League for Peace, Democ= racy Sponsors Affair at
 Second Church

Si-Lan Chen danced at Davenport hall last night for the benefit of the Chinese medical fund. The pro- gram, presented by the China Aid Council of the American League for Peace and Democracy, was well re- ceived, and a collection taken dur ing intermission netted about $25. The $25 was turned over to a fund for food for Chinese.
 Rev. Alison J. Smith, chairman of the league presided and introduced Mrs. Willard Uphaus of New Haven, former Chinese missionary school teacher.
 Miss Si-Lan was accompanied by Emil Koehler, who announced her program. Several of her dances were based on present life in China, sa- tires on Spanish dancer, debu- tante, patriotic matron and an eSthete.

CHAPTER XVII

Betty Mary changed her original plan when circumstances enabled her to meet Luis Barro in person.
 She had thought at first to learn what she could about him through his helpers and agents, using the cartridge token which had proved so valuable to her. But there were some important details of his big ger plans which Barro did not tell his Juarez spotters and spies, she had discovered. Of the three or four of his band which she had been able to contact conf1dentially posing as a member of his band herself = not one knew just what night he planned to make the crossing with his large number of aliens, nor where the crossing was to be made. She felt that she had to make desperate effort to learn these essentials details, in order to help the American officers.
 She decided, therefore, to be even more audacious in her act with Barro, if necessary. She could act very confidential with him and say that she had five wealthy for eign friends whom she was anx- ious to have smuggled into the United States. Appealing to him for help, he probably would rise to the part and take on the job himself, thus revealing his own plans. In the showdown, she could say that her five friends were de- layed in coming to Juarez.
 Accordingly, she set out to find Barro.
 He was not in his suite of hotel rooms, and had left no message.
 He had not been seen for more than "A hours at Fl Casino Teco- lote, the manager there. said. The manager there had not responded to her .22 cartridge token, as had the manager in The Place of the Sleeping Monk, but her cart ridge had opened somewhat the confidence of Casino waiter. After she casually laid it on hre table one day with her lipstick, the waiter also had placed a cartridge beside her menu momentarily, and had al- ways maneuvered to serve her when ever she came in after that. Today she went to his table and spoke to him.
 T am anxious to see Luis, soon," she murmured, apparently discuss ing the menu. Where can I see him now?"
 "Yes, miss. With the cheese toasted as usual?" he replied. Then in @ lower tone, "Is not in town. Is at his rancho. Want me to send a message?"
 Is it fresh cheese, waiter?- No, must see him myself"
 "Very fresh. A new kind. You will love it, miss.-You want Gar cia to take you out?"
 Betty Mary hadn't heard of Gar cia.
 Who was hep She deduced, thinking quickly, that he must be another of Barro's henchmen. Probably a closely trusted, hence dangerous, one. And yet, he might be extremely valuable to her. She decided to risk it.
 That will be fine" she nodded knowingly at the waiter and he went away to fill her order for food. When he came with dessert he bowed and spoke again.
 Docs the senorita wish anything else? - Garcia will be near the plaza, the taxicab with red dots on the wheel hub caps. Within an hour"
 NO thank you," she smiled at him, and was careful to leave a tip, to mislead any other diners who might be watching. But 1t

Whot Did Washington Mean by Isolation?

NEARLY a century and a halt " after Washington delivered his Farewell Address and warned the young United States against the danger of entangling alliances, isolationists are using the first Presidents words to influence the present foreign policies of Amer ica.
 They point to the current crisis in Europe and call on the sup. port of Washington's words to contend that America has no place in the rising quarrel between the democracies and the dictatorships, that it should let Europe settle it's own battles.
 There is another school of thought, however, holding that Washington never meant that; that what the first President said applied only to the America of his day. For instance, Washing ton was afraid of sectionalism in the growing young nation and he foresaw possibilities of Americans in the new west casting their lot with the French or the British: He saw furthermore, the danger of whole states forming alliances with other governments for sec tional purposes. Even as late as 1872 the Hartford convention was called to discuss possible alliance with England during the War of 1912, thus bearing out the very truth that Washington feared.
 So there may be grave question today about what the father of the country meant. In any event his words are particularly timely. Washington is shown above on a U. S. stamp of the series of 1894, 2-cent carmine, enlarged.

Protection Against Commercials Provided for Purchasers of Alaskan Indian Handicraft
 Work

Regulations recently promul- gated by the Indian Arts and Crafts Board and approved by the Acting Secretary of the In terior. which call for the appli- cation of an official marking on Alaska Indian and Eskimo pro- ducts. are expected to go far in encouraging and protecting the market of the native artisans who do this work and to provide equally valuable protection to purchasers of native-made goods by warranting their genuineness.
 A rubber stamp will be fur nished by the Indian Arts and Crafts Board with which to mark genuine handmade Alaska h. dian and Eskimo products which provide a surface suitable for stamp impressions. A wire with lead seal to be affixed to baskets and fabrics and other products not suitable for stamping will be provided by the Board to mark such articles as genuine. The law provides penalties up to 6 months imprisonment and $2,0O0 fine for reproducing or initiating the official markings.

YOUR FEDERAL INCOME TAX
Forms For Making Returns

Forms for filing returns of in- come for 1888 have been sent to persons who filed returns last year. Failure to receive a form, however, does not relieve "a tax payer of his obligation to file his return and pay the tax on time on or before March 15 if the re- turn is made on the calendar year basis. as is the case with most individuals.
 Forms may be obtained upon request, written or personal, from the offices of collectors of internal revenue and deputy col lectors. A person whose net in come for 1888 was derived chief ly from salary or wages and was not in excess of $5,OOO should make his return on Form 1040 A. A person whose net income was in excess of $5,O00, or regardless of amount, was derived from a business, profession, rents, or sale of property, is required to use Form 1040. Failure to use the proper forms present difficulties to both the taxpayer and the Blu ueau of Internal Revenue. There fore, it is emphasized that tax payer who is liable for a return and is engaged in "a business or profession from which he deriv- ed net income of less than $5,000 is required to use Form l04O.5s.s
 The return must be filed with the collector. of internal revenue for the district in which the tax payer has his legal residence or principal place of business on or before midnight of March 15, 1859. The tax may be paid in full at the time of filing the return Or in four equal installments, due on or before March Is, June IS, September Is. and December IS.
