WOMEN AND THE INCOME TAX.
I"
I
Women who had incomes during
;he year 1919 are reminded by Collector
of Internal Revenue, D. C.
Heyward, that they are subject to all
f the provisions of the Federal Int?me
Tax. Many thousands of wonen
file returns and pay taxes
regularly and there are new names
added to this list each year. The high
Sat i.
wages and salaries received by wo ten
last year will perhaps double
tke number of the fair sex who are
required to file returns.
A public school teacher, or other
?ty, town, county and state em^
piojee, is not taxed on her salary or

taxable income from other sources j
was sufficient in amount to corned
j within the law's definitions,
i An unmarried, woman, a widow, or
a married person who is living apart
from her husband, must file an In!
come Tax return if her net income
ir 1919 was $1000 or over.
! SVip is entitled to an exemption on
the first $1000 of her income. If she
i s the head of the family, as defined
in the Income Tax Regulations, she
may claim $1000 additional exemption.
Also, she may claim further exemption
of $200, for each person for
whom she is the chief support, if the
dependent is under 18 or is mentally
or physically defective.
i A married woman who has an income
from a separate source than her
husband is entitled to file a separate
'return with respect to that income.
Ordinarily a husband and wife file
jone joint return, including the income
of both, but if the husband does not
; include his wife's income, the wife is
.required to file her own return. Sepa-j
jrate returns of husband and wife are
'required if either had a net income
i exceeding $5000.
I A married woman who lives with
| her husband is not allowed a prescribed
exemption. She and her hus- J
| band have $2000, plus $200 additional
for each dependent; and this exemption
may be taken by either or
divided in any manner between them.
A woman who was widowed during
11919 may claim exemption for the
full year, on the basis of her status
[as of December the 31st.
A wife, -whose husband is in a
sanitarium or temporarily working
in another city, and is separated from
I him through necessity, should not
! consider her status as living apart
| from her husband. But if there is
J whether or not granted by court dei
voluntary continuous separation,!
cree, each must take status of a
jingle person with respect to income
tax.

young womanhood.
Miss Tevis is a former student in
the Girls' High School. She is eighteen
years old, and is an all around
athlete, an accomplished swimmer,
a good horse-woman, adept at fenc
ing and a generally" outdoor gm,
Miss Tevis? is an enthusiastic advocate
of the simple life. She lives
in the open as much as possible and
follows the classical Grecian ideal oi
a simple and austere way oi
living. This does not mean that she
is puritanical, for she loves dancing
and believes that it is one of the
secrets of her health. Not only ballroom
dances appeal to her, but she
studies and practices classical dancing
roles as well.
"What is the secret of my health?'1
she laughed. "Why there's no great
secret. I do not drink coffee or tea,
I drink a lot of milk. And I eat only
two meals a day?lunch and dinner.
I try to get a couple of hours'
sleep in the afternoon, but that L?
because I'm up late evenings in mj
work. I think every one ought tc
have a good eight hours of sleep.

I good deal, fence a little and ride
horseback whenever I get a chance,
Dancing is fine exercise and I love
it. If you get pleasure out of your
exercise it is so much better than
doing it as a duty."
Miss Tevis is what is known as a
"perfect 36". She is five feet four
inches tall and in general follows the
proportionate measurements of her
height and weight. Compared to the
classical ideals as they have come
down to us through Greek statues
she is formed much the same as Venus
and Diana. Her measurements
are nearly the same as those of the
peka Capital.
WASHINGTON SHAFT
37 YEARS BUILDING;
COST HALF MILLION
The two great monuments in the
United States, of the many hundreds
that have been erected in all parts of
our country, are the Bunker Hill monument,
in Boston, dedicated in 1843,
a shaft to commemorate the beginning
of our fight for independence,
and the Washington monument, al
Washington erected to the memory of
him who had been most instrumental

In view of the rapidity by which I
: things were worked out in our day, it 0
( seems strange to note that the Wash- I
! ington obelisk was more than half a |
| century in its building. Almost im-|g
j mediately after the death and bunai gg
of Washington the subject of a suit- jg
able memorial to the father of his 3
! country was broached.
For thirty years the project was, ?
every now and then, suggested, but 1
! nothing definite happened until Sep-|l
' tember, 1833, when the Washington 8
!; National Monument Society was I
formed, with Chief Justice John Mar-| j
! shall, then seventy-three years old,'
as president. It was not until three
vears later thit advertisements were
I 1
J inserted inviting designs from Ameri'|can
artists. Many were submitted,1
'| and from these one by Robert Mills I
i was selected by the society.

An effort was made to secure the
j funds by popular subscription and by

! Congress, by ^solution, granted a
! site where the monument now stands
and the cornerstone was laid on the
Fourth of July, 1848, in the presence
of the executive, legislative and judi-j
cial branches of the government, for-|
. eign ministers and officers and a vast
( concourse of citizens from all parts
of the union.
Among the distinguished guests on
, I the stands were Mrs. Alexander Ham-,
(' ilton, then ninety-one years old; Mrs.'
. Dolly Paine Madison, Mrs. John Quin-,
, cy Adams, George Washington Parke
, Curtis, Chief Justice Taney, Lewis
i Cass, Martin Van Buren and Millard
. Fillmore. I
i The work of erection progressed I
steadily until 1854, when the shaft |
had reached a height of 156 feet and i
j had cost $300,000. The treasury of
! the society now having been exhaust-J "
I ed, a memorial was presented to Con'
gress asking it to take action in the
natter. Politics in the government

j Then came the ivil War and all I
| efforts to complete the work were ||
j slopped, not to be resumed for a doz- j
.i en years. The centennial year again |
^brought activity to the society and f
i large sums were promised by private I
r | individuals and Congress made an ap- j
J propriation of $200,000 and a new I
start was made for its completion. jii
The Washington monument was ||
finally finished in the winter of 1884-|f]
'85, and it was decided to dedicate it'll
I
upon the anniversary of the birth of;"*
the man to whom it had been erected.! _
| Consequently, on February 22, 1885, j
there were impressive ceremonies at i
the national capital, when the monu- !
I g
ment was turned over to the nation. |
The formal presentation of the |
I monument was made at the base of 1
the grand obelisk, but owing to the j
raw, cold weather that existed the I
I g
dedication ceremonies proper took j
place in the hall of the House of Rep- 1
! resentatives. Five thousand persons ?
braved the chilled winds that blew j
over the Potomac flats to be present j
at the monument when the dedica- j
tory ceremonies were begun by Sena- j
tor Sherman.
Many Notable* Preceat.
On the stand about the monument I
I sat the President of the United States |
his Cabinet, the members of the Na-||

j Casey, the engineer and Senators g
j Sherman and Hawley. The address |
! at the monument was by Professor j
j Willing, president of Columbia Col- j

j House of Representatives the dedica-'|
: tory address as prepared by Robert j
! Ckarles Winthrop, was read by Rep- I
