$o75,OOO Drive for Poor
OF City Begins Thursday
New York Association Seeks
Sum TO Garry on Work in
Present Ncnr

A city-wide campaign by the New
York Association FOR Improving the
Condition of the Poor for the collec-
tion OF q fund of $975 900 for CARRYING
on it's work in the coming year will be.
gin Thursday morning, when teams Will
be assigned to each section of New
York
With regard to the drive the asso-
cation yesterday issued the following
statement. signed by Cornelius N.
Bliss jr.:
eve are asking the people of New
York to contribute $975,O0O for our
work this year.
During the war we kept we'll in the
background; we felt that ours was not
the prior claim. Meanwhile the people
of the city poured out millions to al
levlate suffering in many parts of the
world. There is mnch still to be done
abroad, and We do not want to deter
any one from continuing to give to the
work there, but now that the war is
over it seems only right that we should
make special effort to give relief to
the poor of New Yorll-to those who
because of death cr incapacity of the
wage Garner, are in serious want.
through no fault of their own.
1T means just as much to be hungry
In New York as in Belgium, and it
hurts as much to be cold here as anv
where else in the world"

Are You Important?
Then Here's a WAY
To Crab a Million
First Convince Psycholo-
gist of Your Greatness,
Howl Against Socialism,
Collect From B.D.A.S.A.

Want to make nice piece Of change ?
Demonstrate that you have influence
and power in your own community.
Then the "Billion- Dollar Anti-Socialist
Association of Wall Street" will cor
rupt you, pour into your hand it's
tainted gold and expect you to do moth
ing in return therefor but howl now
and again against the menace of So
cialism. Never heard Of the B. D. A.
s. A? Listen
1t financed the Lusk committee.
1t ousted the five Socialist Assembly
men.
1t is working to thwart the social
revolution.
1t stops at nothing in its campaign.
Anyway. that's what New York So
cialists yesterday said that f. Halde-
man-Julius, one Of the editors Of "The
Appeal to Reason" had told them that
"an international banker" had told him
that some one in Wall Street had in
formed him was fact. Nobodys name
is mentioned except Haldeman- -Iulius's
Experts on advertising, psychology
and topography, it was said, are on the
staff of the association. The adverts-
ing men are to sway public opinion;
the psychologists are to determine
what persons in each community are
most worth corrupting. Up to late
hour last night no one had come for
ward with an explanation Of the duties
of the topographers.
Anyhow, the organization has mil
lions Of dollars in gold on hand, and
all you've got to do to get all you can
carry is to convince one of the psychol-
ogists that you are important.

TO House for
Biggest Navy
Rear Admiral Advocates
New Program of Dread
$ noughts, Cruisers, Sub

Plane Carriers Included
Daniels Reports Sale of 152
Vessels, Only One Going

WASHINGTON, March 1.-Urging
naval construction which would give
the United States "the largest navy
in the world" Rear Admiral Charles
]. Badger recommended to the House
Naval Committee to-day that the next
annual naval appropriation bill carry
a new building program, authorizing
the building Of two dreadnoughts. one
battle cruiser, ten scout cruisers, four
destroyers, six submarines and other
small craft. The admiral did not esti-
mate the cost Of this program nor
say how long it would take to complete
the vessels.
Admiral Badgers views as to a large
navy were concurrcd in by other men,
bers Of the navy general board.
Capital ships, such as dreadnoughts
and battle cruisers, Admiral Badger
asserted, would remain the "backbone"
of the navy, with the tendency in
building constantly toward greater size.
In building the new program many
new features of construction, learned

Admiral Badger also asked that the
new program include two airplane car

struction Of the airplane carriers, he
said, was indispensable" if the Amer

Secretary Daniels informed the Sem
ate that in disposing of excess war
tonnage the navy had sold SO Far 1872
vessels, most of them small craft OF
practically no commercial value" Al
though no condition relative to foreign
ownership attached to the sales, he
said, only one OF the ships sold had
been placed under foreign flag The
largest ship disposed Of was 5000 tons
displacement. Prices ranged from
S150 to $5O1 900.
Sixty more ships are to be sold by
the navy, the Secretary said. and Cor

