PAYMENT SOUGHT
FOR CHECKS ON TAX.
U. S. Collector of Internal
Revenue Informs Makers
~ Collection Fails.

Washingtonians who drew income tax
checks on banks here which have not
yet reopened are receiving from the
Collector of Internal Revenue at Balti-
more notices that their Federal income
tax should be paid by some other means,
as the checks are not collectible.
The checks themselves, however, are
not being returned. to taxpayers but
are being held by the collector until the
tax is paid by some other check, money
order or cash.
Many persons already have called at
the local office of the deputy collector
of internal revenue at the Bureau of
Internal Revenue Building here, at
Twelfth street and Constitution avenue,
to clear their income tax record by
payment.
Three Methods Are Open.
In order to get back the old check.
which is being held at Baltimore, three
principal methods are open to the tax
payer, it was explained. He can either
put in the mail a new payment, go to
Baltimore and transact the deal over
the counter, or go to the local office
at Twelfth street and Constitution ave-
nue..
The letter from the collector inform
ing the taxpayer of the failure to collect
on his check should be included with the
new payment, 1t was explained, whether
payment is made in person or by mail.
When persons call and pay at the local
Office, it is estimated their old checks
will be returned in less than week.
There Is no danger that the Govern
ment would cash both the old check,
and also n new one sent to cover the
same tax, it was explained, as the system
in the collectors Office would prevent.
While some taxpayers expressed re-
luctance to send second check or make
second payment in cash for the bill,
until they had received their first check,
officials offered assurance that no du-
pllcation OF payment was at all likely.
But. II through any slip, the bill were
paid twice. there would be an automatic
refund to the taxpayer by check drawn
on the Treasury of the United States.
Dead" Checks Segregated.
At Baltimore, it was explained. the
collector has segregated the dead
checks in one special case, where tax
payers can 60 to pay their bills, and re-
ceive the old check back over the
counter in single transaction.
Here, in the local deputy collectors
office, it was explained that the great
majority OF people are paying by cash
indicating that many of these have MOI
! yet formed new bank connections, or else
preferred to make a cash transaction
J and not worry over another check.

president ROOSEVELT gave HIM
i self two hours off yesterday to
watch the hard-riding Cavalry
troopers at Fort Myer 60 through their
paces-and a gray haired top sergeant
will never forget it.
With admiration in his eyes, the
President watched the performance of
Sergt. Thomas D. Moffett, born so years
ago in County Cork. Ireland, but as
spry as the best of them when it comes
to feats of horsemanship.
All logged out in Wild West shirt and
chaps" and with Buffalo Bill"
goatee stuck on his chin. the griZzled
sergeant led a picked troop of cavalry
men in cowboy dress through a series
of stunts which wound up with a leap
through burning ring.
When Col Harry c. Cootes. COM
manding officer who sat beside the
President, told him Moffett had served
20 years and would retire next year. the
President exclaimed that he wanted to
see him.
TOO Young to Retire"
whats this I hear about you retir-
ing?" asked Mr.. Roosevelt, smiling
broadly and extending his hand as the
top sergeant, goatee and all, was
brought up into the stand. You are
not old enough to retire"
AS Moffitt stumblingly expressed his
thanks, Roosevelt smiled again and re-
marked emphatically. Good show!"
Most of the Roosevelt family drove
out through the bright Spring sun
shine to see the colorful Society Cir

Pending announcement that Del

spend 100000 on its share of the

eight miles from Ocean City, Md.
according to the opinion of Mayor

the coastal road link in Maryland

miles of concrete highway COM
pleted, Maryland has only six more
miles to construct. Mayor McCabe

of an impoverished nobleman, and
Sari Martha as the very charming
daughter of a bourgeois merchant.
Based on a story by I. A. r. Wylie,
the film tells how Franz, and Leila
Marshall and Maritza) meet at a
masked ball, and how Franz, who
had looked eagerly forward to sui
eide on the following morning,
finds that he wants to live so much
that he is even willing to accept
work as a paid entertainer in
cafe run by his former butler
There he meets Jenny Kent MARY
Boland), an American widow in
Vienna for a vacation, and quite
innocently, the simple-hearted Jen-
ny becomes the third in a strange
triangle The film is a charming
and delightful piece of entertain
ment, distinguished both by its
cast and by it's brilliant direction
at the hand of Stuart Walker.
Friday and Saturday wild
Horse Mesa. All the ingredients
that go to make an exciting West
ern picture speed, action, danger,
romance, and scenic beauty have
been crowded into wild Horse
Mesa, the Zane Grey film. Here
again is a story of strong men and
lawless justice, placed in a setting
Of wild natural beauty. The set
ting, named in the title, was a high
table-land which served as the last
refuge for the greatest wild horse
herd in the West, descendants Of
blooded animals that had escaped
from early Spanish explorers. The
land, and the horses thereon, be-
longed to the Indians, according to
government decree, and the story
deals with the efforts of a band of
horse thieves to capture and sell
the wild horses. Randolph Scott,
Sally Blame, Fred Kohler, Lucille
La Verne, Charley Grapewin and
Jim Thorpe, Carlisle Indian foot
ball star, play the leading roles in
the movie version.
Monday Tuesday-"He Learn
ed About Women" an amusing
comedy dealing with the adven-
lures of a young man who had
$5O,000,0OO, but who had never
been kissed. Stuart Erwin, Alison
Skipworth, Susan Fleming, Grant
Mitchell and Gordon Westcott head
the cast. Erwin, again wearing
his famous bewildered expression,
plays the role of the wealthy, but
unkissed, youngster, who decides
it's time he learned a few things
about life On his first excursion
into the world he stumbles onto
Miss Skipworth, an old actress who
has seen better days, and Miss
Fleming, a stenographer, whose
services are being offered at an
auction conducted for the benefit
Of the jobless. He hires them both.
Then the fun begins. Miss Skip
worth craftily grooms the younger
woman for the job Of wife, not Sec
retary. Meanwhile her own hus-
band and an unscrupulous compan-
ion try to chisel their way in. The
complications that result are swift
and comic. They bring a startling
conclusion.
