People 
Who never knew 
They had such a thing 
As a ‘net’ income had to file a re- 
turn under the new income tax law. 
Many who should have filed a return 
may regret they did not do so before 
the time limit expired last evening. 
The new law has resulted in a great 
deal of confusion and will undoubted- 
ly be somewhat amended.

If you didn’t receive yours at the 
Manchester club Ministrels last night. 
maybe you will tonight. It is said 
the real knocks were saved for the 
last night; otherwise there might not 
have been any night but the first. 
(This is a stage secret). If you did 
not attend last night, don’t miss it 
tonight !

More frequently as town meeting 
time rolls around we hear this com- 
bination mentioned for the new board 
of selectmen—-Knight, Wheaton and 
Dean. Of course, other combinations 
are heard, but this one most often.

The past week has brought all the 
varieties of weather supposed to go 
with the passing of February and the 
entry of March in the succession of 
months. The proverbial February 
thaw came according to schedule and 
with it a heavy rain storm. A sharp 
freeze, of course, followed. Persons, 
who felt the freezing weather of 
Wednesday, comforted themselves in 
the remembrance that on the same 
day one year ago the thermometer 
stood at 6° above zero.

The list of stations of the New 
England Telephone Company shows 
that Manchester has more telephones 
than the average town in New Eng- 
land twice the size. Its number, 662, 
is equivalent to one telephone for 
every five inhabitants.

“Spies are said to be photograph- 
ing Senator Lodge’s Nahant estate. 
but our guess is that the Germans will 
make their first landing at the near- 
est dock to Gussie Gardner’s home 
town.” Hamilton? Well they will 
have to pass through Manchester. ~ 
so . 
That the fear of this country being 
drawn into an entangling alliance with 
a European nation, in event of our 
entry in to the great war, is no new 
specter for the pacifist, is testified by 
the following extract from resolutions

drawn by the citizens of Manchester 
in 1809 when the country was on the 
verge of war with Great Britain: 
“gly Resolved That we view with 
equal destestation the Idea that the 
Nation is to be plunged into a war 
with a great Britain, for the purpose 
of being intangled in an alliance with 
France.” The original paper is on 
file in the selectmen’s office, signed by 
Abial Burgess, Moderator, and De- 
lucena L. Bingham, Town Clerk, says 
Lamson’s. History of Manchester. 
EARLY MORNING FIRE 
Fire of unknown origin totally de- 
stroyed the barn and garage on the 
property of Ralph Henry Barbour, 
the writer, off Pine st., Manchester, 
early this morning. Thomas Walsh, 
who lives at 102 Pine st., near the 
-avenue leading to the Barbour’ home, 
was awakened shortly after 4 o'clock 
by the sound of a slight explosion. 
Looking out of a window he saw the 
garage in flames. He ran to the cor- 
ner of Pine and Central sts. where he 
sounded the alarm on Box 41. The 
whistle alarm sounded at 4.20 o’clock. 
When the firemen arrived the build- 
ing was all ablaze, the fire having 
gone so far it was impossible to 
save the building or contents. Mr. 
Barbour’s first knowledge of the fire 
was when he was awakened by the 
sound of the whistle. His automo- 
bile, a 1916 Studebaker roadster, was 
destroyed in the fire. He had no idea 
how the fire could have started. The 
only heat in the building was by a 
hot water heater. Besides the car 
there was a quantity of furniture 
stored in the second story of the build- 
ing. The value of the building was 
about $3500 and it was fully insured. 
Mr. Barbour also carried insurance 
on his automobile. George E. Will- 
monton’s agency held both policies. 
The Breeze $2 a year postpaid.
