Income Tax Information
'Tercy P. CacHy," writing for an
exchange as an admitted "efficiency
expert," makes H clear how one
whose income Is' subject lo a govern
ment tax may arrive at a correct po
lution of the Intricate problem of
how much. Here are the facts, from
which you are to supply the figures:
l "First take your home,
Add wife's income,
( Divide by your eldest son's age,
'And your telephone number,
Subtract your auto license num
ber, Add electric light bill.
Divide by number of kilowatts,
Multiply by your father's age,
Add number of gold fillings in
teeth,
Add your house numbers
Subtract wife's age (approximate).
Divide by number of aunts you
have,
Add the number of uncles,
Subtract number of daughters,
Multiply by number of times
You have gone up in an aeroplane,
Subtract your best golf score;
Add a pinch of sale
And then go out and
Borrow the money and pay the
tax."
Speaking of income tax calcula
tions and the deductions allowed I
am forced to admit my inability to
comprehend (be method t fiqnrir.g

Alliance is rapidly becoming met
ropolitan. At this time we can boast
of a roof garden popular as a ren
dezTOus for Sunday morning camera
Sends. It's a dandy, too the like
ness of a pretty maiden whom many
f you know that caused us to re'
alise the popularity of this roofless
haven of buxom beauties.
For the Information of those who
may or may not be interested, the
seventh and unknown (?) member
f tEKEmployment Committee for
Returned Soldiers is none other thin
the recently elected secretary of the
Community Club, Mr. H. E. Graves,
formerly of Central City.
i
i A prominent Alliance merchant
suggests the passing of a city ordin
ance, by the council, making it a
misdemeanor punishable by Jail sen
tence of ninety-nine years, for a per
on or persons to attempt repair of
the city thoroughfares. Si is conn
dent this would have a tendency to
basten the paving of the business
section that will otherwise be lost.
There's consolation in all things
Even the ordinary scribe can console
himself in the thought of escaping,
by no mean margin, the worry of the
income tax.

Y. VI. G. A, OPENS
VORKJN ITALY
Tea and Club Rooms Opened for
American Women.
Miss Charlotte Nlven, Director of Ital
ian Work, Prepares for Influx of
American Woman Students.
Italy Is now Included In tlie war
work of the American Y. W. C. A.
Mis Mabel Varnr of Sntinn, Kan.,
and Chicago left Paris a few days ago
for Rome, where she will be In charge
of a Hostess House for American girls
employed there by the American Red
Cross, the Embassy and the new Tu
berculosis Commission. Miss Warner
has been director of the Y. W. a A.
Hostess House at Brest, France.
Miss Warner will open a tea room
and club rooms where the American
women can gather for social times.
Rome Is harboring a refuge population
of about 40,000 and accommodations
are difficult to find.
The work In Rome was started as a
direct result'of the appeal of Miss
Charlotte Nlven, one of the National
Y. W. C. A-. secretaries of Italy, who Is
mendlnc a few months In France as
advisor In the French work.
Miss NIven'a dreams of Y. W. C A.
work In Italy Include the maintenance
ef a residence for non-Italian women,
who, she feels, will come to Italy In
great' numbers after the war to study
music and art
"I believe at this time such a project
la particularly important because wo-
wmn frnm nthr countries anouia oe
encouraged to come to Italy to replate-,
. .
the great numbers of German women
who flooded Italy la the past, many of
them paid agents of their govern-
ment," Miss Nlven said In discussing
her plans.
Miss Nlven has asked the American
Y. W. C. A. to aid the Italian Associa
tion In establishing a center, perhaps
at Genoa, with two American secreta
ries, with plfyslcal and recreational
training, to act as a training school for
Italian, women, ta connection with It
her plan would Include a Hostess House
for girls passing through the city or
employed there. Such a center would
become eventualy the center for all
Y. W. C. A. work In Italy, both Italian
and foreign. ,
In her formal appeal for.help for the
TJnlone Crlstlana Delle Glovanl (the
Italian name for Young Women's
Christian Association) Miss Nlven has
emphasised two facts, the poverty of
the Italian Association on the one hand
and the need and opportunity on the
other for an American program la
Italy at the present time.
Miss Nlven's favorite way of Illus
trating the friendliness ef the Italian
woman to America Is by telling the
atory of the Italian mother who said
she had taken down the picture of the
Madonna which had bung for many
years over her bed nd was putting In
Its place one of President Wilson.
"In our work in the Untone we have
lacked trained leadership aa well as
the material resources to give such
training. We have had no means to
buy modern equipment Consequently
we have not the visible results of
American and British work.
"Feeble as our work may be, It is
not useless. Msny girls In all parts of
Italy have told us how much the
TJnlone meant In their lives. Italian
girls are touchlngly grateful for the
smallest efforts. They respond eagerly
to friendliness.
"There is no other agency doing In
Italy what the association Is trying to
do."
Miss Nlven has spent the past seven
years in work with the Italian women.

High School Notes j
Although o r basket ball boys had
the satisfaction of beating the cham
pions of western Nebrr.ska, Kimball,
at the state tourr.-.ment, the worst
happened when they met Dunbn.r on
Thursday. The rame ended with the
score 16-19 In favor of Dun war. The
final scores for the tournament are
as follows:
Class Winners Runners-up
A. Shelton 20; Omaha Com. 15.
U Sutton 39; Aarllngton 12.
C Hardy 20; Seward 5.
D Chester 21; Nebraska City 9.
E Gretna 28; I'lainvlew 19.
F Holbrook 29; Deshlcr 14.
G Ansley 35; Waverly 14.
H Wayne 30; Palmyra 12.
The following is a quotation from
"The Dully Nebraskan":
"Shelton became king of the Ne
braska high school world by wring
ing a 20 to 16 victory from tho
Omaha Commerce team lust Satur
day in the Auditorium, while Sutton
won Class 'B honors by eliminating
Arlington in a one-sided conflict of
39 to 12.
The truimph of the Chelton tossers
was the startling surprise of the
tournament. All day Saturday odds
of two to one on the Commerce repre
sentatives were fairly floating around
town and the general opinion among
the wise one was that the lads from
Shelton would get but one passing
glance at the silver trophy. The larg
est and best blown soap bubie some
times explodes in a vry surprising
manner, as two thousand spectators
of the final class A. battle will wit
ness. .
The Seniors entertained the basket
ball boys and the High Cchool facul
ty, Tuesday evening in the high
school gym, in honor of the basket
ball boys. The gym was prettily dec
ora tcyd in the colors of the high
school, blue and white, and banners.
Various games were played. Dignity
winaa. ana a gen-
ulne frolic followed. A two course
luncnen waR Berved, and toasts were
givn by fiifferent membersh cf the
class, the team, Mr. Prince and Mr.
Pate. The affair was a great success
and much enjoyed by all.
A few friends were entertained at
the home of Mios Margaret Beal
Wednesday evening in .honor of Miss
Beal's birthday. A large cake with
many candles excited much admira
tion and comment. Everyone had n
very pleasant time, and Miss Beal re
ceived many good wishes for the
coming year.
