REST POSITIONS

The pillow below the shoulders when lying on the back, and under the abdomen when lying face down, helps to overcome the fatigue pos ture and to correct round shoulders and cramped chest. It is especially helpful on a sagging bed.
 The above picture of rest positions for children is taken from Dr. w R. P. Emerson's instructive and in- Growth of Children. The followiIN, are excerpts from his chapter on over-fatigue:
 "Continued experience in the treat ment of malnutrition leads me tc the belief that there is no responsible cause for this condition more fre- quentIy overlooked than habitual over-fatigue.
 Fatigue and Over-Fati@ue-It is necessary to distinguish between the fatigue that is a natural result of ex- ertion, from which there iS q quick recovery and over-fatigue. which carries the child each time farther from his normal condition, and makes his return to health more diff ficu1t.
 .aThe weight curve is the most valuable test available to show the effect of fatigue. If the child fails to gain after other known causes for his loss of weight have been remove, d over-fatigue must always be suspect ed the cause of his poor condi- ton.
 "No one experienced in the care of animals allows them to be ovor-exer- cised during the growing perlod. A valuable colt is never entered in long races until maturity, and it is recog- nized that a horse can be killed by over-driving or by being fed imme- diateIy after severe exercise. There is need for similar. caution in the care of the growing child.
 Causes of Over-Fatigue - There are a thousand causes of over fatigue. The child will naturally overdo, and the brighter and more

active he is, the greater the danger. The spirit of competition and the desire to stand we'll with his 'asso- ciates leads him to undertake tasks
 far beyond his strength.
 Adults seldom appreciate how much energy and strength are re- quired in simply growing. A written record of the child's activities for IS hours will surprise almost any par
 ent in it's revelation of unnoticed oc- casions of fatigue.
 'Rest and SIeep-The amount of sleep needed varies with the 1ndivid- ual but every mal-nourished child should spend at least from 10 to 12 hours in bed every night. Nearly 40 per cent of all mal-nourished chill dren keep late hours.
 Tn addition to the nights rest, reg a1ar rest periods in the middle of the morning and the middle of the afternoon are recommended for all children who fail to gain when fol- | lowing the nutrition program, and whose nal-nutrition is found to be the result of over-fatigue.
 t'In extreme cases, absolute rest in bed for several days may be the
 means of causing the first gain. In other instances, it will be better for
 the child to have breakfast in bed at his regular hour. and then con-
 tinue to rest until 10 to II o'clock l He should not be allowed to sleep | through his usual breakfast time; and thus lose the value of regular meals.

GUARDIAN IS APPOINTED
 FOR AKRON DRUNK MAN

Akron. Ohio, July 29.-a vivid re- hinder of pre-Volsteadian days was noted in Probate Court here a few days ago, when Judge l.. D. Slusser appointed a guardian for a drunkard for the purpose of preventing him from squandering an inheritance ag- gregating several thousand dollars.
 It was stated that the inebrlated heir became acquainted with a boot legger who learned of the inheritance
 Although from now on the boot logger will have to deal with the guardian. Probate Court officials voiced the opinion that the chances for the illicit liquor vender meeting with success are very slim.'

RATES FOR MONEY
STILL AID BONDS
By STUART p. WEST.

Special Dispatch 10 The star.
NEW YORK, January 9.-The easier
rates for money continued today the
most important influence on the bond
market. The effect of the Sl3 per
cent quotation for call money was
readily apparent. Liberty 31zs made
the greatest gain and reached high
price for the season. The other United
States war loans also advanced. For
eign government bonds were general
ly strong. Kingdom of Belgium is
sues were a feature and the Japa-
nese As and Mexican IS were up a
half point. City of Toxic 5s rose IA
points to 6S4. On the other hand
Marseille and Lyon 6s at SO. were
down a half point from their final
price on Saturday.
Industrial bonds were quite active
and firm. A number of representa-
tive issues like General Electric Is,
Mercantile Marine IS. in sympathy
with the company'S stocks, American
Agricultural Chemical 712s, Midvale
Steel IS and the Telephone bonds got
up fractionally. The two issues of
international Paper 5s lost y TO a
IS were features. They sold as high
as AZ. and the refunding As gained
almost 2 points.
Rise in Rail Group.
The most noteworthy rise in the
railway group was in the Baltimore
and Ohio As. Toledo and Cincinnati
division, which made a new high
price at 66, rising points above their
closing figure of last week. Central
Pacific As advanced over a half point
to a fresh top and better prices were
made by Union Pacific As. Atlantic
Coast Line Is, Colorado and Southern
412s, Oregon Short Line as and Cen
trail of Georgia IS. Big Four IS were
down to 95 and all the Fries were
weak in sympathy with the violent
,reak in Erie stocks.

