DRUMM0ND TALKS
ONDATE GROWING
Inoio Nan Says Imperial Val
ley viii Be Best in
the World

Professor Bruce Drummord, Of the
Bureau of Plant Industry, Department
of Agriculture, believes that Imperial
valley will prove to be the greatest
date growing region IN the world, but
it must be started right with due con-
sideration to soil and climatic condl-
tons. both of which may vary Sut1l-
ciently within short distance to SER
iously effect results, he said at d
Chamber OF Commerce directors meet
ing last evening.
1t is too expensive an industry to
experiment with. From the start, the
garden must be assured of commercial
value or the grower will be doomed to
disappointment, he SAID.
One point made by Dr. Drummond
was, that seeds do not always bring
forth of their kind. The plants there
fore must be tested and the worthless
varieties destroyed. Since 1912 the
has urged the planting of
date seed; over million and half
seeds having been distributed. 1t is
the desire to find men who will con-
tract with the government department
to plant and observe the results, keep
ing certain records Men of this
kind will DC gwen every help and en-
couragement possible as the bureau
is most dcsirous of gaining unqucs-
tionablc information.
Mr.. Drummond believes that there
are thousands of acres adapted to
date production in Imperial county,
some Of it possibly without water at
this time for irrigation. A date tree
takes three times as much water as
any other tree and must have it tC
thrive.
The speaker did not think that there
is much chance of the native varieties
ever driving from the market the i'm
ported dates which can be grown
packed and delivered in New York
cheaper than our dates can be growr
and delivered at the nearest railway
station. His idea is to so direct The
market that the native date will never
come into direct competition witt
those grown in other countries.
He said that no man has been able
at this stage to set correct value
upon an acre Of growing dates. Some
sales Of such orchards have been made
at prices that have caused criticism
and disappointment to the buyers
Sugar content, keeping qualities anC
market preferences must be considered
in the raising Of the product. Imper
ial valley dates will eventually make
it famous if the industry is put upoI
the right basis.
Among other experts who address
ed the meeting on date culture were
II. II, Shamlin, of the government bu
reau of scale control; f. II. Simmon:
and Prof {. f. Spcrry.

THERE'S SOME HOPE
FOR PREACHERS
Official Figures Shop Salaries
Rising Adore Those of
Day LaborerS

NEW YORK, Feb. 9.-There is a
gieam of hope that ministers may
eventually get out of the day laborers
class, in a statement issued at the
Episcopal Church headquarters here
yesterday, which shows total in
crease in salaries paid the clergy Of
the church in the past two years Of
$2,41j,5554. Two years ago the aver
age salary of clergymen was about
$500. The average salary today, un-
der the increase noted, is $2,259. These
figures are based upon statement
prepared by Harold p. Mills, sccre-
tary Of the Church Pension Fund.
whose greatest source Of income is
derived from a 12 per cent pre-
MUM paid by congregations on the
salaries Of their rectors. According
TO these figures the salaries paid in
1920 were $1,418,240, more than the
previous year; while there was a fur.
ther increase Of clergy salaries Of
S997,314, making d total increase paid
during the two years of S2,4l5,554.
In point of fact, according TO Mr..
Mills figures, an even larger amount
was paid out by the church on salary
accounts during the period covered
Ninety-eight per cent of all the par
ishes, in addition 10 the salaries, pay
the premiums which go to make up
the Pension Fund from which the
clergy ultimately benefit; 50 that in
1920 salaries and premiums together
totalled $11, ,0G9, ,349, and in 1921, $l2,-
141,4 1,453.
Practically one third Of the total
amount contributed by the church for
all purposes in 1920 was devoted to
this joint account Of salaries and pen
sions Church leaders hail the result
as an outstanding triumph for the
nation-wide campaign, one Of the chief
goals Of which was TO insure for the
clergy a living wage.

