- lege, Vermont, in 1854, Ed
ward w. Wilcox, 102-year old teacher
and soldier, was looking forward to
the Middlebury dinner at the La Fay
cite Hotel tonight.
Still mentally alert despite his ad-
vanced age, Wilcox recalled the good
old days" at Middlebury where the
weather was so cold that classes had
to be suspended for a time each Win
ter and the students taught school
around the country side during the
enforced vacation.
The 100 or so students were kept
pretty much in hand by the profess
sors, he said, and they had to put in
a good six hours of work each day in
the classics" and history. There was
no such thing as a current events
class or present-day extra curricular
activities.

"Still we had our fun" the old

used to turn the chapel bell upside

alumnus recalled were base ball games

.LAST-M|NUTE RUSH.
ON INCOME TAXES
Between 1000 and 5000
Washingtonians Expected
to File Today.
Between 1000 and 5000 Washing

Between 1000 and 5000 Washing.
tonians were expected to file their
income tax returns before the deadline
at midnight tonight at the local office
Of the deputy collector in the Internal
Revenue Building, Twelfth street and
Constitution avenue.
At the opening hour this morning
there was surprisingly small crowd
on hand, considerin gthe week end
opportunity for making out belated
returns. But the door of room 1902
was opened about $40 and this helped
to Whittle down the numbers still
faster.
The long corridors presented an en-
tirely different picture from the one
Saturday, when the line ran for more
than block and turned the corner
of the middle corridor eastward. Dur
ing the first hour only about 500
taxpayers filed.
Meantime, Secretary OF the Treas
ury Morgenthau expected March in
come tax throughout the Nation to
total about ss4o 900, 600. From these
collections, the Secretary intends to
retire $300,000,000 Of maturing dis
count bills and pay about $50, 0,000, 900
interest on the public debt. New bills
are being issued to replace those to
be retired, however, and the Treasury
thus will have about $3.50, 100000 ad-
ditional money in March for general
spending purposes.
If predictions on March income are
borne out, tax income may balance
with expenditures for the rest of this
fiscal year, ending June 80.
Besides the income tax receipts, COL
lections under taxing provisions of
the social security act will put sub
stantial sums into the Federal till.
In addition to the Washington filing
at the local tax Office, flood Of re-
turns was pouring into the Office of the
collertor of internal revenue at Bal
timore. headquarters for this collec-
ton district. While a few of the
larger corporations and wealthy indi-
viduals here file at the local Office,
most of the largest returns go direct
by mail to the Baltimore Office Most
Of the big returns are delayed until the
last day. so the taxpayer may have the
use of his funds up to the last.
Most taxpayers fill out their own
returns, according to Charles T. Rus
sell, head Of the income tax unit.
Sometimes they make simple arithmet-
ical errors, but on the whole their
mistakes are honest ones.
Confusion on Debts.
The greatest confusion, he said,
arises in deducting bad debts or stock
losses. These are allowable as deduc-
tions only in the year during which
they occur, but many Taxpayer at
tempt to deduct losses which occurred
In previous years. Often, Russell ex-
planned, they are not aware of the
losses until some time after they have
occurred.
The local Office here will remain
open up until the deadline at midnight,
with some experts on hand even
through the luncheon and dinner
hours.
Returns placed in the mails are
supposed to be mailed In time to reach
the collector at Baltimore, before the
hour Of midnight.

PUBLIC AID ASKED
IN RELIEF APPEAL
Clergymen in Pulpit Pleas
for Drive of Social
Agencies Council.

A number of Washington clergymen
made pleas from their pulpits YES
terday for active public support for
the drive Of the Council of Social
Agencies to obtain public funds for
5000 employables who are unable
to get work or relief.
Registration Office Opened.
In an effort to emphasize to Con-

employables, the District Workers
Alliance today opened a temporary
Office at room 40, 8l0 F street, for the
registration of jobless persons in

all week, daily from 4 pm. to Z pm.

CATION IN the campaign for funds,
Rev. Mr.. Perkins made the follow
ing statement
Il want to call your attention to a
situation. in Washington that is a
challenge to every instinct of our
common humanity. At least 5000
people, able and willing to work. O,
10000 people, including their de-
pendents, can obtain neither work nor
relief, public or private. w. P. A.
Jobs, which are supposed to provide
Tor the employable people, are not
enough to go around and are likely
to be diminished In number. The
relief funds Of the Board of Public
Welfare are for unemployable people
only. Private agencies have more
than they can care for now. Only a
public appropriation for relief to the
Board OF Public Welfare, large enough
to care for the employable people
who have not been absorbed into pri-
vate industry, can meet the need.

