But she can possess it as she is
far better situated than some
states and fully equal to most. 1t
depends upon the enterprise OF the
people themselves. But we be-
lieve that Virginia is waking UP
and will soon be on a parity, at
least, with her sister states of the
great South, who have simply an
ticipated her in the awakening.

A Singer and His
Camera

Mr.. Ernest Gamble, the dis
tinguished basso, who is to appear
on the Chautauqua program, in his
student days in Europe was an en-
thusiastic devotee of the kodak,
and he secured many interesting
pictures of European scenes, army
reviews, royalty, etc. This was be-
fore the days when kodaks were
so universal, and Mr.. Gamble was
in large continental city, where
a big demonstration was going on,
in which the Car Of Russia, the
Kaiser Of Germany, several high
officials and 10000 soldiers were
taking part. Mr.. Gamble was
anxious to secure picture of the
Car, and was maneuvering about
IN order to get good view. Sud-
denly a soldier rushed UP to Mr..
Gamble with bayonet fixed and
placed him under arrest. He was
at onct surrounded; the process
sion stopped, and for a time there
was great commotion. The
soldiers thought he was an an
archist and that the peculiar
looking box he had under his
arm was a dynamite bomb. Mr..
Gamble thought his time had
come, and that he was about to be
cast into prison. He had great diff
fculty in explaining, in panto-
mime, for the most part, that he
was not bomb thrower, and that
the Innocent looking box was only
a kodak. 1t appears the RUSSIANS
had never seen a kodak before and
mistook it for a bomb. He was
finally allowed to go, but he was
not permitted to take a picture of
the Emperor Nicholas.

A conference between Premier
Mckenzie King, of Canada, and
I Secretary of State Hughes is sched-
uled to take place at the State De-
/ partment on Wednesday of next
week. There is added interest in
the conference as further indica-
ton of the recent tendency on the
part of the two governments to
take up direct relations and to
/ treat problems in which only Cana
da and the United States are con-
cerned without the intermediary
process of the British Embassy
here. The question of direct Canad.
ian representation in Washington
and direct American representation
in Ottawa has been under consider
alton for a long time but the mat
ter has been hanging fire. This
This government could not take any
initiative because it held to the po-
sition that it was essentially one
for Great Britain and Canada to
decide and settle definitely before
the United States was consulted. 1t
is regarded as certain that this
question will be discussed during
the Hughes Mckenzie conference.
The Canadian government is
deeply interested in certain sched-
ules of the tariff bill now pending
in the Senate, and it is believed
that the Canadian Premier will give
to the American Secretary of State
his governments views regarding
this subject.

VIRGINIA INCOMES

llC AOliSNlOl VI 4llNNAAi"'
nue at Richmond has Just issued
a statement of the number OF per-
sonal income tax returns filed dur
ing the calendar year 1920 and
collections in the state of Virginia
We present some of the statistics
herewith, believing them to be OF
interest to all taxpayers.
The number of federal personal
income tax returns for the year
ending December 81. 1920, filed
in this state, was 92,576, repre-
senting net incomes amounting to
S273.255.229 and a normal tax
and surtax of 81 ,404 POI. These
figures show a growth of l6,ol0
in returns filed. and an increase IN
the total net income amounting
to S25,576,856, but a decrease in
the tax of $1,616,036. The pro-
portion of the population OF the
United States who filed personal
income tax returns for the Calen-
dar year of 1920, was 6.S5 per
cent; whereas the proportion OF
the population of Virginia filing
returns was 4.01 per cent. The
average net income per return for
the United States was $500 40;
while for Virginia it was $2,95l.-
AZ. The average amount OF the
personal income tax per return Ill
the whole country was Sl48.OS,
and for Virginia, S79.9S.
In 1915 the number OF returns
in this state was 400; in 1917,
37.05l; in 1918, 5l,207 in 1919,
1890: and in 1920. 92.576. In
1920 the number OF returns for
incomes between 81 900 and S.
900. was 5000; between $1,000
and $1,000. was 34,059; between
$1,000 and $4,000, was 10,96S;
between $4,000 and $1,000. was
j 446. and between S. 900 and
$4,000, was 1867.
Two persons in Virginia, i'll
1920. had incomes between $780,
600 and 100000. Two, be-
tween Sl5O,0O0 and 100000;
seven between 100000 and
$4,000; three, between $780,
600 and 100000; three, between
$4,000 and 100000; eight, be-
tween $4,000 and SS0.000;
twenty-SiX, between 100000 and
$4,000; forty-nine, between $780,
600 and 10000; and Sixty-four
between $4,000 and $4,000
5,l62 persons had incomes be-
tween $1,000 and $4,000.
The total tax in 1915 was $685.
5D4; and in 1920, as stated, S.
404.201. This great difference is
probably due to the fact that there
were large numbers OF delinquents
in 1916, whereas by 1920 the ma
chinery OF operation was more
thoroughly understood and more
efficiently administered.
As it is, Virginia can hardly
be called a state Of millionaires.
Twenty-Five Nirginians have in
comes between $4,000 and $780,
600 per annum, Two hundred
and eighty, between $4,000 and
$4,000. Undoubtedly this is due
to the lack OF manufacturing
within her borders. Agriculture
very seldom produces large for
tunes. Merchandising to accom-
pliSh this, must be in the midst of
dense population. Mining exists
only in the rare spots favored by
nature. Manufacturing, there
fore, we should say, produces
more individual great fortunes
than any other industry. This,
Virginia does not now possess.

Now Miss Blake, all the other girls
are young ladies before they are as
old as I am. They can make them
selves pretty with rouge and powder,
and wear their skirts short. Short
skirts are not becoming to me. and
my mother won't let me wear paint
Consequently, the boys pay no at
tention to me. 1 should like very
much to dance, and go to parties, and
walking on F street, but the girls call
me old-fashioned, and the boys don't
know exist. What can 1 do? 80
WORRIED.
You quaint child, do nothing at all
but thank goodness for a wise
mother! Truly, you will be an at
tractive woman when your painted
schoolmates are old women. Keep
your skirts a becoming length, and
your complexion fresh, and play
tennis and basketball, as the sea son
permits In a very short time other
things will come. Enjoy life as It
rolls around. Don't try to force
things. Seventeen Is good time to
study. Going to college?
