PLAY FOR YOUNG AND OLD

ITO THE subject of children's play :
i grounds, on which she is recog-
nized authority, Sophia l.. Ross, the
new chief Of the Bureau of Recreation,
contributes a suggestive idea. Her plea
is not only for more recreation centers,
but also for enhancing their appeal to
. adults. Both parents and children,
she declares, SHOULD gather together
on Fairgrounds.
b This does not mean. of course, that
the oldsters should feel compelled to
swing, seesaw and jump rope. The
place where these diversions are patron
lied ought, however, TO be made sufti :
j ciently attractive to interest parents
through other merits. 1t is overspecial-
ization which has resulted often in a
wholly unnecessary separation of fami
lies and children in the precious hours
of ease.
II is said that the new plan of com
bining park and playground features in
! municipal breathing places has not
( been tried in any other city, so Phila
delphia has the opportunity to be q
pioneer in this rational reform.

THE END OF ouD POINT

TNHE destruction of the Chamberlin at
- Old Point Comfort carries the famil :
iar warning against the monumental
frame hotels which were formerly so
characteristic Of American resorts.
But the flames which lighted up spa =
cious Hampton Roads on Sunday eve
ming did something more than consume
a pretentious hostelry. In all prob
ability the confiagration meant the ex :
tinction of one of the most historic
recreative stations" in the country.
The gabled Chamberlin. supplanting
the even more tradition encrusted
Hygeia, was erected in the nineties on
leased government property Immediately
adjacent to Fortress Monroe. For several
years the War Department has been on
the verge of razing the hotel to provide
for necessary expansion of the army
post. Such extension is now said to be
inevitable.
"Old Point will then be n memory
but one, however, with a secure place
in our social history.

PRESIDENT YIELDS POINT

TN HIS latest note on Adriatic affairs
l. there is one concession made by the
Pr2Si dent which may go far toward ad
vaN@lng a solution of the vexPd problem.
The January settlement" which Mr..
Wilson regarded as distinct repudi
alton of Il plan in the formulation of
which the American Government par
1icipatcd in December threw overheard
the proposal to erect a buffer state in
cluding Fiume, between Italy and Jugo-
b Slavia. Mr.. Wilson now Confesses to
realizing that neither Italy nor the
Serb Croat Slovene monarchy was in
sympathy with such an arrangement.
The President therefore urges that the
't'corpus separatuS' be confined simply
to the town Of Fiume under the sover
eighty of the League Of Nations without
either Italian or Jugo Slav control.
Premier Nitt has already approved
Of the organization OF Fiume as free
city. 1t is on the subject of control
upon which his government and that of
the United States now differ. But this
disparity of opinion is certainly far less
wide than iu the days when the Italian
delegation left the Peace Conference be .
cause the complete ccssion of Fiume was
not granted.

still is, the edge has asSurPdly been re-
moved from several points Of dispute

by their very rigor put vim into you and

CAPITAL AND INCOME

TNhAT two opinions can be held on the
- nature of stock dividend is evident
from the fact that the Supreme Court
oy vote Of five to four decided that
such dividend is not income within the
meaning OF the sixteenth amendment to
the constitution, and is therefore not
subject to the income tax.
For the benefit of the uninitiatcd, it
may be explained that a stock dividend
Is distribution by a corporation of
new shares of stock to the shareholders
IN proportion to their holdings. Each
new share issued is certificate en- =
titling the holder to proportionate
share in the distribution of the earn
ings or income of the corporation. The
cash dividends paid on the new. as well
as the old shares are income.
The income tax law taxed stock divi
dends as we'll as dividends on stock as
income and the Internal Revenue De-
partment has collected many million
dollars under the law. All the tax col
lected on stock dividends must now be
refunded.
AS four of the justices of the Supreme
Court agree with the Congress that
passed the law, there need be no con
demnation Of the legislators for their
mistake. But there will be no excust
in the future for similar mistakes. Thc
decision of the majority of the court il
final, and the view of the lawyers fol
the corporations is upheld.
The Board of City Trusts in charg,
of the Girard estate has been con
fronted by a similar difficulty in deal
ing with the royalties on the coal land
belonging to the estate. There ha
been disposition in some quarters t
regard the royalties as income. Bu
the trustees have consistently regarde,
the royalties as annual installments oil
the capital of the estate. When tn
coal is all taken from the land tina
which is left will be of little value. 1t
worth is in the coal. If the propert.
is to be conserved for the public goot
the royalties must be reinvested in or
der that the capital may not be ex
hausted.
The Supreme Court decision is base,
on the same kind of distinction be
tween capital and income.
