TOC CANT DO IT. CEXTLEME>!
A friend of mine was telling: me
.of his matrimonial troubles yesterday.
He is a highly-educated man.
a man who has read much and
thought much, a man who is of deep
* feeling: and one who has a profound
' sense of his responsibilities. Yet
'lie married a little fluffy-ruffles girl
without two idess in her head, and
one whose whole code of life Is to
- *!o the thing: she wants to do, and
leave undone those things which
he doesn't want to do.
"Of course." said the *nan, "I
realixed that Maud had not the culture
that I desired my wife to
have, but I planned, as soon as we
were married, to undertake her edut
-cation myself. I had laid out a
course of study beginning with ancient
history, and coming: down to
the present time, and I looked forward
with joy to rereading: the
. classics with her. and introducing
her to all the Authors that I love.
"T And that the mere mention of
history bory her to tears, and that
he absolutely refuses to read anything
deeper than the trashiest
magazines. Why. she doesn't even
j* look at the headlines in the papers,
-and the only person of note of
?-whose identity she is absolutely
- sure, Is s^me movie hero.
"I also knew before we were married
that Maud seemed to have no
conception of having any duty in
life, or any purpose except to amuse
' herself, but 1 thought that was because
she had a particularly silly
; mother, and that my influence would
i. .correct her faults. I find that nothing
that I say has any effect upon
her. and that when I try to reason
*v?th tier she thinks that 1 am
.grouchy and gets angry with me.
"For myself I could stand the fate
?1 have brought upon myself, but
7 go mad with apprehension when
1 think of my little son being reared
t?v such a mother. He is the brightest.
cleverest, most promising little
_ chap that you ever saw. but how
. can he grow up into being the
s*>rt of a man he should, when he
has a foolish, weak, ignorant, selfr,.
indulgent mother to guide him?
. 3low ran a woman who has no ideals
of her own inspire high ideals in
her children?
*I try to do the best I can for
the little fellow, but a father's lnK
fluence i* negligible beside a moth*'.
r's. I am with him two hours a
('ay. 5hc is with him all the time.
V.'hat is a man to do under such
circumstances?"
Nothing- Th^re is absolutely
nothing to do. A man can't separate
a child from its mother, be%
cause it is an inhuman thing to
- -do. and because any sort of mother
is better than no mother at all.
A man's mistake is in not pick
ing out the sort of mother he wants
for his children beforehand instead
of objecting to the one he gets.
He should even go farther back
tv than that. He should give her
, mother the once-over. Select the
? kind of grandmother you would
Mke your children to have, and you
will not nerd to worry about them
or their upbringing.
A great many excuses are to br
~ made for the foolish marriages
that women make because a woman
has to take the kind of a husband
she can get. Custom and convention
do not permit her to go out
openly and select her mate and the
type of man that she would like
to have for the father of her children.
but a man is free to pick
Income Tax
You
? ???
Partnership and personal service
corporation returns are closely
scrutinized by the Bureau of Internal
Revenue, and in them have been
discovered numerous errors.
Partnerships as such are not subject
to the income tax, but are required
to make returns on Forms
""1063 showing gross and net income.
The net income of a partnership is
computed in the same manner and
on the same basis as the net income
of an individual, except that deductions
for contributions to charitable,
religious and scientific organizations
are not permitted.
Individual members are taxed on
the distributive shares of net income
from partnerships, whether
distributed or not. and are required
to include such shares in their individual
return of income, even
though they may not have been
actually received. It not infrequently
happens that the figures in the
Individual return and partnership return
do not coincide, in which event
there is trouble for both the taxpayer
and bureau.
Hu%x File Retsrns.
Partnership returns must be filed.

