MUST PAY INCOME
TAX To ENGLAND
MRS. BALDWIN DRUMMOND, OF
CHICAGO, HAS TO COUGH
UP $4,000.

LONDON. July 3l,--Mrs Baldwin
Drummond, formerly Mrs. Marshall
Field, Jr,, of Chicago. has lost her
aappeal to the high court against the
payment OF $4,000 income tax on
moneys received from the trustees of
the estate of the late Marshall Field
for the maintenance and education of
the three grandchildren, two boys and
a girl who are living In England un-
der the guardianship of Mrs. Drum
mond.
Judge Sir Thomas Morridge upheld
the contention of the solicitor general
that the moneys received from the
trustees in Chicago must be regarded
as ''income from foreign possessions.
and that Mrs. Baldwin Drummond.
who received the money az guardian
of the children, is chargeable.
Mrs Drummond's attorney contends
that the children's maintenance and
school bills had been sent to the trus-
tees and paid by them and that. there
fore. his client was not liable.

HEALTH or THE CHILD
Medca Authority Calls Attention
to Dangers That Menace the
School Children.

Washington. Dec. Il. Is your
child healthy?
If he is in school and is re.
ceiving only the ordinary atten-
ton paid to school children, he
may have some defect which
NAV initiate against him before
he reaches his maturity, accord
ing to DR.. Thomas d. Woods.
professor of physical education
at Columbia University.
Seventy.fye per cent of the
school children in the country
today are suffering from rcmedi-
able defects which need medi-
ical attention. the doctor de-.
clares Between so and % per
cent have defective teeth. be-
tween 100000 and 500. 600 Of the
-, 600 600 school children the
country over have organic
troubles.
Five per cent Of the country's
children have, or have had. tu-
bercular disease of the lungs.
the doctor says, and an equal
number suffer from curvature Of
the spine or hat-footedness, 10 a
degree that it interferes with
their general health. Twenty
five per cent have defective sight
and an equal number are suffer
ing from mal-nutrition. Thirty
per cent have adenoids or en-
larged tonsils and may million
children have both ailments.
Arguing for an entirely new
order Of teachers, nurses and
ply sicians the doctor makes this
impressive statement In a bulle-
tin just issued by the Bureau OF
Education:
IF II were possible 10 estimate
accurately the gain to the race
and to the nation in one genera

be startled by one of the most
stupendous facts in human his

official Paper
NOME, ALASKA, AUGUST 20, 1913.
One sentence in the story of in,

One sentence in the story of the wreck of the State of California brings out in sud relief the awful de- tails of such an occurrence. When the Nugget published the story of the wreck last Monday people won dered why so many women had lost their lives while many men had been saved but the question has been ans wered by the sentence which tells how the mast fell on the life boat while it was filled with women. The picture which those words present to the mind is indeed horrible. One can see the great mast falling from above as one might see 1t in q ter rorizlng nightmare and he can see women in the boat below crushed out if existence in a moment. There Is some relief In the thought that 1t was by some accident like that that so many women lost their lives. There was evidently done everything possi- ble to get them away first from the sinking ship but by this very cir cumstance their doom was sealed. The captain went down with his ship as captain is supposed to do and certainly no blame can be attached to him. The remark able fact is thut the loss of life was so small. comparatively. when 1t Is taken into account that the ship sunk in three minutes after striking. The hull was torn from stem to stern the telegram told the Nugget readers and one can understand how the ship with the bottom torn out must have sunk like lead. How the people man aged to get clear in such n short time is something extraordinary asd. after all, the result might have been much more awful.
 It will probably he found when the whole story is known thnt the people in the list of the missing were caught in their rooms and went to tho bot tom with the vessel.
 That catastrophe took place thou sands of miles from Nome hut the pe- cuiiar conditions of life in the terri- tory make 1t seem local loss. lt shows how much the people of Alaska may he regarded as unit no matter how far apart they might be. Many of the dead are strangers to the ter ritory but many others are people

who have made their homes here and
 they leave many mourning friends. One of the women lost has been out side for her health's sakc for some years and her husband had been con- stantly wishing for her return.
