C. Hojipn, Raleigh, went to Roanoke Island to tase tne part of Governor John White, in the Lost Colony episodsir The picture was made at a cost of about $3,000 Dr. Brooks amtotoced last night. The demand for it over the state has been so great that, for the present, it will be loaned out to the Women's Clubs, for presentation on a' basis that will allow the department some return.

Remember the date, March 28th. MORE INCOME TAX NEWS Commissioner of Revenue Watts said today that the law permits him to grant extensions of time to taxpayers for filing income tax returns from March 15th in cases of sickness, absence, or other disability or whenever in his judgment good cause exists for such extension. The law re quires interest-at the rate of six per cent per. annum from March 15th to the time of payment to be paid where extensions are granted. Extensions will be granted upon application where lawful cause is shown, but in all cases the interest required by law will be collected.

AH thege miovemjentsf organizations, and even extra-legal appoint ments, for the enforcement of the law in different parts of the country must be rather interesting to ihe public officials who are under official oath to do that very thing, and might be rather embarrassing if they were not such hardened officeholders.
