soldiers will be in the third division
of the parade Monday.
Maj. R. B. Evans, commander Of
the first section of the convoy, de-
clared the tanks could have come
under their own power from Fort
Knox, but that shipping them by
freight reduced the cost to about
one-third. The trucks and other
vehicles which brought the soldiers
had "a very successful march," he
SAID. and only minor repairs were
needed. There was not one instance
of a serious breakdown. he added,
nor was there a single accident, al
though the convoy extended 212
miles on the road.
Light Tanks Speedy.
The light tanks are the newest
type and are being produced at the
rate of four a day, according to
William S. Knudsen of the Ma
tional Defense Commission Cap
able of speeds in excess of 80 miles
an hour over fiat terrain, they are
armed with 81 millimeter cannon,
and several machine guns of vary
ing calibers.
The medium tanks to be shown,
believed to be most of those already
in use, are modern but are to be
replaced with a heavier model
scheduled to go into production soon
at a plant being constructed for
the Chrysler Corp. near Detroit.
The present model is armed with a
81 millimeter gun and machine
guns, but it has been reported that
the new tank will carry IS milli-
meter cannon and will be more
heavily armored as a result of ex-
periences in the European war.
The entire battalion will ride into
Washington from Fort Meade,
about Is miles, under It's own power
on Monday.

Commissioners Authorize
II Additional Police

In a move which will provide in
the immediate future for 27 addi-
tional police who may aid in the
campaign against traffic violations
and deaths on the highways. the
Commissioners yesterday approved
the employment of 20 new policemen
and seven new clerical workers for
the Police Department, which will
permit the release of seven officers
for regular police duty.
The action was taken on the re-
cent recommendation by Police
Supt. E. w. Brown, who found he
had sufficient unobligated appro-
priationS for the current fiscal year
to permit the additional personnel.
In connection with the current
studies being made of means of
reducing the traee5c toll, Maj. Brown
has asserted the need for d greatly
increased number of policemen. 1t
is expected at least some of the
prospective new policemen will be
detailed at least part time in traffic
control work.
In their budget for the next fiscal
year the Commissioners requested
funds for the employment of 20 ad-
ditional police and the employment
of five additional clerical workers,
on a permanent basis, and if this is
approved, the proposed 20 additional
police, to be hired now on tempor-
ary basis will become peruanent
employees.

25Added 10 D. T.. Staff
Handling Collection
OF Income Taxes
Office Changes Made
Also to Accommodate
Increase in Toxpoyers

To accommodate the increased
thousands of Washington income
taxpayers expected to thron
through the local Office of the
deputy collector of internal revenue
extensive changes have been made
in the Office in the Revenue Build
ing, and 25 additional deputies are
to be added to the staff.
The increase in number of tax
payers and amount of taxes is due
to the revised revenue act, designed
to help pay for the enormous cost
of national defense.
Already the regular Office of in
formation. headed by John McGrew
which for many years has been To-
Gated on the ground floor, Revenue
Building, near Twelfth street and
Constitution avenue NV, has been
transferred to make room for the
expanded staff of the deputy COL
lector. Some of this vacated space
has been renovated, and a few OF
the new deputies have been put on
duty there. Workmen are busy re-
modelling the rest of the space, and
soon will have it ready to take care
of still more deputies.
50 Now on Staff.
The total staff of the deputy COL
lector, with headquarters in room
1902, Revenue Building, now stands
at about so, and is expected to be
increased shortly to total Of CO.
These experts already are busy
taking care of early arrivals.
Mr.. McGrew and his staff of the
information service have been
moved to the third floor.
Revisions in the revenue act will
bring in thousands more returns,
including many which will not be
taxable
The principal differences between
last years income tax returns and
the new ones for the calendar year
1910 are that a defense tax of 10
per cent has been added; the re-
turns are made this year on the
basis of gross income instead of
met" and the exemptions are
lowered.
All single persons who make $500
gross" a year must file a return
this year, as compared to a figure
of $1,000 net" last year. For mar
ried persons all those who make
$4,000 gross this year must file, as
compared with figure of $4,000
net last year.
Exemptions Lowered.
Single persons are allowed an
exemption of $500 this year as
against $1,000 last year; and mar
ried persons are allowed exemption
of $4,000, as against s2,5O0 last year.
Credit for dependents remains at
$400 each.
The 10 per cent credit for earned
income is allowed the same as last
year, but the new 10 per cent de-
fense tax is added on top of the
net tax due. The tax rate is per
cent up to $4,000, when 1t jumps
to per cent, and rises on a slid
ing scale upwards to IS per cent
on all income over 5000, 900 a year.
Income tax blanks are being
mailed out to taxpayers on the list
last year, but thousands more will
become liable in addition to those
who filed last year. The returns,
along with at least one-fourth of
the tax, are due on or before
March Is. The returns may be filed
with the deputy collector here, or
mailed to Baltimore, which is head
quarters for this collection district
of Maryland and the District of
Columbia.
