AID TAX PAYERS
Ten Deputy Collectors Help Make
Out Income Tax Blanks.

Ten deputy collectors of internal
revenue are on duty in the income tax
office at the federal building TO give
assistance and advice in preparing
income tax reports for the calendar
year of 1923, which must be filed
with the collector of internal revenue
at Austin before midnight. of March
10.
There is every indication that there
viii be a last-minute rush at the in
come tax office here. according to
Maj. II. c. Glover, deputy collector
in charge of the San Antonio district.
Until a few days ago there were but
few income taxpayers to appear
daily at the San Antonio office. Since
the latter part of last week. however,
they are flocking TO the office in in
creasing numbers.
Undoubtedly people are becoming
familiar with the income tax laws.
Major Glover said. and more of them
are now able TO fill out their blanks
without assistance. There are others,
however, who are evidently putting
off the task until the last minute
when there is no, assurance that they
can be accommodated, Major Glover
said.
a deputy collector can give assist
ance in preparing from one to TWEEN
ty-five income tax reports day, the
length of time necessarily devoted to
an income tax report being determin-

HIGH SALARlED MEN
EASIER TO PLACE BY
EMPLOYING SECRETARY
Masonic Welfare Bureau
Can Not Find Common
Labor Jobs.

Little jobs are harder to find il
San Antonio than more importan
executive positions, according tC
George Farris, executive secretary OF
the Masonic Welfare Society. During
the two months of its existence, tn,
society through its systematic employ.
ment bureau has placed more men IN
big positions. than it has found jobs
for the carpenter. the plumber, the
mechanic or the clerk.
Common labor is overdone in San
Antonio. while there are many good
openings for men of ability" Mr.. Fer
riS stated in an interview Monday.
while l have experienced difficulty
in finding jobs fer tradesmcn and com
mon laborers, there has been no diff
Guilty in placing capable men in good
positions.
Mr.. Ferris stated that during the
two weeks of its active operation as Il
charitable organization for Hasonic
people, the society of which he is
manager and director has placed more
than twenty men in very good posi-
tons. with twenty more applications
waiting because they were made for
common labor jobs.
"On Saturday. March 1. l obtained
a SoWN a year position for q man who
was thoroughly down and out" Mr..
Ferris stated. Il have handled n good
many eases of this kind and have
found places for several men who have
occupied important executive positions
in the North or East
The reason for this situation. ac-
cording TO Mr.. Ferris, is because Sc
many capable men are forced to come
south for various reasons. more often
because of bad health. When they
reach their destination. they are often
out of funds and without access to the
kind of work they want. Consequently
they do not apply to places needing
responsible men. because they are not
familiar with local employment situa-
tons.
The Masonic Social Welfare Society
maintains an employment bureau that
operates as Il complete business agency,
affording thorough survey of the
needs of every employer in San An
tonic, with list of available positions
and the conditions governing them
Mr.. Ferris stated that he hoped
through this means to relieve much of
the unemployment and need for charity
that exists in San Antonio today.
Regardless of the splendid work
that is being done by many charitable
organizations, believe that the para
mount need is for effective employ
ment bureaus" Mr.. Ferris said. by
securing work for the newcomers to
this city, and for the man who through
circumstances is unable to help him
self. We will be able to apply our
charity much more effectively for
those who really need outright help"

frenzy. And then he sank back as if
exhausted by the violence he had
used. A mement he was still, dab

Peter Blood had listened to the in

with a detachment that afterwards,
in retrospect, surprised him. He was
so amazed by the man, by the re-
actions taking place in him between
mind and body, and by his methods
of bullying and coercing the jury into
bloodshed. that he almost forgot that
his own life was at stake.
The absence of that dazed jury was
brief one. The verdict found the
three prisoners guilty. Peter Blood
looked round the scarlet-hung court.

The Lord Chief Justice sat stiff1y
upright, his face ashen. his lips
twitching, and while you might have
counted 10 there was no sound In that
paralyzed court after Peter Blood had
finished speaking. All those who
knew Lord Jeffreys regarded this as
the lull before the storm. and braced
themselves for the explosion. But
none came. Slowly, family, the color
crept back into that ashen face. The
scarlet figure lost is rigidity, and
bent forward. His lordship began to
speak. In a muted voice and briefly

scribed form, and without the least al

For an instant that foam Of white
faces seemed to heave before him.
Then he was himself again, and a
voice was asking him what he had to
say for himself, why sentence of
death should not be passed upon him,
being convicted of high treason.
He laughed, and his laugh Jared
uncannily upon the deathly stiffness
of the court. 1t was all so grotes-

Having spoken 81, gloatingly. evil

came that gentle melancholy. Speak
