Transverse, compres- ; sion and absorption tests were made j vn e;u*h lot of bricks used. The bricks j used were representatives of four dis- j 1 riels east of tin* Mississippi river, two or more grades of brick being I obtained from each district. Throe ( Iclnds of mortar were used la tin* be- i ginning and three grades of bond and j workmanship employed throughout the investigation.

Everybody is figuring income tax. Payments and sworn statements of income must reach Internal Revenue offices on or before -March 1.1, and there are severe penalties for deiimjuency. Residents of Colorado and Wyoming are required to make their returns and pay their taxes to Murk A. Skin ner, Collector of Internal Revenue, Denver, Colo., or to any of Ills deputy collectors who are now doing free ad visory work on Income Tax. “Ray your Income Tax by March 13,” Is the slogan of the Internal Rev enue Bureau, which has sent every available officer into the field to help the public to understand the require ments and to prepare the returns. Who Must Make Return. It is estimated that many thousands of single and married persons in this section of the Unted States who have never before made annual returns are required to do so this year. Income tax returns must be made between now and March 15 by persons who come under the following classifi cations: Any unmarried person whose 191S net Income was $1,000 or over. Wid ows and. widowers, divorcees and i~ar riod persons who are living apart from I their husbands or wives, are for the i purposes of the Income Tax classed as ! unmarried. Any married persgn living with wife or husband whose 191S net income was $2,000 or over. The Income of both lmsbund and wife must be considered, together with the earnings of minor children, if any. * Revenue Bureau Offers Aid. Much person i:i the United States | who is in either of these chi. sificatlons 1 must get busy at once if penalties are | to be avoided. lie should secure a i blank Form 1010 A for reporting net income up to $5.0(»J, or Form 10-10 If Ids net Income exceeded that amount. Forms are being distributed by Collcc | ‘tors and their Deputies, also by bunks. By following the instructions on the forms a correct return can he prepared at home. If a person needs advice or aid, the Deputy Collectors In the field will furnish this without charge. The new Revenue law places the In coine duty on citizens and resi dents. The Internal Revenue Bureau is sending its men to work right with the public to get the tax and the re turns In. With active co-operation every tax due MVirrli 15 will he paid and every return required by law will be Iti the Revenue offices on time. Exemptions Allowed. A single person is allowed a per sonal exemption of $1,000. If be is sup porting In bis household relatives who { are dependent upon him he may claim the status of the head of a family who ! has the same exemption as If ‘'married, j A married person who lives with ; wife or Jiusband Is allowed a personal I exemption of $2,000. The head of a : family is entitled to claim a similar | personal exemption. An additional exemption of $200 is allowed for each person under eight 1 I een or incapable of self support who \ was dependent upon and received Ids chief support from the taxpayer. A husband and wife living together i are entitled to but one personal ex 1 emptioti of $2,000. If they make sepa- I rate returns the exemption may be claimed by either or divided. Accuracy Required. Absolute accuracy is necessary in ! making up Income figures. Any per • son who is working for wages .should i find out exactly how much lie received during the whole year 191S. Fees, i bank interest, bond Interest, dividends, rents received and all other items ' must be reported correctly. Mere ; guesses are not accepted, for they are ; unjust alike to the taxpayer and the 1 (J iverniuent and defeat the proper ad ministration of the law. INCOME TAX IC TRULY POPULAR. “The payment »*."
