It is a review of American literature during an inn portant period that greatly pleasas book lovers. He gives intimate glimp- ses of such men as Mark Twain. Frank stockton, Augustus Saint -Gaudens.

INcoME-TAX FACTS

Twenty thousand persons last year
 paid a fine of $5 each for failure to
 file an income-tax return for 1918, all
 though their income for that year was
 not taxable.
 The revenue act provides an ezemp-
 ton of $1,000 for s.ngle persons, $2,0o0
 for married persons and heads Of
 families, and an additional exemption of S2OO for each person dependent up- on the taxpayer. If such person is un- der IS years of age, or incapable Of self-support, The delinquents last year were persons whose income ex- actly equaled the amount of the un- necessary, therefore, to file return, and others whose income was nontax- ! able because of dependents, and who were under a sisilar mistaken impres- sion.
 1 For example, single man with a net income of $1 900 was supporting a sister for whom he was allowed an ex- emption of s20o. placing his income in 1 the nontaxable list. For this reason he did not file return. When his de- | linquency was discovered through g l return filed by his employer, who is required to report payments of $1,0o( ! or more to each employee, he was 1 fined $5.

 Here is an autobiography that begins and ends in New London county, Con- necticut, but many of the years of the authors life were passed in worth while and 1aborious undertakings in many other states where pluck and stick -to-itiveness were required and provided in plenty. It Is a most in- teresting presentation that impresses with the steadfast purpose displayed and it is penned in bright and fas- cinating manner that holds the atten- tion from start to finish.
 Mir. fsldredge has seen all sides of life and has had greater variety of ex- periences, in his three quarters of a century that began in Old Mystic in 1S45, than the average person. They were not without adversity and they were not without humor.
 There are the never to be For gotten schooldays, incidents of Civil war times, the trials and successes in the western lumber camps, the expert enees as q lumber trader on the Mississippi, as business man in New York state and back at home In all of which the determination that wins The book deals with facts, not fiction a record of achievement, and therefore all the more interesting.

A Rkn MESS.

Whichever way the decision goes the happ1est man in the country when the naval awards are cleared up ought 10 be the secretary of the navy. The decision may not be in his favor, the critics of his acts may be upheld but he should nevertheless be tickled when the matter is disposed of.
 Secretary Daniels isn't exactly shining light in connection with the distribution of naval honors. From the way iii which some of the 1ecora- lions have been awarded there ap- pears to be excellent ground for the claim that they have been pinned here and there out of favoritism. while there are those who by their heroic acts really deserve them but have received no favorable consider ation.
 With deserving eases passed by, the latest inst3nce of awarding a deco rat:cn for which there appears to be no Justification is that of Admiral Grayson, the personal physician of President Wilson. who has been given naval cross. Strange as it may seem he was recommended for a dis
 
 a naval cross, although he must be given credit for urging that he should be given no decoration for war ser vice. Just why he should be given a medal when those who actually took part in the war have failed to have tho services they performed recog nized is hard to understand eycept that it is on the ground of favoritism and this does not intimate that he hls not done faithfully the work for which he was named. Yet it was no more deserving of @ war medal than that of thousands and thousands of others in the navy, and it will be as difficult to explain as the reason for making him an admiral when selected to lCok after the presidents health.
 The more We head about the naval aKarus the less enviable is the posi- tion Of Secretary Daniels. He seems to have overlooked the presidents l cook and chauffeur.

KEEP THEM GOING.

None too soon have the federal au- thOrities gotten busy in a determined effort to rid the country of the reds. No greater menace has been present. cd in a long period of time than was launched by these radicals in all sec- lions of the country. The overthrow of the government was what they were working for. There are plenty of the leaders who are too willing to admit it and it is high time that they were o7nished and the country freed of such conspirators.
 When 1t is realized that it was the plan of that element to so back the steel and coal strikes that there would be a general strike throughout the country it shows what advantage was taken of labor organizations to put their scheme into effect. The ad- vocacy Of violence among the work CTS, the influence that served to re- strain many from returning to work and the spirit of disorder can be at- trihuted in a large measure to the ac- tiyities or those who were using those lawless acts as a means of striking at tho government.
 With the uncoveriug of this nation Nide revolutionary plot together with he extensive counterfeiting plans and the efforts 10 create panics here and in Europe it must be realized that both the leaders and the followers in such activities have been allowed to so too far. They have been favored with too great a degree of tolera- ton. Instead Of being given rope enough to hang themselves they were planning to use it to overthrow the country.
 IL Is therefore time that we should get busy It has taken a long time Tor us to get awakened but knowing Inc situation that exists and the dan. ger to the country that is threatened the quicker such radicals are sent oui ot the country or put under proper restraint the better it win be for the welfare Of the nation.

MORE CARS, LESS SAFETY.

The number automobiles in the country is constantly increasing but that does not constitute a satisfac- tory reason for the steady increase in the number of automobile accidents and fatalities. With greater numbers there ought to be greater care. and while there appears to be evidence of greater regard for the danger of rail- road crossings in New York and New Jersey indicated by the fact that there were less fatalities at such points during the past year, such was not true regarding highway fatali- ties. Because of recklessness and in- competence the death rate from auto accidents was boosted, but why shouldn't it continue upward when in such a state as New York there was the -evo cation of but 141 drivers li- censes when much smaller states re- voled them by the thousands for the very reasons that lead up to acci- dents.
 That this Is one of the means by which the states must create respect for the laws and the rights of other users of the highways, as de from the prosecution of those responsible for the accidents Or. death. is being real iZed in those states where little or nc attention is being paid to it. And vel New York and New Jersey are not the only states where deaths from auto accidents are on the gain. Even ir the ntt4e state of Rhode Island con, siderable increase is noted, and it car be expected that there will be greater numbers each year unless adequate steps arc taken to overcome careles: operation of cars. to discourage th. speedsters and see that each and ev cry driver assumes the responsibilit,

the results. Letting them take care Of themselves is the trouble on too many of the eastern farms. and as the result the business in that line of pro- duction which ought to be done here for the supplying of the markets in this part of the country or even con tributing to the export trade suffers.
 The western apple raisers are not to blame for conditions here. If there was manifested in New England the enterprise that backs the western or chardists apple culture would be far different proposition than it is.

gre enough still to leave the recip- tent dependent does not preclude claim for exemption. Such income, however. must be included in the re- turn of the head of the family.
 Can Not Divide Exenption-
 The $1.oOO additional exemption al- lowed the head of family cannot be divided between two single mem bers of a household. A division or responsibility excludes the parties from such claim. A single person who does not qualify as the head of a family may still claim an exemption of S200 for each person dependent of of $200 for each person dependent up- on him for support. if such person is under IS years of age or incapable of self-suppcrt. A son who has left home but who sends to his mother more than half the sum required for her support is entitled to the $200 ex- emption, provided the mother cannot support herself. Otherwise the ann ount must be considered as a gift, and therefore, is not deductible. A son living at home and supporting his mother may claim the S2.000 exemp- ton of $200 unless the mother is in- capable of self-support.
