PARIS, September /.
"HE great French dailies have

ex-kaiser simultaneously with

and Dutch newspapers.

them entirely. "The Memoirs" con-
tended the French editors, Cannot be

Hshed in New York, in Chicago, in
London, in Amsterdam, and Lord knows
where else, it would indeed be childish
on the part Of Paris to ignore them.
At any rate, they felt that they might
at least rectify the presentations.
Then again, it is always interesting to
know what the accused has to say in
his defence. And the ex-Kaiser stands
under the heaviest impeachment of
modern times.
Here We have the principal reason
why the French newspapers have re-
Sersed their original decision. They
want to see how Wilhelm presents his
case.

VI Misinformation
haven't as yet seen the manuscript
of these memoirs, but I've had the
opportunity of meeting two French
men who have. And their first impress
sion affrighted them. They had al
ways thought that kaisers, czars, en-
peross and kings, despite their weak
ness and vice, were above the common
fan OF mortals in at least one respect,
that OF knowing before all others the
immediate trend of world events.
1hey had alwa1s- tfexght that en-
pefors and kings got the best ''tips"
soncerning international politics and
uipiomacy. Yet, according to his own
'henoirs, 1T seems that the ex-Kaiser
was the most misinformed person on
sartn; and that he had less discern
'nent with regard to world events than
:. seniie village gossip. He readily be-
su everything he was told; and he
1seeived the widest rumor with as
sA aaith as passage Of the Bible.

BREECHES BUOY SAVES
STRANDED BARGE CREW

Lewes, Del, Jan. 29.-Four men
aIrift in the open sea on the barge
Tuckhoe since II A. VI. yesterday
were rescued this afternoon by
means OF the breeches buoy when the
barge stranded three miles south of
Indian River. They were taken off
by the Indian River and Bethany
Beach Coast Guard crews.
The shipwrecked men suffered Sc
yerely from the intense cold but aside
from frostbites they are little the
worse for their experience. They are
being cared for at the Bethany Beach
Station.
The Tuckhoe. with the barge Tren-
ton, in ballast from Providence to
Philadelphia, broke away from the

NEW METHOD REVEALS
CHICK sen ON MATCHING

New York, Jan. 27-MeanS for dis
covering, upon Matching, the sex of a
chick-formerly unknown for six to
eight weeks-has been found by in
heritance tests by the Storrs EXper-
iment Station at Connecticut Agri-
cultural College. which on March l
purposes 70 distribute to certain far
mers birds of known sex.
The announcement was made today
by DIR. Leslie c. Dunn, attached TO
the station. who is attending the
Poultry Show here. DIR. Dunn point
ed out that this discovery was of
great economic Importance to the
chicken raiser, who now could be
sure he was purchasing females If
he desired to produce eggs or mates
if he was raising chickens for mar
ket. Moreover, knowledge of the sex
would permit Immediately proper
feeding for either purpose.
Tests have shown, DIR. Dunn said,
that plumage colors are inherited
in criscross fashion; that is, male
chick has characteristics of the fe-
male parent and the female chick
of the male parent.
DIR. Dunn explained that this meth
cd was purely one of sex discrimina-
ton and not sex determination. He
added that chicks usually Matched
$3.50 and that no method had been
found for controlling sex.

SOME IMPORTANT FACTS
ABOUT INCOMT X

In making out his income TAX re-
turn for 1921, the aver; ge taxpayer
will find considerah saving in
comparison with the /; ount of tax
paid on the same inco for 1920.
The exemptions prov .ded by the
revenue act Of 1921 are $1,000 for
single persons (the term including
widows, widowers, Divorces, and per-
sons separated from husband and
wife by mutual agreement), $4,000
for married persons whose net income
was $4,000 or less, and $4,000 for
married persons whose net income
was $4,000 or more. Under the reve-
nu act Of 1918 the personal exemption
allowed a married person was $4,000,
regardless of the amount of net in
come. The personal exemption al
lowed married person applies also
to the head Of the family, man OF
woman who supports in one household
one or more relatives by blood, mar
riage, or adoption.
The exemption for dependents-a
person who receives his chief support
from the taxpayer and who is under
Is years Of age or incapable Of self
support because mentally or physical
ly detectives increased from 5000
to $500.
The act requires that a return be
filed by every single person whose
net income for 1921 was 81 900 or
more, every married person whose net
income was $4,000 or more, and by
every person--single or married.
who gross income was $4,000 or more.
The requirement to file return
of gross income of $4,000 or more re-
gardles of net income is a new pro-
vision. Net income is gross income
less certain specified deductions for
business expenses, losses, bad debts,
etc, which are fully explained on the
forms.
Returns must be filed by married
couples whose combined net income
for 1921, including that of dependent
minor children. equaled or exceeded
$4,000, or if the combined gross in
come cqualcd or exceeded $4,000.
The period for filing returns is
from January to March Is, 1922.
Heavy penalties are provided for fail
ure or "willful refusal" to file a re-
turn on time.
Forms l0l0A for incomes of $4,000
and less and 1910 for incomes in ex-
cess of $4,000 may be obtained from
the offices of collectors of internal
revenue and branch offices. The tax
may be paid in full at the time of fill
ing the return, or in four equal in
stallments. due on or before March
10, June 10, September 10. and De-
cember Is.

