the Borden clip race had been con
cluded. Dozens of persons, who were
on the ico at the time, were carried
out a considerable distance, and
doubtless many of them would have
perished but for the prompt work of
the coast guard-in effecting their res
cue. A short time, before the break
up occurred, a number of motor sleds
had been operating on the ice.
The ice moved.offshore a consider
able distance and then broke up, leav
ing numerous leads, which made res
cue both difficult and dangerous.
Members of the Anchorage Radio
Club are elated over the.success at
tending their efforts to locate Miles
Palmetier, for whom an inquiry was
broadcast recently in an effort to as
certain his whereabouts in order that
he might be apprised of the need of
his assistance in connection with the
settlement of his father's estate at
Walton, Delaward county, N. Y. The
missing man, who w'as last heard
from by his friends in the States sev
eral years ago in Seatte, is at present
engaged in trapping on the upper
Xanana, being located .on - Robin son
river.
The request for information was
broadcast last month from the An
chorage- station. A letter from Rob
ert Bloom, of Fairbanks, brought in
formation of the present whereabouts
of Palmetier.
it Hurt.
“Criticism should be just, but it
shouldn’t‘be brutal and cruel.”
' H„ L. Mencken, the New York lit
terateur, was complaining; about an
attack that ha<l been made on; one of
his essays.
“This kind of criticism;’’ hie went
on, rathei plaintively, “makes me feel
as bad as the farmer’s wife.
“A farmer’; wife sat with her hus
band looking at the undyads in the.
hack of a magazine. The ads' were
illustrated with photographs of the
loveliest girls in silk stockings- and
high-heeled shoes. These girls, wear
ing diaphonanous and costly undies,
lounged before mirrors or reclined ort
vast couches or smoked cigarets and
drank tea with their young husbands.
“The farmer’s write was >'■ thrilled.
She pointed to a ravishing girl in the ;
jnost ravisning undies anti saidn
“‘Don’t. you> think them undies
would become me. Bill?’
“ ‘Yfap,’ Bill grunied, and so would
that shape.’ ”

YOUR INCOME TAX. .
Your income tax for the year 1925'
is less, in proportion to your income, I
than was the tax for 1924. A rate re
duction, however, is not the only ben
efit afforded by . the revenue act of.
1920. Increase in the exemptions and
other changes in revenue legislation j
are of immediate interest to every
taxpayer.
The revenue act of 1926 requires i
that returns be filed by every single
person whose net income for. 1925 was
$1,500 or more, or whose gross income .
was $5,000 or more, and by everv j
married couple whose aggregate net
income was $3,500 or more,, or whose
aggregate gross income was $5,000 or
more. Last year returns were re-;
quired of married couples whose ag
gregate net income was $2,500 or*
more, and of single persons whose net j
income was $1,000 or more.. Husband
and wife, living together, may inilude
the income-' of each in a single joint
return, or each may fie a separate re
turn showing th eincome of each. Net j
income is gross income less certain
specified deductions for business ex j
penses, losses, bad debts, . contribn -.,
tioas, etc.
The period for filing iretunns ends.
March 15, 1926. The return, accom
panied by at least one-fourth of the
amount of tax due, must be filed with
the collector of internal revenue for
the district in which the taxpayer has
his legal residence or has his prin
cipal place of business.

The Wrong Method.
“The French expect to pay their
war debts, and ail this pretense of re
fusing to pay is just bargaining—the
Latin method. But to try such a
method on us Americans is certainly
tactless.”
The speaker was Mayor Hilary
llowse, of Nashville. He went on:
“Such tactlessness reminds me of .
the Nashville man who used to go
round saying to people in trouble:
“ ‘I’m not as old as you are; but my
advice to you is—etc.' ”
