Paying in Maiks When a French coruoral sliuned and fell on a pave ment in Dusseldorf his rifle was discharged and the bullet killed a little German girl. The French commander otter ed to pay the parents 100,000 marks, but the offer was de dared by the provincial gov ernor to be an "unheard of af front." ' The feature of the case that appears to have offended t.hp German official is the fact that the payment offered is worth about $2.10 in American money, but if the marks were worth their face value the sum would be about $21, 000. The instance provides a striking illustration of the practical wortlilessness ot German currency. 'The German government itself must be held largely responsible for the fact that 40,000 marks may be purch:.s ' ed'iir the market with one American dollar. This is in con trast; with'the ''"pre-war quotation' of about four marks for a dullar.i'i!The German government has wrecked its cur rency by a criminally foolish policy. German 'land, factories, public buildings and all othei visible resources of the nation are intact. German has no "devastated regions" to mark the destructive character oi war. The situation is that of a. man who could mortgage his property for many times its actual value. Somebody is sure to lose. . The currency of a nation ?s its promise to pay in spu- de or its equivalent in value, and when such promises ex ceed ihe ability of the nation to make them good, confi dence is lost and an unforunate financial situation is cre ated. Nobody of business sense has any faith in the in tention of the Gerinan government to redeem its currency.

"Uncle Joe" seems to think the following one is about the best that he re lated: "A preacher was culled upon to officiate at' u neighborhood christen ing. ' The audience consisted of relatives, friends and neighbors of the proud parents. 'We have met together, my friends,' said the preacher, 'on a very interesting oc casion the christening of this little child but 1 see already a look of disappointment on your faces. 'la it because this infant is so small; we must bear in mind that this globe upon which we live is made up of small things, infinitesimal objects, we might say. Little drops of wa tor make the mighty ocean; the mountains which rear their heary heads toward heaven and are often last in the clouds are made up of little grains of sand.

And this "most meritorious" girl, what great feat did she accomplish? Lather commonplace it may seem is her story. Left an orphan at 10. she took charge 'of seven chil ,.1'en'.a1"(' ilt,1.s is sliil i charge ami is cheerful despite a life of hardship, misery and sickness. She interpreted life by the simple principle f industry. She performed a humble duty because it was a duty. Another girl, now 18, an Alsatian, took care of her three small brothers when a shell at the beginning of the war buried her mother in the nuns of the home ami she is still keeping the family to gether. Similar services were performed bv the others who had been selected by the provinces as candidates for the chief prize. It is to the credit of the 1'Vench race that homelv vir tues are thus recognized. Evidently these girls knew not tii.it. inev were engaged in anv heroic work, but thev did I rise to the fulfillment of the responsibilities placed upon j them and none can do more. And it is a tribute to devotion to .simple duty as worthy the hiehest nraise that these oh- scure girls were sought out to Ik- thus signally honored. Some of them were plain, one or two inore'than plain, two quite pretty, but none wealthy, but having achieved thev are meritorious.

Huntley Collector. uttaututttttttttitaatiwtuumtjmu In tho returns of married pe'.Uons many errors have -bee.i discovered because of the failure to account for the aggregate net income of hus and, wife and dependent minor chil hcn. Kor example, John Smith, an .utisnn, had a net income of $.',101). His yife earned $1,400 as a stenog rapher, and two sons, 15 and 1? years old, earned $7-J0 each as messengers. The exemption is $2500 tho family income being less than 55,000, plus a total of $:i,:;i)0. Do lurtcd from $4,!M0, the combined taniily, income, this leaves a tax able net income of $1,040, which, however, may be further reduced b deductions of payments of interest, contributions, bad debts, etc, to be fully explained later. Separatg returns may be made bv husband and wife, or they may make a combined rctui'.i. In the event separate returns are made, either husband or wif inav claim the ex emption allowed married pel sons, in iney may divide it between them in such proportions as they ehnuse. The one contributing the chief sunnnrt may claim the $400 fr each de pendent. The $400 credit for dependents is allowed ir.lv when such nmnn w under 18 years of age or inclinable of elf-suppit because mentally ur physically defective. in the above example the sons are dependents be cause imth are under 1H veins of age. They have nut been "innnei paled" and their nartlnt hue.. ..i abandoned their right tu the son's earnings, winch, therefore, munt be included in the Parent's return.
