fight over the mountains. To get
over the Brooks Range, Capt. wilkins
said, the planes will have to reach an
elevation of 10000 feet and forced
landing in the mountains would mean
a long hike for the flyers.
One of the smaller Detroit planes,
said to be easier to maneuver and
land on ice, will be used by Capt.
wilkins and Eielson in the flights 600
miles out over the polar basin. The
explorer plans to make landings on
Ice, take soundings of ocean depths
and thus determine the likelihood of
the existence Of land nearby and it's
probable direction.
Determination of the direction of
polar ocean currents is another i'm
portant objective of the expedition.
Trip Held Perilous.
ITO make these observations, said
Capt Wilkins, 'it will be necessary to
land on the ice. We will take chances
of making safe landing and take-off
after we get our observations. Such
operations, Of course, are exceedingly
precarious. Consequently we are 60
ing fully prepared to foot it out, go
with the ice flow across the polar
area to Siberia, or wherever we can
strike land, and live chiefly on the
game we can find on the way"
THE two planes left at Point Bar
row will be prepared to bring aid to
us in case we can keep our radio
sending outfit in operation" Capt.
wilkins said. 'It would be utterly
foolish. however, for a relief party to
set out If we are unable to radio our
position"
If contact is lost for more than two
days the supporting party left at
Point Barrow will be under orders to
return to Fairbanks, leaving Capt.
Wilkins and Eielson to foot it out
IL their plane is unable to take off.
Given a chance to get out over the
unexplored area of the Arctic" Capt.
wilkins said, "Eielson and l should
be able to make some contribution to
science, whether we do this In six
weeks, travelling by plane back and
forth, or in two or three years on
foot"

BOOTLEG DEGREES
Council Official DepIores In

Term university"

Unless the indiscriminate ice or
the term university" is halted, the
letters which signify a university de-
gree will soon mean practically moth
ing, David Allan Robertson. assistant
director of the American Council on
National Education, said in an address
before the Federal Schoolmen's Club
at it's monthly dinner meeting at the
Lee House last night. Mr.. Robertson
deplored the "bootlegging' of degrees,
and feared that it would soon become
necessary to define q degree by plac-
ing after it the name of the fnstitu-
ton by which 1t was granted.
Mr.. Robertson praised the exposure
made by The Evening Star of the
ease with which a university may in
corporate and issue degrees in Wash
ington. He declared that some means
of checking the activities of the
educational underworld must be found
If the letters A. B., NJ. A. and the rest
are to continue to mean something.
Mr.. Robertson spoke on the sub
ject, whats What in Education"
He stressed the need for standardized
Technology in education and said
that lack of accepted definitions for
various terms used in educational in
situations has led to confusion and
misunderstanding among educational
institutions of this country and Eng
land. He declared that some standard
Of Technology was necessary to bring
about the adoption of the same
scholarship standards in all univer-
stiles and colleges.
Mr.. Robertson pointed out several
terms such as seminal" research, -
unit" university" and "thesis,"
which he said mean one thing in one
institution and another thing in an
other.
About seventy-hve members of the
club attended the business meetings
and dinner. DIR. Henry Grattan Doyle,
president Of the club, presided.

Income Tax Problems
Simplified for All
No. 20.

No. 20.
While ordinarily the basis of de-
termining taxable gain or deductible
loss Is cost, certain exceptions are pro-
vided by the revenue act of 1925.
One is that If the property has been
included in the Taxpayers last in
ventory, the basis shall be the last
inventory value thereof. In order to
reflect the net income correctly, inven-
tories at the beginning and end of
each year are necessary in every case
in which the production purchase, or
sale of merchandise is an income-pro-
ducing factor. The inventory should
include raw materials and supplies on
hand that have been acquired for sale,
consumption or use in productive proc
esses, together with all finished or
partly finished goods. Only merchan-
disc title to which is vested in the
taxpayer should be included in the
inventory.
If the property was acquired by gift
after December 81, 1920. the basis Is
the same as it would be in the hands
of the donor, or last preceding owner
by whom 1t was not received by gift.
For example, a man in 1921 bought
stock In a corporation at 800 share,
kept 1t until January, 1922, when It
was worth $120. and then gave it to
his son, who. in 1925, gave it to his
wife, the stock then being worth $50
a share. If in 1925 the wife sold the
stock at 5000 q share the taxable gain
is not $50, but 500 share, the gain
over the cost to the preceding owner,
who did not acquire the stock by gift.
In computing the gain or loss from
the sale or other disposition of prop
erty acquired by gift or transfer In
trust on or before December 81, 1920,
or by bequest, devise, or Inheritance,
the basis is the fair market value of
such property at the time of acquisi-
ton. For example, a taxpayer re-
ceived in 1919 gift of real estate
having fair market value of $4,000,
which he sold in 1926 for $4,000
The original cost to the donor was
$4,000. The taxable gain, however,
is $4,000.

FLOGGERS' VICTIM
HELD IN SLAY|NGS
Brother-in-LaW of Murdered
Woman Taken in Hunt
for ASSaiIants.

by the A5SoCtAteO
ATLANTA, Ga, February s.
Sought as the reported victim of fog
gers, whom pelice are attempting to
connect with the Staying Friday OF
Mrs. Lottie Bell Ingram ana ner
infant. Newton Ingram, her Brother
Flaw. was arrested today at GrliIln
near here and brought to detective
Headquarters, where he was held IN
communicate for questioning
Ingram who recently was married
to q widow of 20 years his senior, de-
spite, authorities were told, vigorous
objection by the brides family, was
taken from the home of his brother
in-law by four men on the night of
January 81 and severely whipped, &C.
cording to police reports.
Mrs Ingram was said to have recog-
nized two of his assailants, and de-
tectives said they were investigating
the theory that Mrs. Ingram and
her baby were slain by a member of
the whipping gang who feared ex-
posture at her hands.
A. b. Van Diver, %, a son of New
ton Migrants wife, is one of four other
men held on a blanket charge of sus-
picion.
A coroner's jury heard testimony
in the case today but adjourned until
next week without returning a YER
dict. Meanwhile the police sought to
identify a mysterious nocturnal caller
at the Ingram home who was heard
by a neighbor to knock on the door
early Friday and be admitted by Mrs.
Ingram after explaining that he had
been sent there by her husband to
spend the night because "the law"
was after him.
Burney Ingram, the husband, who
was employed at a cotton mill at
night, returned home early that morn.
ing as was his custom to find his
20-year-old wife in bed with her skull
crushed and by her side their IL
month-old baby, who had been stran-
gled to death. A. blood-stained fiat
iron and a piece of cord lying nearby
bespoke mute evidence of the tragedy.
