Besides these things which are fairly

medical Institutions gave fifty men,

also turned over to the government,
and 1t seemed as II the school had
become only a memory.
One university In the far West was
so foresighted as to give instruction
in the problems Of reconstruction and
another held lectures for soldier and
civilian alike, treating the wars prob

this was in addition to becoming one
Of the many armed camps into which
the colleges changed, and education
schedules became almost nonentity.
The womens colleges, too. joined
their efforts. Besides war chests,
from which one well-known female
college drew $4,000, they maintained
ambulances in France, and sent driv-
ers for them. Beds In hospitals of
France were endowed, and summer
training camps for nurses were es-

WINNINGS AT POKER
ARE TAXABLE INCOME
Losses By Raidcd Moonshiner
May Be Deducted.

WASH NGroN, March 10.-Business
losses of gamblers. moonshiners, boot
leggers and other participants in illegal
practices are deductable from gross in
comes in determining net income subject
to taxation. The internal revenue bu-
reau decided that question to-day in
passing upon inquiries from professional
gamblers in New York, Chicago. Boston
and from other cities and from a long
inquiry of southern ex-moonshiner.
Tho bureaus attitude is that income even
from an illegal business is taxable and
ness are deductable but not TO an extent
exceeding earnings from the business.
Tax collectors are concerned with col
lecting revenue and not prosecuting lille
gal businesses. Consequently they will
regard as confidential any disclosures of
illegal source of income.
This inquiry came from a Southern
State:
II was engaged last year in the bust
ness of making whiskey which the rev
enue says is illegal. I was raided by the
revenues and my still was taken and
was fined. have now quit the business
but want to know whether l have TO
make income return of the money !
made off the whiskey and whether l can
deduct the loss of my stilllor my fine
The reply was that both the loss Of the
still and the fine could be deducted
Similarly the proprietor of a gambling
house whose place was raided and whose
furniture and gambling equipment was
destroyed, was permitted to deduct the
value of the furnishings. Poker players
must include winnings in their income
but may deduct losses only IL they do not
exceed winnings.
Taxpayers of these classes may repor
their earnings as "other income" or un
der some other classification not disclos
ing illegal source of the earnings.
