Deprecated Stock
Allowances Urged
I'm Income Taxation
Amendment Providing for
Reduction in Values Will
BE Presented 10 Congress
by Merchants Association

Amendment of the Federal income
tax law to make allowances to business
men for dcpreciationN in the value of
their stock is urged upon Congress in a
resolution adopted by the Merchants
Association of New York, made public
yesterday.
The resolution was adopted after q
report by a committee consisting of
Henry Ives Cobb, r. H. Montgomery,
George c. Pratt, Professor E. r. A.
Seligman and Laurence A. Tanner. 1t
follows:
"Whereas, The Federal revenue act
of 1919 recognized that, in finally de-
tcrmining the amount of business prof
its or income subject to taxation for
the year 1918, allowance should be made
for losses due to depreciation IN inven-
tory values; and made due provision
therefor, but omitted to make similar
provision for subsequent years; and
"Whereas, During the current year
there has been heavy and general de-
probation in the inventory values Of
merchandise and other assets as OF De-
cember 81, 1919 (upon which inven-
tory values the amount of taxable in
come or profits were bascd), whereby
the true profits of the year 1919, prop
erly subject to taxation, have been in
many cases greatly reduced; and
"Whcreas, Unless remedial legisla-
tion is promptly enacted. many will be
compelled to pay taxes for 1919 on the
basis of inflated fictitious paper profits
far in excess of the actual profits of
that year;
"Rcsolved, That The Merchants As
sociation Of New York urges upon Con-
gress the immediate amendment Of the
Revenue Act of February "a, 1919, in
such form as to make adequate provi-
sion for abatement for losses arising
from depreciation in inventory values
as applied to tax returns for the year
1919 and subsequent years"

Bedtime Stories
The Real Chatterer
BY Thornton w. Burgess
Some good folks aUant tho 1corid to knoU
While good bat hate to shoao ii.
-Chatterer the Red Squirrel.
BY Thornton w. Burgess

Chatterer the Red Squirrel is noisy,
q mischief ief-maker, quick tempered, de-
lights to make trouble for others and
at times seems to have no good in him.
He seems to delight in appearing to be
as bad as possible. But, like good
many other people, he has more good
than bad in him. He simply doesn t
like to show it. You Will find many
people are like that.
AS he watched the hunter with the
terrible gun slowly walking toward the
hickory tree where Rusty the Fox
Squirrel probably was busy laying in
supplies for the winter, Chattercr lis
tened to the tempter and kept his
tongue still. He knew that il that
hunter should find Rusty there it would
probably be the end Of Rusty, and he
tried to make himself believe that he
make himself believe that he hated
Rusty and would be glad if he were
killed
So he kept his tongue still and
watched the hunter. In a few minutes
the hunter would be where he could
see that hickory tree. Chatterer could
stand it no longer. Rusty might not
be there, but if he was there something
dreadful would surely happen Chat
terer climbed up the nearest tree and
then hurried through the tree tops af-
ter that hunter and all the time his
tongue was going as fast as he could
make it go
Hunter. Hunter!" he shrieked.
"ElIy,erybo.d,y hidel Hunter with ter
Now, everybody in the Green Forest
knows that warning cry of Chatterers
Even the hunter knew what it meant
though Of course he didn't understand
what Chatterer was saying
Contound that little red mischief
maker" growled the hunter. "He is
making such a noise he'll scare every
thing within hearing"
by this time Chatterer had almost
caught up with the hunter and was in
thick hemlock tree, taking great care
to keep the trunk of the tree between
himself and the hunter. He caught a
glimpse Of Rusty the Fox Squirrel run
ming for n big tree.
Run, Rusty. run" he shrieked
Run for your life! The hunter is right
mere below me! Run. Run."
Rusty did run. The hunter saw him

Passengers Exhausted
On Cale~Tossed Liners
Atlantic Weather Called Rough
est i'll Years; Arriving Greeks
Predict Kings Return

Almost all steamships, coastwisc as
we'll as trareatlantic. that arrived here
yesterday rerorted having encountered
exceptionally heavY weather on the run
from their r'epcctivc ports.
The little Red d steamship Caracas,
from NenezuSia and Porto Rico, fought
her way northward through heavy cross
seas which she encountered soon after
she departed from San Juan. Many Of
her passengers, exhausted by seasick-
ness, went to bed when the vessel came
into Quarantine last night, preferring
to rest and come ashore this morning.
The Greek steamship Megali Hclas
from the Piraus, which ploughed d
through gales and high seas for six-
teen days, made port last night with
2,l60 weary passengers. When she
anchored off Quarantine fleet of small
boats laden with friends and relatives
of the returning travellers swarmed
around the vessel and had to be driven
sway by pol.oe launch.
The majority Of the vessels passen-
gers were weakened by seasickncss and
the visitors from off shore received lit
tie attention from those they had jour
neyed down the bay to greet. Captain
had been a sailor for thirty years, and
in all that time had never found the
Atlantic as rough as it was on the voy-
age just ended
1t wes the belief OF many aboard
that Constantine will soon be restored
to power in Greece

