POLISH LAD AGAIN is BARRED
Fourteen-Year.oId Boy Is Denied En-
trance to the United States for
the Fourth Time.

New York.-"I'm coming back-and
I'll make'it next time"
With tears streaming down his face
end his grimy little fists rubbing his
eyes, fourteen-year-old Edward Philip
Pzerk of Danzig, Poland cried bitterly
when he faced defeat at the end Of
his seventh trip across the ocean, four
times turned back from the United
States,
Edward is an orphan and has been
a waif for six years. Always In his
travels there has been a vision Of
America, his goal. Four times he tried
to get past the immigration station at
New York city. Forr times he was
turned back.
Edward recently arrived from Po-
land. He slipped aboard ship in Eu-
rope and told the officers of the boat
that his SISTER" had his ticket.
Thereafter he ate, slept, had his hair
cut, and ate the ships candy, all at
his sisters" expense, until the purser
discovered that the SISTER" was a
myth.
They locked him In a stateroom. he
kicked out the door panels and es-
capped. The captain put a leg iron on
him and again licked him up. It was
this way that he arrived in the United
States for the fourth time, only to be
placed with a group of other immi:
grants to be deported.

statistics would appear to furnish
what all the moralists have been look.
ing for; the economic or other justifi.
cation for the flapper. The figures
show that the fiapper stenographer
makes more money than any other
class Of women. In 1920, 342,068 of
these flapper stenographers paid in
come tax. Their aggregate income
amounted to $475, $40, 1O9-nearly half
billion dollars or enough to pay the
interest on the allied debt.
That good many of these assist In
the support Of families to the extent
that they are classed as heads of fami-
lies is shown by the fact that they are
the most numerous of that group Of
women. There were 79,446 in the same
general income class who made re-
turns as heads of families; doubtless
supporting parents or younger broth
ers and sisters. The fact that among
the wives making separate returns
this also is the largest income class is
taken as an Indication of the large
number of young married women who
have kept their stenographic jobs and
continue to run their own financial af-
fairs. There were 20,547 in this class
and they had an aggregate income Of
$50, ,294, POT.

Lord Curzon, the British foreign
secretary. arriving in Paris, found the
passenger elevator at the Quai d'Orsay
station out of order and cheerfully
adopted the suggestion of the station
master that he might use the freight
elevator. Just as the elevator boy
was slamming the gates shut, there
came rushing toward the lift thick
set, elderly man, breathing heavily.
He made as If to enter the elevator,
but the attendants waved him off.
II am just as heavy and as old as
your lone passenger" the man de-
clared, "why should you refuse to take
me up?"
Because this Is Lord Curzon," re-
sponded the railroad man impress
sively.
"Oh, well, that's all right" replied
the stranger, making for the stairs,
"I'm only Joffre."
He was given a lift.

FIappers' Income. Would Pay In

Figures Indicate
MANY IN MILLIONAIRE CLASS
All of the Fair Sex Combined Paid
Taxes to the Government In 1920
on Net Incomes hggreeating
$2,1s8, ,160, ,662.

Washington.-More than half mill
lion single women in the United States
paid income tax in 1920 and many Of
them paid on incomes of fabulous size.
The precise number Is sos, 500 and the
aggregate of their incomes reached
the astounding total Of 81 ,264, ,955,727.
These are all in the class which
statisticians of society would class or
dinarily as dependent females; that
is they are not rich wives nor heads
of families. For to the full total Of
woman taxpayers the others must be
added. Woman heads Of families, that
is, widows with children or daughters
supporting parents, paid tax to the
number of 132, ,181 and their aggregate
net income amounted to $S88,364, $50.
Lead by Millions.
In cases where lives have estates
or earnings separate from their hus-
bands they frequently make separate
returns. Those doing so in 1920 num-
bered 77,558 and their aggregate in
come 1854, $40, ,405. These figures re-

richest of all by many millions. All of
the fair sex combined paid taxes to the
government on net incomes aggregat-
ing $2,18S, 160,662, but the wives and
widows together only showed three
quarters as much income as the girls.
The year 1920 is the latest for which
income statistics are available. The
government in issuing these statistics
is compelled 20 put them in such form
that the identity of the rich recipients
of the great incomes is not revealed.
Under the law, income tax returns are
deeply confidential.
Nevertheless, The statistics can be
studied to bring interesting facts to
light. They indicate that the richest
woman in the United States, or at
least, the woman who received the
greatest net income wac single. The
statistics do not reveal whether she
was young and beautiful, or forbid
ding old maid. What they DE- reveal is
that she had an income somewhere
between 100000 and $3,000,000 a
year. This does not mean that she
merely was worth between $4,000
and $3,000,OO0; but that each year
added that vast fortune to her estate.

Truly Wonderful.

An airplane was flying over the coun-
tryside and the pilot was indulging In
a little stunting. Absent-mindedly he
looped the loop, quite forgetting that
he had on board parcel containing
pair of boots.
Naturally they dropped out and
landed just in front of an old woman
in cottage garden.
The package burst open and out
rolled the boots, much to her astonlsh-
ment.
Picking them up, she hobbled In
doors and called out to her husband:
"Ere you are, Gargel' They boots

POISONED GLUE FOR BIBLES
Particular Protection Necessary for
Books Intended for Circulation In
the Gilbert Islands.

Not only must Bibles be attractively
bound and well printed, but some Of
them must be perfumed, peppered and
poisoned as well. Bibles going to the
Gilbert islands contain In the binding
glue and the paste which fastens the
cover a mixture Of oil of cloves, cay
enne pepper and corrosive sublimate.
This Is to ward off a certain worm,
peculiar to these islands, which de-
stroys the bindings Of books. Twelve
hundred such Bibles have been sent
recently by the United States Bible So
ciety on their 15,O00-mlle journey to
Ocean island by way Of Sydney, Aus
tralia. Rev. d. Hiram Bingham, the
famous missionary translator, gave his
life to the preparation of the Bible In
the GIlbertese language.
