Income Tax Facts
You Should Know

Aside from the salary which a
clergyman receives during the wear
he must consider as taxable income
the fees received for special sery-
Ices performed for individuals or
organizations. Also, in case he is
furnished with rectory, or living
quarters, the fair rental value of
the accommodations thus provided
must be considered income lust as
truly as though he were paid the
value in cash and expended it for
MS nome or quarters as a personal
expense. If his meals are provided
by the congregation, free of charge
to him, the fair value of such
board is taxable income.
In addition there may be bank
interest, bond interest. and a num-
Der of other kinds of income which
must be considered taxable to a
clergyman. as in the case of the
farmer. business man, and wage
worker.
Many clergymen receive fees for
special services, which may cover
simple recitals of prayers for the
dead, or marriages. christenings,
and other ceremonies and services
which are incident to their calling.
No Tax on Gifts.
Bona-fide gifts are not taxable
under the income tax laws How
ever, there is a clear distinction TO
be made between a fee and a gift.
The annual Christmas Offering to
the pastor. which is a custom in
many parishes, Is purely and simply
a gift. But the Easter collection
for his benefit is considered to be
In the nature of additional compen-
sation for his services to the indi-
viduals contributing.
A clergyman may receive an un-
usually large fee, which might
have the appearance Of a gift. But
If that fee was in consideration of
the performance of some service
the Offering must be considered
taxable income

THE LOUDEST NOISE

A bragger boasts OF what be,.
done and tells of big successe,
won: no pleasure is to him so
fair as blowing off the good
hot air.
He holds himself in high esteem
and has concluded, il wouId
seem, that life Is full of extrn
joys for him who makes the
loudest noise.
But he Is wrong in feeling thus
there is no credit due a cuss
whose biggest asset is to brag
and chew the self-sufficient rag.
He cuts a figure that is punk
who deals in such a line of bunk
for people here are Keeping
tab on good results instead Of
CAB.
So -bragger talks and brags a
hcap-but talk is looked upon
as cheap. and folks are much
inclined to bet that he has
never done much yet.

Bailifr A. ]. SANFORD of the Po-
lice Court is friend of Senator
FURNIFOLD NJ. SIMMONS of North
Carolina. He told of an instance fol-
lowing the erection Of n court house
i'm what Is known as 1.-The black belt
of North Carolina. At a mass meet
ing of cOlored folks a noted negro
minister was the speaker. In calling
attention to the new court building
he said:
Senator Simmons has great in
fiuence at Washington. When he
wanted the court house he just told
Mister Wilson and he ordered just
the kind of a building the Senator
wanted. Then he told the President
he wanted a nice macadamized road
leading to and from the court house
and Mister Wilson ordered the road
built and you all got a job working
on it, Now. brethren. if Senator Sim
mons was to ask Mister Wilson to
put you all back into slavery tomor-
row. Mister Wilson would do 1t, just
to oblige Senator Simmons
Mr.. Sanford said at the election
that followed few days later the
colored people in the black belt cut
the Simmons ticket woefully for fear
he might take a notion TO enslave
them again.

Says Jobbers, Not Retailers, Cause
High Prices.

"We have the same feeling TO-
wards producers generally and also
towards retailers. We are gradu-
ally putting the retailers out OF
business, but we don't want to.
They are not the greatest prof.
teers. This distinction goes to the
jobbers, and there lies the main
trouble. If jobbers should not fig
ure some wholesaler makes extor-
tionate profits. 1 know, because
have had dealings with all of them.
IN Philadelphia, for example,
discovered that as many as tweive
vas gloves. Five separate jjobbers
took profits out of the yarn which
went into the cloth. That is the
reason why the average worker
pays 10 cents for an inferior quality
while our members get the best for
25 cents or less"
In this connection, although Mr..
Trask did not feel like discussing
the details, II is known that the or
ganization has made arrangements
with a big plantation In the South
for all the cotton needed In the sew
eral factories. There will be no
middleman who will, get farthing
out of anything from the raw prod

Keeping out the jobbers'' is the
secret of low prices" said Mr.
Trask. I'm time we hope to manu-
ufacture everything our members
need and they will get it at cost.

