his sign. I've Just heard that the
Bobadil Jim. a wicked wizard who
has always been an enemy of mine,
fixed up that sign for him. 1t is sort
of a magnetic sign and attracts things
to it. That is why all my bird mes

out Of the chimneys, that the children

carefully, putting it and the key into
the inside pocket of his little jacket

bravely, won't we Nancy2 What does
he look like Mr.. Santa Claus?"
What does he look like?" repeated
Santa Claus thoughtfully. What does
the Bobadil Jim lok like? That's
hard questions to answer. for If he
had his photograph taken every five
minutes he would never look the same
twice. One minute he looks like
canary bird, the next like a tree, the
first thing you know he's a flash Of
lightning. and can change from that
in two seconds into a blue~tailed mon

TALKING COURAGE,

Remember how you used to whistle
when you were coming down some
dark lane at night, way back in your
boyhood days?
1t used to fix your courage up good
and strong and first thing you knew
the lane wasn't so awful dark nor SO
awful long and everything was pretty
much all right.
That's just how things are now. The
lane isn't so dark and it isn't so aw-
full long so If you'll just whistle a bit
things will brighten up pretty soon.
In order to help out, here's a model
resolution suggested by C. NJ Eason
vice president of Hyatt Roller Bear
ing Co OF Newark, N. j:
Resolved, That l will not partici-
pate in pessimistic gossip regarding
business conditions.
That / will keep silent rather than
add momentum to unfounded rumors
of encouragement
THAT 1 will consider the problem
Of reimbursement as a personal prob
lem.
That / will do the job in hand with
energy and enthusiasm.
That will think more Of the days
work than the days pay.
That even under the most TRYING
conditions, I will not allow myself to
lose sight of the fact that America is
the greatest country in the whole
world--that American industry will
always survive"

Income Tax
Facts You
Should Knott

| What was your income for 1920?
| An answer to this question is re-
quired by the government of every
single person oman, woman, or child)
| in the United States, whose net in
come for last year was $1,000 or more.
and of every married person whose net
| income was $4,000 or more. Heavy
penalties are provided by the revenue
act for those who fail or "willfully re-
fuse to comply.
! The period for filing returns for the
calendar year 1920 is from January 1
to March 10, 1921. The Bureau of In
| ternal Revenue estimates that with
| in this period there will be filed A.
600, 900 individual income tax returns.
| It is certain a percentage of these re-
J turns will be incorrect, not because of
dishonest intent on the part of the
taxpayer but because of error in max
| ing out the forms. Erroneous inter
probation of the law and regulations
govrning the collection of the income
tax and carelessness cause numerous
mistakes, and result in the initial as
sessment and collection of consider
ably greater or lesser amounts than
are actually due Frequently these
mistakes result in overpayment, re-
turn of which is made upon a claim
for refund. Where, upon verification
and audit, underpayments are shown,
taxpayers as rule are prepared
promptly to amend their returns and
pay the additional tax due. In either
event, there is trouble for both the
taxpayer and the government.
To the end that this year such err
rors may be reduced to a minimum,
the Bureau of Internal Revenue is
making special effort to inform tax
payers of their rights and duties I'M
der the revenue act as interpreted by
rulings and regulations of the treas
ury department.
There has been prepared with the
official approval of the bureau
series of short articles, of which this
is the first, telling the taxpayer how
to make out his 1920 return, when and
where to file it, and what to do in the
event he meets with unusual difficult
ties. Errors most frequently noted in
the audit of previous returns have
been divided into classes, each of
which will be treated in an informa-
tive way. While there is no actual
change in the law, there have been
issued during the last year many rul-
ings and decisions bearing on it's vari-
Gus sections, all of which are of ben
eft to the taxpayer in the making Of
a correct return.

work for it, thereby gaining advant-
ages for the city.
The Pensacola Chamber of Com
merce has many opportunities before
it for the year 1921. 1t has an OPP
portunity right now to preach the gos-
pei of business optimism in word and
deed, just as Paul Stewart and Tom
Johnson are preaching that gospel.
Every member of the chamber of
commerce can find somewhere IN his
particular business rays of hope. The
clouds are not without riffs through
which the sun of better times can be
seen.
Every merchant and manufactures
can help widen those riffs by being
and acting optimistic, for truly the
cloak of hard times is thrown off
more quickly by sunshine than by
clustering winds. The times are pro-
pitious for the men of vision who are
ready to lead business out of the will
derness and into the promised land of
stability and normally.
This is one work in which the cham
Der Of commerce can be effective
There are many others. The chamber
of commerce is and should be the
forum at which the views and opin-
ions of the community are expressed
and crystalized 1t is the town meet
ing" Of the city and through 1t the
concentrated opinion of the leaders
of civic life can best be focused.
This can, indeed be a big and inn
portant year for the chamber of COM
merce and for the city of Pensacola.

CIVIC ORGANIZATION.

