Treasury Department Officials Issue. a Pamphlet on It. Washington, I). ('.. February 12. After weeks of study of the complexi ties of the income tax law. Treasury of ficials have issued a ninety page book- let. christened it '"Regulations So. ;).')," and sent it forth to collectors of inter nal revenue in the expectation that it will clear up many of the misunder standings concerning the law which have arisen throughout the country. It takes twenty-three pages of the book to set forth the law itself but CO pages are used in telling how" the net in come to be taxed is ascertained by the tax payer, when and where tax must be puid, what penalities will be imposed tor non-payment , what exemptions and deductions will be allowed. Many pages Rre devoted to an explanation of that part of the law imposing a pun per cent tax on the income of all corporations, which replaces the old corporation tax. Although officials are confident that this booklet will prove a guide to tax payers which will settle many apparent ly difficult problems, there will be other regulations in the future when new points are raised. The book does not contain a new set of regulations but is r compilation in compact form of the ones already issued, with explanations of points never before discussed. Un der the law, partnerships are not sub ject to the tax, but the regulations pro vide that annual prolits from a partner ship paid to members shall be included in their returns and where such profits are undistributed and unp.id they must be ascertained and included in the individual's return for taxation just the It is made clear for the first time that persons who have a net income of less than $20,t)(HI all derived from invest ments and upon which the tax has been withheld at the source, shall not be re quired to make anv return. sessed on this -return, with a fifty or one hundred per cent penalty added.

To-day was the 105th anniversary of the birth of Abraham Lincoln. Although there was little to mark the day in Barre, there were outward signs that it was not wholly forgotten. In many of the store windows and banks there were pictures of the martyred president, while in other windows and elsewhere the stars and stripes were displayed. Few of the schools were in session so the day was not observed by school ex ercises as is the custom usually. Cold weather did not prevent "visit ors dav being a success in the new North Barre school. In response to in vitations written and decorated, by the students themselves, a large number of parents made "visitors' day" 'the occa sion for their first inspection of the new schoolliouse. There were nearly 25 women at the school during the after noon. Many remained to hear- the chil dren recite. Owing to the frigid weath er conditions, special visiting in some of the up town schools was postponed. The sponsors for a movement to bring teach- s, students and parents into closer re lations, believe that the attendance in Nortli Barre promises well for the suc cess of '-visitors' day" in the other schools.

In the February American Magazine, Hugh S. Fullerton begins a new series of articles entitled "American Gambling and Gamblers." On the subject of pro fessional 'gamblers, and bridge-whist be says in part: "Bridge has superseded poker to a large extent and can be played practi cally without fear of interference. By merely changing the form of gambling the 'clubs' Jwve. secured a new list of 'suckers' besides a more certain me dium. Bridge is much easier for sharp ers than the deadliest of brace poker games, especially because of the ease with which the sucker can be drawn Iieyond his depth. Recently I saw a young man sit into a game in which he iossihly lost $50 and. in two hours, he was plucked for f 1,400. ' 1 he poker rooms of Chicago, San Francisco, Denver, New Orleans, St. Louis, and several other places visited are devoted largely to bridge. The game lias a fascination even for veteran gam blers, and a short time ago I held my breath while watching a group of pro fessional gamblers playing $1 a point and doubling at a rate that would have put John D. in the almshouse in a week of bad luck. Bridge has brought into the gambling houses an entirely new class of victims who probably never would have touched gambling in any other form.- Worse, it has carried gam bling into a new field women."
