|NCURABLES' HOME
IS OPEN TO PUBLIC
President to Show Visitors
Through Institution
Tomorrow.

An opportunity for the public to
obtain first-hand information OF the
accomplishments of the Home for In
curables, Wisconsin avenue and Upton
street, will be provided tomorrow after
noon when open house will be observed.
The visitors will be shown through
the building and grounds by Mrs. Archi-
bald Hopkins, president, and members
of the board of managers. Every
effort will be made to give the men and
women attending the open house an in.
sight into the charitable activities OF
the institution.
Had Modest Beginning.
The Washington home was incor-
porated by q small group of women
March 6, 1889. It had modest begin
ming in Mount Pleasant with only five
patients. A few years later Miss Bessie
j. Kibbey gave $4,000 for establish
ment of new home at Thirty second
and 8 streets. This building was occu-
pied from 1898 until 1924.
More than $562,00 all contributed
by public spirited citizens, then was
expended in building the present home
and hospital. A majority of the 100
patients now cared for have private
rooms. There are few larger rooms
for patients nervous when alone. Dur
ing the building of the new home all
legacies received were applied to the
construction fund.
The institutions endowment fund has
grown since that time to more than
$40, 900, with many other legacies In
prospect The income from the en-
dowment source, pay patients and an
nual gifts generally falls about $4,000
short of the sum necessary to finance
maintenance. This deficit usually Is
wiped out by unexpected donations.
Starting with occasional contributions
of 81 600 to $4,000, the Government has
appropriated $4,000 annually for the
home in recent years:
No Fixed Rate for Patients.
There Is no fixed rate for pay pa
tientS, their offerings depending en-
tirely on their financial capacity. While
no pressure ever is brought to bear on
the unfortunate to force them to sup.
port themselves In whole or in part,
many of the patients have found it
more self-respecting to pay even trifle.
In spite OF new rooms added recently,
the home has waiting list of %. In
cluded among the 100 patients are II.
who occupy all of one wing. All of
these are suffering from cancer. Their
bed rooms are bright, they have porches,
small living rooms and diet Kitchens.
This is the only institution Of its kind
between Pittsburgh; Philadelphia and
Atlanta which takes care Of inoperable
cancer patients.

GARNER ATTACKS
STEEL TAX REFUND
Says Treasury Rule Erro-
neouS-CaSes Should
Go to Courts.

Representative Garner, Democrat, of
Texas, minority leader in the House, who
has been an arch foe Of the Treasury
policy in awarding refunds in income
taxes, yesterday charged in a statement
that the Treasury was guilty Of gross
recent United States Steel Corporation
case to the courts. The corporation OBJ
tanned about a $33,000,000 tax refund.
Asserting that the Government lost at
least 100000 and possibly $4,000, 900
as a result, the Texan said the Amer
lean taxpayers were entitled to demand
that tax refund matters be adjudicated
by the conrts.
In his statement Garner attacked the
method of the Treasury, declaring the
rule. by which the refunds were made
to the steel corporation was erroneous
in principle and that halt should be
called.
He. noted that his resolution to au-
thorize an investigation of the Treas
had not been considered by the House
rules committee, to which 1t had been
referred.
1t was evident, Garner said, from a
recent decision by the United States
Court of Claims in the Packard Motor
Car Co. case against the Government,
that loss of 100000 occurred in
the steel corporation refund on 1918
taxes, as, he added, the same issues
were involved.
Application of the same principles
to the $4,000, 600 refund to the United
States Steel Corporation on 1917 taxes
would have saved the Government
$4,000, 000," the Texan continued. I'm
my opinion the Treasury Department
has been guilty of gross negligence in
its failure to bring those controverted
matters into the courts.
The steel corporations refund was
based on an opinion of former Solicitor
Alexander Gregg Of the Internal Reve-
niue Bureau, who, Garner said, later
declined to approve 1t.
