Inforrration as to Income Tax Returns Numerous inquiries have been received regarding the proper interpre-. tat ion of Section 223 of the Revenue Act of 1021. which provides that each individual whose gross income for 1021 was $5,000 or over shall nU* a' return regardless of his or her not income. Gross income means statutory gross income, defm. d by the revenue act to include "|?? profits and income derived from salaries, wages, or compensation for personal service * * * of whatever hind and in whatever form j.aid, or from professions, vocations, trades, business, commerce or sales or dealings, in property, whether real or personal, growing out of the ownership or use of or interest in such property; also from interest, rent, dividends, securities or the transaction "f any businness carried on for gain or profit or gains or profits and income derived from any soruce what VIM-." dross income docs not necessarily ivcan cross receipts. A merchant, for 11stance, in computing statutory cross income, should deduct therefrom the cost of goods sold, or example, a merchant may have gross receipts amounting to $10,000, but the cost f goods sold amounts to $7,000. He as no other income. The statutory cross income would be $3,000. In case the other deductions allowed him for l.usim s.s expenses, taxes, interest, bad ebts, etc., maount to $2500.00, his net ir.come would be $500. No return of income is required in this ease. A lawyer who is married and living 1 ith his wife has gross receipts in he form of fees amounting to $0,000, and hi- necessary business expenses amount to $4,200, leaving a net interne of $1,800. A return will be reouired in this case, as taxpayers' gros^ income as well as gross receipts is $0,000. The waters of the Arctic ocean is so pure that shells are visible at a real depth.

Homes, who welcomed every one with her usual winsome graciousness. Mrs. F. B. Culp is the chairman of this circle, and 12 of its members and live visitors were present. At the chairman's request, Mrs. T. C. Duncan presided while the devotional and literary part of the promam was carried out. One of the most interesting readings was "Lida Leo's Letter to Her Mother," by Miss Thelma Hodge, the very talented young daughter of one of the members. As the mother of another member had suffered an operation thut day, a special united prayer was made in her behalf, concluded audibly by Mrs, Monroe Faueett. The minutes of the last meeting were read by the secretary, .Mrs Clough Wallace, and two new names were added to the roll?Mrs. Claud Cain ami Mrs. Ralph II. Haley. The mission study lesson was taught and the first chapter of "Conservation of National Ideals" was used. This chapter proved to be of absorbing interest, and gives a condensed history of the Home Mission work of a number of Protestant denominations ir the United States, beginning with tin jUaint "Female Cent Unions" of New Ktigland, which were started in tin latter part of the eighteenth centuryIt was interesting to note the development from these local societies int the elaborate organizations of today which have paid out millions of dollars. and brought practical educatior and the gospel to Indians, Mormons Alaskans, mountaineers, immigrant; and many others. Perhaps the grea' est work has been done among the iir migrants, who have poured into oin country at the rate of thousands daily so that now the vast majority of tb population of the United States n made up of naturalized immigrants of citizens whose parents were immi grants. As a result, the Americat Sabbath is threatened as never be fore, and the high standards of or nation set by our Puritan forefather are peihaps in jeopardy unless thimmigrants are educated and Chri tianized. This the Home Mission wo men are bravely trying to tin, an< much has been accomplished. Several matters of business received attention, and Mrs. H. A. Dunbar member of the finance committee, in ; most practical arid businesslike \va; presented the committee's plan for s<curing: funds for local work. It was voted to name the circli "The Bell Bennett Circle, "in honoi of the efficient president of the \V< man's Missionary Council. As "Cuba" was the subject for th< afternoon, before adjourning: a con rerted prayer was made for the peo pie of that island, and the mission aries who are stationed there. One of the Members.

If he ever comes to South Carolina again while I am living I am going to hear him. I have not kept count of the times I have heard him, but I heard a good citizen of Jonesville township say he hnd heard him 28 times and had not got tired of hearing him yet. I have seen but one crowd larger than the one at Spartanburg Sunday, and that was when President Wilson spoke at Charlotte, N. C., before the war broke out. 1 heard two sermons at Union Saturday evening; one by the Salvation . Army man and another by a man whose name I did not learn, but he was preaching the true gospel out of the Holy Bible. These two men were preaching just about 50 yards apart. . One was in front of the J. Cohen , store and the other was in front of the Ten Cent Store, and then I heard Billy Sunday and a thought came to ( me that there is enough preaching to save the world. Billy Sunday has done his part for the last six weeks. It looks to me . that the meeting ought not to close i yet, it ought to go on n while longer. But he has his plans ^Tked ahead and God helps him to carry them out. I have told about Billy Sunday . again as this has been the subject in the mouths of the people and the i newspapers. We ought to have such . nu n at the head of our great govern ment and our financial condition i w< uld be better for the Good Book , says that when the wicked rule the i people mourn. The weather is just a little warmer. W are glad to see it as it has been ' so cold. I like to see the winter in . season and then the spring, then the summer and God has made evcry> thing and He is in it all. , I will be at Lockhart next Satur <lay, Feb. 25. I hope all that are bei hind will be ready to renew for their - paper. Thank you in advance i' Moxy.

