determined largely by circumstances
surrounding each individual case. The

A head of a family is defined by
treasury regulation as "a person who
actually supports and maintains one
or more individuals who are closely
connected with him by blood relation
ship, relationship by marriage, or by
adoption, and whose right to exercise
family control and provide for these
dependents is based upon some moral
or legal obligation" A single person

sole support of relatives living in the
same house with him and If he exer-
cises control of household affairs. The
words sole support" are used in the
sense that there is no other person to
whom the dependents may look for
support. Income from other sources,
such as interest on bonds, stock divt
dends, pensions, etc, If meagre enough
still to leave the recipient dependent,

included in the return of the head OF

GLASS PLEADS
TO AID EUROPE

WASHINGTON, Jan. 30-Picturing a
threatens the stability of all government
in western Europe, Secretary OF Treasury
Glass made an appeal yesterday to the
ways and means committee for an appro-
priation Of S125, OOO, 900 for food relief for
these countries.
This is a reduction of 100000 from
the original estimate said the secre-
tary. 1T is based on estimates made by
Herbert Hoover, who says that smaller
sum, such as $50OOO,O0O as suggested,
would be hurtful and menace instead
of helpful.
ut would not be sufficient to relieve
the general starvation and would render
those not fed more desperate and en-
courage them in acts to overthrow all
government. One purpose of this relief
is to allay resentment"
IF that is the purpose, why demand
securities, why not give the money out
right" demanded Representative Garner
Of Texas.
"That would not be good policy" said
Secretary Glass. Il might say that if a
comprehensive plan of relief is worked
out by us, Great Britain, France, Canada
and Argentina have notified us of a
willingness to help. Argentina will give
S2,00O,0O0; Canada possibly S10,O00.OOO;
England the necessary tonnage our plan
of help does not contemplate a drain
on the treasury The grain corporation
has the money"
Secretary Glass said that late reports
from Austria stated that women and
children were dying by the thousands
from lack of food.

CURE FOR INFLUENZA
SAY PUBLIC AUTHORITIES

1t has been observed that persons who
are weak and rundown are more sus-
ceptible to the disease than persons who
are in robust health, and If you are in
generally run down condition and be.
low normal weight this warning should
be needed promptly. II you are In this
condition nothing on earth will build
you up and strengthen you like Tanlac,
which contains the most powerful tonic
properties known to science. As re-
constructive tonic and system builder it
is without an equal and contains the
very elements needed by the system to
give you fighting strength to ward off
disease germs. This is a statement Of
fact and is supported by the recognized
authorities and reference works, includ-
ing the U. S. Dispensatory, the Encyclo-
pedia Britannica, and also by standard
text books used in the schools Of medi-
cine. This statement is further proven
by the fact that millions of persons who
have actually taken Tanlac have testi-
fed to its extra ordinary merit as a medi-
cine and by the fact Tanlac is today
having the largest sale of any tonic on
the American market.
Tanlac is also an ideal strengthening
tonic for persons who are suffering from
the after-effects of colds, influenza,
ordinary Grippe, and bronchial troubles,
and hundreds of thousands are using 1t
daily with most gratifying results.

NEW GIVEN 10
YEARS TO LIFE
FOR MURDER
Reputed Son of Indiana Sen
ator Gave Self Up After
Crime.

LOS ANGELES, Cal, Jan. 30
ator Harry S. New of Indiana, yes
terday was sentenced to from ten
years to life Imprisonment for the
murder of his sweetheart, Freda
Lesser.
The court overruled a motion for
new trial. News attorneys gave notice
of appeal and obtained a stay Of execu-
ton until next Tuesday.
News expression did not change. When
the proceedings were over he turned and
followed the bailiff out of the court as
if nothing had happened. Neither his
MOTHER nor his sister was with him
when sentence was passed.
The court in sending New TO San
Quentin entirely ignored the note which
the jury sent along with the verdict ask
ing that New be sent to an insane
asylum for observation before being
ordered to San Quentin.
The scene when New was sentenced
was not dramatic. Judge Craig made
a formal statement overruling the mo-
ton for a new trial and called to the
defendant to arise.
With his attorneys and the bailiH
standing beside him, New arose and
looked squarely at the judge.
Judge Craig recited, according to the
legal formailities, the steps which had
been taken in the case and simply pro-
nounced that New was sentenced Ito the
term prescribed by law for such an Of

He said Miss Lesser was about to be-
come the mother Of his child and that he
killed her because she refused to marry
him.

Of the crime. She sped westward as soon

News trial, which lasted several weeks,
attracted national interest because of the
defendants contention that he was Sen
ator News son.
Counsel for the young man based their
case entirely upon the theory that New
was insane because his love had been
spurned by the woman whom he loved.
The jury was out about two full days
before verdict was reached.
