Professors Are State Employees And Will Not Pay Income Tax
A letter received recently by Dean F. W. Blackmar from H. M. Pepperell, collector for this district, explained and corrected and erroneous ideas that may be held by professors concerning the Income Tax. As Mr. Pepperell interprets it, all salaries paid to officers and employees of a state or any political subdivision thereof by the state are exempt from the income tax.
Dean Blackmar Receives Letter From District Collectors Exempting Professors
While exempted from payment of the tax, unmarried professors receiving more than $1,000 a year and married professors receiving more than $2,000 a year are required to obtain blanks and make report of the year's income, just as is done by persons subject to the tax.
In his letter to Dean Blackmar, Mr. Pemerell says:

"Under the provisions of the act approved October 3rd, 1917, all salaries paid to officers and employees of a state or any political subdivision may be paid by such compensation be paid by the United States, are exempt from tax."

Crimson and Blue Streamers and Flags Greeted The Prom-

But Taxis Were Used
Goers
Taxis with flowers, punch and dress suits were on the taboo list Friday night at the Junior Prom but the man that would permit his lady to walk to the gym through the fourteen degrees below weather did not go to this last event of the All-University social year. For, disregarding all stories to the contrary practically every couple taxed to the Prom.
The patriotic decorations promised by the managers, Warren Woody and Ray Hemphill held. At each end of the hall large American flags were stretched above the dancers and from the center red and blue streamers were fastened to the balcony.
You Did Not Expect a
SALE OF GOSSARD CORSETS
This Season
Nor did we, for steadily advancing price of all merchandise made it seem unprobable that Gossard Corsets, in which the highest standard of manufacture must at
all times be maintained, could be offered at sale price. BUT the Gossard people have allowed each one of their agents over the United States to take a limited number of corsets and make special prices. They allow us the full amount we give you in these discounts.
Beginning Tuesday we offer the following:
$8.50 Gossards ... $5.67
$6.50 Gossards ... 4.33
$3.50 Gossards ... 2.67
$2.50 Gossards ... 1.87
There are just 50 corsets in, so come early and be fitted in one.
