Gold Prices Lure
 Victorian Trinkets
 to London Mmket

LONDON, March d5.-"Thar's gold in them thar houses" of both the opulent and the poor, and it is being unearthed and sold to jewellers for the increased price which has prevailed since suspens- ion of the gold standard.
 Old watch chains, particularly the heavy ones of Edwardian days, rings which have not been worn for many decades, necklaces, lockets of Victoria's times+.all are being taken to gold buyers.
 Gold was worth only 83 shillings an ounce in the day of a pound sterling at par, but at the present rate it brings 12O shillings an ounce.
 Some smaller jewellers, hard pres- sed for money, have found it profitable even to melt jewelry with a high gold content and sell it at the increased price. They make a nicer profit than if they had held the articles for retailing.

Income Tax ''Battle'' Is On 4 gain in U. s.

WASHINGTON, March 15. -- Money earners, big and small, are in the thick of the annual battle with income tax blanks-while the ! government faces a slump in re- ceipts probably more precipitate than that of a year ago.
 The scramble to file returns on incomes received during 1881 ends at midnight tonight. The tax rate will be the same as last year-but on much diminished incomes. Any new tax legislation will apply to 1892 incomes to be paid next year. So far as income taxes are con cerned 1881 is a big question mark. Taxable incomes declined so much in 1880 from 1929, that-with con- tinued unsettled business treasury officials hesitate to estimate what they are going to receive this March IS.
 Money received from taxes on 1929 incomes was about $2,250, 900, : 000 It fell to about 1,250, ,oOO, 900 in 1880.
 Comparison Of Incomes Particularly revealing is the con- parison of incomes by classes in the two years. While receipts from in- comes 5000 or under more than doubled. in the higher brackets where most of the receipts come from-it fell drastically. For in stance, those with incomes of $500 900 or over paid almost $300, GOO 900 in 1929 against only $95,o00,00o in 1880.
 Also revealing is the decline in number of taxpayers. Out of the nations total 35 or 40 million gain fully employed persons, only 2,400,- 900 persons and 23l 900 corporations paid income taxes in the big year of 1929; while in 1881, persons num- bered 100000. and corporations 181 ,000.
 Corporation Incomes What has happened to income in the larger classes is shown in cor poration incomes, their net income falling from $7,500000, ,0O00 in 1929 to $l .400,O00000 in 1930 Net per- sonal income in the same period fell from $24 200 00,000 to ST, 7,2O0,- 100000.
  Single persons who had net in- come of $1 500 or more or a gross income of 5000 or more during 1881 must file rturns. So must married couples who had a net in- come of $3,500 or more or gross income of $5,000.
 There is one and one-half per cent normal tax on the first $4,0O0 in excess of the personal exemption and credits. There is three per cent normal tax on the next $4,000 and a five per cent tax on the bal ance of net income. Surtaxes apply to individual net incomes in excess of S10,O00.
 Revenue bureau officials say that while the vast majority of taxpay- CTS are careful to claim allowable exemptions, many fail to compute in their returns the credit of 25 per cent of the tax on the full amount of their earned net income.