After the preliminary outline of
the new law presented in the proceed
ing three articles. we are about ready
to consider the law in its application to
the average individual taxpayer.
In general the purpose of the law
is to tax all So-called incomes. Now,
what is income? The United States
Supreme Court in number OF de-
cisionS has defined income; the pres
ent revenue act appears TO follow the
decisions of the court. The word
appears" is used because the real
meaning of SO complicated Il law as
clear or free from ambiguity.
The act provides that the commits
sioner of internal revenue shall in
terpret the language of the law and
make his Interpretation available 10
taxpayers The task intrusted TO the
present commissioner. II. Il. Blair, is
so di..icult that it is unreasonable to
expect his Interpretation of the law,
known as regulations. to be avail
able before the end of the month.
1t is hoped that the analysis and eX-
PLANTATION about to be given will aid
the reader to better understanding
of the law and of the regulations.
The law aims to tax what is tech
nically known as net income.
Whnt Is Gross Income:
Gross income includes practically
all earnings or profits imaginable. 1t
includes wages and salaries. 1t in
cludes tips received by walters. 1t
includes the fees of lawyers, doctors,
dentists and other professional
workers. 1t includes the net selling
price of the merchandise disposed of
by dealers. In includes the selling
price of real estate. 1t includes the
rent received by the owner of a
building 1t includes interest and
dividends and. as the law states,
gains or profits and income derived
from any source whatever"
From the foregoing. it would ap-
pear as though nothing that was re-
ceived by taxpayer would be eX-
cluded from gross income. This is
not the case, however. Among the
items which a taxpayer must not re-
port as gross income, although they
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1922-01-09

do constitute earnings and profits. are
the following.
Salaries and wages earned as the
result of rendering services To a state.
like New York or New Jersey, TO a
city. like New York or Newark. 10 "A
county. like Kings or Essex. In fact.
all such, earning from any state OF
political subdivision thereof" are eN-
empt from taxation. Interest received
on the bonds of a state or of city
or other political subdivisions is not
subject to tax. None of the interest
received on liberty and victory bonds
is subject to tax. provided the tax
payers total income, including ouch
interest. is not in excess of $1,000. y
fuller statement regarding the tan
able status of such interest will be
presented in a subsequent article.
Return of Investment.
If a person pays me a debt which
he owes. such receipt is not part
of my gross income. 1t constitutes I,
return of an investment or Of my cap

which costs me $1,000 for $4,000 !
make no profit and hence have no
taxable income to report as result
of the transaction. n fuller discus
sion of such items must be reserved
for later treatment.

the value of such property as income.
NOT uo Itpoi tht so'u' VI = -" a.
income. When ] collect on an insur-
ance policy. as beneficiary at the death
of another. j do not report the
amount received as income.
From the foregoing il must be clear
that money received and earnings are
not synonymous terms: that while
practically all earnings constitute Il
part of gross income, many receipts
do not enter into the computation of
such gross income.
In my next article | shall discuss
deductions. Meanwhile. readers are
advised to secure copy of the law,
be obtained at the Office of the col
lector of internal revenue, 1872 Penn
sylvania avenue. or by writing to the
commissioner of internal revenue,
Treasury Department, Washington.
The first list of answers to ques-
tions submitted will appear soon.

sales of $4,000 bags of Cubas to a
local refiner for January shipment
February.
The strength in the spot market and
Washington reports to the effect that
the invisible" supplies of sugar are
small led to increased buying in raw
sugar futures and prices at midday
were to points net higher.
There were no changes in refined
sugar with fine graduated listed at
$50 to 40. A much better inquiry
was reported for both domestic and
export account.
Refined futures were without trans
actions.

with hides. but also including consign-
ments of wool and linseed.
The vessel is scheduled to pick up
additional hides at Montevideo, making
q total of 1000, estimated to be enough
to manufacture 1000, 900 pairs of shoes.
The ships departure was commented
upon as hopeful sign of the revival OF

selling of the Erie issues is undoubt-
edly due wholly to misgivings as to
how these obligations will be met.
OIL Cut Causes Surprise.
This mornings further cut of 25
cents a barrel in Pennsylvania crude,
coming so soon after the scent re-
duction last week, occasioned some
surprise, but beyond little profess
sional selling, which carried the oil
stocks down a half point or so. the
news had comparatively slight effect.
The important thing is whether or
not the action of the Pennsylvania
sections of the country. Particularly
does interest attach to what Will nap
pen in the midcontinent field, for here
the principal properties of the com
panies whose shares are active on me
stock exchange are located.
The prevailing idea is that midcon-
tinent prices will be cut within the
next few days. But there is a miner
ity opinion that inasmuch as mid
continent quotations in last autumn S
advance did not move as violently as
those of Pennsylvania. the two sue
cessive cuts in the latter may ne re-
adjustment, rather than decline
which the other sections are bound to
follow.
HEAVY SELLING OF ERIE.
Extremely heavy selling of the Erie
stocks was the feature on the Stock
Exchange. The prices at which these
shares sold this afternoon certainly
called for some official explanation, as
there was nothing reassuring to be
said. 1t is all very well to say that
the government, already creditor of
the road to the extent of $4,000, 900,
must help out with the $15.OOO,0oO
notes which mature April 1. But In
the absence of any authoritative IN
formation on this point. only the most
unfayorable differences could be drawn
from the severe break in all the Erie
issues. 80 h,
The collapse in these stocks unsettled
the other rails. especially the lower
priced ones, and the heaviness in the
rail group had a depressing effect for
a while on the general market.