for the year. The return must

ByRVDOtPH PERKINS)
U i ^ /'
m Mr. Perkins PkiloMphlie*.
A good way to get a bad start in
J the morning is to have a row with
your wife and go to work on an
empty stomach.
And if you start an argument with
someone who has had a good hot
..breakfast and whose tummy is purging
with contentment?you are
out-of-ltxck again. This is what
Sam Burkhart did. He ended the
?day in a terrible row with a man
who handled a coal shovel.
Ordinarily Sara did not mind beTpf
kidded by his side-kick. Joe
Tapscott. But on this day his hair
fcegan to rise when Joe prodded hMh
^gently with the shovel end.
? Before the man knew it Sam had
hit him in the jaw and sent him off
*to a deep sleep. It required an M.
jD. to wake him up.
Sam was really sorry for what he
had done. When he thought over
his act after his dinner it occurred
^o him that he had done something
loolish and dangerous. His reason
has been stated in the first two par- !
^graphs.
The court sus^ecded a thirty-day
sentence and !?ut him on probation.
f
Emir- i- Iirrr?
and choose. He can look over the
whole world of women and take his
choice. So his wife represents absolutely
his taste and judgment.
And it doesn't speak much for
either one that so many men marry
women of whom they tire before
the honeymoon is over. For the
unfaithful husband is the tangible
proof of a man's bad matrimonial
guess. The man who marries the
I woman who satisfies his ideals is
siren-proof. No one can lure him
away from his own fireside if he
finds there comfort and companion-^
ship, and understanding and sympathy,
all that soul and body crave.
No man in his sober senses desires
a fool for his wife. No edu|
cated man looks forward with joy
I to the lifetime companionship with
' a woman who has never read anything
deeper than the six boat sellers.
and who yawns in his face
when he tries to talk to her about
the subjects in which he is really
interested. No man who has his
own way to make in the world desires
the handicap of a wife who
is wasteful and extravagant, and
who thinks that a woman's mission
in life is to spend money, and
a man's to provide her with it to
spend.
Yet you sec otherwise sane and
sensible men blithely lead to the
altar the very sort of women they
do not want as wives. Intelligent
men marry driveling idiots. College
professors marry butterflies,
i'oor men espouse spenders, and
then they wail and beat upon their
breasts, and oaH upon Heaven to
witness that marriage is a failure,
and to see what misfit wives they
have got.
Their excuse is the same as my
friend's. They married the women
who fired their fancies in the belief
that they could cut th^m over to ;
suit their ideas, and they found j
out too late that the thing couldn't
be done.
There is no other piece of human
vanity equal to that whioh makes
us believe that we are more powerful
than heredity and environment,
and that wp can change that which
nature has spent twenty or more
years in building up. Men and
women alike hold this theory. Men
are particularly strong for it, but
it never works out in either case.
The girl who marries a lazy and
dissolute man to reform him. finds
that he is just as laxy and dissolute
after marriage as he was
before. The man who marries a
silly, pleasure-loving, clothes-mad
girl, ascertains that she has no
more sense after marriage that she
had before, and that she is just as
crazy about gadding around, and
having a good time, and Paris
finery.
If a man should go to a shop and
deliberately select a fragile, Dresden
china parlor ornament, and
then complain when he got it home
that it was not an iron pot. or if
he should buy a motor truck and
r-xpect it to suddenly turn into a
i satin-lined limousine, we should
send him to the nearest insane
asylum. Rut man asks these miracles
of matrimony everyday, and
i can not understand why they fail to
materilize.
The only remedy for the unsuitble
marriage is prevention.
Pick out the sort of husband or
wife you want, instead of trying
to change a man or woman to
suit your fancy, for it can't be
j done.
Facts
Should Know
partner and his share of net income.
Any one of the partners may sign
and swear to the return, which may
cover the calendar or fiscal year,
according to the firm's method of
accounting.
Requirements of the revenue act
with reference to partnerships apply
also to personal service corporations.
which, though exempt
from tax, must make a return of
gross and net income on Form 1065,
or even if there was no net income.
A personal service corporation, as
defined by Treasury regulations, is
a corporation "whose income is to
be ascribed primarily to the activities
of the principal owners or
stockholders who are themselves
regularly engaged in the active conduct
of the affairs of the corporation.
and in which capital (whether
borrowed or invested) is not a material
income-producing factor."
In order to be classified as a personal
service corporation, its earnings
must be derived principally
from compensation for personal
services rendered by its owners and
stockholders. Merchandising or
trading either directly or indirectly
in commodities or -the services
of others is not rendering personal
service. Where the principal owners
and stockholders do not render the
principal part of the aervices, but
merely supervise a force of employes,
the corporation is not a personal
service corporation.
To determine who are the principal
owners or stockholders no definite
percentage of stock or interest
in the corporation can be prescribed.
Treasury regulations, however, provide
that no corporation may make
a return as a personal service corporation
unless at least 80 per cent
of its stock is held by those regularly
engaged izf the active conduct
of its affairs.
lie of Capital.
If the use of capital is necessary
or more than incidental, capital Is
an income>-pro(iucing factor, and
the corporation is not a personal
service corporation. No corporation
is a personal service corporation if
it carries on a business which ordinarily
requires the use of a sunstantial
amount of capital, whether
invested or borrowed.
The following corporations are
expressly excluded from classification
as personal service corporations:
Foreign corporations; corporations
50 per cent of whose gross
income consists of gains, profits, or
income derived from trading as a
principal; corporations 50 per cent *
of whose gross income consists of
gainq,' profits, commissions, or
other Income derived from Government
contracts made betwem April
6, 1917, and November 11. 1918.
Personal service corporations returns
must show the name and address
of each stockholder, th3 share
of each stockholder in the general
income of the company, and must
be accompanied by a complete
statement showing the nature of
the business. The return must be
sworn to by the president, vice
president, or otjier principal executive
officer and by the treasurer or
assistant treasurer.

