LESS MONEY COLLECTED,
But MORE PEOPLE PAY
Detinuuents Should File at Once
to Avoid Payment of Maxi
mum Penalty.

Collector of Internal Revenue Harry
T. Graham in the Federal Building today,
predicted that when the final penny of
income tax payments Is counted, i will he
found that more people had filed income
tag returns this year than ever before,
but that they have turned IN smaller in
dividual amounts. There are probably
persons who have taxable incomes who
have not filed, the collector said, but
pointed out that all who are liable Will be
ferreted out by the field force.
ITO avoid the assessment OF MAXIMUM
penalty, these people should appear at the
Office Of Internal Revenue at once, Mr..
Graham said. The work during the pre-
vious part OF the year has acquainted the
workrnen Of Delaware with the obliga-
ton to the government and resulted in a
more complete collection.
The commissioner viii not grant an
extension unless it is shown that a com
plete report cannot be filed st the end OF
thirty days time Many people, instead OF
paving their income tax IN full, have
chosen the four installment plan to make
their payments.

More and more the different States

result from ncglecting the Complica-

the problems of delinquency, crime. de
pcndenCy, and other social Ills, and are
taking steps looking to the cure and
to the prevention Of these diseases. Par
tlcularly. they are stressing preventive
work among children. both because these
are the most easily accessible and most
easily studied and even more because,
as is now thoroughly understood. they
are likely TO suffer from many small and
easily remcdiahle health defects which
if neglected. may very probably heavily
handicap them through life.
Delaware is the latest state To take
action. AS result Of n two-ycar sur

CHILDREN WAR NED.
Not 10 Play Around Cemetery Where
Bodies are Being Removed.

The digging up Of the bodies in the
colorcd cemetery at Third and Union
streets has aroused much interest, cs-
peciallv among the children of that neigh
horhood, who would like 60 crowd around
the op,n graves on their way home from
school Parents of these children have
become alarmed for fear they may con
tract some disease from contact with the
graves, and the children are being warned.
However, the novelty of the opera
tions has worn off good deal since its
beginning three weeks ago, and the curl
ositv of the children doubtlessly abated
by parental warnings has gradually de
creased Those doing the work have placed
ropes around the greater part OF the
cemetery and the workmen try to pre-
vent children lettering about. The bodies
are being removed To new colored cemc-

Skin Affections
Easily Banished

Most skin affections are caused by
impurities and germs imbedded IN
the tiny pores. Antiseptics which
remain on the surface cannot destroy
these germs. You must get at them
from the inside.
Iodine is one of the greatest anti
septics known. The most obstinate
skin affection Is readily overcome
by it.
A way has been devised whereby
iodine can be used to Danish un-
slightly blemishes without leaving a
stain or blister. In Q-O) iodine is
combined with ingredients which
make it penetrate each tiny pore
and yet not leave stain on the
