Income Tax Facts You Should Know

Changes wrought during the past
year by births, deaths, and mar
riages, affect materially income tax
returns for the year 1920. Millions
Of babies were added to family cir
cles, each of whom brings an ex-
emption OF 5000 in the parents in
come tax return.
Boys and girls who have become
self-supporting and whose parents
allow them the use of their earn
lngs without restriction, form a new
class Of taxpayers. Each must file
a return and pay a tax on his or
her net income If such income was
in excess of $1,000.
Widows and widowers who lost
their husbands or wives during the
year 1920 are especially affected.
They are single for the purposes of
the income tax law, and are granted
only an exemption Of $1,000, unless
the head of a family. Persons who
were divorced Cr separated by mu-

We don't make expensive merchan-

somehow and got away with the
entire contents Of our electroplat-
ing tank
The manufacturing jeweler waved
his hand toward the long narrow
tank which, before the robbery had
held many hundreds of gallons of the
gold solution. Then he turned back
to Harvey HAT, and taking him by
the. lapels of his coat for greater
emphasis, continued in a lower tone:
The thing is to me a mystery.

cra manager. The only two KEYS

around, say they can't see how any
thief got in here, and tell US theyII

mean it because they think I'm

ance on the place. which I haven't
got So 1 want you should look the
Gaze over and tell me how it was
done. What is gone is gone, but
there's no reason I should let the
same thing happen again"
Harvey Hunt went first to the
door, where he examined the lock
minutely. He found upon it no
scratches; nothing, in fact, to indi-
cate that the thieves had entered
that way. Next he inspected the
window. He threw up the sash, and
with his eye measured the distance
across the court to the building op-
posite. but shook his head mega
lively.

SWITCH" Hunt asked.
They did not throw it of at all,
Mr.. Hunt" replied the manufac-
turer. We find the lights went out
because the fuse blew out. The
fuse is in the cellar between the
switch and the outside wires. Then
on this side of the switch are two
conduits-one leading to this tank,
and the other for the lights. You
sec, for the tank we have a little
push button switch. But il was

the thieves turned it on then short
