By the Associated Press. LONDON, December 8.—Styles. for men of London, which for many years have been what Edward, Prince of Wales, decided to wear, at present are showing a little independence. The leading haberdashers of the West End | had waited after the prince returned home “rom his South African and South American tour for some new novelty in clothes to show their cus- tomers. In this they have been dis- appointed. The prince has worn nothing new. He still sticks to the clothes which he Wales, Wearing Last Year’s Clothes, Despairs London Tailors on Return had before he left on his trips. The designers kept a watchful eye for the prince’s appearance in a Winter coat in the hope of something new. The royal heir, however, is wearing last year’s model. Of necessity the haberdashers have banded together and hired designers to bring out some new styles and pat- terns independent of the prince. King George, the Duke of York and Prince Henry ‘all dress much too conserva- tively to give birth to any popular styles. The efforts of this new organi- zation will be seen in the Spring out- put. REVENUE. COLLECTORS CAN GRANT EXTENSIONS Tait Delegates Authority on In- come Tax Applications to Expe- dite Work of Officials. To expedite the granting of appli- cations for extensions of time in which to file income tax returns, Com- missioner of Internal Revenue David H. Blair has delegated to collectors of internal revenue authority to grant such extensions. Heretofore, under the revenue act of 1924, applications for extensions have been addressed to the commissioner. “Extenslons are granted,” according to a statement today by Galen L. Tait, collector for Maryland and the District of Columbia, of absence, sickness, o obtaln data to make urn with certain extension will be application is made anted unless | therefor on_or before the date pre- | seribed by law for filing the return: The applicant must state specifically the reason for such request, which wiil be granted only If the explanation is satisfactory to the collector. Illness or absence of a particular officer of a corporation or a member of a partner- ship does not constitute, in itself, a sufficient reason for granting the cor- poration or partnership such exten- sion. “In no case will a particular exten- sion be granted for more than 90 days."” e g B Home Definition From the Boston Transcript. mean?

New regulations to govern salmon fishing off the coast of Alaska during 1926 have been approved by Secretary Hoover, effective January 1. Acting under provisions of the law which requires that fishing be limited to a degree that will allow at least 50 per cent of the salmon returning from the ocean to go through the nets and traps at the mouths of rivers in order te h spawning grounds, the Secre- tary has now required that a distance of at least 1 mile be left between fish traps in that area of Alaska south of 58 degrees north latitude. This is a material lengthening of the existing distance between fish traps in the ter* ritory. There are now 76 reglons along the coast closed to commercial salmon fishing and 23 additional regions have been added to the list. Among the most important of these new closed areas are the waters off the mouth of the Kuskokwin River, additional por- tions of Bristol Bay, and some of the territory adjacent to the Shumagin nak Islands.
