THURSDAY,. JANUARY 17, 1918 Making the Tax Return. There are many conspicuous ways of showing" the patriotic spirit, and nianj' ways which are less notice- able, 1 jLit more to the point. The making of the schedule for the in- come tax is one of th'e inconspicuous, but important, duties which confronts the patriot, not only the making of the schedule hut the making of it 1'onestly, with the rffertng of the whole of his property which is sub- ject to the tax. It is a fact which cannot be dis- puted that the expense of the war will he an immense burden to the whole people. The ways which havo been instituted by the govenrment for meeting the demands for money are, for the most part, fair and the burden evenly distributed. The man or woman who seek to escape his portion of the general ! ad by tniny to avoid his just portion of the tax i.-i a bad citizen, a poor patriot, and a slacker. * * * =f ■ * Summer Work for Boys. Every summer the parents of boys of normal development are faced V'ith the problem of what to do with and for them during the vacation months. Child labor regulations pre- sent their taking any industrial Occupation for which they are phy- sically and mentally fit. In such work as there is lacking the protec- tion of the law it is only in rare instances that there is seen that ap- preciation of youth's limitations on the part of employers, which makes it safe to enter boys in the middle Cecils for work. The employer is far <\oo likely to be looking for a "hand" ■who can do a man's work for a boy's f)ay, and the result is over work fot i|he child and discouragement of any ambition to be useful because of the •(neager pay.which is given. Next summer the need for labor on :ihe farms and other industries in (H/hich boys could be employed with- out detriment to their health will be great. It is going to be increasingly "important that we in America en- large our proportion of productivity of foodstuffs and, materials for the Use of manufactories. The boys who are strong enough and fit, for their age, the boys who are pining for suit- able work to do to fill the empty months of the vacation with pleasur- able and profitable employment, will again be on our hands for us to make suitable disposition of their time and their strength for their own good and that of the country. It is not now too' early for patri- otic parents and patriotic farmers to enter into negotiations to effect some sort of agreement by which the boys of the city may be brought into the country to do the work which so much needs to be done, that there may be avoided those misunderstand- ings and mischances which are sure to befall if the lads from high and other secondary schools discover at the last moment that they must work to fill the places of the men who are gone and find that their employers are not convinced of the need for consideration of the physical condi- tions which make it unwise for the boy to be driven to the limit of his endurance. The boy is not, industrially speak- ing, a small man, capable of what a mati of equivalent si-?e could do. He is a growing and maturing young animal, not to be subjected to strain which may impair his future health and capacity for usefulness. He is, however, an industrial asset to the country and, properly used, may be made of very great benefit. It will be necessary, however, before it is safe to impose upon him a portion of the general burden, to fence him about with protective measures to ensure his safety from exploitation by those men who wish, when they employ a boy, to secure the work of a man at the price of a boy. ***** The Snow Shovel-The Badge Of The Good Citizen. The removal of the snow which now covers Wilmette, piled up in roadsides and at intersections of broken pathways, devolves upon the individual citizen because of the lack of sufficient machinery in the city government to meet the emergency which is presented and the unusual- ness of the condition which makes it unwise to institute regular ways of meeting the situation, even if it were possible. It is rightly considered the duty of the city to clear the streets and wcij'Vcs sufficiently to establish the regular lines of traffic and every effort has been made to meet those requirements. But the magnitude of the task and the character of the facilities to be had, make it the height of folly for the citizen to rely upon the usual forces for the clear- ing of the strets. There is the inconvenience which results from the irregularity of trans- portation service to be considered, of course, but that is not the im- portant feature of the present con- dition. The impossibility of service from the fire department, in the event of need, presents a danger which should arouse every citien to do his part in opening the streets in suffi- cient measure to permit the free pas- sage of the apparatus through the street and to his own property. Plain straight self-interest should bring every man out with his shovel to do his bit towards lifting from the streets the barrier which the snow con- stitutes. It will give to muscles, too unused to such work, healthful exer- cise, establish a neighborly cordiality which ought to be promoted, and set a man right in the eyes of his fel- low citizens as one who is willing tc take his share of the general burden and no shirker of the common task. THE WAY OF IT Richmond Times-Dispatch "Yes, indeed, he educated his daugh- ter in music for grand opera." "And did she land a job?" "She's certainly did! She's singing four times a day between the Wild- West-horse-thief lynching and Charlie Chaplin." WOMEN DRIVERS Manchaltr Guardian A noble lord, when leaving one of the official 'motor cars, asked the woman driver to come back at a cer- tain hour. She replied, "All right." The noble lord then said, "I am ac- customed to being called 'My lord'." The woman driver replied to that, "And I am accustomed to being called 'My lady*." Another story is about General Pershing in Paris. He had ordered i/ninutes late." The woman driver a car at a certain time, but it was replied, "And you, my General, are late. General Pershing, a very three years late, so it would be well punctual man, said, "You are three to jump into the car all quick." Eichange Your Property Your home, if too large for a smaller home.
