AUtisny, June 26.—Of many Intereat- InfT faetfl eontalned in rerordH of the N*W "Vork .State Income Tax Bureau, reAa*rnlnf7 tax retnma filed for 1919, tl\e riiost fitrlkinK pre those friven out y«Rterday nhowlhK the important part plhyed by women in bearing th«> tax burden nf the Kmpire .State.
-Announcement that 1!>0,3S8 women fl]pd atate Income tax retumx in 1919, rentrlhntlnK very materially to the CQat of Btate g^ovemment. will be atir- prislng to many. This wa.i one-flfth of t^* total reportlnjf.
•That enerRetlc New "Vork State worn- ep lead their thrifty alaters In ofher BtBtea an income taxpayers is Indi- rjted by the latest publisheil federal fHrures which show that In 1918 a total of 373.854 women filed Income tax re- tarna in the entire United States and 6S,720 — one-flfth — were residents of New York State.
" Klifures Kiven ont by Slate Pomp. tfoller Wendell .show thnt 107.60.1 .sin- f^e women not heads of famllie.s, filed returns and paid taxes, aftgregating ti,- ]4»9,781. Their averaff" net Income sub- tp tax was $2..1!t2.
• SInKle male.t not heads of families r«nortln>f. numbered 192,981. Single meji paid a tnx totalinK $l0.4<l.'i,976, nnd their average nel Income subject to tax was $.1,i;20.
As an Illustration of the extent to wh ish. women are sharing the cost of KOvfrnment, it may be pointt-d out that | 29,910 single women flled returnff'ns' .supporting heads of families, as against 57,998 single males who made similar returns. The women in this group re- i ceived average net incomes subject fo | tax of |2,.'i99, and the amount received ; by men averaged $2,970—not such a '. wide margin.
While the income tax law provides' that husbands and wives m.ay flle .sep- j arate returns, the joint return was, as expected, the morp numerous. _ Hns- ' bands and wives filed .S31,464 Joint re¬ turns for 1919, and n clo.«p-up on signa-1 tures attached to returns tells the story | of how devoted husbands were assign-! ed Ihe privilege of spending .sleepless I nights gayljt toying with income tax figures and blanks. ]
Perhap.s the most Interesting thing j about statistics on men and women, concerns married females who flled separate returns, some with depend-1 •nta^.and others without. This cla.ss, included a very large number of weal¬ thy women whose names are familiar tf) *rt»idents of the metropolis. The ' number totaled 12,SI.";, nnd exceeded'
those of married males with or without ,
d^i()t!paents who total 12,584. j Lawrence, June 25.—Lawrence High

Eiirourage Work; Avoid Worry
In my personal experience in rallro.nd work, spread over fbrt.v-three yearn, (luring mo.st of which lime I worked for considerable lengths of lime over eight een hours a day, I could not see that any Injurious results could be traced to the amount of work done, provided, however, it was done In a way not to cause Irritation cr worry. One can train oneself to eliminate most, If not ail, of the worry of work. If a man does not llo his work in the right way 1 suppose he can kill himself in a reasonable length of time by working only an hour or two a day, or perhaps by not worl<- ing at all.-Julius Krutt.schnitt. chair man.

Cliam-es With Fortune
There is nothing to be had on the stock market without taking certain chances. But I would never stake all on a single throw and I would measure the risk by the reward. I would flrst want to find out if there was not some way of testing the chance. That can usually be done. In mining or in oil the r>oor propositions can be eliminated w> that one may have a reasonable certain¬ ty. I should not ^nant to get into any one thing too heavily. I should rather UMw ihp l>est judgment obtainable and go into perhaps several. preferabl> quitp unconnected, inx-estmcnts. Then what might happen for the worst In this one might be for the best in an oiher one. In other words, I do not be lleve in Carnegie's advice to put ever.v- thing in one basket and watch the iititi lid.—.John H^ys Hammond,
