WANT MORE THAN EFFICIENCY
Criticism From ST. Louis News
paper Writer

We are told that "the new Ameri-
can home is now discernible. 1t is
not the spacious ten or 12-room domi-
cile, tlanlied with ample grounds and
restful trees, that the pioneers knew.
1t is an efficiency home of one room,
with concealed bed, a restaurant be-
low and common nursery. Every
thing is given over to experts. Amer.
lean love of ease now sits enthrOned
in this compact, one-room efficiency
home" 1t seems 10 us that this eff
cheney home should be especially pop
ular with adults and celibates; al
though where the community nursery
still quite infrequent-is provided
with all its appurtenances for pro-
noting play and a devoted play
nurse" in charge, it should also have
a great attraction for families. Also
from year to year we find improve
ments added to these new-fashioned
city homes. It is true that society
may be in a transition stage and that
the cOnvenienceS emerge into the per
feet domiCilary millennium when ev-
cry adult human being will be housed
in the stately marble halls dreamt Of
in THE Bohemian Girl" though minus
the yassalS and serfs This free cuun-
try is too free for that 1t is Il fact
now that each individual, in many in
stances, is limited % II by IS feet in
his abode, with a few convenient ac-
cessory cubbies, but is that peruia-
nent? With all the resources Of civil
lization, we hope for individual sui es
of parlors, eyentually-larGe enough
for a grand piano and in the center
Of each parlor, tete-a-tete or mar
Bile statue; or whatever you choose
Are we to be forever content with
mere efficiency" Louis Globe

WHY THE TERM "DoUGHB5 Y'7
Origin of That and Other Nickname.
Applied to American Army Forces
Somewhat Obscure.

The reason and origin of the nicA
name 'doughboy" as applied to inran
try soldiers in the American arm,
battle photographers and soldiers. Col
James A. Moss, a military author
famous for his writings on the Gus
toms and courtesies of the service
once undertook to explain the reason
for calling foot troops "doughboys
Colonel Moss writes
"Doughboy. The following versions
are given of the derivation of the G.,
preston 'doughboy' as meaning IN

First. In olden times when infan
trtmen used to clean their white trina

Fourth However, some infantry
men think they are called 'doughboys'
because they are always kneaded'
(needed), while other oldtime infan-
trymen think they are so called be-
cause they are the flower (four) of
the army.
Probably loyal infantrymen think
this for the same reason that good
artillerymen say they are called
wagon soldiers because they are the
ones who always deliver the goods >"

American-Made Carpets.

Since 1897 the manufacturing of
rugs has been an important industry
in this country. The first rugs made
by power and on an American inven-
ton was in the year 1899. 1t is true
that America imported a great many
rugs until the beginning Of the World
war, and, Of course, all oriental rugs
are imported.
France and Belgium sold many rugs
to us, but when war destroyed their
looms and made manufacturing i'm
possible America had to turn to her
own looms to fill her needs, and to-
day we are in this country exporting
rugs by the thousands. We are man
ufacturing in this country six prin-
cipal kinds of rugs or carpets-wil-
ton velvet, administer, tapestry brus-
sells and plain rugs made from linen.

TO ASSIST IN COMPILING
INCOME TAX ACCOUNTS
Collector Poe Gives Pertinent Point
ers to Facilitate Compilation of
Accounts

The following statement is issued
by Collector of Internal Revenue
Burns Poe, of the District of Wash
ington
With the approach of the period
for filing income tax returns-Jan-
uary 1 to March 10, 1922-taxpayers
are advised to lose no time in the
compilation of their accounts for the
year 1921. A new and important
provision of the revenue act of 1921
| is that every person whose gross in
shall file a return, regardless of the
amount of net income upon which
the tax is assessed Returns are re-
.quired Of every single person whose
net income was $1,000 or over and
every married person living with
/ husband or wife whose net income
was $4,000 or over. Widows and
widowers and persons separated or
divorced from husband or wife, are
regarded as single persons.
Net income is gross income, less
certain deductions for business ex-
penses, losses, taxes, etc. Gross in
come includes practically all income
/ received by the taxpayer during the
year; in the case Of the wage Garner,
salaries, wages, bonuses and com
missions; in the case of professional
men, all amounts received for pro-
fessional services; in the cases of
farmers, all profits from the sale of
farm prducts, and rental or sale of
land.
I In the making of an income tax re-
turn for the year 1921, every tax
payer should present to himself the
following questions:
What were your profits from your
business, trade, profession or yoca-
ton?
Did you receive any interest on
bank deposits?
Have you any property from which
you received rent?
Did you receive any income in the
form of dividend or interest from
stocks or bonds?
Did you receive any bonuses dur
ing the year?
Did you make any profit on the
sale of stocks, bonds, or other prop
erty, real or personal?
Did you act as a broker in any
transaction from which you received
commissions?
Are you interested in any partner
ship or other firm from which you
received any income?
Have you any income from royal
ties or patents?
Have you any minor children who
are working?
Do you appropriate, or have the
right to appropriate, the earnings of
such children? If so, the amount
must be included in the return Of
income.
Has you wife any income from any
source whatsoever? If so it must be
included in your return or reported
in a separate return of income.
Did you receive any directors fees
or trustees fees in the course of the
year?
Do you hold any office in a bene-
| fit society from which you receive in
come?
Answers to all of these questions
are necessary to determine whether
person has an income sufficiently
large to require that a return be
filed, and may be the means of avoid

Lime Juice on shlpboard.

The "lime juice" once universally
used by mariners to prevent scurvy
came chiefly from the Mediterranean
and, though partly derived from the
sweet lime, was mainly obtained from
lemons. When the juice of the sour
lime, imported from the West Indies,
was substituted by the British navy, 1t
failed TO have the desired effect, and
thus lime juice fell into disrepute.

A Safe Guide to
Tire Satisfaction

A safe guide to tire satisfaction today is
to buy by name, bearing in mind what that
name stands for. Firestone is not only
the name of tire; it is the name of man
who, twenty years ago, adopted the
standard of "Most Miles per Dollar" for
his organization, and has successfully led
that organization in its fight for better
tires ever since.

A / THIS time, when the tire industry

tanned it has been raised to the highest
point in twenty years of tire building.
And here is why: Firestone is the largest
exclusive tire company in the world. 1t is

tive-the building of the best tire to sell

WHY NOT MORE COOKS?

Editor NeWS-Ruda2t
The article entitled the Hot Lunch
Question in Schools is Il good one.
We could hire professional cook for
each school at salary say about
$4,000 per month to cook regular dim
ners for our children. thereby saving Il
lot of work for our mothers and hard
ship for our children More than that
it would give jobs for Il number of our
citizens. Indeed we ought TO increase
our official family to twO-thirds Of our
population III the county at a padded
salary. Then there would be less kick
ing about the high taxes. that is. there
would only be about One-third kicking.

high But maybe we could lend money
