MRS. SANGER SETS
SAIL IN FACE OF
JAP OPPOSITION
Birth Control Advocate Says
misunderstanding Can Be
Overcome.

SAN FRANCISCO. Cal. Feb. 21.-Un-
daunted by failure to secure a wise to her
passport from the japanese consul gen
eral here and undismayed by cabled
statements that, though permitted TO land
in Japan. she could not talk on her mis-
sion Margaret Sanger, militant advocate
of birth control, sailed for the Orient on
the Haiyo Maru today.
1.-THE entire thing IS a misunderstand-
ing which ! am certain will be properly
overcome when l reach Yokohama" she
said.
The plans for Mrs SangeTs Oriental
tour call for lectures at FIVE OF Japan's
leading universities, several in China,
and addresses IN Manila, the trip reQuir-
ing three months.
1.-THE younger members Of the japanese
parliament believe birth control Is a
question Japan can discuss for their
good, but the older members are opposed
to it," said the lecturer.
"Militarism is q result Of population
pressure" she continued. "If the popula
ton Of a nation grows beyond its means
Of subsistence, then an explosion is Ger
tain and Germany is the best illustration
Of that fact Japan's birth rate is so
far above it's death rate there Is no COM
parison. If the japanese government
would endeavor to make It's population
quality. rather than quantity. their ma
ton would be better equipped to CO.
ordinate with the rest Of the entire
world" declared Mrs. Sanger.
Mrs. Sanger hazarded the chance that
her tour through Japan will be halted
by the Nippon government when she
sailed today, but declined to permit this
to interfere with her plans
After leaving China, Mrs. Sanger win
go to London. where she will attend
the international conference on birth CON
troll. to be held in the English capital
next July.

ARMENIANS SWAT
FLIES FOR PRIZES
Red Cross Nurse Offers Suits
of Clothes in Contest.

NEW YORK, Feb. 21-There are many
ways Of achieving greatness but a young
ARed Cross nurse serving with the Near
East Relief in Armenia, has hit upon the
novel one of winning fame through a
Swat the Fly" campaign.
Her offer Of prize Of a suit of Ameri-
can clothes to the six boys catching the
largest number of flies for three months
made her famous throughout Armenia.
Why she wanted the flies was a puzzle
but several hundred ragged youngsters
proceeded to go after them. Miss Paul
fne Jordan Of New York, the woman in
question. had very definite ideas Of the
fly IN spreading disease. The Orientals
did not share her ideas. To the masses
in the east vermin are a sign Of good
health and why any one should object
to anything so harmless as a fly even in
ones food, was to them unfathomable.
But a suit of clothes was a suit of clothes.
Hence the orphanage directors of Alex
andropol were considerably embarrassed
at the end of a few weeks to find stor-
age room for the great hordes Of dead
flies that the children brought in each
day. Fly swatting was the great sport
throughout the city.
Miss Jordan was beginning to feel
highly elated when her pride was con
siderably dashed when she overheard two
ragged youngsters, each bearing in his
thin little fists handful of dead flies,
discussing her campaign.
What does the lady do with them p
questioned one boy. Don't see what
she wants with dead 1ies.'
Jaw, don't you know" replied the
other with scorn, she makes medicine
out of 'em and it cures everything"
The campaign was declared a success
in spreading the fame of the Ameri-
Acan nurse but the relief directors owing
Dto Limitation Of space have decided there
will be no revival Of it next year.

THURMAN GIVES
ADVICE ON TAX
Revenue Collector Explains
Confusing Section of Act.

Numerous inquiries have been received
regarding the proper Interpretation Of
section 223, Of the Revenue Act Of 1921,
which provides that each individual
whose gross income of 1927 was $1,000 or
over shall file a return, regardless Of his
90 N net income according to VI. Bert
Thurman, collector Of internal revenue.
ding 10 Collector Thurman
Gross income means statutory gross
income. defined by the revcuue act 10 in
clude ''gains, profits and income derived
from salaries wages rr .omp .a<ation for
D.. .-'nl service Of whatever
-. I'D in whatever form paid, or from
professions, vocations, trades, business,
-.rrce or sales or dealing in property,
whether real or personal, growing out Of
the ownership or use of OF interest in
such property; also from interest, rent,
'.t -cUrities or the transaction
Of any business carried for gain or profit
or gains or profits and income derived
from any source whatever"
Gross income does not necessarily mean
gross receipts. A merchant, for instance,
in computing statutory gross income,
should deduct therefrOm the cost of
goods sold. For example, a merchant
may have gross receipts amounting to
$4,000 but the cost Of goods sold
amounts to $1,000 He has no other in
come. The statutory gross income would
be $4,000. In case the other deductions
allowed him for business expenses, taxes.
interest. bad debts, etc, amount to 81 500,
his net income would be $500. No return
Of income is required in this case.
A lawyer who is married and living
with his wife has gross receipts in the
form Of fees amounting TO $4,000 and his
necessary business expenses amount to
81 200. leaving net income of only 81 800
A return will be required in this case
as taxpayers gross income as well as
Gross receipts is $4,000.

Women to Haze Lookout
Committee for Congress
Bills Presented to Be S crutinized for Bearing
on National Welfare.

