Midnight tomorrow is the
deadline for filing income tax
returns and, according to r.
w. Little, deputy collector of
the internal revenue office,
many local residents are appar-
emily labOring under delusiOn
in connection with their liabil-
ity to nay tax.
Little explained today that
married persons, whose gross in
come, whether from husband
and wife or husband alone, is
$500 or more, must file an in
come tax return, regardless of
the number of dependents.
Some, Little state, are of the
opinion that married persons
must have an income of at
least $4,000 before they are liable
to nay an income tax, and this
idea is erroneous. The $1,000
limit applies to business and not
to individuals.
Also, the deputy collector ex-
planned, single persons whose
income is S1,500 or more, must

GERMAN VOTES
BRING VICTORY
TO HINDENBURG
Hitlerites Badly Beaten
In Preliminary E le c.
ton For President.
By ERIC KEYSER
United Press Staff Correspondent

BERLIN, March IA. - President
Paul Won Hindenburg, seeking re-
election in what may be the last
battle of glorious career, urned
back a Fascist bid for power in the
presidential election Sunday, but
failed to win an absolute majority
over four candidates opposing him.
Won Hindenburg led his neares5
rival, the dapper Adolf Hitler, who
heads the German Fascists, by
more than 100000 votes. Official
figures in preliminary final re-
turns showed the president had
failed by 168,453 votes to win an
absolute majority, so a second bal
lot will be necessary in April be-
tween the two leaders.
The total vote Sunday was ap-
proXimately 37,660,377 out of a.
100000 qualified voters. 1t broke
all German records. The election
was orderly.

candidates with preliminary final

Winter, a lawyer now in Jail in
Saxony, represented the League OF
Creditors of the Reicbbank" and
demanded the valorization of pre-
war German currency. His candi-
dacy was not taken seriously, but
Hindenburg supporters believed that
it split votes, preventing the pres
ident from obtaining an absolute
majority.
Won Hindenburg, field marshal
whose line across the western front
was the last defense of Imperial
Germany, received one of the great
est popular tributes ever given a
public figure in Germany. The "a
year-old executive had been called
from retirement to become presi-
dent of the republic.
April Victory Certain
Hitler, who had Staked everything
on prospect of complete Fascist
victory or defeat which might ruin
his party, failed to make the politi-
cal gains he predicted.
The government expressed COM
plete confidence that Won linden

that Germany is determined to con-
tinue along a moderate path in in
ternal and international affairs
Election of Hitler would have given
the "Nazis" opportunity to carry
out their extremist and radical
threats.
The Fascists increased their vote
in sections where no election had
been held since 1880, but showed no
important gains in districts in
which voting was held last year
The Fascist increase over the 1890
vote was 181 per cent in Wuert'
| temberg, 104 per cent in Hessen; 12C
per cent in Lower Bavaria; "a per
cent in Liebnitz. No elections were
held in these districts in 1881.
Failure of the Communists to in
crease their strength was sur

alist vote intact compared with the

So far, it is authoritatively

Yet the government has become
aware of a more friendly feeling

PUBLIC IS BACK
IN AUTO MART
BY d. J. WILLOUGHBY
Ninn RrnalhnnA ninrrn


Perhaps at no time during the
last Is years has an automobile
show been awaited with the de-
gree and hopefulness of public
expectancy so evident this year.
On its part. the public has
a long-stored-up eagerness and
looks to manufacturers and the
entire industry to present good
reasons for returning to the
motor car market in an active
investment way.
The manufacturers and the
entire industry are no less eager
to meet the public expectations,
and it is no more than plain
truth to say that the new models
do richly meet those expectations
in their innovations, refinements
and advancements.
No, that is hardly enough, for
this years new offerings, in many
respects and many instances, so
far excel previous high levels
that they give the public every
reason Of economics and style
for returning to the market and
buying now.
Not only are the new cars,
speaking of them as a group,
far advanced mechanically and
in style, in body innovations,
niceties and luxuries, but prices
are on the most favorable basis
of any period past.

.DEPENDAB|LITy !.
AND BEAUTY IN
NEW DODGE

Even a hasty examination OF
the new skies and eights that are
being shown here for the first
time this week by Dodge Brothers
reveals the fact that this 17-year.
old manufacturer has cast aside
some Of its renowned conserva-
tism and called upon the genius
of it's famous engineering staff to
product a series of models Tor
1882 of which the founders them
selves could only be proud.
The closest inspection OF the
details of design, the quality OF
materials and the care in manu-
facture does not indicate the
slightest tendency to slight that
time-honored tradition for de-
pendability upon which the repu-
tation of Dodge motor cars has
stood. AS further proof of con.
tinued dependability, officials at
the Auto Show called attention
to the fact that the Dodge Mile
age Marathon car, one OF the
recent eight-cylinder sedans, fin
ished a year Of continuous run
ming during which over 1O1,OO0
miles were covered at total cost
of only 5 cents q mile.
The new beauty which Dodge
Brothers engineers introduced so
successfully into their line year
ago shows the effects of a great
deal of refinement in the new
cars with a modern conception. OF
graceful blending and softenlng
of body lines to produce an artistic
effect and effectively cut down
air resistance-the great power
user. Of course, longer wheel
bases and lower centers of gravity
are the two factors which more
than any others furnished the
medium through which to express
this delightful motif Of new beauty.
But tiny details, which a year or
so ago would have been considered
unworthy of attention, have been
shaped and moulded with telling
effect into the complete harmony
of design.
1t is stated by Dodge Brothers
officials, and doubtless without a
challenge, that the new SKIES and
eights represent the greatest
strides in engineering develop
ment ever made in a single year
by Dodge engineers, with the
biggest improvement in perfor'
nance.
The outstanding mechanical
features found on the new Dodge
cars for which the corporations
engineers are largely or wholly
responsible, are the automatic
clutch, floating power, free wheel
ing, silent gear selector, double
drop bridge-type frame, oilite
squeak-proof springs, silent sec
ond gear, mono-piece steel bodies
new brake drums and hydraulic
four-wheel brakes.

will bring together more than
1900 statesmen, dealers, aSso-
ciated bankers. zone and region
officials and central office eXecu-

Attendance will shatter all pre-

to the fact that both dealers and