IF TOU THINK the particular
robbin that comes to your back
yard each spring- to do his flirting
i* the same one that has been
coming year in and year out, you
may get a surprise.
The Bureau of Biological Survey.
Department of Agriculture, is nicely
started on a campaign to put Serial
numbered aluminum bands on 100,000
North American birds that migrate
up and down the map as the
seasons change. The purpose of
labeling ducks, chicadees and whatnots
of long necks, webbed-feet and
colored plumage is to learn the
habits of these roamers.
The work of banding the birds is
being conducted by volunteer organisations
and individuals who are
interested in aiding the bureau in
obtaining data. The bureau Is cooperating
with similar organizations
in Canada so that birds which know
no boundaries may be trac?d as
well.
One hundred banding stations
have been operating during the past
fall. In the few v^eeks the birds
spent in their annual Southern trip
thirty tags have been returned tc

HEW YORK. Jan.- 27?Thought!
while strolling around New York:
A haze over Washington Square like
a velvet dusk. The citadel of the
dreamers. Endless babble and heroic
revolt. It seems tawdry when
you think of the Latin Quartier?the
Paris of Flaubert, Henoit, Zola and
Maupassant. Pigeons roosting or
an electric church cross. A fat
Italian selling laces. A soulful fellow
with a flowing tie. Probably
a Hester street pant maker, or a
Grand street suspender dealer.
Down here I always Imagine everyone
is an artist or a sculptor.
On Times Square they all seem to
be actors. Somehow I hear the rattle
of cymbals. I wonder if there are
any of those interpretative dancers
loose around here. "To let" signs
over two dog shops. Good. Three
on Fifth avenue have closed. I wish
they'd appoint me a dog shop inspector.
The old Holland House. Now a
bank. A bare-throated girl carrying
a muff. Still I'm wearing a
muffler and low shoes. George Jean
Nathan in a flower store. All the
little vacant spaces are now book
stalls. Candy in -the best stores
dropped 25 cents a pound. A mysterious
perfume. Right here Is the
site of the old Herald Square Theater.
Anna Held made her debut
there. Foisted to fame by a milk
bath press agent yarn. Hunseker
calls them "passionate press
agents."
An auto sign supplants the old
electrical chariot race. Something
fascinating about a^window filled
with knives and razors. Matinees
are growing more popular. Out-oftowners
prefer them. Many theaters
are now having four a week.
There's Augustus Thomas and W.
A. Brady.
A quartet singing at the curb.
Painting the Appian Way. They're
all disheveled. Somebody ought to
tell them that this country is prohibition.
Movie stars are said to be
hard hit. Three advertised in variety
this week for jobs. I hope a
lot of them get their jobs back in
the Five and Ten, for it looks like
a most severe winter.
'The trouble with this Thrift Gag
rs they fall for some wildcat scheme
as soon as they get a sizable bankroll."
That is the philosophy of a
bond crook taken to police headquarters
the other day. He has
been victimizing folk in Wall Street
speculations for years and he says
that the more campaigns for thrift
the easier it is for the promoters.
There is a remarkable lesson for
the careless investor in what he
says. Geofee Graham Rice, a notorious
Wall Street promoter who has
served several terras in prison, revealed
in court the other dav an
Idea of the gullibility of the public.

