Celebrate Silk Discovery In celebration of the four thousand five hunderd and sixty-first anniver sary of the discovery of `silk by the Chinese empress. Si-ling-chi, in 2640 13. C., national silk week Is inaugurat ed here today. Local merchants, from department store proprietors to the owners of the smaller individual shops that handle merchandise in which silk is used in production, will feature silk and silk products for the entire week. Not only here but throughout the en tire country this idea will be carried ,out. In China,,at a specified time each year, the Chinese commerate the mem ory of Si-lingchi who is known as the "Goddess of the Silkworm." The ceremonies are extremely picturesque and quaint in Chin. but in the prac tical United States the form assumes a diatinctly commercial aspect which is however enlivened by the delight of women-a style show. Many of the latest American style creations shown at the recent inter national silk exposition in New York will be shown here in replica either as window displays or upon the forms of beautiful girl models. It will be the first public showing of these styles outside of New York and gives nation al silk week much the aspect of a spring salon. Local merchants anticipate that this silk week will give a rem.rkable im petus to the spring and summrer buying season and have laid their plans ac cordingly to afford their customers the best possible opportunity to see all that is new in everything into thb manufacture of which silk enters, which means a very wide range of apr ticles for men as well as for women. One big department store in New York found that silk had to be feat ured in forty of its divisions because of the varied uses to which the fabric and its products are put. From the time when in Rome silk sold for its actual weight in gold and was worn only by royalty, today when it is within the reach of the average person as to price and is universally worn, is a long jump but has been ac complished through the ingenuity of American manufacturers who have succeeded in so perfecting processes, of prodnction that silk is now an eco nomy instead of an extravagance as :t was first considered. The United States leads the world in the manufacture of silk with an an nual output of approximately $715, 000,000 buying 70 per cent of the raw silk produced in the Orient and Italy and producing every conceivable arti cle in which silk can be advantageous ly used. It is doubtful if there has ever been I nthis city a better rounded display of merchandise that appeals to women than has been prepared locally for this week. From silk or satin slippers, lingerie, hosiery, to dresses, wrapa, hats and gloves with scores of other accessories in between, the assort ments are strikingly complete. Colors and designs are novel and beautiful but not bizarre and the lines of the newest costumes are gracefully artis tic and lack the somewhat startling semi-cubist elects of past seasons. Both arbiters and critics of styles have unanimously agreed that this is to be distinctly a silk season and the retail merchandisers are apparently. taking full advantage of that decision Income Tax Information The following statement is issued by collector of internal revenue. Ru • s W. Fontenot. With the aproach of March 15 tax payers are advised not to delay in the' prebaration and filling of their in come tax returns for the year 1920." To avoid penalties, the returns must be in the hands of a collector or a deputy collector of internal revenue on or before midnight of that date. Revenue officers have been assign-_ ed to the different sections of the state to assist taxpayers in correctly making out their returns. This ser. ice is offered without cost to the pub M. Any iaftrmation as to the £atas a which an oftleer will be is yor looaity an be had from your pest master. Oa page 1 of the income tax forms is the followlgt : "If you need asslst .nce go to a deputy collector or to the collector's office, but irpt read instructions and fill out this sheet (face and back) In penacil as well as you can." Much time can be saved both the government officere and the taxpayer if, before seeking aid, the taxpayer will follow this lnjunction. For example, blank spaces are provid ed for answers to the following ques" tions. "Are you a citizen of the Uni ted States?" "If not, are you a resi dent of the United States?" "Did you file a return for 1919?" "If so, what address was given on that return?" "Were you married and living with wife or husband on the last day of your taxable period?" "How many dependent persons under 18 (or if ov er 13, incapable of self-support be cause mentally or physically defec tire) were receiving their chief sup pont from you on the last day of your taxable period?" Questions such as these should not await inquiry from revenue officers assisting in making out the forms. Returns are required of every mar ried couple whose net income and that of dependent children for the year was two thousand dollars or more and from ever? single person or married person not Qiving with wife or husband whose net incomei was one thousand dollars or more. The exemptions are two thousand dollars for married persons and heads of families and one thousand dollars for single persons or married persons not living with wife or husband and are determined by the taxpayer's sta tus on the last day of the taxable year, December 31, 1920. Husband and wife may make a combined re turn of their joint net income if less than five thousand dollars. If the' in-i come of either exceeded five thous and dollars, separate returns should be filed for the purpose of c.nzputing correctly the surtax which applies on ly to incomes in excess of that amount. The tax may be paid in full at the time of filing the return, or in four equal installments due on or before March 15, June 15, September 15, and December 15. Taxpayers are advised not to send cash through the mail. Checks and money orders should be drawn to the order of "Collector of Internal Revenue, New Orleans, aLouisiana."