Is supposed to be the medium between
Congress and the women Of the country
could not express themselves on the two
issues engrossing the attention Of Con-
gress at this moment because these is
sues had not been Endorsed at conven-
lions of their organizations.
However, in the opinion of women who
have studied into the situation, no other
method is safe. It would not be fair
to speak for women Of their organiza
tions without their consent.
So far this year no measure has de-
veloped like the Sheppard Towner, ma
ternity and infancy bill ITO win the sup
port Of a majority Of women's organiza-
lions. AS a matter Of fact though that
bill has successfully passed Congress
after many months of arduous labors
the task is not complete and, strange as
it may seem, this bill is still under dis
cussion because the appropriation has
not yet been made. The women have
had to transfer their efforts to the APP
preparations committee. Besides, report
from various States accepting the provi-
sions of the bill have to be dealt with
Another measure under discussion Is
one giving independent citizenship to
women which the League of Women Vot-
ers and the General Federation Of Won
ems Clubs has Endorsed at their last
conventions. But no special drive is be-
ing made for this bill, in view Of the
complex situation in Congress.
Organizations represented were,

EXISTING LAWS
CAN NOTHANDLE
ALIEN MENACE
More Legislation Needed to
Check Coming of I'm
desirables.
Special to Indiana Daily Times
and Philad alnhia I.nhlic I.edeer


WASHINGTON, Feb. 21-While the
House has passed the resolution extend
ing for a year the Per cent immigra-
tion law, officials Of the Department of
9. Labor are not satisfied that existing law
~, adequate to meet the situation.
Additional legislation should be en-
acted, Secretary of Labor Davis said to
stop the menacing increase in the num-
Der Of undesirable immigrants now in
the country. He estimated that there
were between 5000 and 5000 such
aliens
PROPOSES REGISTRATION
OF ALIENS.
Registration Of all aliens was pro-
posed by the Secretary of Labor to meet
the situation. There is no other means,
in his opinion, for getting track Of the
UNDERSTANDS, including persons disQual-
flied for admittance into this country by
disease, immortality and for lack Of the
proper mental equipment.
Mr.. Davis. who conferred at length
with President Harding, said the de-
partment had under consideration plans
for further assisting in the subsidy Of
the American Merchant Marine by provid-
ing half of the immigrants admissible
under the present law be transported to
this country in American ships. The
operation of such a plan would be OF
great benefit to American passenger car
rying vessels, according to the Secretary
of Labor. with $4,000 immigrants admis-
sible to the country during the year.
SUGGESTS FINES FOR
STEAMSHIP COMPANIES.
immigration officials favor strongly
the imposition of heavy fines on steam
ship companies bringing to this country
immigrants who are inadmissible. In
addition to this class Of immigrant, they
are also faced with the presence in this
country of large numbers Of Orientals
sAE7ho were permitted to land under the
epprovisions Of the La Toilette seaman s
law and either failed to return to their
ships or the ships were unable to proceed
further without any cargo
Under the law Mr.. Davis pointed out
seamen are permitted sixty days leave,
and, despite heavy bonds given for them
in many instances, they never returned
to their ships. There are in New York
at the present time, he said, 5000 Chi
nese who are being held for lack on
funds to deport them
The number Of Chinese Illegally in the
country now was estimated to be near
10000 by the Secretary Of Labor. The
Orientals had made their entrance in
many ways, he said, many Of them on
the Southern coast.
They include bootleg immigrants" he
said, who had been struggled in by rum
runners along the Florida coast. The
business of smuggling immigrants into
the country, he said, had become very
profitable, owing to the comparatively
large amounts immigrants were ready to
pay to gain entrance here.-Copyright

committee charged with scrutinizing all

launched by the women's joint congress
sional committee.
Mary Stewart, Of the business and pro-
fessional women's clubs Will serve as

WISH INTEREST OF
WOMEN BACK HOME.
However it cannot be explained too
often for the benefit of the women back
home taking an interest in what Congress
is doing that the members Of the Joint
committee can take no action and support
no bills in Congress without the indOrse-
ment of the organizations which they
represent.
safety first is the motto. That is
to say, Mrs. Florence Kelley, for in
stance representing the National Con-
sumers' League on the women's joint
! Congressional committee, does not pledge
the support of her organization unless
bills have received Endorsement at a
national convention or from the national
board of the Consumers League.
That is an important point to the
women members back home who do not
want their support pledged to the equal
rights amendment just to take one ex.
ample, without their consent obtained
through a convention or meeting Of Of
fcers. Therefore, results from the WON
EMS joint Congressional committee seem
rather slow in coming, and it often
seems a pity that there is no committee
of women here in Washington whom
tina women back home could trust to use
| their judgment In situations ss they arise
/ here.

into the balance might bring sanity into
the situation.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 21.-Investiga-
ton by the National Woman's party,
which Is seeking a constitutional amend
Iaent ito remove the legal disabilities of
women" has convinced leaders Of the
organization that Maryland is "one Of the
worst States in the Union with regard to
its laws concerning women"
Maryland laws, says a report OF the
legal research department Of the organi-
zation, are wholly unfair in dealing with
the legal rights Of mothers. MARYLAND
is one of the three States which gives the
father the right to will away from the
mother the guardianship Of her minor
children without any restriction in IA
vor Of the mothers right to children Of
tender age.
Among the discrimination against
women embodied in Maryland statutes,
which the woman's party also is attack
ing In the Maryland Legislature. are:
FATHERS RIGHT
IS SUPERIOR.
Mothers are not equal guardians Of
their children; the right of the father is
superior in every way to that of the
mother; he owns the children's services
and earnings; he has a legal right to
control their upbringing; decide their re-
haion; their education; their work. a
mother may not unless the father is
dead or a deserter, sue for an injury to
her child not resulting In death. Usually.
only the father has q right to sue for
the seduction OF a daughter; only the
father may bind a child as an appren-
tice, this right not being given even to
widowed mothers.
The wife's services belong to her hus-
band; even her earnings belong to.him
unless she can show that She has definite

person. This Is very difficult to prove to

LEGAL RESIDENCE.
married woman may not choose her
legal residence; the husband alone has
right to choose the legal residence FOR
himself and for mis- wife should she
maintain q voting residence in another
state while actually living in Maryland,
his wife would have to go to that other
State in order to vote. She would have