Nancy was conscious of a dis- j

the man whom Edith Langweli I

as a Buddha's, he created the
impression of a sucesssful banker
or broker, rather than a professional 1
man; so Edith thought.
Until she saw his hands!
They were long, slim, extra??rdl* !
nai'lly clean-rut?out of all proportion
to the rest of the nTsn.
When she touched the hand he 1
held out to her at Edith's murmured:
"Frederick, this is an old
school friend. Mrs. Burrard; my hus- 1
hand. Nancy," a queer tingle as definite
as an electric current pierced
her own hand and arm. It was as
though some of the tremendous '
dynamic force of the man himself
had communicated itself to her.
When he spoke in the Arm pleasant
voice inborn in physicians, the
impression of power, of a distinct

I "I had atich a pleasant surprise

Sancv with rather obvious gallantry.
"in having to leave so charming

ttARVEY HUNT argued that the ]
thief in the case of "The Bub- \
ititute Ring." counting on the pos- j
libility that the theft would be dia overed
when Mrs Wollls went back ,
for her ring, and that when Bhe t
j?W Mri?. Wallia wearing th# sub
utitute ring without any apparent j
suspicion, ?he would experience a
eaction of relief after anxiety |
which she would not be able to con- (
real fom a person watching partic- |
ularly for it.
If she wer<? an experienced criro- ^
inal this might not be the case ,
But Harvey Hunt was convinced \
that she was not. both from Mrs. I
Wallis's statement as to the social I
standing of her guests and from the |
fact that the thief had bungled the
|ob in not obtaining the exact sixe J
r?f the ring and in neglecting the In- <
srription when she had the substitute
made.
He mad* it a point to watch each 1
woman t in turn as Mrs. Wallis j
passed among her guests. It was
natural also that an amateur thief j
should confess upon accusation, and < ;
agree to return the ring in ex- J J
ehangc for immunity.

aused In certain criminal circle*,
ibout that time, by a rumor that a
reff called Rod Be hot tar?a que?r
character?had a pet cat that uprd
-o~ stand guard for him while ha
imputAled doors from safes. S? hot.
*r |ot a lot of notoriety by n,
%hlch finally reached the police and
caused his undoing. But that is
iqother story.
-Old Mao Turmrv- you know,
was quits a collector of rare gems,
fie kept them la a specially built
?afe In the library of his home One
morning: he found the safe door
ipped off Its hinges snd the ma
tone. He called in the police, mho
ooked the Job over, decided that It
eoked like the work of one Slick t
Mangold. . and promptly threw out I
he net for 81ick. *
"But Turmyne wasn t satisfied.
His eyes were keener than those of
ihe police. He sent for me. and
showed me the cat prints on the
polished table. The police deteetives.
he said, had laughed at him.
" There never has been a cat is
'his house. Mr Hunt ' he told mr.
that is. /not to my knowledge 1
never have allowed a rat around
the place.'
"That set me thinking about Rrd
Ich otter at once I asw a chance 10
rreate a sensation by convictisg a
man on the strength of his cat s
Toot prints. At least I did until T
made a microscopic examination af
the prints and made this enlarged
photograph of them
"There was something peculiar
ibout those cat prints They didn't
wem quite right From my measurement
of the distances it seemed
as though a cat Isrgc enough to
take as long step* as thin onr did
Ought to have had bigger feet. Thru
there was this funny little mark
Ree here?on this fourth Impression,
lust behind the heel (| suppose
rou'd call It a hee|>. a little straight
mark, shadinr off t???rd the front
I made it a point to hunt up
Rchotter right away. He was sore*
when I told him what I suspected j
and why. We compared the photograph
with the rat s feet and found
Ihe. whorls and loops the same. But
Rchotter established a complete alibi
for the animal Tt hadn't been out
of his rooms for weeks, and the only
person who had visited him there
recently was Slick Mangold.
"I was going to tell the police
about it in the morning, but that
night they arrested Mangold anvbow.
so I didn't bother. His trial
and conviction were not sensational,
except for the flood of profanity on
Nla part which flowed all through tt
and earned him an extra year, and
the fact that the est prints were
hot mentioned at all. and he did not
dare mention them himself**

He turned to his wife, the impassive
air settling upon him again.
"I hope yon have persuaded Mrs.
Burrard to stop with us for a few
days? It would be unfair for her
to go away with such a bad impression
of Chicago.**
Nancy shook her head, smiling.
"I am staying the night, but I
must t?e bark in New York before
the week-end."
Recalling Maj. Desmond's imperii*
Ing visit to Chicago, Nancy was determined
upon that point.
"Surely it is not obligatory?" persisted
the doctor smilingly. "We ?
have a shark up the lake, and we're ,
taking some people there this weekend.
Better stay, and we can *
promise you some good boating and 1
fishing at any rate. Without a hus- t
band you're not needed in New
Fork." 1
Nancy gave him a mischievous 1
glance. i
"No, but?there are others." ,
Seeing the interest flare in his
*yps, she bit her lip vexedly.
She had no intention of flirting '
with Edith I>angwell's husband. <

Impelled her to nuch folly?
