Rebellion Reported.


HENDAYE, Franco-Spanish From
tier, August LP.-Spanish insurgent
army officers at Irun declared today
they had received reports Of an An
archist rebellion at Albacete and other
important Spanish government CEN
ters.
The insurgents said that former Pre-
mier Francisco Largo Cabalero, ex-
treme Socialist leader, was reported to
be head Of the Anarchist movement.
Street fighting between international
volunteers and Spanish government
militiamen was going on in Albacete,
the insurgent officers asserted, with the
International troops won over to the
Anarchist side
On the war front, Government
forces in Eastern Spain threatened
today to push Generalissimo Fran
cisco Frances Teruel salient back in
its tracks, Madrid Valencia COM
manders reported.
They said frontal and flank attacks
by infantry and artillery from the
south and west of the Albarracin sec
tor had gouged insurgents out of new
ly won territory southwest Of Teruel,
Frances lower Aragon base.
Following yesterdays occupation Of
Frias, q mountain village 26 miles
west Of Teruel, permitting attacks on
the insurgent right flank, men and
guns were massed to drive a wedge
through the very center of the in
surgent front.
This threat-even before It was
fMflled-was said to have forced in
surgent withdrawal from heights near
Bezas, about II miles west and slight
" south Of Teruel.
1nsurgent Advices asserted, however,
that Franco's bombing planes, skim
ming the pine-clad peaks of the central
sector. and infantry worming over the
rocky terrain, had driven the govern
ment from important positions, in
Guiding Sierra de Ia Cruz, a strategic
peak between Valdecuenca and
Rubiales.
The insurgent communique said the
assault up the slopes of the mountain
and from the air killed 100 govern
ment militiamen and gave Franco 4
new feld base.

MINING REVIVAL MAKES MORE
 ROADS NECESSARY

The biggest thing to break in Alaska the last year is the advent of the machinery era in mining.
 Like an advance on great war front, mechanical mining equipment of every kind has been pouring into Alaska Thousands of tons have come into every min ing area of the Territory Ships have been loaded with and railroads and river steamers were busly engaged in completing deliveries.
 Caterpllars, tractors drills, draglines dredges hy draucs, hard-rock equipment-all kinds of machinery being used in tacklng innumerable new projects heretofore dormant.
 With all this revival in mining, the opening of new camps and revival of old the miner is up against it in many localities for road facilities.
 The Alaskan road program has been sorely ham, pered by the lack of funds It is time the powers awak ened to full realization of the necessity of roads in order to clear the way for further advance of the mining chnery procession and to facilitate the operations of those who have led the way in the invasion.
 The federal government will be big beneficiary from the new mining operations The producers and manufacturers in the States likewise will benefit The Territory whole shares immensely.
 The needed thing right now is for the legislators and those in administration and executive authority to jar loose from conservatism which has restricted the Alaska road building program and give to the mining communities of Alaska the roads which the new min ing demands-without which Alaska's biggest par ade will be bocked.-Fairbanks News-Miner

Income Tax Re- turns Must Be
 Filed March l5

1AOoh<h, Jdl. AopcId!J
 Approximately one hundred thou sand federal income tax return forms for the year 1886, which must be filed on or before March l5, are being mailed to individ- ual taxpayers today, it was an- nounced by Thor w. Henricksen, Acting Collector of Internal Rev enue.
 Except for few minor chang es in the form, covering the re- porting of dividend payments in- come which is now subject to normal tax rates, the forms are similar to those used by taxpay- CTS who filed returns for the year 1885. The normal rate of tax of four percent for individuals re- mains the same, as do the sur tax rates in the lower brackets. The Revenue Act of 1886 now in effect, however, covering 19- 36 incomes, has increased the surtax rates in the upper brack- cts of income.
 The filing of duplicate returns on the green forms is again re- quirement under the law and each taxpayer is being furnished such duplicate copy which must be filed with the original on March IS. This requirement be- came effective in 1885 and is con- tinued under the present law.
 Corporation income tax forms are not, as yet, available for dis tribution to taxpayers but will be mailed immediately upon their receipt from the government print ing office. The new revenue act requires corporations to pay a graduated rate of normal tax ranging from eight to fifteen per cent, replacing the former flat rate of thirteen and three-quar- ters per cent. All corporations are also subject to the new ex- cess profits tax and the surtax on undistributed profits, the rat es of which range from seven to twenty two percent.
 The statutory filing period for all calendar year income tax re- turns begins on January 1 and ends on March IS. Taxpayers are privileged to file their returns

Girls with freckles are always
being told how really flattering
those little rust spots are.
Never mind your freckles,"
say the glib ones, and they are
right, too, but only when we are
satisfied to keep on being
freckled and do nothing about it.
Then the proud little girl knows
where all Pollyannas belong and
we agree with her.
1t is a fact, however, that We
do not class freckles as blem-
ishes, and there is nothing dis
agreeable about them when the
skin is clean and healthy, but
neither are they beauty spots
and everyone would be rid OF
them if possible.
There is no permanent cure
for freckles, but they can always
be removed, and will generally
disappear, until the skin is ex-
posed to the same sunlight that
caused them before.
The fair-skinned girls or any
of the heliophobia class will
freckle whenever exposed to the
sun. but as one natures, the
skin becomes thicker and offers
more protection. The skin OF

persons whose skin retains its

seldom worry about freckles.
The most effective relief for
these decorations is skin peeling
and this, of course, will i'm
mediately remove enough of the
chiffon.like outer layer of the
skin to eliminate all freckleS,
and then one may keep the
same complexion for a long
time and possibly permanently,
provided the sunlight and ex-
posure is avoided.
We will remind you again,
however, not to attempt to do
skin peeling as a home treat
ment. It is a simple, and usually
quite harmless, operation when
done correctly, but the results
may be unsatisfactory if one
does not go to an expert.
There are some skins that
can be cleared with a few good
facials and packs. even the but
termilk facial and the lemon
packs will frequently be all that
is necessary. Then the facial
massage, too, can be followed at
home.