Income Tax Facts


More liberal allowance for deduc-
tions for contributions is made by the
revenue act of 1921 than was provided
by the revenue act of 1918. A new
provision is that, in computing net in
come, a taxpayer may deduct from
gross income contributions or gifts
made during the taxable year for eX-
clusively public purposes to the United
States, any State or Territory, any
political subdivision thereof (city,
county, town or hamlet) or the Dis
trict of Columbia. Other allowable
contributions are those made to any
corporation or community chest, fund
or foundation operated and organized
exclusively for religious, charitable
scientific, literary or educational pur
poses, including posts of the American
Legion, or women's auXiliaries of such
posts, or for the prevention of cruelty
to children or animals, no part of
which inures to the benefit of any pri-
vate stakeholder or individually; also to
the special fund for vocational rehab-
ilitation. Such contributions are al
lowed to an extent not in excess of
10 per cent of the taxpayers net in
come, computed without the benefit of
this deduction.
Gifts Not Deductible
Gifts made directly to an individual
are not deductible, but if made to an
organization of the kind described may
be deducted even though the organiza-
ton distributed its funds among indi
vidual~ beneficiaries.
Deductions for contributions are not
allowed corporations or partnerships
The members of a partnership or per-
sonal service corporation may take
credit in their individual returns for
their proportion of such gifts, pro-
vided the pro-rata part, when added
to the individual contributions. does
not exceed 10 per cent of the taxpay-
ers' net income.
However, donations made by COR
porations to charitable institutions,
hospitals or educational institutions
which legitimately represent a eonsid-
Grafton for benefit flowing directly
to the corporation as an incident of its
business are allowable deductions as
ordinary and necessary expenses.
For example, corporation may de
duct donations made directly to a
hospital conducted directly or indi-
rectly for the benefit of its employees
or their dependents as business eX-
/ pense.
Deductions for contributions for
political campaign purposes are eX-
pressly prohibited by Treasury regu-
lations.- Amounts expended for lob
bying purposes, the promotion or de-
feat of legislation, the exploitation of
propaganda including advertising
other than trade advertising, are not
deductible.
Deductions for contributions are
allowed only for the year in which
actually made. Promises to make fu-
ture contributions should not be con-
sidered by the taxpayer.

Hunter Traps Take a New Silhouette

slightly bloused back and are par
ticularly adapted for the fuller fig
ure. The string girdle, always a
becoming feature to the full fig
ure, loops itself through the back
of the coat, raising the blouse over
itself into the new bloused effect.
p::'aped models are popular. But
ne fnany figures can afford the
severity of this extreme style.
There are models, however, that
are drawn slightly to one side at
the waistline and fasten with a
novelty cabochon, giving just a
hint of the drape, yet keeping the
slender silhouette in evidence.
The addition of panels to coat
whose lines are straight will bring
it up to the latest silhouette. The
panels are attached at the waist
line and reach a little below the
hem of the coat, swinging freely as
one walks. Panels that are added
to a coat from last season to make
it modish once again may be Sc
lected of the fur fabrics now being
shown in the shops. In this way
the necessity of matching a new
fabric with a worn coat may be
avoided. Keep your color scheme
harmonious and you will find your
old coat taking on an interesting
change. If the coat is trimmed
with possum, fox, wolf, beaver or
squirrel, you may take a little of
the fur from each cuff and have
the additional coat panels edged at
the bottom with this, so that they
will acquire that sense of belong
ing.
Watch your silhouette is the
watchword of the hour. For if the
lines of your wrap are correct the
fabric and fur will take care Of
themselves.

gan. 1t was a discouraging task.
Charlotte was convinced that she
looked worse in each one.
AT last, the saleswo oman
brought out from some hidden
nook smart gown done in one of
the new brown tones, and ex-
Squlsitely embroidered in copper
beads. The lines were straight
and severe, save where the de-
sign elaborated itself about the
lower part of the hips. There was
no question about it, the gown
was stunning. The price seemed
terrific, but remembering her hus-
bands admonitions, Ilarlotte was
about to say the final, "I'll take
1T" when she heard the uniformed
house messenger paging ner.
She stepped from out the small
salon and made herself known.
Lady to see you," the boy an
nounced, indicating a tall angular
woman of middle age, who stood
by the entrance door, tailored in
severe m n i S h attire. The
woman stepped forward and in
brisk business-like tones made her
self known.
I'm your husbands secretary.
He asked me to come up and help
you select your new dress"
The woman waited as if for
further instructions.
Charlotte concealed her embaa-
rassment,. and with a gracious
smile stepped back into the salon,
inviting this strange and unwel-
come guest to accompany her.
"Well, I've just about decided
on this" said the wife, turning be-
fore the mirror, and watching the
effect the really beautiful creation
would have upon the secretary.
Like it," she ventured gaily,
but in her heart she was resent
full.
"Well, it's a beautiful Dress"
began the angular woman, "but it
certainly makes you look wide
about the hips, and that was the
one feature which your husband
cautioned me about when he asked
me to come up here. He says you
have a mania for things that make
you look large. :"
The secretary meant no insult.
She was telling the truth as she
knew and saw it, and according to
her sense of tact. But the remark
SIT Charlotte. So, Billy had dis
cussed her figure with this woman
- this m a n n S h person who
wouldn't know good style if she
saw it.
Have you tried on anything
else?" asked the secretary, glanc-
ing furtively at her wrist watch.

