Loss of Workers Alleged.

In answer to the arguments made for
States in the Union that seemingly
gained in prosperity after their arid
spells those in favor OF LIQUOR point to
the exoduses of workers from mining
steel and pottery districts following the
clamping down of the lid.
Another argument made 10 that many
OF the common laborers from European
countries, used to liquor all their lives,
will not stay in a dry country. The in
crease In the number OF returning aliens
Is cited In order to back UP the state
n'ents. However the answer Is made to
the latter contention that savings from
the high wartime wages which allowed
the worker to accumulate considerable
money proved moro OF an urge than the
ban on liquor,
Germans, Scandinavians and Japanese
also have given much thought to the
question of the liquor bans effect on
American competition In foreign mar
kets, As usual, the Germans view the
matter only from their own standpoint
and can see nothing but reduction In
man power in the United States as a
result of returning aliens to Germany
and other countries.
However. the discussions in the Ger
man papers have brought forcibly to
tho front the Ill effects OF excessive
beer drinking on many Germans as
indicated by the large number OF per-
sons at and about middle age who suffer
from kidney affections. This 10 looked
upon as 4 future danger to the country
In view OF the lessening OF the paternai-
ism Of the former German Government
in the way OF old age pensions and other
safeguards that assured a living to a
diligent worker when he became una BILE

YOUR BABY AND
The INCOME TAX
REVERSAL OF LAST YEARS POL
ICY is ANNOUNCED. APPLIES
ALSO TO MARRIAGE.

1t will interest those readers of
The News who have babies in their
home to know that children born in
1918 will bring varying income tax
exemptions to their parents, depend
ing on the month of the birth. A
child born in January, 1918, gives
$500 exemption in addition to the
$4,000 allowed married persons, but
II child was born in July the parent
Is entitled to exemption of only S1OO
on the infants account. If the child
was born in October the tax pay
ing parent is allowed only $50 ex-
emptlon, or one-fourth of the 5000
normal exemption.
This policy established for income
taxes is explained by the internal
revenue bureau as follows: eff YOU
were entitled to any of the fore
going exemptions $4,000 for a sim
gle person, $4,000 for a married
person or head of family, and 5000
additional for each dependent child)
during part of the year only you
may claim as many twelfths of the
exemptions stated as there were
months in such part of the year; any
part of month may be counted as
a month"
This applies also to marriage, and
divorce OF death figures as inexorably
as marriages or births in counting
the income tax.
This is reversal of last years
1licy. Then the status of a taxpayer
on the last day of the year determin.
ed his personal exemptions.

GRACE CUNARD, SISTER"
TO ALICE JOYCE AND
"OUR MARY" PICKFORD
Three Well-Known Stars Are Wives
of Three of Four Moore Brothers.
Be Here on February %.

80 AASA NAA L CYL dAE &Os
Miss Grace Cunard, star of the ap-
pealing five-reel Argosy feature, CAT
ter the War;" has two nicknames
among her friends in the motion
picture production industry on the
Pacific coast. One Of them is "The
Princess" the other is Zone of the
Moore triplets." The former was
conferred upon her because of her
charm and refined bearing. The lat
ter came to her because of an alto
gether different reason.
Photoplay producers, as a rule,
share an idea which was handed down
to them by the legitimate producers
that all information should be
suppressed as to whether or not their
stars are married. But the photoplay
public is intensely interested in the
personal life of most of it's favorites,
and when Grace Cunard, who comes
to the Palace theater on February
28th, was married one day to Joe
core, the "kid" of the Moore fam
lily, it was as impossible to suppress
the news as it was for the bride to
keep her husband from becoming
paII VI OHCle OaH > HgHCIig ma
chine.
The result is that Grace Cunard
now is one of a well-known trio
which consists also of Mary Pickford,
who is the wife of Owen Moore, and
Alice Joyce, whose husband is Tom
Moore. Incidentally, there is anoth-
err Moore brother who is eligible to
matrimony. He is Matt Moore, also
in the film business,
Girls, get busy, and become a

Legislative Check
On Subway Funds
Demanded by Club
Controllers Payment of
Damage Claims Said To
Be Excessive; Declared
to Make Fraud Possible

The Brooklyn Young Republican
Club protests against Controller Craig's
method of paying subway contractors
damage" claims without consultation
with the Public Service Commission.
The club has been investigating the
settlement Of the claim Of the Inter
continental Construction Corporation
for $328,000. 1t finds the company's
claims aggregated $999,O72, but Com
missioner Whitney Of the Public Ser
vice Commission found the company
was entitled at the most to only about
$4,000.
To the clubs representative Deputy
Controller Hahlo said the Controller
had determined the company should
receive $328,000, and the size of the
award had been reached arbitrarily. ."
or the adjusted amount $128,00O had
at last accounts been paid. The bal
ance of 100000 was due to be paid
in seven equal monthly installments.
The club contends that the Lockwood
law provides the only method of re-
lief for a contractor under Public Ser
vice contracts and under that law the
city may cancel the old contract and
make new one at cost with the same
contractor. The report Of the club
states:
Tho settlement made by the Con
troller in this case was highly i'm
proper. 1t is unprecedented that the
Controller shall settle case agains
the city where the officials immediatel,
concerned say it is improper. The Con,
troller is paying $328,000 of the city:
money for claims the Public Service
commission says are not worth more
than $4,000. We are informed there
are other claims of similar nature
pending Of which similar disposition
IS contemplated. If such action by the
controller be sanctioned, the city is a
the mercy Of any Controller who de
slres to make settlements with any
BODY in any way nc sees fit, and doc,
to great frauds upon the city i!
opened"
The report concludes: at would seen
that for such Il situation legislative re
iief should be sought, and we advocat,
an amendment to the City Charte,
which shall provide that with rcspcc
TO claims arising upon contracts mad,
with the Public Service Commission M
settlements shall be made except will
the approval Of the commission"
