New York. - New Workers are deep
ly interested in the new Common
wealth Hotel on which construction Is
well under way on Broadway at 55th
street. Occupying the whole block be-
tween 55th and seth streets, Broadway
and Seventh avenue, this is to be the
greatest hotel in the world. With $500
guest rooms and the height that will
place its towers above everything in
the vicinity, the Commonwealth will
be one Of the seven wonder of the
American metropolis. Particularly
notable is the plan upon which the
hotel is being erected, which is on a
club basis, each member sharing in
the ownership. Today there are more
than $4,000 members and the number
Is rapidly increasing. The hotel is to
cost $4,000, 900, and at the rate prop
erty is increasing in value along
Broadway will be worth more than
$20,0O0,000 within five years. Appreci-
alton Of this fact is shown by the many
applications received for membership
in the club from those who understand
real estate values in New York. Men,
bers of the Hotel Commonwealth Club
will stay at the hotel, paying the usual
rate, on which they will receive a re-
bate of 20 per cent. In addition, all
buying done in the city can be through
the 200 stores affiliated with the Com
monwealth, all of which allow gener-
Gus rebates. Hundreds of Club men,
bers are daily obtaining rebates from
these stores, and it is estimated that
the aggregate monthly saving is well
over 100000. Hotel owners here are
keenly watching the new hotel and at
tribute the astonishing success Of such
a novel promotion to the untiring eff
forts Of w. ]. HoggsOn, who originated
the enterprise. Completed, the Com
monwealth Hotel, situated in the heart
of New York, will set new standard
of comfort, convenience and profit
making. All New York hotels are ha-
bitually oyer-crowded, and it is ey-
pected that the Commonwealth, with
its thousands of members, will be the
most popular hostelry nthe city.

RED CROSS GIVES
AID TO POISONED
AT STATE FAIR
American Red Cross Gives First Aid
To Those Poisoned at Co.
lumbus Fair.

columbus, ONO. - On the state fair
grounds here, where its great national
convention will be held October 4-S,
the American Red Cross during the
annual agricultural exposition the
week of August 30. performed a serv-
ice that brought forth unstinted praise
from Governor Harry L. Davis and
State Director of Agriculture L. ].
Taber when close to $50 persons
stricken with ptomaine poisoning at
a luncheon on the fair grounds were
given first aid treatment at the Red
Cross mergency hospital.
That many lives were saved by the
promptness with which first aid treat
men was given at the Red Cross tent
wa sthe opinion of state officials who
personally thanked the Red Cross
workers for their heroic service.
Scenes reminiscent of war days over
seas were enacted at the Red Cross
emergency hospital shortly after the
first of the ptomaine sufferers were
rushed there from the luncheon given
by the International Livestock Eyposi-
ton to more than 200 livestock own
ers, exhibitors and employees.
Red Cross workers, volunteer ply
sicians and nurses and Boy Scouts CO.
operated in splendid manner, as a
result of which practically everyone
of the poison sufferers had been de-
clared out of danger by the morning
following the luncheon.
Although the emergency hospital
equipment was taxed to the limit, the
IL Deeds being continually in use for
hours after the first victim was
brought to the tent, there was not a
bit of disordrr or confusion, so thor
ouughtly were the Red Cross and
other workers prepared for such an
emergency. When the four ambu-
lances loaned during the fair by local
citizens were found inadequate-other
cars were pressed INTO service to car
ry the scores Of sufferers to a Column
bus hospital
State guardmen drew a Gordon
around the Red Cross hospital and
kept clear the route of the ambulances
in order to expedite handling the rush
of first aid cases which was the great
est ever experienced at the Ohio fair
grounds, and probably never exceeded
at any other similar gathering in the
countrq.
Drs. W. d. Hoyer, John E. Monger,
and ]. NJ. Griffith, who we're constantly
on duty until the last of the poisoning
victims had been cared for, praised
the service of Miss Margaret Steel, a
Red Cross nurse who was overseas
during the war, and the four volunteer
workers, Mrs. J. L. Baker, Mrs T. J.
Davis, Mrs. H. S. Shotwell and Mrs. J.
G.. Ray.
at was wonderful demonstration
of Red Cross service and efficiency and
I want to personally thank all of you
Red Cross workers, woctors, nurses,
Boy Scouts an dothers," said Governor
Davis. State Director of Agriculture
Taber said: 1--WE always have appreci-
ated the Red Cross, but our hats are
certainly off to them tonight. Its rep
resentatives performed a Herculean
task in a most admirable manner"
Just few steps from this scene is the
Coliseum in which the sessions of the
Red Cross convention will be held
next month.

