Until Lost Day to
File Returns ;
BY the Associated Press.

6y tu0 A1DOCl2teo Ffe1e.
The Treasury hoped to count noore
than $500. 900 900 Of income taxes by
Friday midnight.
That is the desdline for fling
Federal returns on 1889 income for
an estimated 5000, 900 individuals
and corporations, including, for the
first time, all State and local gov
ernmental employees earning enough
to be affected.
Returns have been due, tech.
nically, since January /, but the
Treasury expects not more than one
person in 100 to do anything about
it until the last day.
The ofncial estimate Of how much
income tax will be collected this
month is a tightly held secret, but
guesses run as high as $3.50 900 900
and average $3.50, 900 900. In the first
week of March income tax payments
amounted only to 21,158, 1873, but
this was 5000, 900 more than in the
same week year ago. The total
for all Of March, 1899, was $505 ,0o0,-
600.
Experts in the Internal Revenue
Bureau say child could fill out
the income tax form-because .
child would simply follow the in
structions, without trying too hard
to reduce the tax total.

NEW YORK, March 9.-The

license and a job as an airplane

George Coping has no legs.
He lost his job, his savings and
his health early in the depression.
Through 1888, 1884 and part of 1885,
he lay, crippled, in the United States
Marine Hospital here. Finally they
had to amputate both legs before
they could release him as cured.
A newspaper (Seattle, Times)
Christmas fund presented him with
artificial limbs, and doctors told
him to learn to use them with the
aid Of canes. But George Coping
rebelled-tossed the canes away and
kept on falling down until he
learned to walk again.
He got w. p. A. timekeeper Job
But when his fellows looked at him
with pity George Coping rebelled
picked up a heavy swivel chair
and held it at arms length.
He'd flown few times 10 years
ago, but friends told him he might
have lost his touch. And, anyway,
legless guys just don't fly planes.
So George Coping rebelled again
He rigged an airplane tail as
sembly on two motorcycle wheels,
equipped 1t with controls and had
motorist friends tow him along q
highway at 80 miles an hour. :
Then he talked q pilot into giving
him . little flying time In exchange
for work around the hangar.
In 1887, George Coping won Q
restricted pilots license. It specf.
ned he never could have 4 private
license because of his disability. In
1888. when the Civil Aeronautics
Authority replaced the old Bureau
Of Air Commerce. his license was
revoked. 1t looked like he was
grounded for good.
But George Coping rebelled once
more.
He haunted the flying field until,
a year ago, Flight Instructor Jim
Calvin became interested In the
rebellion of George Coping. He
gave him free instruction and free
flying time.
Last fall the c. A. A. agreed to
give the legless rebel a rigid flight
test. He passed it with flying colors.
Last week George Coping won
an unrestricted flying license.
Today he got In his final cross
country flight time.
His logbook said che flew to
Olympia, Wash, and back But
Jim Calvin and the others who saw
his grin as he landed the little red
monoplane said he was flying to the
brighter and farther horizons that
braver eyes are given to see.
