4 WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, ¥RIDAY, FEBRUARY 15, 1918 Burton Holmes Gives First of New Series Five New Travelogues Are Being Given in Chicago With Illustrations. "Around the Militant Pacific," is the comprehensive title of the new series of the Burton Holmes Trave- logues. For over seven months, Mr. Holmes has sailed the waters of the Pacific in search of absolutely new worlds to conquer with his rapid-fire cameras, that he might make this season memorable because of its dis- tinct novelty, new and unexplored and unexploited fields, in his per- sonal endeavor to bring the interest- Burton Holmes. ing places of the world to his audi- ences. No one can quite realize.the sig- nificance of the word "militant" with- out stopping to consider that Mr. Holmes' voyaging for thousands of miles, was done on ships, which showed no lights at night, which sailed secret and zig-zag courses, which dodged suspicious-looking strange craft and which were watch- ed over every moment by units of the British and Japanese navies. The first of the Travelogues was Zaven Wednesday at Orchestra Hail, Chicago.

This ruling applies also to reports on payments of more than $800 during the year to be made by employers and 'business enterprises, and covers incomes both above and below $3,000, and corpora- tion incomes. Delay in the preparation of blank forms and regulations was the prin- cipal cause for the postponement. Forms have not yet been issued for excess profits returns of three classes --individual, partnership and corpora- tion; for income returns by trustees or fiduciaries, and for partnership in- come returns. These are now prom- ised for next week. All other forms have been dis- tributed, including those for individual incomes of the classes above and be- low $3,000, corporation incomes, and reports on payments of more than $800, or the so-called "information at the source." The extension of time to April 1 applies to returns by corporations do- ing business on a fiscal year basis. Originally they were required to re- port within sixty days after the end of their fiscal year; this was extended to Feb. 1 and later to March 1. This does not mean an extension of time in which to pay the taxes. Treasury Department officials made it clear that all taxes for 1917 must be paid by June 1. in accordance with the originally announced schedule. E. J. Horan, deputy collector of in- ternal revenue, will be at the Wil- mette banks to answer questions con- cerning the income tax. Mr. Horan will have his headquarters at the Wilmette First National bank on Sat- urdays and at the Wilmette State bank on Mondays. SKILLED WORKMEN WANTED FOR U. S.