German Roads Operated By American Engineers Coblenz, Feb. 23.?Branch lines of i?ernian government railways witnin the occupied area are being operated by several American engineer battalions as part of a course of instruction of the army railway school established some time ago by officers of the American Forces in Germany. The train cresw are made up entirely of American soldiers and even the train dispatching on the short lines is done by members of the organization who are taking courses in railroad telegraphy. The first platoon of Company A, Sixteenth engineer battalion, has been operating three trains daily between Kruzberg and Junkerath in the Ahr valley, near Coblenz, several months, and has never had a serious accident. M. Russell Jeter, of Santuc, is a 1 usiness visitor in Unlontoday. Parent-Teachers Association The Parent-Teachers Asjocintioi met Monday afternoon at 3:30 y'clocl at Grace Methodist church.

The exercise was opeend with a soni by all. The president read the 15t chapter of John and in connection wit this an article, "How to Be a Chris tian," followed by a very appropriat prayer. Mrs. Frank Harris read a paper o "The Christian Home."

Advice to Operators of House Heating Furnace Washington, Feb. 23.?Advice t operators of house-heating furnace: who under the keen urge of chi blasts of winter have applied to th Bureau of Mines for a solution of dil HCUHU'.S UA|JUrKMH.f U III 11 their fires over night, is given in statement made today by O. P. Hoo< chief mechanical engineer of the hi reau. There are several ways of manap ing a furnace, as there are seven ways of driving a horse, says M Hood. The general principle is quil obvious, but that principle can be aj plied in different ways. In the pr< cess of combustion two quantitic must be supplied?coal and air. TI coal one pays for, tho air one gel for nothing, but the quantity of a i\ ;uired in weight is from twelve I twenty mites as much as the quai tity of coal required. If one had I pay for air he would pay a grei deal more attention to the supply < , this necessary material, Mr. Hoc . says. Given a bed of coals that are ri hot, the lire will burn just in pr I portion as air is fed through the fu bed. The question of keeping fire ov< I night Engineer Hood asserts, is 01 of having a bed of fuel large enoup , so that at least the center of it ct keep red hot without being chilli , by the cold sides of the furnace < [ the ash pit below. If absolutely i air was fed through the fuel bed, time the fire would go out becaui of loss of heat. The problem, the is to feed just air enough throup the fuel bed to maintain temper; , ture. The ash pit of most furnaces leal enough air so that if there was a coi siderablc draft or suction above tl fuel bed produced by the chimne , more air would leak into the ash p and up through the fuel bed thi enough to simply maintain the ter . perature, Mr. Hood explains. T< much air fed through the fire wou burn up the coal and the fire wou , not keep. The problem, then, is cut down the flow of air through tl fuel bed. This can be done in n . merous ways; one can put on a larj amount of coal and cover the t< with very fine coal, or even ashc This increases the resistance throuj , the fuel bed, so that only a smi amount of air flows. Another wa , and a good way too, according Mr. Hood, is to allow ashes to acc mulate on the grate to add to tl resistance of the flow of air. Whi this is a good way in mild weath it is not so good in severe weathe because one cannot get as much eo into the fire box, and it is usual best to, keep the fire box complete filled with fuel. Even when the r , sistance through the fuel bed is i creased, if the draft is maintain' there is apt to be too much leakai through the ash pit and too vigoroi afire. By opening the check draft that air can flow up the chimn< without flowing through the fuel be thr> flit* nn??inrr fV?n ^iinl K* is greatly reduced. It makes litt difference whether this is done 1 opening the check draft in the chir ney, or done by opening the damp in the door, allowing the air to flo above the fuel bed. In the lattc case, however, the air is drav through the boiler and helps to co off the boiler in addition to checkir the flow of air through the fuel be Hill-Taylor Miss Gladys Hill, of this city, ai Herbert Traylor, of White Oak, we married yesterday at the home of tl bride's grandmother, Mrs. W.
