 IF YOU ARE FAT
(By Science Service)

tBy Science SerVlce)
 Are you fat? Be on your guard if you are. pr. Joslin of Boston has gathered striking statistics that show an unden.able association of obesity and diabetes, the condition in which sugar, the most common of food fuels is not properly metabolized or stored in the body. There are in this country alone more than half mill lion diabetics. "The penalty of talk ing too much alcohol is well known, and a drunkard is looked upon with pity or contempt" says Dr. Jos1in. Rarely persons who become fat de- serve pity because of real tendency to put on weight despite moderate eating, but most of them should be placed in somewhat the same catego-. ry as the alcoholic. In 9999 cases out of 1000, being fat implies too much food or too little exercise, or both combined"

Thus it was with mock Difference the
workers In the furniture vans would shout
across the sidewalk, your Honor, the
King, give us lift with this 'shaze long,"
He was familiarly addressed by such
titles as Ounce" Prince Air Again"
King Hoist" And from day to day new
names and new twists upon his name were
invented by the jolly gang The Prince
treated this jocose liberty with dignity.
He would at times lift his eyebrows, but
showed no resentment. AS the days went
by the workers became emboldened in their
Jokes, and finally one Of them shouted at
him as he struggled along holding up his
end of a divan-"A little more lively
there. Pigtail!"
This crude play on the honorable family
name OF Pignatelli was too much. The
Prince decided to give up the job. Next
morning he went to the executive offices

"It seems that the other workers In the

what they could to razz him. AS soon as
they found he was Prince they began to

this kind before. He hadn't learned that

niture in that hotel that the unfortunate
royal seeker after a job met his last and
perhaps most humiliating Encouragement
1t appears that among other things the
position required the Prince to lend hand
in moving heavy pieces about the rooms,
and from the sidewalk when they had ar
rived in the furniture vans. New and
heavy pieces OF furniture coming In have
to be moved into the freight elevator and
along the halls and into the rooms, ann
carpets have to be laid-and all OF this
came within the compass Of the days work
Of the Prince. It is said that his pay was
five dollars a day.
II soon became known to the porters and
laborers about the hotel that they had
real prince among them. He talked differ.
emily. held himself differently, and worked
differently than the others. And his clothes
buttons and his hands were quite different
from the horny-handed helpers. They
knew how to lift a chiffonier slowly ana
lazily and stop often and rest themselves
and fool away the time. The Prince was
young active and just as strong in his
muscles. The Prince was for carrying in
pianos singlehanded and doing more thaa
the others thought was a fair days work.
Thus II was that Pignatelli's helpers be
gan to feel offended and began to express
their feelings In quite rude and ungentle-
manly remarks. They did and said, Il is
reported, all they dared to up to the limit
OF losing their jobs and they passed the tip
to the drivers and furniture handlers on the
vans that here was a real, live royal prince
working in shirt sleeves. These outsiders,
who worked for furniture companies, vera

continued. But It isn't funny to the man
who has never done any work and who
things done for him. 1t was not funny to
Prince Pignatelh."
And so it was after tramping the shops
and the offices with one or two temporary
Jobs and much encouragement the Prince
came to standstill again. His wife ad-
vised him to consult Father-in-law Walters,
who was hardheaded, experienced, ener-
getic. self-made, successful American
business man. Mr. Waters was a large
employer of labor in his various big hotels
In New York. Atlantic City, California and
other places. The Prince was reluctant to
apply to his father-in-law for work, be-
cause 1t was his ambition to make sue
tess on his own merits without any fam
Iy favoritism.
"Of course. had been watching Pigna-
ielli's efforts to get work" said Mr..
Waters, "and I liked his persistence in

pretty good testimonial as to his jcharac-
Ter and honesty Of purpose. He really
wanted to work. and l could understand

question.
''The Prince was able to give good
answer to this. He is well educated and

in the world. He is intelligent and has
fine personality. But all this was not
enough. Sooner or later he came to the
two vital questions.
What have you done before?' and
What is your name7'
ITO the first of these the Prince had to
answer that he had never done any work.
This. OF course, awakened surprise and led
naturally to the next question.
He has been deeply puzzled over wha.
to do when they asked him his name. He
reasoned that II he used an assumed name

