Human Element is

Cleveland.-The human element is
the essence of the function of public
education as conceived by the found

schooling as duty of the republic
not of mere parents, and levied the
cost Of it on everybody whether they
go to school or have relatives in
school or not" continued Dr. Nc
Andrews.

defence, and for the general welfare

i(c) Selfishness of parents who wish

HOLDS ALIMONY
NOT TAXABLE
Alimony is Not Taxable
Income in Making Out
Income Reports.
GIVES OTHER RULINGS


The following statement is issued by
Collector of Internal Revenue A. H,
Wilkinson of the district Of Wiscon-
sin:
Did you receive alimony during the
year 1922? Were you successful in a
breach Of promise suit entered against
former admirer?
Personal questions, very, but impor-
tant to those to whom they apply in
the preparation of an income tax re-
turn for the year 1922.
Amounts received as alimony are not
taxable income. Such payments do not
have to be included in the income tax
return of the person receiving them,
nor may they be deducted from the
gross income of the person paying
them. In this respect, payment of ali
mony may be likened to a personal or
living expense, which is not deductible.
However, a woman who has won a
breach of promise case, or has accepted
out of court settlement as heart balm,
must include the amount in her income
tax return. The Bureau Of Internal
Revenue has ruled in such cases that
the amount received ''is not to be re-
garded as return of capital, since the
benefits of which the injured party was
deprived were merely anticipatory."
Union Dues Deductible.
Members of labor union may de-
duct as business expense dues paid to
such organizations during the year
1922. Such dues are held by the Bu-
reau to be necessary expenses incident
to the earning of their wages. A mem
Der of labor union who, while on
strike, receives payment from an or
ganization must include in his income
for the year such items. s@ 3~H F'@
The taxpayer who in 1922 recovered
damages for defamation of personal
character need not include in his re-
turn such amount, inasmuch as it has
been held to be non-taxable income.
The revenue act specifically exempts
amounts received through accident or
health insurance, or under workmen's
compensation acts as compensation for
personal injuries or illness, plus any
additional amount received by suit or
agreement in such cases.
Dead Line Is March 18th.
To avoid penalty, returns should be
filed on or before midnight of March
10.
Free advisory service in the prepara-
ton of the forms is offered at the office
of Collector Of Intern& Revenue A. H.
Wilkinson, Federal Building, Milwau-
kee, Wisconsin, and the following
branch Offices: Kenosha, Oshkosh,
Madison, La Crosse, Superior and

cities are all located in the post Offices

BOAT SERVICE
TO START SOON
Hill Steamboat Company
Announces Plan to Start
Daily Service.
OPERATE FIVE BOATS

During the coming lake transporta-
ton season, Kenosha will have for the
first time in more than seven years,
daily freight service on Lake Michigan.
The Hill Steamship lines, whose main
offices are located in Kenosha, has an
nounced that starting April the LIST, q
daily freight service will be operated
by that company between Chicago and
Manitowoc. Kenosha being one of the
harbors to be visited by the steamers
of the company. The boats will make
stops at Chicago, Waukegan, Kenosha,
Milwaukee, Sheboygan and Manitowoc.
Starting about May the 1st, the
steamship company will also run tri-
weekly trips from Manitowoc north,
touching points as far north as Wash
ington Island and thus giving oppor-
tunity for through lake transportation
from Kenosha to these northern Wis
consin ports. The boats to the north
will be equipped to carry both passen-
gers and freight.
To Operate Five Boats.
The Hill company will operate five
boats during the coming season. Three
which they recently purchased from
the government, are 760 gross ton YES
sells. They were built at Sturgeon
Bay. Two of the boats have been
named "Kenosha" and "Waukegan',
the others probably to be named after
other cities along the line.
The officers of the corporation, all
we'll known in Kenosha, are: w. w.
Hill, president; w. E. Hill, vice-pre-
sident; L. L. Hill, secretary and gener-
al manager; A. S. Hubenthal, general
freight agent, and Mark Kindt, assist
ant manager.
New Opportunities for KenOsha-
The new lines which are being estab-
lished by the Hill company will bring
exceptional lake transportation facil-
tiles to Kenosha. Not only will it be
possible to receive freight for Milwau-
kee each morning by the Hill boat and
vice versa from Chicago, but also the
line will open a means for sending
freight to terminals in Chicago where
it may be transferred to other lake
boats for ports not touched by the
Hill line
The Hill company has always found
a splendid patronage for its more
limited line in Kenosha and it is be-
lieved that Kenosha shippers will be
quick to see the advantages offered
by the new arrangement.

Hayes Arrested
In Milwaukee
Detective Who Worked in Kenosha is
Taken to Police Office After Bat
tie With Conductor.

Joe Hayes, pretty we'll known to
Kenosha people on account of his con-
nection with detective work during
the grand jury investigation in Keno
sha had to go to the police Office in
Milwaukee on Sunday night when he
got into trouble with street car con-
ductor in Milwaukee. Hayes had a
ten-dollar bill and proffered it for fare
when he got on a street car. The CON
ductor could not change it and then
trouble started. 1t ended in fight
and Hayes was arrested. 1t was said
that the matter would probably be
fixed up without Hayes being arraign-
ed in court.
Hayes was the clever man who
worked in Kenosha and purchased
most of the liquor which was used in
the trial of cases against liquor deal
ers here.

There is no doubt in my mind that
the enfranchisement of women in
Europe would end war in Europe,
said Mrs. Morgan.
France, denied the privilege of
suffrage for women, apparently is
about to be plunged into another war,
when the vote of the women them
selves probably would have prevented
peace will come to the world when wo-
men are given the opportunity to do
their share in managing the govern

The Rome conference is the first of
it's kind since the war. Each country
participating, regardless of size, is
entitled to twelve delegates. Mrs.
Morgan was elected by the National
League of Women Voters.
Mrs. Morgan plans to leave the
United States the latter part of April.
After attending the conference at

Industrial Recreation.

with the rapid growth OF industry
in America, industrial recreation is es-
pecially influencing the progress of
cities. Rather than an adaptation of
the individual to industry through rec
reation, or industry to human nature,
it has been found more practical in my
experience, to put into industry, those
things which will express the human
instincts of recreation.
eff any city should confne itself to
laxity of moral influence in their COM
mercial recreations, it is far better to
promote something good in substitution
rather than to com bat evil. Environ
ment makes little difference in all rec
reation. 1t is the type Of leadership
which determines the actual worthiness
of any activity. A game is just as big
and as worthy as the leader who directs
it, Time spent in studying leadership
for recreational purposes brings gre at
er results than time spent in studying
architecture as a means for leadership.
"There are two problems which con-
Germ most Cities he continued; "()

Pool and other games, especially cards,
are known as chance games. We find
life based on chance-taking. How many
men will get on a standing train when
there is an opportunity to board one
which has started to move? In base
ball we find our greatest stars created
through d desire to increase their abil-
ity by taking chances on bases. Bust
ness is taking chances, as are most
ether elements Of human life. Proper
direction of chance-taking is better
than censorship. t
Dancing is also natural instinct.
In past ages the cave man probably
observed swaying branches of trees and
the stirring of leaves by the wind, and
from that suggested rhythm in the eyo-
luton of dancing, we have the present
day activity. Again it IS a problem OF
proper leadership. The theatre is an
outlet for that human instinct which
compels impersonation and should be
developed as such"
