! am not working for that | am GER
tain that the country is ripe for drastic
drink reforms, and ] want TO see that
the drink submarine does not torpedo
the Prime Minister, an d that he is mas
ter in his own house"
Cheers and laughter greeted this
sally. Vigorously attacking Rees and
his supporters and accusing them of
constantly kicking during the past years
against the drink control board, she ex-
claimed amid cheers: What did they
do during the great war2 Had they
not pretty record2'
Lady Astor concluded with fervent
appeal for reform, saying: Drink prom

j beg the House not 90 look upon me rs
either crank or lunatic, because ]

BRIDE AND GROOM MUST REPORT.
If Marriage Occurred Before December
81. 1919. Both Must File Returns.

Brldgegrooms are worrying as to how
they shall figure their income tax, 4 con-
stant stream OF inquiries from the newly
weds is reaching tho Internal Revenue
officials. In many of these cases both the
bride and groom were employed up To the
wedding date; and the principal point on
which advice is asked is as Ia whether the
brides income must be shown on the
grooms return.
The answer given by the Internal
Revenue men Is that all Of the earnings
and other income of both the bride and
the groom for the year 1919 must be con
eidered, even IL il was all spent on trous-
seau, diamonds, wedding trips and bon
hons. The fact that they were married
on or before December 3 joins them for
the whole year, So far as income tax rs
concerned

up her income and to add IL Go hubby
1910 earnings 90 determine whe ther an
income tax return is required. II the total
was $1,000 or more, a return must be
made, IN which case both bride and groom
may file separate returns; or must file a
Joint ntreturn. The lRttermethod is preferred
by the collectors, unless the aggregate net
income Of both husband and wife is
$1,000 or over.
And they all want to know whether.
although married only part Of the year
1910, they are entitled To- claim full oxemp-
ton as a married couple. The answer Is a
decided yes; they are allowed $1,000,
plus 5000 for each dependent who is under
Is or who. through age. defect. etc. Is
incapable OF self support. This exemption
may be split III any proportions on tho
separate returns Of husband and wife.
ii they file that way.
And remember that March 10, is the
final date for filing returns and paying
Income Taxes" Is the warning that the
revenue men add To the above advice.

on the tomatoes in her garden last season

Aged Mother S Pleas to
Save Son From Return
To Boys School Fail

Roy 'Keiiy's aged mother pleaded
long with Fred Wallace, assistant
superintendent of the Kearney In
dustrial school, in juvenile court yes
terday, begging him not to take Roy
back to kearney, but in vain. Roy
became famous by eluding the eff
forts of Omaha police to arrest him
for months last fall. Pleas by Mrs.
Kelly and her daughter to Juvenile
Judge Sears also were frmtless. g.
Roy's court career started in 1918
when he was II years old. He was
hailed into juvenile court at various
times for alleged stealing, crap
shooting, cigaret smoking and tru-
ancy. He was finally sent to the
kearney Industrial school in Au-
gust, 1917. There his conduct was
SO exemplary that he was given his
release in nine months though it
usually takes boys at least Is
months to secure their release un-
der the merit system.
Mr.. Wallace left yesterday after
no,n with Roy and three other boys
for kearney.

OFTEN TARGET FOR
BURGLAR BULLETS
Needs Patience of Job and
Portion of Soiomon's
Wisdom.

Somebody has remarked that real
policemen are born to be policemen;
that,somewhere back in the dim past
their forebears were policemen,
night watchmen, members of the
morals squad or something of that
nature. That may be a little far
fetched, but it serves to illustrate
the fact that making good as a po-
liceman is not the easiest task in fhe
world, not as easy as popular opin-
ion would indicate.
If you are endowed with certain
physical and mental qualities, you
may pass muster for job as con-
servator of the peace. And if yeu
are willing to be a target for the
bullets Of highwaymen, highjackers
and others who are against the Or
derby arrangement of property
rights, then you may enjoy the life
and live to appear as "one of the
finest"
The ideal policeman is brave,
courteous and feet of foot; can
shoot Ike Bill Hart, withstand the
rigors of heat and cold, and has the
patience of Job. He also has some
thing of the wisdom of Solomon.
Should Keep His Head.
Paraphrasing the lines of Kipling,
the policeman is supposed to keep
his mead when those about him are
losing theirs. Occasionally police
man may lose his head, figuratively
and literally, as the case may be;
but as rule he dominates the situ-
alton and he carries certain equip
ment with which to impress his
authority when extreme measures
are necessary.
There comes the laww exclaim-
ed the law breaker when a police
man entered to quell disturbance.
The policeman is the personihca-
ton of the law, a walking delegate,
as it were, and he may even have a
prophetic soul. now and then. He
is sworn to uphold the peace and
dignity Of his community. He has
been the object OF more or less
criticism, some real and much fan
cied.
Tell your troubles to a police
man." is an expression as old as Joe
Miller's joke book. "You never find

Liquor, Says Dry Leader

Omaha and other Nebraska drug
gists never will have chance to
supply whisky to the sick and
thirsty, declared F. A. High, acting
superintendent of sthe Anti-Saloon

The declaration followed Mr..
Highs return from a conference at
Lincoln, where, he said, plans were
made to carry the Nebraska squab-
Bile over drug store liquor sales
direct to the United States internal
revenue commissioner at Washing
ton. The Anti-Saloon league expects
to obtain a Washington ruling that
federal laws permitting liquor sales
for medicinal. purposes shall not be
enforced in states having laws
against such sales.
But, if we can't get such de-
cision we intend to force the arrest
of every Nebraska druggist to whom
a liquor selling permit is issued"
Mr.. High asserted