Income Tax

Husband and wife must consider
the income Of both, plus thar of de-
pendent minor children, in meeting
this requirement; and, if sufficient to
require a return, all items must be
shown in joint return or in separate
returns of husband and wife.
A single person with minor depend
ents must include the income of such
dependents.
A minor who has a. net income Of
! 81 600 or more is not considered a
dependent, and must file separate
return.
Personal returns should be made On
Form 104O A, unless the net income
exceeded $1,000, in which case Form
1910 should be used
Residents of North Carolina should
file their returns with, and make pay
ments of Income Tax to, Josiah w.
Bailey, Collector of Internal Revenue,
Raleigh.
How to Figure Income.
The best way to find out whether one
must file a return is to get a Form
1O4OA and follow the instructions
printed on it. That form will serve as
reminder Of every item of income.
and if a return is due it tells how to
prepare and file it.
If in doubt on any point as to income
or deductions, a person may secure
free advice and aid from the nearest
Internal Revenue Office.
Guesswork, estimates and other hit
or-miss methods are barred when q
person is making out his Income Tax
return Accuracy and completeness
must be insisted upon. The return is
a sworn statement. AS such it mus
be thorough and accurate.
Salaried persons and wage earners
must ascertain the actual compensa'
ton received. Overtime, bonuses,
shares in the profits of a business.
value of quarters and board furnished
by the employer and other items which
are compensations for services must
be included.
1t must be borne in mind that com
pensatiOn may be paid in other forms
than in cash. A bonus paid in Liberty
Bonds is taxable at the market value
of the bonds. A note received in pay
ment for services is taxable income at
its face value, and the interest upon
it is also taxable.
Other Returns Due.
Every partnership doing business IN
the United States must file a return
on Form 1865; and every personal
service corporation must file similar
return.
Corporations must file annual re-
turns on Form 1920.
Trustees, executors, administrators
and others acting In q fduciary capac-
ity are required to file returns. LII
come cases, Form 1O41 is used; III
others, Form 1910; and still Others
returns on both forms are required.

Shaking Confidence.
SOLVENT BANKS INJURED
Government to Take Other
Steps if Hurtful Publicity
Continues.
SOLVENT BANKS INJURED

HAVANA, May 30.-Steps have been
taken by the Cuban Government WITH
the object of preventing disturbance OF
financial confidence through i'll advised
publicity il was stated this afternoon 10
the Associated Press by the Cuban Sec
rctary of the Treasury, Sebastfen Celia
bert
Through his own initiative, not in con-
Sequence of any protest by the foreign
banks, President Zayas several days ago
conferred with the directors OF the Ha-
vara newspapers. according to Secretary
Gelabert. and urged the advisability of
extreme care regarding the publication
or articles treating on the financial sit
uation. Should the newspapers disre-
gard the Governments request, the Sec
retary continued, such other methods as
might be deemed necessary would be
taken TO protect Cuban financial institu-
/. items.
Representatives of the leading North
American and Canadian banks, who re-
Gently conferred with the President.
were assured that the Government was
disposed to give them every guarantee.
without the necessity of presenting Tor
NAL complaint or adopting measures
such as temporary suspension of opera
tions, which it was reported the leading
hanks considered they might be impelled
to take.
Secretary Gelabert pointed out that
the Government had initiated this cam
paign as result of the recent suspen-
sion of payment by several banks, Which.
he asserted, were absolutely solvent, but
which could not muster sufficient cur
rency to meet runs by depositors whose
confidence had been shaken through
newspaper stories on the banking situa-
ton.
Publicity which unjustly undermines
confidence and calises stampede among
depostors not only is an offence against
the institutions actually damaged. but
crime against the entire nation, for bhtil
the financial system and the welfare OF
the republic are affected Senior Celia
bert declared. "and the Government has
voluntarily adopted efficient measures
to meet this evil with ut awaiting sug-
gestions or threats from outside
sources
Major-Gen. Enoch Fl. Crowder, repre-
senting the United States Government,
who had not conferred with President
Zayas since the Presidents inauguration
ON May 20, began series of conferences
with the Chief Executive this afternoon.
IT is expected that these will last two
weeks.
