EDUCATIONAL BEAUTY
SHOW IN CHICAGO

Chicago, March IAN educational
beauty show, said to- be the first of its
kind and size to be held outside of
Paris, is being staged here this week.
The exposition is largely for the pur-
pose of proving to milady of 1921 the
truth of the statement that beauty is
only skin deep and that all women
may be beautiful.
The show is being sponsored by
nearly 500 manufacturers of practical
aids to beauty, but one of its announc-
ed purposes will be to agitate against
the excessive use of cosmetics and to
demonstrate benefits which may be
obtained from the proper use of the
proper kinds of beauty aids.
There are dozens of experts to in
struct the women. Women artists,
psychologists, health and dietetic spe-
cialists and beauty experts will assist
at the explosion-all with the same
object in view, that of helping Ameri-
can women develop the beauty they
have and to become more beautiful
According to the promoters of the
show, there is perfume of certain
scent which blends with a certain per-
sonality, and one of the objects of the
show will be to have the experts aid
each woman in deciding what particu-
lar perfume or powder is best suited
to her individuality. Another expert
will demonstrate the proper manner
in which to apply the different articles
of the toilette.
In explaining the purpose of edu-
eating American women in the devel-
opment of beauty at the show, w. G..
Hamilton, director, said:
American women are the most
naturally beautiful in the world. There
is only one thing they may be said to
lack in comparison with the women
of other countries and that is the art
of accentuating and refining their
loneliness. There is at present a ten
dency on the part of women toward
overdresslng, overroughing and too
startling adornment. Such tendency,
as well as the tendency toward dowd-
mess, can be corrected only through
widespread educational propaganda
among our women"
Invitations have been issued to
cities throughout the country to send
their most beautiful women and girls.
There will be beauty contest for
high school girls and other contests
to determine the possessor of the most
beautiful hair, eyes. complexion, per-
feet figure, the best kept hands, and
the prettiest foot and ankle.
Clothes will not play an important
part in the show except insofar as the
experts will contrast the proper and
improper manner of dressing and the
relation of bodily health and beauty.

INCOME TAX FACTS
YOU SHOULD KNOW

How can the government deter
mine whether my income for the year
1920 is taxable?"
This question, should it arise in the
mind of any person subject to the in
come tax, is easily answered. The
bureau of internal revenue has innum-
cradle sources for checking up delin-
quents. The information at source"
provision of the revenue act, which
requires that reports be made of pay
ments to others of $1,000 or more dur
ing the taxable year, is only one of
the bureaus many avenues.
Each collector of internal revenu.
is required to post in his Office for
public inspection Immediately follow
ing the close of the income-tax paying
period-March Is, 1921-a list of per-
sons in his district who have filed in
come tax returns.
John Jones may have a grudge
against his neighbor, Bill Smith.
Knowing that Bill Smiths income was
within the taxable list, he is apt to
note the omission, if il occurs, and
drop note to the collector
In every collectors office, employees
are assigned to the task of reading
carefully the daily papers and noting
real estate and other transactions in
volving payments. Record is kept of
all such transactions. The commits
sioner of internal revenue and his
assistants, whose duty it is to see
that the revenue act is properly ad-
ministered have authority to examine
all books, papers and memorandum of
taxpayers, and to examine under oath
any persons having information in the
premises.
Should person whose duty it is
to file return fail in his obligation,
he may expect, sooner or later, to hear
from the collector of internal revenue
Penalties provided for delinquency are
severe. For failure to make a return
on time-on or before March 18th,
1921-the penalty is fine of not more.
than $1,000. An additional assess
ment of 25 per cent of the amount due
may be applied unless later return
is filed, and it is satisfactorily shown
that the delinquency was due to rea-
sonable cause. "Willful refusal to
make return and pay the tax on time
is punishable by fine of not more
than $4,000 or one years imprison.
ment or both. together with the cost
of prosecution.
Where, by reason of illness or abb
sence, additional time is required for
fling an income tax return, the col
lector of internal revenue may grant
an extension of not to exceed 80 days
upon written application therefor,
made before the return is due, on or
before March Is, 1921.
If, before the end of 80 days ex-
tension, an accurate return can not be
filed, appeal for further extension
must be made to the commissioner of
internal revenue with a full recital of
tie causes for the delay.
Payment of income taxes may be
made by cash, money order, or check.
Check or money order should be made
to Collector of Internal Revenue"
Payment by either of these methods
is urged by the bureau of internal
revenue as a convenience to the tax
payers and the avoidance of conges-
ton at collectors offices during the
closing days of the tax paying period.
