Swedish Girls Leave
 Country Jobs to Men

STOCKHOLM, April A. The Swedish country lassies are leaving the farms and finding employment in the cities, as servant maids or office clerks. Their places are be- ing filled with men who have to do such unmasculine chores as house work
 Even the inns in rural districts are feeling this lack of feminine help and are employing boys as dish washers. The employment agen- cies in Stockholm, Gothenburg, and other cities are constantly placing young men in such positions in the country, the girls preferring to stay in the big towns.

CHURCH UNION PLANS
FOR COOPERATION
BaltimGSe Protestant Denomina-
tons to Unite in Evangelistic
Program-40 Groups Formed.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
BALTIMORE, January 5.-The Gre
ating of districts for the city's Pro-
testant churches for community CO.
operation as q part of the evangelistic
program adopted by the Ministerial
Union of Baltimore has just been COM
p:eted, it was announced this week by
the Baltimore Federation of Churches.
The congregations of the city and
adjacent suburbs have been classified
INTO about 40 contiguous groups, each
having resident pastor as a "con-
veneer. who is TO call together the
ncighboring clergymen for discussion of
their particular problems.
Among the suggestions offered for the
district programs are canvasses to dis
cover the non-chuEch members; stimuli
taneouS viSitations of those believed AL
ready interested; weekly or nightly
series OF union evangelistic services: in
Struction in church classes as a pre-
paration for membership, and a "co-
ordinate calendar of specific emphasis
Ior successive Sundays in Lent as well
as devotional topics for midweek meet
ings.

unified evangelistic effort.
Other suggestions for the evangelistic
schedule include the meeting of prayer
groups in the homes of church people
to which all neighbors are invited; Cow
enantS for private unison of interces-
-lon, and program for identical Bible

TAX REFUND FIGHT
WAGED IN HOUSE
Treasury Approves $26, 000,-
600 Item for Steel Corpora
ton; Hits Other Claims.
BY the Associated Press.


The Treasury advocates the return of
$4,000, 900 in taxes to the United States
Steel Corporation and it opposes the
re- olution proposing that the Govern
ment give 26 States 100000 900 in
taxes alleged to have been illegally COL
lected from 1866 to 1863
This and the fact that the House
appropriations committee approved
SIS, 0OO, 900 item for tax refunds in the
first deficiency bill were the principal
developments yesterday when the ques-
ton of tax refunds bobbed up from two
sources The approval of the item in
the deficiency bill came after an UNI
successful fight by Representative Gar
ner of Texas to launch an investigation
of tax refund settlements.
Assistant Secretary's View.
Assistant Secretary Bond of the
Treasury, in teStifying before the ap-
preparations committee, said the settle
ment with the United States Steel Cor
poration, if accepted, would be in lieu
of claim for $161 900, 900 made by the
corporation. The hearing before the
appropriation committee also disclosed
that the Treasury since 1917 had COL
lected 4,061 ,769, 209 in back taxes, but
that it had refunded in that time $685.
012,356.
In opposing the claim by the States
for $200,000,000 in direct taxes, Secre-
tary Mellon in letter to the commit
tee said that several hundred millions
of dollars would be needed to settle
all claims for Illegally collected direct
taxes since 1868 and that it was doubt
full if any accurate record of the claims
by the States could be produced.
Charges Injustice to States.
Senator Stephens of Mississippi. one
of the leaders in the fight for refund
ing. said the States had been treated
unjustly and argued that the Govern
ment should pay the debt.
Representative Garner, in seeking an
investigation of tax refunds, criticized
the Treasury for its settlements of tax
refunds claimed by the Aluminium Co.
of America. Garner said that in 1921
the company got refund of 1921 900
and a credit of 5000
II do not know who owns the Alum
mum Co. of Aemrica." he declared.
but if the Secretary of the Treasury
did own it and his own company made
report in 1917 that it owed that much
taxes and he comes along in 1928 under
the general provisions of law that you
can settle as you please regardless
of the law, and gives them back ST.
100000, somebody ought to look
into it." p.

COURTHOUSE PLANS
HELD IN AbEYANCE
Big Montgomery Courthouse
Not Needed, Senator Jones
Tells Conference.
Special Dispatch to The Star,

ROCKVILLE, Md. January S.
Whether Montgomery County is to have
a $45O,000 courthouse and Jail on a
somewhat larger site than that of the
present structure has not yet been de-
termined. At conference here yeSter-
day afternoon, participated in by the
county'S representatives in the Legisla-
ture, the courthouse building commit
tee, the county commissioners and the
courthouse architects, it was decided
that if the more elaborate structure is
to be built the site would have to be
enlarged by the purchase of about half
of the block Immediately to the West,
which would neceSsitate showing Court
street to the west and moving back
number of buildings.
No legislation authorizing the bond
issue is possible unless favored by Dr.
Eugene Jones, who represents the
county in the State Senate.
Opposed by Senator.
At a conference two weeks ago, at
tended by those present yesterday, DR..
Jones declined to commit himself until
he studied the situation, aScertained
the county's total bonded Indebtedness
and whether 1t was in a position to
stand more of the kind proposed and
learned how the taxpayers feel about
It,"
II am going to begin this session by
opposing this extra bond ISSUE" de-
clared DR.. Jones, in statement read
at the conference yesterday, II do not
believe it is necessary and I shall en-
deavor to treat all other requests for
more bond issues the same way If they
do not appeal to me more strongly than
the proposition we have before us.
I'm taking stand for reduction
Of taxes" continued DR.. Jones, II am
reasonably sure the majority of tax
payers of this county are in sympathy
with me-"
It was evident that DR.. Jones' opposi-
ton to the proposed $45o,ooo building
was Que to some extent to feeling that
such large building on the present
courthouse site would be mon
strosity," and when the idea of obtain
ing additional land was developed the
State Senator manifested interest, but
let 1t be understood that he would not
favor such a program if it meant an
increase in the tax rate, or, in fact, II
1t would prevent decrease in the rate.
Another Conference Set.
1t was decided to hold another con-
ference next Friday.
Yesterdays conference, like that Of
two weeks ago, was attended by Robert
G.. Hilton, Judge Robert B. Peter, Pres
ton B. Ray, Berry E. Clark, DR.. Benja-
min c. Perry, Clagett C. Hilton and
