Touch Not These Fees.

Boston's Internal Revenue Collector
spoke without what In the Senote Is
nicely referred to as due deliberation
when he ruled that clergymen's fees
are taxable. Hero Is a challenge sure
to be surprisingly answered, for the
overhasty official will be met by OBJ
jections voiced not by clergymen but
by their wives.
The Collector should have been in
formed that in all properly regulated
households Of clergymen wedding and
other fees are by long and rightful
custom passed on to the recipients
wife. The interest Of the wife In
weddings has been misunderstood By
those not acquainted with the dis
position Of wedding fees; 1t is because
marriages are the occasion Of sweet
ening, to use a term otherwise popu-
larly employed, the particular domes-
tic purse reserved for the personal
expenditures Of the lady Of the par
sonage that the fees should not be,
must not be. taxed.
Let Boston's Collector think of a
certain tax on teas and keep his
minions away from fees.

Bonus by Tax Exemption.
Proposal Of an Ex-Servicc Man Who
Objects to n Cash PAYMENT.

To THE NEW York HERALD: As an
ex-service man I have suggestion TO
make on the subject OF bonus.
Many OF US arc rather sceptical in
regard 20 the benefits OF cash bonus
for several reasons. One that II would
further empty an already depleted treas
ury and add to our present heavy taxa
ton. Another that no bonus In cash
could In safety be made large enough
TO be Of any material benefit and In
many cases Il would be actually detri-
mental to the recipient.
Conceding that bonus should DO
given. suggest tho following:
First. a retroactive bill. dating from
January, 1919. cxempting the ex-service
man from the income tax for a period
OF fivo years. or until 1924.
Second. refund the ex-ssrvico man the
amount of such tax he paid for 1919
and will pay for 1920.
This would give 80 per cont OF the
men some immediate relief and further
relieve them from this obligation over
a period OF years do not believe such
a plan would embarrass our Treasury
now or in the future and the beneft
to ex-sorvice men would bo distributed
over period OF years,

Oh the boats they come and tho boats

And the side lights shine with an added

The maneuvres OF this antique
company include within comparatively
recent years a land advance on Que

and a spirited charge Of a phalanx
Of 300 on Atlantic City. War corre-
spondents who accompanied each Of
these expeditions or watched the
sweeping away Of barriers and en-
tanglements at the objective points
all left vivid records OF yeoman ser

Radium for Mime. Curie.

Can any ything in life be more strange
than that MAMIE CURIE, the discov-
erer Of radium, owns none7 Can any
thing be more unfortunate than the
fact that she has no radium to use
for experimental purposes? With the
endless possibilities Of further re-
search in a field Of which the surface
has hardly been broken her genius
Is baked and cramped because the
tiny speck Of the wondrous element
which the French Government has
assigned TO her must be conserved for
hospital use. 1t cannot be dissipated
for experiment; 1t Is too grievously
needed by suffering humanity.
To remedy this condition a group
OF women In America have resolved,
with the aid of American women at
large. 10 endow the greatest scientist
Of their sex, perhaps the greatest
scientist living to-day. with whole
undivided gram Of radlum. A gram,
when reduced to dehnition, seems a
quantity ridiculously small. 1t Is a
shade less than 1917 grains: 1t is a
trine more than one-twenty eighth of

be loosely stored in the quill feather
OF a pigeon. But not long ago, when
some one asked Nine. CunrE what she
would like best Of all things In the
world. she replied that she longed for

''Helen's Babies" Not Dead
John Habberton's Best Seller Is Still

To THE New YORK HERALD: have

never been published through all tose

There were nearly a dozen editions on
the market then and all seemed Il be

unattractive In print and binding.

Uplift Of the Snow.
A Problem Of tho Conservation o.
Human Energy In Shovelllng.

0un6u EucIBy III 6uOSChhHSs
To THE NEW YORK HERALD: One Of
your correspondents sayp in discussing
the city's new snow fighting equipment
that mo private concern would use
those high built trucks that tho city Is
now using. They require tho men to
lift shovelful OF heavy snow above
their heads. This is 50 fatiguing that
their efficiency is greatly decreased. II
would be the most simple thing In the
world to undressing the body or to drag
the wagon bodies on runners"
This critic seems to have overlooked
the fact that prior TO this winter tho
system In vogue for the removal of snow
was to take privately owned trucks and
carts and build UP their bodies to twice
their normal height with the aid of side
boards Shovellors then were required
TO throw tho snow over the top Of the
built up sidee into the carta II Ii owl
dent that this was much more fatiguinx
than the method followed this winter.
Complaint has been made concerning
the shaliowness Of the new trucks. the
sides being about foot high. OF course
the carrying capacity Of the new trucks
may equal or exceed that OF those for
moriy used. but this isn't q wholly satis-
factory answer. We must remember
that tho old trucks were pulled by horses.
while the present trucks are driven by
gasolsne. and this makes a great differ
ence. especially in heavy going.

The Navy's Athletic Proves.

The spirit Of invincibllity seems to
have gripped those engaged In the
various fields Of athletic endeavor at

West Pointers, however, may console
themselves with the knowledge that

have acquired such confidence In their
ability to win that they would not
recognize defeat IL they saw II.
This IL the spirit which animates

great deeds by an Individual, a cav

An Old Bowery Tragedy.
Tho Dancer Whose Skirts Wcro Bet
Afro By the Footlights.

To TIE NEW YORK HERALD: In the
annals Of tho Now York stage you have
been printing no mention has been made
Of q tragic episode which took place at
tho OLD Bowery Theatre In the carly sos.
This was the death By Ore almost on the
stage Of Miss Denvil. sister Of Rachel
Denvil leading woman and most
popular actress Of tho time.
Tho play in which the accident hap
pcned was entitled The Twelve Tempta-
tions, or Virtue and Vice Contrasted."
This play should not DO confounded with
Tho Twelve Temptations produced
later at the Olympic Theatre. afterward
known as Laura Ksene's. In Broadway
between Houston and Bleecker streets.
Tho plot or story OF tho Bowery was
somewhat similar IN construction to tho
opera Of "Faust," wherein Fdust In SELL
ing his soul to MsphAstopheIes IL to have
renewed youth.
AS the curtain went UP Fdust and
McphSstophoIes were discovered In the
background or up stage. Miss Denvil,
playing the part OF Frauty. entered on
tho scene wearing tarletan skirts much
longer than those OF the dancers OF the
present day. She pirouettsd. holding a
golden over In one hand and q golden
goblet in the other. and in pantomine
poured liquor into the goblet Unluckily
she got too close to the footlights and
In q second her niInsy skirts wero In
flames.
The house was In an uproar Fcuss
and Meph4stophe,es ruehed to her as
sistance. The stage hands came on IRON,
the wings and the boys In the pit climbed
tho orchestra rails to get onto the stage
and the curtain was hurriedly runx
down. The sight had such an effect on
my mother that with many others We
immed. .ately left the theatre. The stage
manager. 50 ! afterward heard. came
before the curtain and announced that
the dancers burns were slight, but this
was not tho truth, and although the
young woman did not actually die In the
theatre she fingered for a short while in
her home before death carne TO her re-
lief. The performance OF the play vas
continued. to At IN, probably, with the
stage managers announcement.
