SUMMER CUSHIONS.

Cushions are a summer, as well as a
winter, household furnishing Of import
ance. In winter they make the house seem
warmer and cosier. In summer they make
il seem airier and cooler.
That Is to say, cushions are capable Of
being treated according TO the season. If
they are covered properly in the summer,
they emphasize the sunmeriness Of things.
This means, Of course, that IL is sometimes
impossible TO use the winter cushions for
summer. But the only thing you need 70
change is the cover. You can have one set
Of summer sofa-cushion covers and another
set of winter ones. Then each spring you
can take off the winter ones, clean them,
and put them away with the other winter
things. Each autumn you can follow the
same procedure with tho summer covers.
When either sort of cushion is worn out,
you can discard it at the change Of the
seasons and get something new. In that
way you will keep your cushions always
in order and always seasonable. In the
long run it really costs less 10 have two
sets Of cushions in this way For many Of
the winter coverings are utterly spoiled by
summer use on the veranda or in the
garden.
Gingham is a charming summer cushion
covering. Big plaids or small checks are
best, although even stripes may be used
successfully II may be that before long.

with buriap or other stout fabric that

GOOD HOUSEKEEPING.

SPRING CLEANING.

1
At this season Of the year we want tt
| fTeshen and purify our homes by letting
in rs much Of the fresh outdoors as we can
and by moving out into the sunshine and
wind everything that can possibly be
moved. That is what spring cleaning
! ought to mean--a sun and wind bath for
| everything after the long stuffiness of the
| winter.
There should be no need of the old
fashioned domestic upheavals that our
| ancestors insisted upon. That has given
place ts a saner, more efficient, and GER
thinly much cleaner-all- all-the-year-round
method of caring for our homes.
II regular cleaning schedule is followed
throughout the year, taking each room in
turn, "housecleaning time" need not inter
fere with nor greatly elaborate it. The
modern home is kept clean; paint is wash
eel at regular intervals throughout the year /;
walls are wiped down: upholstered fur
niture and heavy draperies, rugs, pillows
and mattresses are kept clean and free
from dust-but in the spring all these
things need o prolonged sun bath, no mat
ter how clean they have been kept. Sun
and wind are the best purifiers we have.
The vacuum cleaner is the agent that
has revolutionized house cleaning. 4
rug that has been properly cleaned with q
vacuum cleaner can be taken out of doors
and beaten in the strenuous old-fashioned
way without giving out any dust The
same Is true Of pillows, mattresses and
draperies

were convinced Germany was already in

was a table laid for dinner
This room was of bluelike sapphire and

Princess Cianna looked around, for she

the Peacock, "and she also has TO gave

CHAPTER !.

1t was one of those rare days-a
light breeze mingled with sunshine to
put plenty Of enthusiasm in one-when
Madge Morris and Ena Ferris alighted
from the daily passenger train at a
little station in Colorado.
'Isn't it grand" said Madge; ''it
makes me feel just as though I want
to shout for JOY"
"Why don't you," said Ena: "there
doesn't appear to be anybody about to
prevent it."
The two girls noted the stage that
was to take them twenty-five miles
across the country to Tampa. They
saw to it that their baggage was
placed safely aboard the rough looking
vehicle and they were anxious for the
stage to be on it's way.
"Where's the driver?" Madge asked
of the station agent.
"WhO, Highland Shortly" responded
the railroad official. "He's in the hos
pital at Denver having a couple of bull
lets removed from his anatomy. He

1t is urged by the internal revenue
bureau that taxpayers obtain their
blanks at once. Failure to have a
blank form at hand for an eleventh
hour return will not relieve a person
of penalty for failure to comply with
the law.
Each form contains instructions for
preparing and filing the return, and
these should be carefully read and
strictly observed.
There is also provided a "work
sheet" which should be used for max
ing the original computations, and
which should be retained and pre-
served by the taxpayer.
Any person who is in doubt on
points affecting his particular case
should bring such matters to the at
tention of the nearest deputy collect
or or revenue agent, who will render
every necessary aid without charge
When the return is completed, it
should be properly executed and i'm
mediately filed. Any internal revenue
officer will administer the necessary
oath without charge.
1t is pointed out that accuracy in
compiling the return is absolutely
necessary. Mere guesses and 'esti-
mates as to income and deductions
should be avoided, and actual facts
and amounts should be set forth. And
this is equally important in consid-
ering the question of whether re-
turn is required.

HERE'S INFORMATION
ON Income TAX FORMS

The federal income tax season
opens today with the distribution of
the forms for personal returns from
the offices of collectors of internal
revenue.
Annual returns covering income for
1919 must he filed on or before March
18th, 1920
The burden of fulfilling this obliga-
tion is laid by law squarely on the
shoulders of those who are American
citizens or residents. Every person
must determine for himself whether
his net income for 1919, figured ac-
cording to the revenue law, was suf-
fcient in amount to require return.
If he is single, return is required
if his net income for 1919 was $1,000
or over. A widow or widower is
classed as single person. A man or
woman living apart from his wife or
husband is also classed as single
person.
If he was married and living with
his wife on Dec. 81, return is required
if his net income for 1919 was $4,000
or over. In his net income he must
include that of his wife and minor
children, if any.
If tax is due on his income, he
must make payment with his return.
This payment may be made in whole
pr in part of the tax due. At least
Dne-quarter of the tax must accom-
pany the return.
The filing and paying must be done
before midnight of March 18th, or he
Is classed as delinquent and is sub
ect to severe penalties.
Two forms are being distributed for
personal returns Form 1040A is in
tended for use by person whose net
ncome does not exceed $5000 a
arger form, 1040, is intended for each
person having a net income in excess
pf $5000 Both of these forms are
low obtainable at internal revenue
offices and at some hanks and post
offices.

What STIMULATES
Love OF GAMBLING

Suppose, says Edward D. Jones,
writing in the Daily News Record
IN. W, that early in 1915 you had
known enough (and that means that
you would have had to have a friend
familiar with the situation who ad-
vised you to do it, TO buy 10 shares of
the common stock of the General
Motors Co. of New Jersey, you would
have had to pay $500 for the 10 shares.
The next year you would have re-
ceived for your 10 shares so shares
of common stock in the present cor
poration which took over the old com
pany.
Now comes another division, or capi-
tai change, by which you will get for
your so shares of common stock 500
shares of common stock.
In just five years you would have SO
times as much General Motors COM
mon as you had when you bought it
early in 1915.
Meantime, you have received in
cash dividends $2,45O and you could
sell your present SO shares Of stock
for $16,800, not waiting for what may
happen to the ten-fold increased stock.
In other words, you put up five years
ago $500 and you could sell out to-
day, including the cash dividends you
have received, for S19,250, or net
profit less five years interest on $500
and your commissions to your broker,
of S18,430.
Some people would call a transac-
ton like this luck, but that is not the
