THOUSANDS OF WOMEN 

PAY TAX ON INCOMES 

Thousands of women are required to file an income tax return and pay a tax on their net income for the year 1922. No official estimate can be given of the number of such women, but statistics of income for the year 1920, recently issued, show that approximately 503,000 women filed returns for that year, claiming the $1,000 exemption allowed a single person. The amount of net income reported by these women was $1,264,955,727. In addition there were filed 132,181 returns by women claiming an exemption of $2,000 as the head of a family, “a person who supports and maintains in one household one or more individuals closely related to him (or her) by blood, marriage or adoption.” Net income reported by these women for the year 1920 amounted to $388,364,530. 

The number of wives making separate returns from husbands for the year 1920 was 77,558, reporting net income of $534,840,405. These figures show the income reported in returns filed by women forms an important part of the aggregate income of the people of the United States.

Commuters on D. & H. 

Had Long Wait Tuesday 

Hundreds of commuters from stations on the Delaware and Hudson railroad south of Albany were unable to reach the city Tuesday morning, and scores more were hours late for work when all traffic on the single track line was tied up by derailment of a freight train locomotive at HIlton’s Crossing, between Slingerlands and Voorheesville shortly before 7 o’clock. 

A wrecking train was sent from Albany and succeeded in clearing the track by noon. Delmar and Slingerlands passengers either walked to the city, fought for places on the crowded automobile buses or stayed at home. 

At other stations along the line and at Altamont, passengers waited until the noon train came through. This train was also delayed by a broken brake beam. 

Commuters will be glad when winter is over, for the D. & H. has certainly had its troubles with drifting snow and rundown equipment. The patrons hope that things will be better when the sun shines on both sides of the street.
