ONE SPOT WHERE

Czecho- Slova1ia Holds This Distinc-
tion For Central Europe
There Are Plenty of

While on the subject Of forbidden
fruit, writes Kenneth l.. Roberts in
the Saturday Evening Post. it should
be recorded that Czecho-Slovakia is
the only central European country
whose beer tastes at all like beer.

JACK JOHNSON
ARRIVES TODAY
Due in Chicago Court, Where He
Will Ask New Trial and
Request Release on
Bond,

UNITED Press Leased Wire Seryice.l
CHICAGO, July 26.--Jack Johnson,
former heavyweight champion of the
world. after an absence of seven
years, was due to return to Chicago
today for final disposition OF the
white slave charge against him.
Johnson planned to demand new
trial. He expected to attempt to Sc
cure bond. District Attorney Charles
f. Clyne expected to arrange for him
to be resentenced Immediately.
Johnson is under sentence of one
year in prison for violation of the
Mann act
Hundreds Of negroes were disap.
pointed yesterday when Jacks train
arrived here without him. Johnson
was taken off at Joliet and detained
there until today. He will complete
the trip by auto.
Johnson's white wife, accompanied
by a Mexican hairless, dog, arrived
yesterday, but was not recognized by
the crowd awaiting the negro.
In Jail In Joliet.
CHICAGO, Jly 26.--Jack Johnson's
first swing in his sparring for free
dom was blocked here today.
The negro pugilist's application to
Federal Judge Alschler for bail was
turned down on the grounds that the
matter should have gone before Judge
Carpenter, now in hospital here.
Carpenter originally sentenced john
son for violation of the Mann act.
Thomas Carey, millionaire brick
man, appeared with Johnson's attor-
ney in the first effort to free the negro.
Carey said he met Johnson at the I'll
Jana races last year, became interest
ed in the man and promised to go bail
for him. Carey's party expected to
visit Judge Carpenters hospital today
to see if the jurist could not stand a .
trip to the court room. At the least,
they hoped to get his permission to
have Judge Alschuler hear the appli-
cation.
Meanwhile Johnson remained in the
county Jail at Joliet, III.
The black belt of Chicago, highly
excited at the prospect of their hero's
return, seethed today with prepara-
tons for his reception. It was ex-
pected here that johnson will be at
liberty shortly.

It's traffic and then more traffic,
Especially automobiles across the
Keokuk and Hamilton bridge every
day, with business UP to normal and

John III. Cole said this morning.
AS usual, Sundays are the biggest
days for traffic, particularly when
there is some special attraction on
either side Of the river to which
people go. Even on week days, there
are small cars crowded full to he
brim with passengers and there are
in them and also professions of new
automobiles being driven through to
some salesman. 1t reminds one, the
superintendent said, of the old gentle
man from the small town who was
riding in the city on surface car.
He kept looking around each timo
another car passed him and finally
said to his companion, Where arc
they all going?"
Wagons and buggies or any sort
of vehicles for horses are conspicuous

have not only one automobile but
several, and sometimes one man will
have his machines lined up in front
of the toll house two or three at a.
time, with one or two members of his
family in each car. "Illinoisans come
to Keokuk when they want to buy a
spool of thread" a passerby remarked
today.
AS for expense, most people don't
think about expense when they're
driving a car across the bridge. Per-
sons who used to hang around one
of the lamp posts here at the bridge
waiting for someone to come along
in horse and buggy or car and take
them across, to keep from having
to pay five cents bridge toll them
selves, will now make several trips
across day in their machines and
think nothing Of it.
Autos Get Fair Trade.
Automobiles are hurting the cleo
trio and railroad business, too,
especially at fair time in the nearby
towns. In the old days, extra coaches
were hooked on for the big celebra,
lions in neighboring villages and
everyone was glad to find place in
them somewhere to ride, but now no
extra coaches are needed for in Iowa
every fifth person in the state has
an automobile, and most of them go
to the fair in their car, and take
some of their neighbors with them.
And automobiles are practically as
plentiful in Illinois. and it is the
bountiful supply of them which makes
traffic across the Keokuk and Hamil-
ton bridge SO important an industry.
Residents all over Hancock county
and even as far east as Bushnell pre-
fer to come to Keokuk in their cars
to do their shopping, when they can
start when they please, stay as long
as they like, and do it cheaper than
they would if they were to depend
on the railroad for their accommoda-
lions. There are several reasons for
the heavy traffic across the local
bridge and the popularity of the auto
mobile is one of them.

PREVENTION AND CURE

These are two actual accomplish
ments OF the Salvation Army In its
humanitarian service throughout
Washington and Idaho. These re-
suits are brought about, not in hap
hazard work among the people, but
through two established institutions
one seeking to prevent. the other
bringing about permanent cure.
The work Of prevention and cure.
while extending to all classes OF
people in need OF relief. is confined
principally to girls. The prevention
phase OF Savation Army service may
be illustrated in the activities OF the
Hostel House in Tacoma, an institu-
ton which provides a safe and com

How the cure is effected is dem

Income Tax Facts
You Should Know

Numerous inquiries are received
by collectors of internal revenue
concerning the income tax in its re-
lation to the combined net income OF
husband and wife. Occasionally
these questions indicate that there
is in the mind of the taxpayer the
impression that income received by
the husband IL turned over to the
wife may be regarded as a gift and
therefore is not taxable. Such. how
ever, is not the case. II the COM
bined income of husband and wife
for the year 1919 equaled or exceed
ed $4,000, a return must be filed on
or before March Is, 1920. The COM
bined net income OF husband and
wife in excess of $4,000 is taxable.
The law provides also that the in
come Of minor dependent children
must be included in the return Of the
parent.
For example, a husbands net in
come for 1919 was $1,000. His wife.
employed as a seamstress, received
from such work a net income of
$500. Two minor sons. dependent
upon their parents. each received
$500 as messengers. The total fam
lily income was s2.7e0, from which
may bG ueuuClcu the pcTSOudl
emption of $4,000 plus 5000 for each
dependent son. leaving a taxable in
come Of S309. on which. at the nor
NAL rate of per cent, the tax is slc.
Where the combined income OF
husband and wife is $4,000 or less
the wife's return may be included
in that of her husband. Where the
combined income exceeds $4,000.
separate returns are reduired for the
purpose of computing the surtaN.
which applies only to incomes in
excess of that amount.
The following will serve as an
ILLUSTRATION Of the combined tax on
husband and wife: The net income
of husband for 1919 was $1,000 and
that of his wife $4,000. From the
husbands income may be deducted
the personal exemption OF $4,000.
On the first $4,000, at the normal
rate of 4 per cent, the tax Is $3.50.
On the remaining $.0o0 at the nor
NAL rate OF per cent, the tax is
$50, making the total normal tax Of
the husband $40. In addition he
pays a surtax of 1 per cent on the
amount of his net income between
5000 and 5000, amounting to so.
and 2 per cent on the amount OF
his net income between $4,000 and
$1,000, amounting to $40, making a
total normal and surtax of $2T0.
The wife can claim no personal eS-
emption, and her entire income OF
$4,000 is taxed at the rate of 4 per
cent. being less than $4,000. The
combined income Of husband and
wife on an aggregate income Of
$1,000 is $3.50.