SINGLE WOMEN PROTEST
JOBS OF Welded ONES

Topeka, Kas. - There Is row on in
Kansas between single women and
married women who work. Miss Lima
Bresette, head Of the women's welfare
division Of the Kansas Industrial court
is getting many letter from young girls
and unmarried women protesting
against married women"with visible
means of support continuing to work
and taking the jobs away from the
young girls and in some cases from
men. Some letters are quite bitter.
Some ofthe writer's claim the married
women are cutting the wages of the
single girls.
OF the $4,000 women working in
Kansas two-fifths are married or have
been. Records early this year showed
1872 per cent of all the women working
in the state were married and II per
cent, were widowed or divorced, d.
vorced meaning those deserted or sep
arated as well as legally divorced. A
year previous at least onelhalf the
total women employed were married
women. The railroads forced women
who were married and were not actu'
ally supporting dependents to retire
thus removing a large number of mar
ried women from jobs,
The letters received by Miss Bres
eett show the single women believe nc
married woman should be allowed tc
work. Many of tn single women would
make marriage a bar to all industrial
activities of women if they could
They are writing the Industrial
court about it to see if there isn't somt
law to prevent married women from
working. But there isn't any such law
an dthe court cannot make any ordel
which woul daffect it. The individual
employer is the only one who car
change the situation.
at is hardly fair to the working
girls to have some young married
woman come in and underbid them fol
their jobs" Miss Bresette said, "W'
know this does happen with some FIRE
quency. There are many girls who
marry young men who are travelling
good deal. They have little to do ant
would rather work than be Lonesome
around the house. They don't meet
the money, and they frequently do g
into offices and offer to work for les
than the unmarried girls are getting
This has a tendency also to cut doW'
the general average of wages. whicl
is unfair as most of the women work
ers are working to actually earn mon
ey for themselves or dependents.
But there are large number o
married women working whose nus
bands are unable to support them II
they desire, or who have dependent
in their own or their husbands fam
lilies, which make it necessary 70
them to work.
There is large percentage of mar
ried women working who have Grip
pied or invalid husbands. 1t would b
unfair to attempt to make genera
prohibition against married wome
working, as there are many who ar
as deserving of employment as sinel
girls.
an the recent survey of women i
industry in Kansas, It was found tina
married women actually exceed tn
number Of single women In the mea
and poultry packing industries an
that one-third of the laundry worker
are married women. The restaurant
have a majority of divorced or widow
ed women over single or marie
women workers"

There have been cruel things done
before this in New York politics. But
the latest gesture of the anti-Tam-
many Democratic ticket leaders seems
to be rubbing 1t in bit more harshly
than usual. They invited Charles F.
Murphy Big Boss Of Tammany, to at
tend his own funeral procession. 1t
was one detail of the James ]. Hines
Committee parade staged the other
day, and Mr.. Hines himself wrote a
considerate little not to Mr.. Murphy
explaining to him the purpose of ask
ing him to come and watch - from the
sidelines the large black automobile
hearse, on which rested casket, sup
posed to contain Mr.. Murphy's political
remains. The women of the anti-Mur-
ply group Of Democrats marched IN
that particular part of the parade
close to the hearse, so as not to embar.
rass any of the men marchers who
might be holding city jobs at the pres
ent time.

OF
income TAXES
To Receive Checks in Cor
rection of Errors Here
after
NO NECESSITY TO
FILE REFUND CLAIM

The following statement was is
sued today by the Collector of In
ternal Revenue II. L. Graham, Of
the District of Delaware:
Important changes in income
tax procedure. directed by Commis-
sioner David II. Blair, are embodied
In a treasury decision effective De-
cember /, which provides for the
prompt adjustment of claims for
refund and abatement Of Federal
taxes. Heretofore when an over
assessment or overpayment was dis
closed by the audit of an income
tax return. the taxpayer was i'm
vited to fle claim for the abate-
ment of tho overassessment or the
refund of the overpayment. When
received the claim was registered
and filed away until reached in due
course for consideration. Because
OF the large number OF such claims
filed. delay in adjustment necessarily
resulted.
After December 16, haxpayiers
will not be advised of their privilege
of filing a claim for the refund of
taxes which have been paid in ex-
cess of amounts legally due, but in
stead will receive a certificate of
overassessment and a check in cor
recton Of the error, or If an assess
ment is outstanding against the tax
payer for income or excess profits
tax. the overpayment will be applied
as a credit against the assessment,
and the balance Immediately re-
funded. This will be of distinct
financial advantage to both the tax
payer and the government. 1t will
do away with the necessity for the
taxpayer filing a claim for refund,
and will greatly reduce the amount
of work to be done by the bureau
in the adjustment Of claims.
Taxpayers may continue to file
claims for abatement and refund,
but il IS expected that tho number
of such claims filed each month
win be greatly reduced. Efforts are
being made by the bureau to ad-
just within six months all claims
now pending and thereafter to keep
the work current. The Revenue Act
of 1921 provides that under certain
conditions interest shall be paid
upon claims from the date of the
payment Of the tax to the date of the
allowance Of the claim. The new
procedure should greatly reduce the
