Failure to Make Voluntary Return is Punishable by Fine and Imprison- ment. s The income tax man is coming. “See him” is the notice given by. the Con- necticut state council of defense,which 1S co-operating with the interftal réve- nue ‘collector for early réturns on the 4 tederal income tax at the request of the council. of national defense, Failure to report to the internai reévenue colléctor is punishable by fine of from $20 to $1,000 and fmprisonment. Unmarried persons, not the head of families, who made $1,000 or more last year, and married persons, living with wife or husband, who made $2,000 or more last year, are required to pay an income tax. N 4 Income tax returns must Be made out gn forms furnistied by the gov- ernment. Because a good many ped- plé who must pay an income tax do riot understand the law, and therefore will not know how to make out their returns, the government is sending ex- perts to every county t6 show them thow to do it. Those who aré not suré whether they are subject to the tax are ad- viged to ask about it and make sure. The smaller the amount the govern- ment raises by taxation, the larger the amount that will have to be raised in bond issues, so his or her patri an income tax sheet without gelay. The government does not have to find the man or woman who must the tax.

Wilson of Otis street, this city, from her son, | F: 8. ‘Wilson, who is in foreizn ser- vice with the U. S. S. New York. Both letters were written on Christmas day, one in the morning telling of the preparations for the dinner given a hundred poor children on board ship, and the other in the afternoon tellis of the success of the dinner and the delight of the little ones. The letters follow: Dear Family: Well, today is our first Christmas day apart. Even last year I was o& eight days’ leave. I wonder what yo are doing now? It is about 5.30 in Norwich, Ct., but nearly noon here. ‘We are decorated up, almost as cheerful as ever. The §fth div. (that is aft) have signal flags all over com- partment and quite a large tree, dee- orated, eolored lights and lots of imi- tation snow. In the foreground three rifles are s ed, with ‘bayonet fixed. Under rifles is/a wreath and holly and snow.. A sign says “For Our Com- rades in France Inside are two five inch shells with a sign “For the Kai- ser.” The signal force has a very prettily decorated casemate. i All divisions_ have somethfng. The fourth went ashore and hought a $10 Victrola. : At 12.30 we are’ t» givs one hundred poor children “over here” a Christmas dinner, and I guess the king will have no better himself. Some say each kid is to get four pounds of suzar to take home. Ashore it is just about impos- sible to get sugar and butter. ‘The amoufit you buy in a restaurant is issued, but the gobs go from one to dnother. Sweetmeats (or candy) are. way over a dollar a pound and you miay get fined for buying it. - On Christmas afternoon Mr. Wilson wrote his mother as follows: Dear Mother: _ As I wrote this morning, I will just drop a -few lines to tell you of the poor. ldren's Christmas ~ dinner aboard the mightiest dreadnought east of “LiP’ o New York.” It was about 1 o’clock when the boat carrying them was sighted. As they dame alpngside they were all chatter- ing at once, They sure wers poor, I guess. Most of them were in pretty poor clothing. Their cheeks were all red and they wore no hats. Some (3 or 4 years old) began erying on ac- count of the crowds on deek. It is practically the first clear-day we have had since we, arrived, The scehery on the hills is wonder- ful. As they all got aboard they were hfted down the ladders. They had three women and about five men with % | them. They were met at the gangway by several officers ard the commander wished them all a Happy New Year, ‘The same to you.” As they went down belbw to tables s 1set for them the band (in the -barber > | nome less. shop) played the Second Commecticut Begiment ; March and they all were yelling " in their funny dialect.

The usual Thanksgiving dinners. for ‘which “the vegetables, fruits and deli- cacies and euch like things were, as usual, fi by the scheol chil- dren, were given and distributed as aforetime. The Christmas cheer was as bright as ever and allowed to suffer no di- minution by reason of the war. The same can be said of the Thanksgiving dinners and the rather limited use of the Fresh Air tickets; for which there seems to pe less need than formerly. What with Sunday schosl outings and many spokes -of trolley ilnes and a growingly beautiful park near by, the fresh air work last year centered al- most exclusively In giving trolley rides to the elderly people; who were very appreciative. The Mission sadly recalled, espec- iaily during these holiday activities, the helpful, cheérful presence and fine cooperation 'of the one who had been “|for so many years. its chairman, Mrs. F.- E, Dowe, whose resent death is keenly felt by all the Uniteq Work- ers who knew and gufliea with her. Club Department. The work of the Club Department of the United Workers falls naturally into two divisions, first, the educa- tional work for ehildres, and; second, the visitation of the homes from which these children . come. - In the edueational work, the United Workers have had seven classes for children during the past yeéar. These classes have been held at two places, at the United Workere’ House to which the chiljren come from the ‘West Side, from the center of the city and from Greeneville, and - at the building known as the Falls Club on Oneco street, leased for the purpose, io accommudate the/ children at the Falls and at Norwich Town. = There are three classes in sewing at the United Workers' House, & kin- dergarten, and a class in couflng. At the Falls club there is a gewing class and also one in cooking. same course of instruction, under the isame teacher, with different assistants at each place. It has baen the aim of the teachers of ¢ooking to show the children how to prepare simple end nourishing dishes, which can be can usé in their own homes. In the course just beginning, it is proposed to teach the girls how to use stbsti- tutes for the various articles which we dre asked to conserve in these war times. . They are being tdught how to cook vegetables it various ways, and to use various graifts other than wheat, The kindergarten was in the care of one trained teacher and two volun- teer assistants. This class is for both boys and girls from four to seven vears old. After the girls reach the age of sev- en years they enter the sewing classes, and demmence with the simplest forms of sewing, making samplers, pateh- work, hemming towels, ete. As they grow more experienced they learn to make simple garments of various kinds. These garments ‘they take home at the end of the school year. Bach child pays one penny for. each lesson. thus preventing the feeling of accepting .charity. This fes is scme- times remitted"in cases where even so slight a sum is difficult for the family to spare. The sum so received, does not, of course, cover the cost of ma- terjal, which is furnished by the Unit- ed Workers, but is mainly used to de- fray the expense of a little party giv- en for each class at the end of the year, in May, when the children play games and are served refreshments furnished partly from this fund, some- times supnlemented by sgifts of “cake from the teachers. s At the end of the season, an exhibi- tion of the articles madé by the class- es is held, to which the members of the executive and club committees and the teachers are_in: , and at which, efternoon tea is served by the cook- (N Three Generations of Women.

If the mothers appreciate. a visit, the supervisor, too, learns much, of value about the home surroundings, of the pupils.” Especially responsive and hospitable are the Jewish moth-' ers, and at the Passover. season, whén' tke Jews keep open house to their: friends, many invitations are extend- ed to .accept Hospitality at every, house. Many of the teachers have ac-. comj “me on these visits, when calls were made on their own pupils, and it is a great pleasure where they* wish to go. & The natural question to raise in all: work of this kind is, does it pay? Are: the results worth all-the money, time; and effort led? 'Perhaps one answer may be' found in the estimate of it shown by the mothers of the club children. In visiting these mothers the past year it was very cheering to: hear the expressions of appreciation: of the work done, and of thé improve ment shown by the children. In some irstances, great surprise was mani- fested that the girls could make the garments they had brought home. ’ There are also, indirect of’ value to the childréen in the asSocia- tion with their teachers, for they ats, observant' and imitative, and have: many lessons in neatness and good . manners.
