H A program of toasts, with sparkling wit. followed the luncheon. .Mrs. Metcher made the address of welcome, : and -Mrs. Knowland .was toastmistress. Mrs. Frank O.'Brisrgs responded to the toast, "Our President." Mrs. Bryan made a clever little address on "Peace," and Mrs. Shafrnth's text was "Ho Went put. Not Knowing Whither ire AVent." Mrs. Volstead made a re sponse to "Our New Home," Mrs. Henry T. Kainey gave the "War of the liosea," and .Mrs. Everts A. Hayes toasted "Valentino." Mrs. Lenore Sherwood sang. . An American Nurse in Austria. The following paragraph about Mrs. Krederic C. l'entield is talten from the. About People department of the March Woman's Home Companion: "In November it was officially an nounced that the Emperor Francis Joseph had conferred upon Mrs. Fred eric Courtlaml Penlleld, wife of the American ambassador at Vienna, the Grand Cross of the Order of Elizabi'th in recognition of her indefatigable C soldiers with whom the Austro-Uun-i garian capital is crowded. H is said that this is the first time that this dec- oration has bi-en given to a woman not connected with the imperial family. Besides laboring at more arduous tasks, Mrs. Peniield has been active in , nriranizincr 'raveling parties' for nro- vlding soft dressings for wounds, as tho deplorable scarcity of cotton in Austria has made it necessary to use what little old-fashioned lint dressing ouki be procured. Mrs, Penfleld, who was formerly Mrs. Anne Woightman Walker of Philadelphia, is reputed to lie one of the wealthiest women in the world." H Wide Short Skirts Tills Sprlnx. In the March Woman's Home Com panion Grace Margaret Gould, fashion editor of that publication, devotes 15 or more pages to spring myies. lie: department contains scores of heauti- ' ful and practical illustrations, to gether with the latest news sugges tions all particularly directed to tell ing women how they may have smart clothes at modest prices. Miss Gould, in her fashion talk, reports as follows about the new skirts for spring wear: "The new skirts for spring appear in a variety of models, and each and evf ry one of them cries out 'Tou can walk in me!' Wide, wider, widest, aptly fits into their description. :The conservative skirt measures two and one-half yards around the bottom, but there are some skirts that measure five yards. Just think what a jump we have taken from the scant yard-around-the-bottom skirt! "And the skirts are short, too. Oh, Breakfast, j yes, very short: Some are actually six and eignt incnes irom tne ground. You see. the wide skirt must be the. short skirt if it is to be really smart. "How are these skirts made? you ask. Some are circular; some are gored, but in circular effect some have a panel front and back with plaits at the sides or showing fullnajs gath ered there; some are frilled; and many, very many, are made with a hip yoke. "The majority of the new skirts sliow a higher, waist line than last season and, with few exceptions, they all hang from an inside belt, that is much wider than the one used last year." , - .

ASHEVILLE COMMIfTEE TO URGE PARE BILL EIGHT NEGROES ESCAPED FROM CONVICT CAMPS A report was received at the office of Sheriff E. M. Mitchell this morning that two negro convicts had escaped from camp No, 1, located near Fair view. This makes a total of eight ne groes who have escaped from convict camps, six having made their' get-away from camp No. 3, Saturday ' night. Upon Investigation it was found sev eral ot the negroes had served their time and will not relnased as son as they thought they should have, so they simply walked away. The records of the other negroes is being lovestlgatod and tho who have not served their time will he taken back. Those who scapvii Saturday and Sunday nights are: Bub lavU, Frrynt Payne, J In r ley McDowell, n0M Brown, Melvln Whit on and Arch Plnklna, Responding to Senator Weaver's re quest received Saturday morning, and mentioned in The Gazette-News that afternoon, the board of trade has ap pointed the following committee to appear In Raleigh Wednesday In be half of the Mt. Mitchell bill: C. A. Webb, O. 8. Powell, J. C. Martin, A. 8. Barnard. This committee, with delegations from other cities and towns In western North Carolina, will go before the joint committee on appropriations, from both houses, and urge the 420, 000 appropriation for the purchase and converting of Mt. Mitchell Into a park. Persons who are subject .to the In come tax laws of the Federal govern ment have only this month' in which to make their returns to the office of Internal Revenue Collector Watts at Statesville. March 1, Is the last day during which these reports can be made. All reports received showing a postmark later than March, place the person flung the report subject 'to be Ing penalized. The blanks have been mailed out from the offVce of Collector Watts, but persons who have not re ceived" them, but who are subject to the provisions of the act, should make application for them, at once. The law provides' that every unmar ried person, having an income of $3,- 000 a year Is subject to the tax. Mar ried persons do not have to pay the tax unless, their Income is $4,000 or more. In the event a man and his wife together have an income of over $4,000 they pay on the amount of that excess. For. Instance if a man has an income of $2,500 and his wife a sim ilar in come, they must pay the in come tax on one' thousand dollars. Persons subject to the tax who own stocks or bonds should be careful that they do not pay twice. A great part of the income tax Is collected "at the source." That is to say, in many instances the corporation in which stocks or bonds are held pays the tax direct to the collector of Internal reve nue and deducts it from .the interest or dividends paid the holder of the securities. The taxpayer should be careful that he takes credit for this direct payment and does not include it in his check. In other words, he Should be careful to exempt himself for the amount paid "at the source." There are certain exemptions or de ductions from the tax which may be made, such as interest paid on money borrowed, a pro rata charge for office rent in the case of a physician who has his office in his residence and so on. In addition to the tax on Individuals there is a tax on corporations of 1 per cent of the profits. In the case of tor poratjons they need not pay for the calendar year 1914 unless they so de sire, but they may elect to pay at close of fiscal year of the corporation busi ness, in the event that corporations desire to pay for their fiscal years, they may do so upon, notice to the collector of ltnernal revenue, designat ing the last day of some month of the fiscal year, giving thirty, days' notice prior to March 1.