County, shot black bear that dress

Kenneth burst, had followed the
trail of the animal all day and came
upon it on the east slope of Meadow
Mountain as il was summing itself
and with one shot from his 32-cali-

THE McCABE FAMILY
HEIR LARGE ESTATE

Selbyville. Feb 2.-Kin Of the late
Pemberton McCabe. who is reported
to have died in England leaving a
large estate to his heirs, of whom
there are nearly one hundred around
Selbyville, have determined to make
an investigation. Last week com
mittee appointed by a meeting of the
heirs went 10 Philadelphia TO take
the matter up with the English con-
sui. Their next step will be to en-
ploy firm Of English solicitors to
fight for the estate, all having pied
ged themselves TO contribute to the
fund now being raised in Baltimore
Hundred. where the McCabe heirs
live.
The facts concerning the late Penn
berton McCabe coincide singularly
with the facts of the unclaimed es-
tate. Pemberton McCabe was a
Baltimore hundred trader. Shortly
after the Civil War he went to Eng
land and never returned. Nor was
any word ever received from him. 1t
was supposed he had been lost at
sea. He was unmarried and left only
a brother and sister. As his brother
lived to be much over 80, it would
seem probable that the same Pember-
ton who died in England might be
the one from Baltimore hundred.

FORMER BERLIN MAN

A BILL TO STOP
HASTY WEDDINGS
Cantwell, of Cecil, Has Measure Re-
quiring 4s-Hour Wait Before
Ceremony For Nom Residents

Annapolis, Jan. 30.-Elkton's -four
ishing marriage business, of such
proportions that the Cecil County
town is called Maryland's Gretna
Green. will be killed if the General
Assembly passes bill introduced
tonight in the Senate by Senator
Cantwell, representing that county.
The measure IS short and simple.
II provides that, if both contracting
parties are nonresidents of the State,
no license shall be issued them until
IS hours. after they have made appli-
cation.
Will Stop Runaway Marriages
But it will effectively stop the run
away marriages from Pennsylvania,
New York and Delaware, and break
up the alleged taxicab-clergy co-ordi-
nation that mas made Elkton noted
in four States and has kept church
conferences in an uproar over the
so-called marrying parsons.
Senator Cantwell introduced his
measure after the Wilmington Con-
ference, in which Elkton is located.
had made efforts to have its bill
presented. The latter would have
made it felony for an unordained
minister or one not in charge of a
parish to perform ceremony; would
have fined clergymen for not observ-
ing the law and jitney drivers for fail
ing TO heed certain prescribed regula-
tions. 1t also would have prevented
tips by clergymen to taxieab drivers
for bringing couples to the parson-
ages. It was aimed against Mary
landers as we'll as nonresidents.
Aimed Only At Outsiders
MY feeling is that a measure
imposing no restrictions on Maryland
residents. but aimed at nonresidents
Of the State will cure the trouble"
said Senator Cantwell.
Presidents of Maryland can go
anywhere in the State now and be
married under Maryland laws, and
there is no reason why any restric-
ton should be placed on that. The
bad feature of Elkton's business is
that couples come from other States
to elude the laws of those States.
Forty-eight hours notice of applica-
tions for marriage licenses will stop
that, and we will have no change
whatever in the law as far as it
affects Marylandcrs.
al believe that the Legislature will
pass a bill of this sort
Two years ago measures aimed at
the Elkton situation were INTRODUCED,
but were killed, il was generally
agreed. because they sought to
change the law affecting residents
of Maryland and impose on them the
4S-hour notice.

night by Senator Prick to add this

ing of Baltimore policeman under

FEED THE BIRDS
IN WINTER TIME

At this time of the year previous
to severe cold weather or heavy
SHOWS, il is always necessary TO call
the attention of the public to the
necessity of Feeding the Birds. A
State may do n great deal in the way
of restocking depleted covers, but
more can be gained by saving what
we have than by purchasing at great
expense large quantities of birds. 1t
is only necessary for farmers and
sportsmen and bird lovers TO divert a
little time and a small amount Of
gra. to save many quail and other
valuable birds. A shelter provided
for them to protect them from there
on will accomplish a great amount of
good and the Conservation Commits
sion of Maryland urgently requests
all those who are interested to do
what they can, if there is any cold
weather or snow during the coming
months, to save the birds.
The following little verse has been
issued by Miss Gertrude Knevels,
Secretary of the Forest Hills Gar
dens Audubon Society, as Christ
mas card. 1t is passed on in this
manner so that you will help us to
FEED THE BIRDS:
How big your nest is, neighbor man!
How bountiful your fare
While small birds in the wind and
snow
Are starving everywhere.
Some scattered crumbs; a little seed;
A drop of water, too;
And we will sing our gratitude,
Big brother man, to you.