Organization is necessary to get re-
suits. A tug-of-war team. on which
all members do not pull together and
az the came time never wins. A base
ball team which is made up OF stars
and not team players captures few
pennants.
Organization in civic activity is
Just as essential The communities
which are making the most progress
are those which have strong chambers
OF commerce made strong by the force
or numbers and the cohesiveness OF
the organization.

But large membership without a

LOOSE TALK is DANGEROUS.

Ordinarily people flee from the pes
simist. They dodge the person overly
fond of talking of his troubles, or an
others. They are still more anxious
TO avoid the man who talks Of trou-
bles that exist only in imagination

is as true now as it was a year ago
And yet, today, there is more of this
viewing with ALARM
1t isn't that there is need for pes
simism now. 1t isn't that the coun-
try is worse off than 1t was. The re-
verse is a fact. The United states
is more prosperous than ever before,
The years crops were fine. The years
production of manufactured goods
was all that could be desired. No
danger? Yes. there is danger! The
danger of loose talk.

Of the American Bankers Association
says:
Loose talk and gossip is the most
dangerous of the various conflicting
currents OF the present time"
He asks for calm, thoughtful con-
sideration of prevailing conditions"
Let us encourage an optimistic at

The pinlomat's Salary

Pity the American diplomat abroad.
His lot is frequently a hard one. Not
only is he houseless. but the deprecia-
ton of foreign currency is far worse
for him than the inflated value of the
American dollar is for the citizen at
home.
A comparatively ancient law, enact
ed when the present condition of in
ternationaI finance could not be fore
seen. provides that diplomatic and
consular officers shall utilize their fee
collections in. paying their salaries
and running expenses of their offices.
and remit to the government whatever
excess there is in American gold or it's
equivalent.
This is how the arrangement works.
The normal salary of an agent in
France may be $4,000. At normal ex-
change rates that would amount to
about $1,000 francs. Today the same
$4,000 is worth more nearly $4,000
francs. An American tourist in France
would enjoy that advantage. But the
diplomat must still pay himself his
normal salary of $4,000 francs only,
worth II, 600 in the United States. and
any collections over that amount must
revert to the government.
II ii were not for legal technicality,
the banks provide an international
medium for paying such an agent his
full salary of $4,000 at the current
rate Of exchange.
Unless this condition is remedied
soon, it is plain to be seen that gen
eral Discrimination to serve in such
positions may develop. resulting in
real loss to the nation through i'm

ASTlGMATisM.

| Astigmatism is the effect of irregu-
| 1arity in the shape of the cornea (the
clear part of the eye ball). This pro
duces blurred vision because the child
can see better in one meridian than
the other. If the astigmatism is slight
/ the eye corrects the fault by using
| its power of accommodation, but this
entails strain. Hence, astigmatism
ranks with far sight as a cause of eye
strain. 1t is also one of the causes of
faulty posture, since the child natu-
rally turns his head and twists his
| body till he gets into the position
where he can see best.
Squint, or cross-eye, is one of the
very serious defects of the eye, the
| importanc of which many parents fail
to realize. Though they, of course
are troubled at it's effect on the APP
pearance of their children. They do
not understand that unless the defect
is corrected early in life Cby the sixth
or seventh year,, there is great dan
ger that the vision in the affected
eye will be greatly impaired if not
lost altogether.
If treatment is begun early, even
in infancy if observed then, the eyes
may usually be Strengthened by
glasses, without an operation.
Any evidence of eye strain or defec-
tive vision should call for an exam
nation by an oculist. Painful, water
ing. or congested eyes, twitching or
sore lids, sensitiveness to light, frown-
ing, peculiar position of the head, diff
ficulty in seeing work on the board,
holding the book near the eyes, poor
spelling or reading. blurred or dou-
III i-fN
tigue, nervousness, dizziness, sleep
.lessness, irritability and lack of con-
troll are among the symptoms of eye
strain.
Every effort should be made in
both home and school to conserve the
vision Of the child. The light should
come from the left and the rear. In
school rooms the windows should be
massed on the left side. towards the
rear, with none in the back of the
room because the teachers eyes should
not be subjected 20 the strain of look
ing towards the light.
The window glass space of a school
room should be about one-fourth of
the floor space, and all windows
should reach almost to the ceiling
Opaque shades should be used only to
exclude direct sunlight. In addition
TO these, light colored translucent
shades should be used. The com
bination up-and-down shade or the
new style adjustable roller should be
substituted for the fashioned
shade.
The coloring of the room should be
such as to reflect the light without
glare. The ceiling should be almost
white, and the walls may be buff,
pale tan, or gray (either creamy or
with just a touch of green).
For further protection of the eyes
of school children, the textbooks
should be printed on white unglazed |
paper with large print, short lines and
wide margins. Every child should be |
seated where he viii have sufficient |
light and the program of near work |
should be- broken by periods when |
there will be no tax on the eyes. Es- /
pecially is this desirable in the case of
younger children.