Americans Warned Not to
Land at Colombian Port

day from Central America. on The
United Fruit steamship Carrillo. re-
ported that the people of Colombia.
especially in the port Of Cartagena.
were displaying an unfriendly attitude
toward Americans.
MARTIN l.. Petry, a newspaper CORE
spondent Of this city, said he and the
rest of the passengers were advised
tain Livingston, of the Carrillo, to re-
main aboard ship when the vessel en-
tered the port
"The consul sent word to our YES
sell" said Mr.. Petry, "cautioning us
against coming ashore. There had
been fiesta and general celebration
going on for two days and the festivi-
ties were in full blast when we got
there. The Colombians were celebrat
ing the anniversary of their freedom
from the yoke of Spain and had taken
occasion also to rejoice because the
United States cruiser Cleveland had
gone ashore in the harbor.
"She entered the port with a na-
service and under his guidance she
went ashore. The people seemed to
ascribe the grounding to the deliberate
act of the Colombian navigator and
they hailed him as hero.
My wife and | went ashore, never
theless, and talked with some natives
who had come down to the waterfront
to sell souvenirs and later we went
up into the city. The merchants and
business people whose shops we visited
told us frankly that the people of
Cartagena were glad the Cleveland had
run ashore
The Carrillo brought $3.50 900 in gold
consigned to banks in this city.

A mild winter and an early spring
for 1920-'2l are predicted in the annual

yesterday by the New York Central

Not a Prodigy, Says Hardy
But Boy Columbia Student Ad-
mits Studying II Languages

Edward Roche Hardy, jr., the
tive We year-old Columbia freshman
spoke last night at an entertainment
Tor the benefit of the First Magyar
Pres byterian Church at 233 East 1i6th
street, whose pastor. the Rev. L. Har-
Sanyl, studied at the University Of
Berlin at the same time as the bows
mother His brief talk was prompted
by remarks of the Clergyman. who
introduced him as the boy prodigy of
Columbia.
81 am not the boy prodigy Of Colum-
o'a, the speaker explained, because
boy only nine years old was ad-
mltted to the university"
How many languages have YOU
studied?' asked the clergyman.
That question is most appropriate
lly phrased.' said the boy. "In answer.
Wall say that | have studied twelve
languages and have forgotten most
Of them"
That ended his address.

and just as Rusty sprang to the trunk
of big tree and whisked around to the
other side the terrible gun roared. and
Chatterer saw bits OF bark hv from
that tree. Then, with a feeling of Won
derful relief, he saw what the hunter
failed to see, Z ,sty slip into a hole
high up in the trunk of that tree. But
ms quick eyes saw, too, something that
troubled him. 1t seemed to him that
Rusty had moved slowly as if hurt.
"l'm glad I warned him. I'm clad
warned him!" he kept saying over and
over to himself. I'm glad | warned
him, but l wish l had warned him soon
CT. do hope he isn't much hurt" That
was the real Chatterer. 1t wasn't the
real Chatterer at all who had listened
to the tempter and tried to believe he
hoped the hunter would get Rusty
Then how Chatterer did scold that
hunter! My. my, my, how he did scold,
1t is pity that hunter didn't under
stand what Chatterer was saving. II
certainly would have made his ears
burn.

Baby Is King"

l have a little fable, on this
wise: The birds all come to-
gether to elect king. a
venerable old owl was the
Chairman. There was great
rustling Of wings and much
chatterlng among the birds. At
last a longlegged crane got up
and offered this resolution:
Resolved, that the bird which
can fly the highest shall be our
King"
That was unanimously carried.
Then all the birds, the eagles,
buzzards, hawks, llulnlningbirds,
bullflnches, blackbirds and the
rest flashed up into the sky.
One by one they became tired
aud dropped down again, but
there was one that was not tired.
That WAS the Eagle. iIc Acw
higher than all the others. lie
stopped, balanced himself ir the
sun and said:
Ladies and Gentlemen, I am
your King
Just then, 10 and behold, a
little wren who had nestled on
the back of the eagle among his
big feathers and had free pas
sage all the way, a regular little
dead-head, sprang up and looked
down on the eagle and laughed
at him and said
mot bit of it, Sir! l am
above you and l am King"
DR.. Scudder wound up by say
ing our Babies are always Kings.
Out of some sober thinking
backward sixty years, VIC recall
the eagles Of scholarship, wealth
and opportunity in the new
American Republic, who's
fathers flew high to lift up and

vent expectation that they would
make America the best country
