From what can hear, this O'Con-

That puffy gent is Punk Scofield

he holds down two jobs; one with the

two hundred fish a month from each

work to me. But this jasper travels

YOUR FEDERAL INCOME TAX
How To Avoid Common Errors by
the Bureau of Internal Revenue

! The period for the filing of in
come-tax returns covering the cal
endar year 1889 began January l
and ends at midnight of March 10,
1910. To file early is of mutual
benefit to the Government and the
taxpayer. Within this period are
filed annually millions of individual
! income-tax returns, large pro-
portion of which report income sub
ject to the tax. The latter contain
considerable percentage of errors,
which if uncorrected by the audit
would result to the disadvantage CT
the taxpayer. Many are errors of
computation easily discovered on
the face of the return, which US
ually is accompanied by payment
Of more than the amount of tax
due. In other returns it is readily
discernible that the taxpayer has
failed to take advantage of the per
sonal exemption, credit allowed for
dependents, or deductions from
gross income to which he is en-
titled.
To avoid these and other errors,
the Bureau of Internal Revenue
urges careful reading of the in
structions accompanying the forms
for filing the returns. Additional
information, if needed, may be OBJ
tanned at the Office of a collector of
internal revenue. deputy collector,
or an internal revenue agent in
charge. A taxpayer who applies
to a revenue officer for assistance
in preparing his return should take
with him a copy Of his prior year
return. Also, as a further aid in
the preparation of a correct in
come-tax return for the year 1889,
the Bureau has prepared series of
short newspaper articles, of which
this is the first, advising the sal
aried man, wage Garner, profession
al and business MANN fact, every
class of individual taxpayer-of the
requirements and privileges under
the income-tax law as interpreted
under the latest regulations, rul-
ings, and decisions.

COLD WEATHER
SAFETY HINTS
Motorists Warned of the Many
Added Hazards of Winter
Driving by Safety Council
WORN TIRES DANGEROUS

The Delaware Safety Council of
fers the following important in
structions for safe winter driving
The Council urges that these in
structions be followed by motorists
especially since we are now in the
midst of adverse winter conditions.
1. Check electrical and exhaust
systems, and windshield wiper, and
keep brakes equalized. Keep de-
frosters, heaters, tire chains and
other special equipment in good
condition.
2 Maintain adequate vision
through windshield and windows at
all times. Circulate fresh air by
opening the cowl ventilator with or
without opening side windows, since
opening side windows alone reduces
inside air pressure and sucks ex-
haust gases through foorboards.
8. On slippery surfaces, keep
speed down and the car in gear.
Avoid situations requiring quick
stops and sudden changes in direc-
tion.
A. Speeds on ice should not ex-
ceed 10 to 25 miles per hour with
abrasives on the ice or with tire
chains Chains or abrasives pro-
vide a safety factor that is made
quate at higher speeds. Without
them, speeds lower than IS to 20
miles per hour are necessary. On
turns and curves speeds with or
without chains must be reduced.
5. The common practices of low
ering tire pressure or of increasing
the load give only slightly greater
traction and are not recommended
for all around safety. Non-skid
tread tires are helpful on wet pave
ment and to a certain extent on
snow, but they give no more anti
skid protection on ice than smooth
tires.
6. On wet and even dry pave
ment, always anticipate ice on
bridges, in shaded spots. around
curves and over hills, when thaw-
ing temperatures are dropping, and
drive cautiously.
z. To avoid spinning the rear
wheels on ice, start by releasing
the clutch slowly with engine idling
and car in low gear, and accelerate
cautiously. Without chains on an
icy road, it is unsafe to overtake
vehicles in urban areas and haz-
ardous in rural areas unless the
road ahead is clear for at least one
half mile.
8. Keep steady foot on the ac-
celerator to avoid spinning the rear
wheels. If skid starts, turn the
front wheels in the direction the
rear is skidding.
9. Shorten trips and stop fire.
quently to relax when conditions
are bad. If possible, postpone or
interrupt trips during snow storms
or fogs.

DOLLAR DAY AT
WILMINGTON
Semi-Annual Event to be Con-
Quoted by More Than a Hun
dred Merchants on Feb. z
FOR ONE DAY ONLY

The Mercantile Section of the
Wilmington Chamber of Commerce
has announced that the next regu-
lar semi-annual Dollar Day. will
be conducted by Wilmington mer-
chants on Wednesday, February T.
AS usual, practically every retail
merchant in Wilmington will par
ticipate in the event, which will be
under the direct supervision of
special committee of the Mercantile
Section, of which Edward A Munich.
Wilmington business executive we'll
known to retail shoppers through
out the Peninsula, is chairman.
A survey just completed by
Chairman Munich discloses that
Wilmington merchants are making
every possible effort to insure that
the coming Dollar Day" will
eclipse all former efforts in the
long series, from the viewpoint of
the shopper. His preliminary sur
vey indicates that all previous rec
ords for bargains offered, diversity
of selection and values will be
broken.
Offerings to the visiting shoppers
will represent the last word in sea-
sonal merchandise of every possible
character, either for personal wear
or for utilitarian purposes in
homes. The committee desires to
stress that these Dollar Days" are
by no means confined to wearing
apparel and kindred lines, but in
clude all kinds of merchandise for
all kinds of uses.
More than a hundred retail mer-
chants are participating in the Feb
ruary Dollar Day" Weeks have
been devoted to busy preparation
to present for the selection of shop
pers the best possible array of first
class merchandise of every char
acter at real, worthwhile bargain
prices. Wholesale markets have
been literally combed, drastic price
reductions which could be arranged
without sacrificing quality of mer-
chandise have been arranged, and
detailed arrangements for handling
and servicing unusual crowds have
been made.
AS usual, Dollar Day" official
stores will be so designated by
window streamers, and window
cards bearing the copyrighted en-
blem of the Chamber of Commerce.