DR.. Arthur p. Hampton, doctor
without patients; Johnny Stokes, a
lawyer without clients, and "Stubs"
Masters, financier without money,
form triumvirate of poverty and in
genuity. In their search for sufficient
funds for supply Of wheat cakes
they stumble upon the plan Of taking"
a wedding announcement, for Hamp-
toms Uncle George, rich but reluctant,
may be expected to reward his nephew
only under the stimulus Of a marriage
ment that the three contrive Is, by the
force Of coincidence, the beginning of
trouble, for it names as Hampton's
bride very real Mary Jane Smith,
with whom Hampton has been earlier
smittcn but whose name he does not
know
When Mary Jane the real sprains
her ankle in front of Hnmpton'u of
flee, and when she has been installed
on the Doctors couch as his first
patient, Uncle George, stirred by the
wedding announcement, arrives to con-
gratulate and reward. There is an
awkward situation, but Uncle George
goes through the congratulations, and
Honolulu In the bridal suite will be
part of suitable reward.
By this same boat Mary Jane was
to have sailed with her aunt, Angelica
Burns, who happens to have been an
old flame of Uncle Georges, lost to
him years before by fare up Of his
temper. There had come prospect OF
reconciliation between the two. and
Uncle George was to have met his one
time sweetheart on the steamship All
goes we'll, despite rapid succession
Of uncomfortable moments for the still
unmarried doctor, until the ship is
reached, when Johnny Stokes unwit-
tingly betrays all.
Then Uncle Georges temper comes
to the fore, and a black cloud seems
about to settle down permanently over
the life of the young physician, when
he Is saved from the wrath by the
words of Angelica Burns, who reminds
Uncle George Of what temper did for
him once before and what it lest to
him. Uncle George forgives, and Mary
Jane suggests to Arthur Hampton
means whereby a check which had been
made out to Mary Jane Hampton need
not become worthless.
1t is an ancient theme, perhaps, but
the manner in which Douglas MacLean
as the ingenious doctor, and Doris Nav
as Mary Jane Smith, tell il adorns it
with new youth. In "The Count"
which is an old Chaplin film restored
to life, we have humor in terms Of pie,
and mayhem, and ali the familiar con-
trivances of slapstick 1t add nothing
to the comedy Of "Comedy Week." and.
coming after "Mary's Ankle" gives a
clear idea of how not to do it. The
music program includes such excellent
bits as the overture to Adams of 7
Were King" the intermezzo from Mas
cagni's "Cavalliera Rusticana,' played
as an organ solo by Firmin Swimmer,
and the Armore's song from De Koven's
"Robin Hood" sung by Emanuel List.
With the exception of the Chaplin film
it is an excellent bill.

Rescued, After Four Hours
i'm a Binding Snow, Greet
Experience as a Lark

HALIFAX, March 1.-sixty-four
passengers Of the Leyland liner
Bohemian, many of them women and
children, were brought to this port
to-day after spending four hours in
open boats after the ship struck the
rocks of Sambro Ledges. off Halifax
harbor, in a binding snowstorm. The
1870 men in the crew remained aboard
the vessel, which was believed to be
in no immediate danger.
Tho Bohemian, which left Boston
for Liverpool Saturday, struck about
2 o'clock this morning, and when the
passengers hurried on deck they were
ordered to dress warmly and prepare
to leave ship. Many picked up their
valuables and clothing, but in their
haste neglected to dress warmly, and
there was much suffering among the
small group as they huldled under
ship blankets in the open boats until
picked up by tugs from Halifax. Tea
was lowered from the ship to the
passengers in boats. They were taken
to hotels upon their arrival here.
Despite the discomforts in the cold
and snow the passengers were in a
merry mood upon their arrival in this
city and we're inclined to regard their
experience as a lark. The men said
the behavior Of the women was splen-
did, and all agreed there was no
panic.
A cargo Of cotton was being cast
into the sea tonight to Tighten the
Bohemian. No attempt was made dur
ing the day to haul the steamship off
the rocks, and the position Of the
craft tonight was unchanged.
The first word of the Bohemian's
plight came in a radio message to
c. II. Harvey of the marine depart
ment agency at $3.50 this morning
The government steamer Montcalm
and several tugs were ordered to the
sccne.

A.-The test of deductblity in the case
OF compensation payments is whether they
are reasonable and are in fact payments
purely for services. With respect to the
deductiblity of salaries, the Treasury De-
partment has ruled that in the case of n
corporation having few stockholders prac-
tically all of whom draw salaries, if such
salaries are based upon bear close rcla-
tionship to the stock holdings of the officers
or employees, such salaries, if in excess of
those ordinarily paid for similar services
are not paid wholly for services rendered
hut in part as q distribution Of earnings
upon its stock. Such salaries will be de-
ductible from the gross income of the cor
poration only to the extent that they do not
represent distribution of earnings. The
amount of compensation paid should not cx-
coed what is reasonable in all circumstances
In this connection the Treasury Department
has ruled that lit is in general just to as-
sumo that reasonable and true compensation
is only such amount as would ordinarily be
paid for like serv ces or by enterprises in
like circumstances"
