To the rhythmic tramp, tramp of 150 pairs of Army boots worn by stalwart soldiers of Uncle Sam's Army, three platoons of the 412th Aero Construc tion Squadron of Vancouver Barracks went through one of the finest and most creditable drills possible last nlKht In tbe Auditorium. The drill waa the feature of the big military dance given by the Signal Corps, Spruce Production Division, for the benefit of their mess and other funds. Fully 2000 persons attended the affair, and repeatedly burst into loud applause and cheers as the squadron went through their drill, under com mand of Lieutenant T. M. Thomas. They also went through a whistle drill in an equally creditable manner. The finale waa an effective closing, two buglers standing against the American flags at the back of the stage sounded taps as the lights In the Auditorium were dimmed and a spot light showed the Stars and Stripes be ing lowered. Thla waa followed by the audience singing "The Star- Spangled Banner." Another pretty feature of the affair was the grand march, led by Lieu tenant-Colonel and Mrs. Van Way, Colonel and Mrs. Brice P. Dlsque. The march was resplendent with dozens of girls, attired In Red Cross nurses' uni forms and caps, members of the elec trical union, who are called upon fre quently to attend military dances partner for the soldiers. There also were a number of well-known Port land and Vancouver women In smart evening toilettes. The balance of the evening waa devoted to dancing.

PAYMENT CHANGES SOUGHT Request for Installment Method Re ceived With Some Favor by Com missioner Roper Rich Men Praised for Patriotism. WASHINGTON. April 11. Recent re ports from revenue collectors indicate that the Government may receive from Incomes and excess profits taxes in June much more than the $2,600,000,000 estimated. Some estimates, based on preliminary examination of returns filed ten days ago, run as high as $4,000,000,000. If these calculations of big collec tions are borne out by further exami nation of returns within the next two weeks, the Treasury may recommend legislation toprovide for installment payment of taxes, probably on June 15, August 15 and October 15... The Treas ury's decision on this question also de pends largely on the success of the liberty loan in the next week or ten days. A delegation of the National Confer ence of State Manufacturers' Associa tions, accompanied by members of Congress, today appealed to Internal Revenue Commissioner Roper for the establishment of a system to ease the financial burden on business In June. Roper GIvea Eneooraajrmenr. Ur. Roper promised that the Treas ury would grant the request If the conditions of Government finances made it possible and advisable. Here tofore both Secretary McAdoo and Mr. Roper have expressed themselves opposed to the plan. The liberty loan would be stimulated by making It possible for business con cerns to pay their taxes In install ments, the manufacturers declared. Under the present rule many feel that they are financially unable to buy lib erty bonds for resale to employes and at the same time make arrangements for the tax outlays In June. CHICAGO, April 11 Some men are paying aa high as $30,000,000 income tax in the United States, according to Charles A. Eaton, head of the National service section of the United States Shipping Board and Emergency Fleet Corporation. Some Pay Thirty Million. The statement waa made In the course of an address here today. The stenographic report of his remarks quotes him aa follows: There are men In this Nation today paying five millions, ten millions and some as high aa 30 millions of dollars in income taxes to the Government, and I have yet to hear from these men the first objection, the first squeal. They are patriotic. They walk up and give their money In service to the Na tion. TROOPS TO VISIT HIGHWAY Portland Citizens Asked to Give Autos for Scenic Trip.

C FRATERNITIES VOTE DRAS TIO FOOD MEASURES. ' Conservation to Be Practiced csrennij . fcy College; Men and Women W Draw Up Rules. OREGON AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE. Corvallis, April 11. (Special.) Drastic action on the Question of food conser vation was taken at a special meeting of fraternities, sororities and clubs of Oregon Agricultural College last night. Binding rules were drawn up by the students and each pledged the support of his organization to the measures. The result probably will be that the soda fountain and candy counter of the co-operative store owned and operated by the students will be closed, for the students pledged themselves to use no candy, soft drinks or sodas. This meas ure will also mean that no downtown stores carrying confectionary will ne visited by these students. The meeting was tne resun or a pa triotic move on the part of a number of the bovs and girls to really conserve. Public sentiment will be the determin ing factor in the new regime and stu dents found not living up to their pledge will be looked upon as slackers to their country. The list of substitutions and ail ac- tion taken was first submitted to the home economics department ana a carefully balanced supply of foods ar ranged so that no one might suffer.
