Daring

No Christian had ever visited
Mecca, Arabia. birthplace of Mo-
hammed until Sir Richard Burton
smugg1ed himself in as a true be-
lever. If detected, he'd have been
killed by the Mohammedans.
Burton had lived among the
Arabs so long and knew their lam
guage so thoroughly that he posed
as one of them, hiring out as a pro-
fessional story-teller. Later he
translated into English the only ac-
curate version of 1.-The 1901 Tales
of the Arabian Nights
The plots of at least half the short
stories you read are rehashings of
the Arabian Nights You have read
the ones about Aladdin and his won

Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves.
Many OF the others are sold only

Henry

Early in Henry Ford's career it
was a toss-up whether he would de-
vote his life to making watches or
fliyvers, says an article in McClure's
magazine for May.
Ford had 800 watches in those
days. He studied each until he
knew it by heart"
Finally, he says. he concentrated
on autos because he felt they would
become a necessity, while he figured
that watches were not a necessity,
hence would be harder to sell.
A tip there for young men. Hard
est part of succeeding is to induce
people TO buy your products or serv-
ices. Offer them a necessity and
the problem is half eliminated.

Cheap

When Henry Ford, in his youth,
was considering making watches in
stead of flivyers. his goal was a
watch that would sell for 80 cents.
He produced a gasoline driven
auto proportionately cheap, after ex
perimenting with and discarding a
steam car.
Cheap prices result in quantity
production: place commodity with
in reach of millions who cannot pay
a high price.
The career of Henry Ford can be

CHANGES IN THE INCOME TAX.
Income TAX Return Must be Made in
Case of Income of $4,000.

The following statement relative
to the making Of income tax returns
has been issued by Acting Collector
Of Internal Revenue w. r. Bradl ~,
Of the District OF South Carolina:
The revenue act of 1921 contains
two new and important provisions.
which are the subject Of frequent
inquiry. The first relates to the per-
sonal exemption allowed married
persons, and the second to the pro-
vision requiring that return be
made OF gross income Of $4,000 or
more.
The act provides that a married
person, living with husband or wife,
whose net income for 1921 was five
thousand dollars or less shall be al
lowed personal exemption Of
$4,000. If the net income OF such
person was over $4,000 the exemp-
ton is $4,000. Under the revenue
act OF 1918 the personal exemption
allowed a married person was two
thousand dollars, regardless. OF the
amount Of net income. The normal
tax rate remains unchanged-four
per cent on the first $4,000 Of net
income above the exemptions and
eight per cent on the remaining net
income.
In order that an income slightly
in excess Of $4,000 shall not be sub
jected 10 an Unfortunately dispropor-
tionate tax because Of the reduction
OF the exemption to $4,000 thereon,
the new law provides that such re-
duction shall not operate to increase
the tax, which would be payable II
the exemption were $4,000, by more
than the amount OF the net income
In excess Of $4,000.
The personal exemptions allowed
married PERSONS apply also to the
head Of q family, a person who sup
ports in one household one or moro
relatives by blood, marriage or adop-
tion.

Deaf and Dumb Man Found by His

Asheville, N. c., Jan. 4.-Fred
Ward, % years old, a deaf and dumb
young man, who left his home near
Asheville In October, and for whom
search has been carried on by his
father since, has been located in an
Atlanta hospital. The mute wander
ed through several States, landed in
Jail in a Georgia village and was Ia
ken from there to the Atlanta hos
pital by tho Red Cross. Meanwhile
his father had solicited the aid OF
newspapers in North and South Car
olina and Georgia, which aided in
the finding of his son.
1T was at first thought by the hos
pital and local authorities that the
young man was former service
man and that he was still suffering
from the effects of shell shock. lie
was unable to hear. speak or write
any information concerning him self,
apparently being absolutely blank
In his mind. For some time past
the Atlanta papers have been deyot-
ing considerable space to the unfor-
tunate mans situation, and 1t was
through their publications that the
young mans identity was establish
cd and his family connection brought
out to such an extent that his father
recognized him by means of the
photographs published. lie in turn
sent full particulars as to identify
ing marks on the person of the man,
and these were discovered to tally
exactly with the description, even to
certain particular filings In his
teeth.
