 Tacoma. Wash. Hundreds of thousands of women annually file in come tax returns and pay income tax. No official estimate of the num- Der of such returns for the year 1923 can be given. said Burns Poe, Col lector Of internal Revenue for the District of Washinston. but statis ties of incomes for the year 192i- the latest compilation of such fig ures-show that for that year the number was approximately S00.O00. The tax assessed on the incomes re- ported by women was more than Sill 100000. Of the total number of returns filed by women. S9.oon were by wives who made separate re- turns from husbands. The amount of tax collected from this source was approximately s43.500,0OO.
 More than 100000 women filed returns as heads of families by reas- on of the support in one household of one or more relatives. The ex- emptions allowed the head of fam ily are S2.5O0 where the net income was $6 900 or less. and $2.000 where the net income exceeded $5.000. Tax collections from these women am ounted 10 approximately $1o.0Oo.- 900. In addition there were filed approximately 600,000 returns by single women. in which term is in cluded widows. divorcees and women living apart from their husbands. The amount of tax from this source was more than s5S,00o,000.
 | A woman who was widowed during the year 1923. unless the head of a family. or remarried on or before December 31. 1928, may claim only an exemption of s1.o00. said MT Poe. A wife supporting an invalid husband in a sanitarium is entitled to an exemtpion of $2.500. or s2.00( according to whether her income i. 5000 or less or in excess of $5. 900. The separation is one of ne icessity, and she is not considered fol income tax purposes to be "livin, apart" from her husband. If. how ever, there is continuous voluntar, separation between husband ant wife, each must take the status of { single person in respect to incom tax. "F1le your income tax returl early" is a slogan that applies es tpecfaiiy to women. who thus vii avoid the congestion occurring i collectors offices during the elosin

THE MOST IMPORTANT PEOPLE

Where does the supreme power lie today With
school teachers says H. G. Wells. But they do not
realize is. They are class, "shy and retlrng
souls" In an address to teachers in London, Mr.;
Wells maintains that they ought to be arrogant and
aggressive and take hold of the world, because they
they are the most important people on earth
Some of those listening pedagogues laughed. But
Mr. Wells did not laugh II want to teach shameless
ness to school teachers he declared. Il want to teach
them arrogance and aggressiveness' He insists that
such qualities belong by right to educators rather than
to soldiers and mtarStic statesmen
Human life has to be reconstructed, and when 1t
is school teachers will be the very soul and center of
it. he says. Only by and through heroic teachers can
there be any escape from he dstressfu and unsatis
factory life that mankind lives today
Many Americans may net regard this life as so
"dstressfu and unsatisfactory, and think that their
teachers are doing we'll enough matters stand But
as regards the civilized world in general the British
author is probably right And even here In America,
where teachers occupy more honorable and lnfluen-
tial position than they do in many other lands they
are far from being rated at their worth-or rating
themselves at their true worth. They need to hold
their heads higher trust to their judgment,
insist freedom and teach with more power.

"THE WOMAN BUYS"

Advertising men have corollary to the theorem
that "The woman pays" It is, THE woman buys.
Sell to her and you sell to all"
"Nnety-five per cent fall the buying in the Unit
ed States is done, directly indirectly, by women"
declares the advertising director of the American
Electric Railway Association. Men may think they do
their own buying, but they don't says this authority
Even if the wife doesn't go to the taiors with her hus
band, her influence does.
What is true in regard to the buying Of food and
clothing and household goods the authority continues
is equally true of street rides, gas fuel electric
lights and telephone service This looks if
were business partners in the home today Instead of
meekly requesting a dollar for the days purchases
they the family check book and take care of all the
routine buying and bill-paying thus releasing hus-

SPAR ENJOYS GOOD
BUSINESS FROM START

Aberdeen's new recreation parlor
and fountain lunch, The Spar Inc, at
PIG East Heron reports good business
since the opening in October. Ac-
cording to R. F. Trogdon, treasurer
of the firm business has so far been
far beyond the expectations of the
owners.
After closely investigating business
conditions and the possible future Of
all the principal cities on the coast
from the Canadian border to the
California line, this city was chosen
as the best location to merge such an
enterprise. The Spar represents an
investment of $4,000. Has a SO-foot
lunch counter with 10 chairs and the
latest culinary equipment obtainable,
four billiard and pool tables Of latest
design, card tables and cigar counter.
The Spar is an information head
quarters for all sporting events.
The officers are Guy J. Hayden,
Pres, w. A. Serruys, Vice Pres, and
R. F. Trogdon, Treasurer. The sue
cess of the firm is largely due to the
previous experience of these men in
other cities. Mr.. Hayden having
been in a similar business in Kenne-
wick, Wash. R. F. Trogdon, former

limit by law the hours Of work of
adult men, but the cotton unions had
learned from experience that in eff
feet the women's factory day was
passed on to the men working with
them, and the mems battle was fought
from behind with women's petit
coats" Mr. Fawcett, on behalf of the
suffrage societies, moved in Parlia-
ment to delete the word women"
from the Bill, but failed to carry his
amendment except in so far as it
related to work in private houses.
The Women's Trade Union League
followed at first the feminist policy
Of its founders, and during the sew
entities was loud in denouncing one
and all restrictions on women's labour
including protection after childbirth.
This attitude on the part of the
League brought it time and again in
to conflict with the mems trade I'M
ions, more especially with the tex
tile unions which included already a
considerable body of women mem
bers, but some support for its views
was gained for q time among the lit
tie societies of women workers es-
tablished through its labours, and re-
naming directly under. its influence.
As, however, the League became less
wholly dependent on middle-class
support, losing its "philanthropic"
character and coming more closely in
to contact with industrial facts, there
was a complete change of policy. Be-
fore the end of the eighties the
League was actively engaged in or
ganizing the famous campaign Of the
laundresses, who claimed their right
to come within the Factory Acts, and
whole-hearted support was given to
the potters' unions in the agitation
which led to the Potters' Charter of
1891, when power was given to the
Home Secretary to prohibit women's
employment in certain white lead
processes. The League critized
severely "the action of some we'll
meaning ladies who brought up to
London the healthiest pottery workers
they could find in order to protest
against interference"
