ANOTHER PROBLEM

but IL also has brought
about another problem, namely,
SCOT in the gas passages Of
stoves, warm air furnaces and
boilers, particularly those that
are hand-fired.
"If you are getting a large
accumulation OF SCOT, we recon-
mend that you brush IL from
the air passages, the inside Of
the firebOx, and from the base
of the smOkepipe, at least
weekly 80 that the SCOT accumu-
lation will not impair seriously
the draft on the heating equip
ment, az IL il most probable
that further cold snaps will
occur before the end of this
heating season.

The Motion
By CHARLES GENTRY

IT WAS no Foolish Motor"
which prompted Philip Barry 10
write his current comedy starring
Tallulah Bankhead, which opened
at the CaSS last night, but rather
a most intriguing idea which won
the acclaim of a capacity nrSt-
night audience.
While il was not received so
enthusiastically in New York last
season. this first Theater Guild
Offering Of the season here has
been slightly altered and had one
important cast replacement 10
help hll the small room for I'M
proVement.
The result is actually an eNcit-
ing one. and while IL still remains
a tour de force for Miss Bank
head. il is also excellent theater.
The original suggestion is de-
rived from the Robert Burns
quotation, 20 wad some power
the Gifue gle US, To see ourSels
as itherS see US. II wad frae
monte a blundcr free US an fool
ish notion
The play is concerned with the
way several people. important in
the life of a flamboyant actress,
Sophie Wing. would see her re-
acting 10 a certain crisis.

SEVERAL REACTIONS

The first act presents the prob
lem which is what the glamorous
Sophie Wing, who is about 10
marry her co-star, is going 10 do
upon learning that her first hus-
band who has been reported miss
ing and is legally dead, is alive
and about TO pay her a slightly
delayed call
In the eyes of the co-star, Don.
aid Cook, he loses out; in the
eyes of the leering stage-Struck
father. the long-lost hero comes
into his own; in the melodramatic
eyes of the adopted child, they
kill off this Enoch Arden and in
the actress own vision, she sees
herself behaving rather disgrace
fully.
But what actually happens Is
of course, really something much
more rational.

New Income Tax
Rates Effective Jan. /

Joseph D. human, Jr., Commission
er of Internal Revenue, this week
called attention of employers and en-
ployees to the fact that January l
and January 81 are important dates
in connection with withholding of in
come tax from wages.
January l is the effective date for
the new rates of Withholding pre-
scribed by the Individual Income Tax
Act of 1914. BY terms of that Act.
the new rates apply to all wages paid
on and after January /, regardless OF
when the wages were earned. The
new rates are intended to adjust each
employees withholding more closely
to his actual income tax. The new
rates average about the same as the
old rates, but vary in individual
cases. Employers already have receiv-
ed detailed instructions in Circular
WT-Rev. 1914, additional copies of
which may be obtained at any collec-
tors Office.
January 81 is the deadline by
which tthe law requires employers
to furnish each employee withhold
ing Receipt on Form VIZ (Rev.)
showing how much wages were paid
| kim and how much income tax was
withheld from his wages during the
calendar year 1914. These receipts
have special importance this year,
because the new law authorizes most
employees to use their receipts as sim
plified income tax returns. This new
feature is explained in an official leaf.
/ let entitled How to Use Your With
holding Receipts as an Income Tax
ReRturn" and employers have been
asked to distribute copies to their
employees.
Commissioner Nunan also urged
employers to be especially careful
when preparing each withholding re.
ceipt, to show the employees home
as well as all other required infor-
nation. The home address and social
security number are vital for identi-
hcation purposes.
An employer is required to make
three copies of each Withholding re-
ceipt. He must give two copies to the
employee, so that the employee will
have one copy to use for his return
and another copy to keep. Also by
January 81, the employer must send
the third copy to the Collector OF
internal Revenue in his district, to-
gether with the regular Withholding
tax return (Form WIZ for the last
quarter of 1914 and a statement on
Form W3 reconciling the wage and
lax amounts as shown by the quar-
terly returns with the 81 m ! a l
amounts as shown ON tkte withhold
ing receipts.

THE PRICE OF FARM LANDS

Farm land values in many parts
of the United States have been ap-
proacking boom levels. The Farm Sc
curity Administration has been try
ing to regulate prices by stimulating
loans to enable buyers to make a
living and pay for their farms--over
an almost umthinkable period of for
ty years.
Bib business has been done in
stalking" tenant purchase loans, the
average amount of the loan being up
to $4,000.
The Government reports indicate
that imitation in the value and sale
of farm lands is far less than was
anticipated-judged by experience
in World War / when prices were
blown through the roof, and farms
were sold In the wheat and corn belts
at $500 to 500 an acre. Most Of
those lands had been held at prices
before the war, SO to 20 per cent
less That was imitation at its worst.
