wide is smarter your black lorgnette ribbon must be passed around the neck, swinging be- tween the blouse fronts, instead of being passed under the blouse collar Worn around the neck the black rib- bon makes longer and narrower loop than it did passed beneath the col lar.
 Bead necklaces are rather long also, to give this long narraw loop on tn bodice front. Some womne have half dozen of these necl1la ces, for tn color is the important thing in adding a string of beads to a costume. Jet bead necklaces are smart with aii- white costumes and there seems to be P special vogue for bright red neck laces. A very pretty string has blue wooden beads strung on slender gold links, the beads widely separated and in different sizes. Another necklace is Of victory red beads with gold fila gree beads between them on a chain of fine gold links A dainty necklace is made of apple green glass cabu- chons, square in shape, alternating with groups Of pear shaped cabu- chons, the square ones much larger than the beads in pear shaped cut,

 When salad dressing is liable to curdle a small pinch of soda dropped ill will prevent it from doing so.
 To keep doughnuts from burning drop a piece of raw potato in the burning fat and you will have no troubIe with them. For mending hard substances like metal or glass there is nothing more satisfactory than melted alum. Simply melt the alum over an intense heat, and apply while hot.

If the unions want to fight they can have it.

FANCY MATERIALS TABOO.

Both the dress goods and the SIX mills have quite decided to stick to staple and semi staple materials for some months to come. The reassn for this is that conditions are consid- cred too abnormal to warrant making goods that might depreciate cons-d- erably if there was a sudden change in the situation. The manufacturers m both lines seem content to let the fancy and novelty business go to English and French houses, despite the possible loss in prestige that may result. But 1t is also believed that the import Lines will not gain so much ground until the manufacturers abroad have an opportunity to settle bask to olG production lines.

 What the outcome will be even if peace is signed remains to be seen. The bolsheviki, knew that Esthonia desired peace and what it demanded was little in such a big country in comparison with the elimination of one opponent and the opening up of peace. Later on 1t might not take much of an effort if the spirit moved to eat up that Ht1e country, but just at present 1t is bound to have con- siderable influence upon peace nego- tiations with other provinces and par ticularly so with the breaking down of anti bolshevik commanders. Esthonia has apparently made it possible to in crease the peace talk on the part of the soviet government which has been anxious to get negotiations underway for considerable time.

A WILD RUMoR.

Just what the object of the naming Of Niscount Grey as the special an- bassador Of Great Britain to this country was has not been disclosed, except that it was desired to have one Of it's strongest men look after it's af- fairs in connection with this govern ment as the result of the develop ments following the war and the mat ters pertaining to the treaty of peace. But whatever it was it did not sue ceed through no fault of the ambas- sador's and he has returned home.
 But that has not prevented one story coming out Of Washington to a New York paper to the effect that the special ambassador came here for the purpose of getting the support of the administration for loan of S13 .00O.- 000,000 Or four billion more than was loaned 10 the allies during the war, and that he was successful in his quest That such a report should be denied and called absurd is not sur pIising. It should be realized that much more than the administration support would be required in order to
 put through any such loan. It would rest with congress to sanction any such proposition so that it would mako little difference with conditions as they are whether the approval of the administration was secured or not Even if it had been his object to get the administrations support oi such plan it could hardly be accom- plished without seeing the president and this Yiscount Grey was unable tc

this is the first. telling how to. make out an income tax return Tor III when and where to file 1t. and what do in case you meet with ufluSual uI faculties. By making note of the IT formation contained therein. it Is De Iieved that most of the difIleulties heretofore encountered may be aveid- ed.
 Change in Normal Rate.
 Probably the most important change affecting the average taxpayers is in the normal rate. the exemptions of S1. 900 for single persons and $2,000 for married persons and heads of families remaining the same as for la1S. The normal rate for 1919 is i per cent on the first s4 006 of net income above the exemptions and s per cent. on the remaining net income. The normal rate for 1918 was and F per cent, respectively. This applies to every citizen and resident of the United States. Alien non-residents receiving income from sources within the United States are taxed to the full per cent. on the income from such sources.
 The surtax rates which range from i per cent. on the amount of net in come between s 600 and *6 900 to 65 r,e,.- ce1f e1, 4'o --~4--+ -f = -----7a in excess of $f,o0o, ,o00, remain unchanged May Pay ia instal.men1s. The tax, as in 1919, may be paid in full at the time of filing the return, or in four instaHnents. the first of which is due on or before March 15, the sec ond on or before June 1a the third on or before Sept 5. and the fourth on or Haeo~o TN-o H-+A '1Sta1l- ment must accompany the filing of u retursl. is from Jan. 1 to March 15. Heavy penalties are provided for persons who fail or swilftIfy refuse to file their return and pay the tax within the time pre- seribed.
 Forms for making returns may be obtained from, offices of collectors of l internal reveuue and deputy collectors postofffees and hansk. If your income i fer 1919 was s5.o09 or less. ask for ! Form 1o46A If it was more than ! S5, GOO, ask for Form 1940. Returns
 must be filed with the cellecter Of i~- terna1 revenue for the district i'7 which l the tavnaver lives or has his principa i place of business.

INCOME TAX FACTS
 YOU SHOULD KNOW

Were you one of thousands of per- sons who last year, with unquestioned honesty of purpose, filed an incorrect income tax return? Are you. or have you been,, a claimant for refund of tax es overpaid? Have you been called upon by the bureau of internal revenue for payment of amounts owed the gov ernment through inadvertence or omis- sions in making out your income tax form? To sum it up. have you ex- perienced trouble of any kind in filing your income tax return for 1918?
 If so, this is written for your benefit and for the benefit of more than 3000, 900 taxpayers who. on or before March Is, will file income tax returns for the year 1919. It is certain percentage of these returns will be incorrect. It is equally certain that the percentage of errors may he largely reduced if taxpayers will acquaint themselves with the income tax provisions of the act of Feb. 24. 1919, known as the revenue act of 1918, which provides for the collection of taxes for the year 1919 and subsequent years
