CHICAGO CHEFS
WANT BETTER
HOTEL SERVICE
Radical Changes May Be Inaugur.
afed as Result of Plans to Be
Discussed at National Meet

Chicago, May s.-Chicago chefs
are working upon plans to be. pre-
scented to the hotel men OF the
country that will cut down expens-
es, reduce waste TO a minimum and
cater more to what the public real
Iy wants. The "hefs who are MEM
bers OF the Loyal Craft Of the Pro-
gressive Culinary association, an
Organization designed to work for
the betterment CT hotel service, are
busy now writing papers on sub
jects of vital interest TO hotel men
and which may result in radical
changes being made in hotel man
agement. The papers will be dis
eussed at the National Hotel expo
sition here May Sth to 18th.
Anton Negri. a Chicago caterer,
and president OF the Loyal Craft,
viii present SOM Of the problems
that the hotel men face.
Kitchen Lingo.
"One of the big obstacles we
ave to contend with is the inter-
1ediary betwee, the real boss in
he hotel and the chef" said Mr..
Negri. THE manager should learn
the lingo of the kitchen. He should
be in erect contact with it and
know personally what the real con-
ditions are. The chef gets the
blame when he does not deserve
it. The pound should be the stan
dard weight. The hotel men of the
country should unite and demand
that congress make the standard.
Then we would not have to buy
carrots by the box and spinach by
the bushel There are many sizes
in boxes and no two bushels are
the same in the quantity they con-
tain. There should be just so
many pounds in box or bushel.
When we get a pound of rice we
know we have a pound of rice. but
it is astonishing the loss a hotel
sustains in a year by being COM
PEELED to bay by the box and the
bushel.
Can the fancy and foreign
names be eliminated from menus?"
is another topic that will be dis
eussed during the exposition. Mr..
Negri contends that it is impossible
TO absolutely Americanize menus,
for the reason that the cooks have
been trained according to the for
eign terms.

bake bread that was so good and of

In those days bread was baked in
ovens heated by logs and slabs;
yeast was made at home; newspap-

when made at all, were made on foot.

INCOME EXEMPTIONS UNDER
NEW REVENUE TAX LAW

The revenue act of 1921 contains two
new and important provisions, which are
the subject of frequent inquiry. The
first relates to the personal exemptions
allowed married persons, and the secon9
TO the provision requiring that a return
be made of gross income Of $4,000 or
more.
The act provides that a married per-
son, living with husband or wife whose
net income for 1921 was $4,000 or less
shall be allowed a personal exemption
Of $500. II the net income Of such
person was over $1,000 the exemption is
$4,000 Under the revenue. act Of 1918
the = -sonal exemption allowed a mar
red person was $4,000 regardless of the
amount of net income. The normal tax
rate remains unchanged, 4 per cent. on
the first $4,000 of net income above
the exemptions and per cent. on the
remaining net income.
In order that income slightly in ex-
cess Of $4,000 shall not be subjected to
an inordinately dis3rcportionate tax be-
cause OF the reduction Of the exemption
to $4,000 thereon. the law provides that
such reduction shall not operate to in
crease the tax, which would be payable
if the exemption were $500, by more
than the amount Of the net income in
excess Of $4,000.
For example, on a net income Of S.
o10 the tax. without this saving clause.
would be $1,000. which is 4 per cent.
on 5000. the amount Of net income
less an exemption OF $4,000. The actual
tax is $1,000, computed as follows:
from the net income Of 5000 is deduct
ed $4,000, leaving s2510. the 4 per cent.
tax on which amounts to $1,000. To
this is added $40, "the amount of net
income in excess Of IS 900"
The personal exemptions allowed

Of family person who supports In

quired to file a return. Under the rev
enue act Of 1921. if the gross income Of

CHELSEA PARADE TREES
HAVE TO RE CIT nOWN

Seiectman Casper X. Basdey is hav-
ing two of the elm trees at Chelsea pa
rade cut down as they have died out at
the tops so that they were in condi-
ton that threatened danger from large
limbs and branches that might break off
at any time. There is still another tree
that must be felled as it is in the same
condition. 1t is probable that he will re-
place them with NAPLES.
One of the trees cut down is at the
southerly end of the park on the Broad
way side. Tns~was a tree of no great
size, but the other is one of the giants
On the Washington street side of the
parade, across from the Blackstone res
idence This was more dangerous than
the smaller tree as it had long spread
ing limbs, all of them dead that reach
ed out over Washington street and
would have done great damage for
which the town would have probably
been liable if they had hit pedestrians
or vehicles when they fell.
