News- paper reporters straightened out the affairs of Miss Ray and the Internal Revenue office. Result of the nowshound's nosing into the matter: Miss Ray got a 533.00 refund due on the income tax she paid last year, which proves that one may sometimes pay too much or too little to the income tax people.