TT will be necessary to add sl,0O0,-
900 to the recommended appropria-
ton of 81, ,465,0 900 for the fiscal year
beginning July l, 1887. We are not
asking for Federal grant as a favor
TO washington, we are simply asking
that Washington be equipped to do
what the Federal Government is
expecting every city and State to
do The national administration is
expecting cities and States to as
sumo as local responsibility, in ad-
dition to the relief of unemployed BILE
people, relief to men and women
able to work for whom no work is
available. We cannot appropriate
money for that ourselves. We can,
and do, ask Congress, which is our
City Council, to appropriate it for
U.s.
1T Is nothing short Of q national
disgrace that under the shadow of
the Capitol and the White House,
helpless men, women and children
are slowly facing starvation. evictions
disease breeding and crime breeding
conditions. That is the sober truth
known to all who know the facts
Every public-spirited citizen, every
lover Of the good name of Washing
ton, and of his fellowman, should
unite In demanding Of the Appropria-
tions Committees of the House and
Senate that money be provided to
end this tragic situation. Let it not
be said Of the Nations Capital that
1t is the one city in the United States
that will penalize the employable
man for being able to work when work
cannot be found"

FATE TAX WARS

be done by the erection of barriers by one
state against the products of other states,
the Milwaukee Journal takes its own
state to task for starting the movement,
and points out what is happening through
following. Wisconsin's example.
Illinois proposes to tax Texas natural
gas at rate which will keep the Texas
product out. Massachusetts, proposes to
tax outside beer at higher rate than beer
produced within its borders.
The Texas Legislature warns Illinois
that levy and collection of its proposed
tax on Texas gas would probably cause
retaliatory steps to be taken against sale
Tin Texas) of sizeable amounts of prod
ucts produced in Illinois,
The Wisconsin Legislature has before
i bill which would close Wisconsin mar
kets entirely to alcoholic beverages pro-
duced in states which may adopt a dis
criminatory" tax on Wisconsin beer.
Thus does the battle of the states pro-
coed in this year 1887. Wisconsin is hard
ly in a position to complain much, for it
originated the present movement with its
prohibitive tax on oleomaragine 1t
should now be able to see where this type
Of legislation leads.
When one state begins to be selfish in
its regulations. it arouses animosities in
other states which are, or which fancy they
are. damaged by the discriminatory legis-
lation. Since all states must depend on
markets in other states to absorb the sur
plus of their major products. the results
are likely to be tragic.

heavily if they failed to mend their ways.
He was of the opinion that only few
of our young people are to be blamed en-
tirely fortheir mistakes, that most of them
are misled by older persons and that we'll

center upon athletics and properly super

Every town and city, regardless Of
size, has among its problems the age-old
puzzle of Straying youth. It can be faced
with intelligence only if there is an intelli-
gent study of each local situation. No
community needs outside experts or vast
financial OUTLAWS to make progress locally.
About the only things needed are an inter-
est in youth, belief that the race can be
improved through its young people and a
willingness to give some time and
thought to the peculiar problems that
exist.

FLAG DAY. JUNE Il

Following the use Of flags Of various
designs BY the several American colonies
during the early years of the Revolution.
an act was passed by the Continental Con-
gress on June IA. TIT. which provided as
follows:
THAT the flag of the United States be
thirteen stripes of alternating red and
white, and that the union be- thirteen
stars. white. on blue field, representing
a new constellation y ia
In the first flag the thirteen stars
were arranged in circle, and after the
admission of Vermont and Kentucky to
statehood the number of stars and stripes
was each increased to fifteen.
It became evident that with the adj
mission of more states the number of addi-
tional stripes necessary to represent them
would make the flag unwieldly, so in
1913 the present arrangement of thirteen
stripes, representing the original colonies,
and a star for each state was adopted.
In commemoration of the adoption of
the flag by Congress in TIT, June Ia is
celebrated throughout the nation as Flag
Day, fitting occasion upon which to re-
new allegiance to the flag and all for
