ENGLISH SPEECH
IS FULL OF SLANG
az MARY HENkE

LONDON, Jan 20-We like to think
Of ourselves, In the United States, as
originators Of distinctly clever and
unique vocabulary of slang. No
doubt exists on that point, but the
Englishman who insists on making
fine point Of national achievement,
insists that the Britisher can quite
put in the shade any Yankee efforts
toward slang discourse. The cas-
ual conversation of a group of Eng
lishmen will almost convince you
that he is right
The war added number of slang
words to the English vocabulary. A
shilling goes west now when it is ex-
pended on the profiteers, and fed up
which once wildly described Tommy's
attitude toward the war, now is utt
lzed to describe his feeling toward
most of the facts of life. To get the
wind up Is an expression brought
home from the trenches. and probably
best explained in United States by
the expression sore about something
~Toff" Is "Oude"
A proper ''toff," says the English
workingman, to describe anybody who
buttonhole or other marks of elevated
English word that has no equivalent.
A youth "swanks' before his girl to i'm
press her with his worth, and an
over impressibe display of wealth,
unbacked by capital, Is also clearly
"swank"
Counting slang is unique and original
and suggestive of humor. When a
youth and maiden take an interest in
each other to the extent of walking
out, the neighborhood declares they
have clicked" If a young woman
goes to a party and makes an impress
sion on a desirable young male, she
is said to have "got off," and her
friends congratulate her on having
achieved "a boy"
The most picturesque slang is found
of course in the working class, for the
middle class Englishman is almost too
careful Of his speech to be interesting.
Everybody is a "bloke," unless he is
a ''toff", and then he may be both.
It is not possible, though, to find a
common meeting ground for English
and American slang.
You can tell Yankee the world
over by the way he uses the word
"some," and his airy manner of rejoin-
ing "I'n say So" instead of using the
Britisher's satirica1 expression mot
arf!" No group of people looks quite
so completely and pathetically bored
as an audience of Britishers in a
moving picture theater trying to inter
pref the Bowery slang in New York
crook play, and the critics are con-
stantly demanding British slang for
Britishers" instead Of the necessarily
inferior American article.

WHAT ARE GIFTS?
TAXPAYERS LEARN

Contributions or gifts made within
the taxable year to corporations organ
tied and operated exclusively for re-
g1ous. charitable, scientific or edu-
cational purposes, or for the proven
ton of cruelty to children or animals,
no part of the net earnings of which
insures to the benefit of any private
stakeholder or individual, or to the
special fund for vocational rehabiliat-
ion to an amount not in excess OF Is
per cent of the individual filer's net
income from all sources as computed
without the benefit of this ruling may
be deducted.
Debts ascertained to be worthless
and charged off during the taxable
year are considered deductible items
from gross income in arriving at the
net income. In the same manner
losses suffered during the taxable
year II Incurred in trade or business
and not compensated for by insurance
or otherwise, or If INQUIRER in any
transaction entered into for profit,
though not connected with ones trade
or business; or losses arising from
fires, stores, shipwreck or other cas-
ualty or from theft, constitute de-
ductfble items from gross income.
Exhaustion and Obsoescence
A taxpayer may also claim a reason
able allowance for the exhaustion,
wear and tear Of property used in
trade or business; also reasonable
allowance for obsolescence and for de-
pletion in the case of mines, oil and
gas wells, other natural deposits and
timber.
Taxes. as a general rule, with the
exception of those assessed for local
benefits, may be deducted. OF
course, amounts paid for income, war
profits and excess profits taxes are
not deductible. With a few excep-
lions, interest paid or ACQUIRED on in
debtedness within the taxable year
may be deducted in arriving at net
income.
Persons subject to income tax are
reminded that now is the time to file
schedules. The period closes on
March Is and after that date penalties
are assessed. Heretofore, the last
two weeks of the income filing per-
1od have been greatly congested by
the crowds of eleventh hour filers
Taxpayers can save themselves time
and worry by filing now.

of Baker and Department
tBy Associated Press)

WASHINGTON, Feb. 6-Supported
by President Wilson, the shipping
board plans to proceed with the sale

department, chairman Payne declar-
ed that provision would. be made to
keep the vessels under the American
flag and subject to the call Of the
War department in case of national
emergency.
