GOVERNMENT WINS SUIT
Will Collect Income Taxes on Be-
 quests of S960,000

New York. August 6.-The govern ment today won its suit to collect Income taxes on bequests of $96o,000 left by the late Alfred q. Vanderbilt to his, brother, Reginald c. Wander bilt, Frederick L. Merriam, and Henry B. Anderson. Judge Leonard Hand overruled demurrers by .he three defendants which questioned whether '1egacies so given are tx- empt as bequests or are liable to income tax as compensation for per- sonal service"
 The judges ruling said it seemed to him to be no question whatever that these legacies in part were com pensations for personal services and granted judgment to the govern ment.
 Alfred G. Vanderbilt was drowned when the Lusitania was sunk in May, 1915.

PARTL0W MAKES
 A TALK ID R0TES
Goes Into Details In An Ad- dress to Show How State
 Institution Is Run

Tuscaloosa.t August (Special,)- pr. W. D. Partlow. superintendent of the Alabama Insane hospitals, made an interesting address yester- day before the Rotary club, his sub ject dealing with the Insane hospitals and the Home for Feeble Minded now under erection in this city,
 There is considerable confusion as to the distinction between the Insane hospital and the Home for Feeble minded" said Dr. Partlow. "The first was established for the care of per- sons who have had normal minds, but who have become diseased mentally: the second is for those who have been mentally deficient from birth due to various causes"
 Among other facts. figures were presented showing that inmates of the Insane hospital numbered ,692, and the hospital at Mount Vernon for negroes S37. Both institutions re- ceived a total of nearly 1000 each year, of which about 700 are white.
 Since his connection with the hos pital 11.399 patients have been re- ceived in the institution. of which number 1900 died and 5000 were re- ceived,. treated and allowed to leave who have not returned.
 The maintenance cost of s a week for each patient is allowed. which in- cluded the upkeep of all properties and upkeep of equipment In nearly all other states a maintenance of $25 a month is allowed and additional appropriations of si5o,000 to $500,000 are made. The monthly pay roll amounts to s16.00o in addition to sup plies. About $370.000 will be spent in improvements and new buildings during the next few months. Tho greater part of this is at present be- ing used in the building of the Home for Feeble Minded on the Birming- ham road.
 Dr. Partlow never misses an oppor- tunity to put before the public the exact status of the affairs of the In- Ane hospitals in order to do his best
 the comfort and to cure the un- fdnunates in his care.

POLAND TO PROVIDE
FOR CHILDREN'S CARE
(By Associated rress. 4,

LONDON. Jan. 4.-Poland's new
constitution probably will contain a
provision for care Of children by the
state which will make it unique, in
opinion of officials here who have seen
the draft. The article which now is
before the Polish Diet reads:
Each child deprived of parental
care or who is neglected morally OF
materially, has the right to secure care
and aid from the state. The sphere
OF the states duties in this capacity
will be defined separately by laws
which will foresee as well the protec
ton of mothers who may require aid
before the birth of the child and the
protection OF the child in infancy"
AS far as known here no constitu
tion in the world includes such a pro
vision.

started in China by Or. Yen Hui
ching (W. W. Yen), Minister of For
eign Affairs.
In an address to the most influen-
tial people in Peking. the Minister

as one might, between 20,O00,0O0 and
36,000.000 people faced starvation.

time of greatest suffering was rapidly
approaching.
He referred to the many committees
and societies already engaged in re-
lief work, of the funds being raised in
America and in England and Japan,
and expressed the opinion that these
nations which had given generousl. .
should be shown that China too is
working industriously to relieve the
suffering populace.

that Pekin alone could be made to
produce from 100000 to 100000 1t

ARGENTINE COTTON
DOUBLES ITS OUTPUT

Buenos Aires, March 1S.--The cot
ton industry in northern Argentina
has quadrupled in Importance in three
years as Il result of aid given to tn
farmers by the state railways. In
1888 approximately 10000 acres
We're planted while the l920-21 crop
embraces an areO of about 80 900
acres.
The crop yield is from 200 to l.600
pounds per acre, according to stats
ties published by the railroads, one
third of which is fiber and the rest
seed. A gin and a cotton seed mill
have been constructed to take care
of the crop.
The great problem of the Argen-
tine cotton farmer is lack of labor
for picking the crop! Attempts have
been made to use machinery for this.
hut these have been reported as be
ing only partially successful.