retorted Charlotte, with cheeks
flaming in spite of herself, "ard

clothes. She sewed on buttons,
darned hosiery, kept hooks and
eyes matching, etc. And for each
task she had definite price. Sat
urdays and holidays, when there
were no studies to be made up, she
would devote an entire day to this
work and charge by the day.
Another girl, graduating in the
same class, says she leased house
across from the college dormitory
and rented out rooms to the over
flow students. She had sufficient
capital to pay three months rent
in this house and the furnishings
were purchased on the instalment
plan. The idea worked itself into
a practical success, and the income
not only paid her tuition, but pur-
chased her clothes as we'll.
To the girl who is sincere in her
desire for college education there
is no task too mental. A strong
constitution and good health are
the requisites for this work.

accomplished, the final touches are
given. Those touches of beauty
which every woman gives to the
arms before slipping into her
sleeveless frock.
Have you ever tried the liquid
or paste whitener for the arms?
There is a variety of these prod
ucts on the market and one needs
only to sample a few of them to
find a liquid or paste powder that
blends with ones natural coloring.
The paste whitener is applied
on a soft sponge which is first
dipped into cold water, then run
across the top of the fragrant
cake of paste. The arms are
sponged evenly and the whitener
allowed to dry on. It is then
smoothed by rubbing over the
surface with a soft cloth.
Rouging the elbows to make
them soft and pretty is a trick
which French women learned long
ago. When was abroad | found
that the custom was followed by
women of all classes and became
a part of ones daily toilette when
the sleeveless frocks became the
vogue. Powder rouge is, of
course, required for this. 1t is
rubbed in circular movement
over the whitened elbow and only
the lightest shade of pink is used.
The effect is charming and one
may go forth to face a critical
world with that sense of conf
dence which, as I have already
said, makes for poise and natural
grace.
Question: l have been reading
your advice for some time and
would like to know what you
think of olive oil for the scalp. Do
you believe it makes the hair
grow?
Answer: Olive oil is an excel
lent tonic for the scalp that is
lacking in natural oil. The oil
nourishes the glands and gives the
hair a new lease on life.
Question: My eyes become very
weary after reading and l have
noticed that the pupils seem eZ-
ceptionally small for a while after
Is there some way l could avoid
this and keep my eyes in good
condition at all times? I read, as
part of my work, so I could not
avoid that.
Answer: Try to give your eyes
as much rest as possible. I would
suggest the daily eve bath, given
with the dark eye-cup. A pinch
of boracic acid added to a half cup
of luke warm water makes a
splendid solution to clear and
stimulate the eyes.

TlIBOWS present a problem
r. for the beauty specialist
now that the new social
season has begun and sleeveless
gow1is will once again be in evil
denc,s.
The woman who boasts beauti-
full arms has a true asset. Beau
tiful arms, and especially nicely
formed elbows, give a certain
sense of self-confdence. 1t is
this sense that permits freedom of
arm movement that makes for
graceful gestures.
How to give the arms that soft,
velvety appearance is the ques-
ton. So few of us are gifted with
this natural charm that time and
patience are required to affect a
result.
. ally massage of the arms is
required to keep them soft and
smooth. If your arms are inclined
to BE feshy at the upper parts,
mass age will increase the flow of
blood to these parts, which will
act rs a medium to carry off the
supe rfous tissue. If the arms are
too thin, the massage will help to
make them plump. Oddly enough,
mas sage treatment has the effect

creased circulation not only car
ries off excess tissue but builds up
tissue where it is lacking.

warm water and wiring it dry.

arm and allow it to remain a few
moments so that the pores will

and sub the cream into the arm.
Wort: it in circular movements

small part of the arm is done at a

mittad to remain on until we'll alb
sorbad so that the starved tissues
may be nourished from the out
side as well as from within.
Whe Re the arms are inclined to be
over " plump, the cream should be
used only as a massage medium
and sFwiped off directly after.
Tie arms should be kneaded
whene the circulation is poor.
Much of the roughness which ap-

she kept her magazines and pa
