from whatever source derived, has
been revised in the interests of the
largest class of taxpayers--wage earn
ers and salaried persons. Reduced
from six pages to single sheet, form
lO40A is to be used for reporting net
income OF $4,000 and less derived
chiefly from salaries and wages. Per
sons any part of whose income is de
rived from business or profession,
farming, sale of property or REM,
though the amount is $4,000 or Jess,
will be required to use the larger form,
1910. The use of form l040 is re-
quired also in all cases where the net
income was in excess of $4,000, regard
less of whether from salary, business,
profession, or other taxable sources.
It being impossible to determine at
this time which form is desired, copies
of both forms will be sent taxpayers
who filed individual returns for the
year 1922, and may be obtained also
at the offices of collectors of internal
revenue and branch offices upon writ
ten request.

ORIGIN OF eRETNA GREEN

Any community which offers {
means whereby the bonds of matri.
mony may be hastily tied, becomes
known as "Gretna Green,D saws
the Detroit News. Some years pre-
NOUS to 1865 little spot known as
Gretna Green, near the village. Of
South Springfield, in the south of
Scotland, became yeritable haven
for clipping couples.
80 numerous and irregular did
these marriages become that law
was passed in 1865 to prohibit
them. It became necessary for one
OF the espoused to reside for some
weeks In the vicinity.
The name "Gretna Green, was
later given to the village proper,
and was afterward applied to any
lovers paradise, irrespective Of To-
rality.

Low relative humidity causing
the air to have great drying power
is a more important cause of forest
fires than high winds or high tenn
peratures, Dr. j. V. Hofbann, direc-
tor of the Wind River forest expert
ment station at Stabler, Wash, told
members of the American Meteoro-
logical society. When the humidity
is above 60 per cent fires even if
started do not spread, while with
the humidity below 80 per cent, fires
spread rapidly and in many cases
get beyond control.

Independence Proclamation Manuscript
Kept Sealed Up In Order TO
Preserve II.

There are few tourists in the
droves that come to Washington an
nually who do not remember that it
had been decided TO place the orig
inal copy of the Declaration of In
dependence on exhibition, probably
at the library of congress, says the
Philadelphia Public Ledger. As a
result, there is constant demand to
see the document despite the fact
that no provision has been made for
exposing it to public view.
For years it was carefully pre-
served at the State department in
most elaborate sealed case, but it
was thought that it could be en-
tombed in glass in such manner
that the public could look at it with
out increasing the deterioration
that is bound to destroy the famous
document. The subject was brought
up again recently by members of
tourist party from idaho, who said
they had come all the way to Wash
ington for peek at the Declara-
tion.
Officials Of the congressional H.
brary are experiencing difficulty in
developing suitable case for the
exhibit, and officials generally are
determined that no needless chances
will be taken with the document

therefore was able to take his
place in the ceremonies attend
ing the christening with a brand
