SURPLUS DIVIDENDS EXFsIPT.
Decision Will Cut Of Millions In
Revenue.

Washington, june 1.-The SUPREME
Court in an opinion yesterday held
that dividends paid to stockholders in
corporations out of surplus accumula-
tons or to the income tax Jaw OF
1913 are not income and are there
fore not taxable under the act.
The decision may have the effect of
cutting off several million dollrrs in
revenue under the present income tax
law, since the principle involved in the
1912 act also would affect the newer
measure Many returns, it IS SAID,
included dividends paid from surplus
accumulated before the new act vas
passed, and we're reported as TAXABLE.
If it is foun dafter examining the
Supreme Court decision that these, pay
ments are exempt, provision will be
made for deducting the sums, or re-
funding them, if they already have
been paid.

WHAT COUNTRY MUST DO
FOR IT'S DISABLED SOLDIERS
Problems of Reconstruction Confront American Rec
Cross With New Tasks and New Responsibilities.

When American soldiers, blinded In
battle, recover from their immediate
wounds at the base hospitals in France
special work for them is commenced
Later they are brought 70 the United
States Military General Hospital No.
Z, at Baltimore, for further medical
and surgical treatment and special
teaching. The ideal of the government
will be to place every blinded man In
a condition to take care Of himself and
those dependent on him. In many
cases, it is hoped the men will be able
to command a larger salary after TAX
ing their training than before they lost
their sight.
American Red Cross has supple
mented the Army's plan by creating
the Red Cross Institute for the Blind
One of it's functions will be to provide
certain financial aid to equip the blind
man after his re-education is complet-
ed, as, for instance, furnishing type
writer's to those who enter CONNER
cial life. 1t will be unearthng new oc-
cupations, helping to establish homes
and arrange home work FOR those who
cannot go into Offices or factories.
But it will do something else that is,
The circle banner., 1918-12-27

again, a Christmas story. This Red
Cross Institute will, in so far as Is hu.
manly possible, have the relative who
will be responsible for the care Of the
blind man when he returns home, take
the government training, side by side
with him, as is now done by the British
and French. With this full under
standing at home of his difficulties and
possibilities, many an ambition at first
undreamed of may be fulfilled.
Through the gift of Jeremiah Mil
bank of New York the Red Cross was
enabled to establish in New York It's
experimental Red Cross Institute for
Crippled and Disabled Men. One of
it's principal objects Is to assist in the
general campaign of public education
regarding the results which can be ac-
complished by Systematically refrain
ing disabled men for occupations In
which they can successfully compete
with able-bodied men.
"Thus equipped" writes W. Frank
Persons, Director General of Civilian
Relief of the American Red Cross,
"they may confidently look forward to
a future of normal human work and
play"

CARING FOR THOSE
WHO ARE LEFT BEHIND

Because Of her continued absence
from school and the fact that she lived
in rather,an undesirable neighborhood
and was on the streets all day school
teacher recently brought to the atten-
tion of the Home Service department
of the Red Cross the story of a girl of
ten years whose mother was Ill and
whose only other relatives were two
brothers, one In camp and the other a
youth of seventeen whose earnings
seemed to be the only means Of sup
port for the family.
The Home Service worker called,
found the mother very Ill and needing
hospital care at once. Arrangements
were made for the mothers care and
also for a home for the girl in the
country where she would receive real
home training and love, The mother
grew worse and died soon afterwards.
The seventeen-year-old boy enlisted.
The boy in camp had not known that
his mother needed his help, but was
glad to contribute from his pay when
the true circumstances were made
known. The girl is now In the coun-
try, going to school, and is receiving
allotments from both of her brothers
and is we'll cared for. She is under
the watchful care of the Home Service
workers and comes to them often for
counsel.

Christmas Is
Cildren,s Day

The message of Christmas = love
Its emblem is radiant. thankful, con
tented childhood. Without love and
without children there could be nc
real Christmas. The form might sur
vive but the substance would be lack.
ing.
Unhappy must be the adult who can.
not make himself a child again in
spirit at the Yuletide. For Christmas
is the universal children's day. Men
and women are superfuous except as
they make themselves partners with
those whom the day glorifies.
Let us, then, lay aside the affecta-
tion and arrogance Of manhood and
womanhood and be children again.
Let us adopt their point of view and
put ourselves in their places-in the
places of these sons and daughters of
ours and of the sons and daughters of
our neighbors. 1t was only year or
two ago, as it seems. when we hung
our well-worn stockings In row along
the mantel shelf, while our fathers
and mothers looked on with unfeigned
pleasure at the innocent confidence we
showed in what the morrow would
bring forth.
Even as you and I. 1t all comes
back in a flood Of memories. Life
was simpler then. Our desires were
less pretentious than those our chill
dren voice now. Modest remembrances
they were that bulged toe and heel OF
the stockings mother knit.
Life and its circumstances change,
but the essence of Christmas never.
The same happy childhood, the same
restlessness, the same snail-like creep
ing Of time as the holiday approaches.
The same parenthood. too-the same
planning across the reading table after
the boys and girls are abed, the same
loving consideration of what this or
that child most desires and how far
the family purse can properly be
stretched to permit some further pur-
chase.
Every home is assured Christmas
II 1t has great, warm heart pulsating
in tune with the hopes and Joys Of
childhood
The circle banner., 1918-12-27

During these Christmases, wher
men in the trenches and on mined sea:
sing carols; when our country glows tt
its uttermost boundaries with the sym
Dol of the Red Cross; when the mos
earthbound look for awhile at the
crosses and the stars-1ew under
standings, new simplicities, new will
ingness for service come to very many
men and women.
And as our soldiers and sailors who
went out young and strong and singing
the "Long, Long Trail" and "Ovei
There" now come back crippled an6
disabled, Americans are seeing more
and more their own part and RESPONSE
biIity In reconstruction. This work
means teaching the blind to see, CIV
ing movement to the paralyzed. power
to the remnants of arms and legs to
do full duty, the chance Of health to
the tubercular, light to minds be-
logged by shell shock.
Our government, the Medical De
partment of the Army and the Ameri-
can Red Cross, from the time of our
entrance In the war, have been work
Ing out the tasks preparatory to this
reconstruction, which is the key-word
to their usefulness and happiness.
The work itself is already begun In
the hospitals where our returned men
have been brought.
This has meant the equipment OF
hospitals, the recruiting OF the doc
tors and nurses and the formulation OF
plans for training for yocations, which
means independence, replacing activi-
ty for inactivity.
For this physical reconstruction In
our military hospitals at home, our
government through the office OF the
Surgeon General, is asking for recon-
struction aids. This hospital service
is open to hundreds, indeed thousands,
OF women who as wives of men In the
service have been technically barred
from other military hospital service.
They are needed at once and may
learn full particulars regarding train
ing, qualifications, pay and so forth
By writing for information to the office
Of the Surgeon General, Division of
Reconstruction, Washington, D. G..
They are civilian employees OF the
Medical Department Of the Army, and
their work comes under one OF two
ciasses-either the distinctly physical
reconstruction which has to do with
massage, electrotherapy, dydotherapy
and mechanotherapy, or the occupa-
tionaI work which will prepare the
men to take up the regular vocational
training for which we often hear the
word ''re-education."
The Federal government has charge
Of this work. Other agencies working
under government control will help
The American Red Cross, especially,
will supplement it. and through Its
Home Service has assumed the obliga-
ton to assist every soldier or sailor
and his family whenever they need
cid or counsel from It