 was about to get into bed, had turned out the light, in fact, when I recalled the errand that had led me to open the wall safe. I had more than two hundred dollars in my trousers pocket and I purposed putting it where it would be safe With the feeling that if the jewels had disap- peared, so might my money, pressed the light button in the sitting room and looked about for hiding place. Recalling a custom of my mothers, stepped over to the bookcase and talk ing Maeaulay's History, Volume Three, from the shelf, placed between the leaves all of my money except fifteen dollars. No burglar was likely to find It there.
 extinguished the light and in the darkness stepped back into my bed room, and stopped stock still.
 From somewhere in the room there came three distinct taps. Instinctive- ly I crouched in an attitude of self defense and strained my ears to listen. My first impression was that there was someone in the room, probably the burglar I hesitated about turn ing on the light. If he were armed it would give him all the advantage.
 Breathlessly I listened. Once more there came three distinct raps. this time apparently from somewhere out side the room. I wondered if 1t had been sounds like these that had so ter rified the old couple.
 Perhaps 1t was the echo of someone pounding in another apartment the noise being carried along by water pipe. The thought that it might be the cracking of some hidden steam or refrigerating pipe suggested itself. Both these theories I rejected. The sound, whatever it was, had originated close at hand.
 1t came again. This time I was cer- tain that it was not due to footballs as I had at first conjectured. I was able, too, to locate more closely the direction from which 1t came. The window at the foot of the bed stood open and the sound seemed to float In from somewhere outside. I hurried over to the window and thrust my head out At first I could see noth- ing, but even as I looked a white arm

 1 fell asleep at last and slept for do not know how long. Opening my eyes in the darkness I seemed to feel the presence of someone in the room. There was the sound of footballs some where untitled, seemingly some dis tance off. I was almost certain I could detect muttered worlds In a curious detached state of mind I list ened. wondering whether I was awake or asleep. The footsteps seemed to come closer, then recede. The whis- pering noise ceased. I sprang up, and hastily lighting up all the rooms, ex- plored them thoroughly. There was no evidence anywhere of anyone's presence. As I lay there thinking about it, I decided that my illusion must have been a dream, due to my thought of spirit rappings when I first had heard Miss Bradford's signal.
 was still thinking about my expe- rience when I awoke early the next morning springing lightly out of bed, l stopped in utter bewilderment There, in the center of the room on the floor lay small white folded slip of paper. It could not have been a dream, after all. I had heard foot steps and whispers. I had not imag- ined it. Someone had been in the room while I slept. There was the proof. the note they had dropped
 Wondering if Miss Bradford had found still another unusual way of communicating with me I hastened to pick up the folded paper that lay on the floor On the outside it bore my name, in typewriting, "AIr. Spalding Nelson.'
 With eager fingers I unfolded the paper, wondering what message it con tained. AS I read it, I stood there, aghast. It ran:
 Why didn't you tell the police about tue pearls?"

thrust forth from an adjacent window on the same floor It held a riding crop and reaching out as far as was possible it rapped three times on the sill of my window.
 It dawned on me at once that the window next must belong to the Brad ford apartment. It must be Miss Bradford trying to signal to me-
 'Hello," called out softly.
 "Oh, is that you. Mir. Nelson?' a re- lieved voice whispered. q thought you would never hear. I must see you"

 Whether or not she heard me I did not know. She withdrew quickly from the room as if someone had en- tered. waited there in the window for a full hour in case she should wish 10 communicate with me again.

RTOW that May and June are not IN far off, the world is full of talk about graduation dresses. It is bug zing about like the hum of bees in ali the schools and in the homes that are liyened by those precious but opin- ionated high-scheol girls who are about to complete one lap of their little jour ney in the world. To each one of them her graduation dress is the most im- portant matter in sight, and it is an important matter from several view points.
 Many schools, much to their credit, prescribe definitely what their gradu- ates shall wear, and thus avoid heart- burnings among the girls. great many others give some general dfrec- tions as to how dresses shall be made, and let it go at that; while other schools leave the matter to be deeid. ed without any restrictions. In the last case a mother is very often called upon to insist on less pretentious frocks than her daughter would select and she may acquire a few extra gray hairs and deepened wrinkles in car ryfng her point. But she must carry it or else have her taste in dress dis credited.

60 MANY of the latest blouses, now 0 being shown for midsummer wear, have elbow sleeves and very short peplums, that there is no room to doubt that they are proving popu- lar. Designers have great faith in these features in midsummer styles since they are fashioning the most costly laces into them as well as the usual beautiful and refined fabrics used for blouses. Irish lace, combined with filet and a little embroidered or pin-tucked batiste, are the rich in- gradients that go to make up the most costly of these blouses for midsummer wear. Often fine voile, with drawn work or embroidery as an embellish- ment, takes the place of batiste. In many blouses one or the other of these fabrics predominates, but sometimes they make way for the laces and are merely used to set them together clev- erly. Among blouses that are simply lace trimmed or ornamentVd with needlework, voile is a favorite mate rial.
 The lovely blouse shown here made of crepe georgette and decorated with beads, is q perfect example of the new summer blouse. Its short peplum. cut into four scallops at the bottom. is simply an extension of the body of the blouse. Bends in short strands form a fringe for the peplum and the IonEplv adi19cfn4 y~sv.y4Io l.: 4,
