Business Shows Big Increase In Purchase Business may not be "as usual" under such a regime, and a kit of businesses will feel pinches, but there's no denying that, in general business is good. Data on Christmas week retail sales for the country as' a whole indicate that trade may very | likely have registered a gain of 501 per cent or more over the same week in 1939. The catch here is that this particular week contained two just before-Christmas shopping days that on the 1939 calendar, occurred in the previous week. Even so, the whole month of December ran about 11 per cent ahead of December. 1939, which puts it just about even with Decem ber of 1929 . . . and considering that prices then were about 20 per cent . higher, it appears that, in volume of goods, the recent holiday season was the greatest in the country's his tory. Change Ruling On r C Federal Incomes The North Carolina Department of Revenue announced today that all Federal employees residing or domi ciled in this State, or assigned to duty here during the year 1940 are liable for income tax to this State and will be required to file returns for the year 1940, for the income re-, ceived while a resident of this State, according to art opinion rendered by Attorney General McMullan. Theli-, ability, it was said, results from the fact that such employees resided or worked in this Stale during the year 1940. Last March the department ruled that no returns would be required oi Federal employees from other states who were assigned to duty in this State and received salaries in 1939. This ruling was made, it was stated. because Congress had only recently _ granted the states authority to tax such salaries, and proposals for re stricting such authority were under stood to be then pending before SI V IK COOPERATES IN NEW SAFETY EFFORT ?YOU killed her!

American botanists considered George Washington America's "big gest" man and used the name "Wash ingtonians" for the California ryd wood trees The British botanists had an equally high esteem for an Kng lishman of great lenuwii. They catt ed them tlie "Wellingtoniaiis " Nev ei'theh . "Sequoia" has survived as the name of those giants of the lor* est.
