|OH|O PUPILS GIVE
PENNIES TO RELIEF
Forego Valentines to Aid Suf-
fererS in Drought Area
of State.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
COLUMBUS, Ohio, February ~
The value Of money and its equivalent
in food and clothing have never been
stretched to greater extremes than in
Southern Ohio today, so far as the
Buckeye State Is concerned.
Nineteen dollars a week is a hand
some salary, especially to a man with
a large family who had almost become
accustomed to getting along on q
quarter of that sum or less. And only
the neediest of the needy, who were
caught in the full effect of the drought
and unemployment, are getting that.
The rest are being cared for by
weekly grocery orders worth anywhere
from 81 to So through the beneficence
of the Red Cross and other organized
agencies, by gifts of clothing from those
who can afford to give, and by milk
supplies for the children.
In the same measure that State high
way resources have allevtated condi-
tons the Department Of Agriculture,
with forests and lakes to look after,
and the Department Of Public Works
are lending their aid.
And from Van Vert, a county in
Northern Ohio, come the pennies Of
school children, who have agreed to
forego the exchange of valentines this
week so they might add their bit.

Navy would be given sufficient funds
to build whatever vessels it deemed
necessary to achieve parity with Great
Britain. BY signing and ratifying the
London naval treaty the President and
the Senate were satisfied that good
deal of money would be saved to the
country and that we would have q
Navy equal to the best in the world.
without the London naval treaty, the
United States this year would have had
to provide for the laying down of (a)
two battleShips; (b) five 8-inch gun
cruisers Of the 23-cruiser program, Of
which eight were already under con-
struction, and (c) a number of destroy
ers, submarines and airplane carriers.
These auxiliary vessels would have eX-
ceeded the total under the present pro-
gram because the homogeneity of a
larger Navy would have demanded q
larger number of auxiliarieS.
Undoubtedly, the London treaty saved
the country the expense of laying down
two battleShipS. The present naval
program calls merely for one 6-inch
gun, fying-deck cruiser, an airplane
carrier of 1890 tons, 10 destroyers and
4 submarines. The total of the re-
CURED tonnage Is not larger than the
Italian naval program for 1881.
Representative French believes, how
ever, that even this expenditure Is ex-
aggerated and opposes any new construc-
ton. He also opposes the $30,000,000
necessary for the modernization of the
battleships Mississippi, Idaho and New
Mexico. According to Representative
Brttten and to experts Of the Navy
Department, modernization of these
three units is most essential for the
homogeneity of the Navy.
japan has already appropriated the
necessary funds for the moderniZation
Of number of her older ironclads; the
British government has been modern
izing the "pre-Jutland" battleship class,
and II the American Navy Is to be
really equal to either of the other two
navies in accordance with the WASH
1ngton and London naval treaties, 1t
must modernize the three Mississippi
class battleships, which were built be-
fore the importance Of airplaneS in
maritime warfare was realized by naval
constructors.
That modernization of these three bat
tleships was a paramount consideration
In the negotiations which led to the sig
nature of the London treaty can be seen
from the statements made by Secre-
tary StimSon and Admiral william v.
Pratt before the Foreign Relations Com
mittee OF the Senate. Both Admiral
Pratt and Mr.. Stimson said that with
the Idaho, the Mississippi and the New
Mexico modernized, the American Navy
could stand up to any in the world
Mr.. Stimson stated before the same
committee, less than year ago, that
In his and the opinion of naval ex-
perts the "battleship Is still the back
bone of the Navy"
Navy Department officials explained
today that without the necessary funds
70 modernize those three battleShips
the homogeneity Of our Navy would
be greatly impaired since the Battle
Fleet, an important division of our sea
strength, would fall far behind that Of
either the British or the Japanese navy

PAPERS REOPENING
AWAITS U. S. EDITOR
Publisher Of Havana American
Says Publication Closed Until
John T. Wilford Returns.
BY the Associated Press.


HAVANA, February 12.-Robert e.
Hicks, publisher of the Havana Ameri-
can, stated last night in message from
Florida the paper would remain closed
until John T. MILFORD, its deported edi-
tor, returned to guide its destintes.
Publication of the Havana American
was suspended by the Cuban govern
ment more than month ago, and an
order was issued for the deportation OF
MILFORD. He left the country before the
papers were served on him.
simultaneously with the arrival Of
Hicks in Cuba last Saturday, permis-
sion was granted through a presidential
decree for the reopening of the Havana
American, with the restriction that VIII
foTd's name was not to appear in the
masthead.
1.-THE Havana American was illegally
closed" Hicks said in his message.
"Wilford was charged with being men,
ace to Cuba in his effort to establish a
free press there. To reopen and publish
the Havana American under restrictions
of any kind would be direct admission
of guilt on his part and would mean the
destruction of the ideal Of free speech
for which he fought"

Deutschland Sunday, in the opinion Of
the captain, purser and passengers, was
suicide
Upon arrival of the ship here today
they said that at the beginning Of the
voyage he seemed quite calm, but later
became agitated and distraught. He
went to the promenade deck alone
Sunday afternoon. and while no one
saw him actually jump over the rail, the
engineer, looking from a lower portfolio,
saw him fall into the water.
He recognized the falling man as a
passenger and Immediately telephoned
the bridge that some one had fallen
overheard. The captain ordered the
ship hove to and had lifebuoy thrown
out, but Cooper had disappeared in the
choppy sea.
Nothing was found in his cabin or
baggage which would indicate a motive
for his act His effects have been sent
to his wife, who is living with their
three children at Vevey, Switzerland.

tween $5,0o0,o 900 and 100000 In the

FOGGlEST U. S. SPOT
OFF MAINE COAST
1926 Hours Of Gloom During 1880
Recorded Around Moose
Peak Lighthouse.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The foggiest spot in the United States
has now been located definitely and
the exact degree Of its gloom certified
to properly by high ofiicial authority.
It surrounds Moose Peak lighthouse,
on the northern coast Of Maine. The
Lighthouse Service, which has full
knowledge of such conditions around
the coastal United States, finds that
during the year just ended Moose Peak
experienced 1926 hours of fog, an aver
age OF four hours each day.
Two other Maine points, Libby
Island and Petit Manan, came closest
TO the Moose Peak record, but fourth
place went clear across the United
States, to Point Reyes on the Pacific
Ocean. That station oficially recorded
1888 hours of fog in 1880.
However, 1880 was not particularly a
foggy year, it appears, from scanning
the log time records of the Lighthouse
Service. In 1907, Sequin Light. an
other Maine station, actually reported
2,734 hours of fog and was required to
keep its fog horn busy one-third of
every day in the year. That is the top
notch recorded for American fog per-
sistence.

INCOME TAX FACTS.

For income tax purposes, there
can be only one head Of o
family"
A head Of a family, as defined
by income tax regulations, is a
person who actually supports
and maintains in one household
one or more persons who are
closely connected with him Cor
herr by blood relationship, rela-
tionship by marriage, or by adop-
ton, and whose right to exercise
family control and provide for
these dependent individuals is
based upon some moral or legal
obligation" Such person Is
granted the same personal ex-
emption of $500 allowed a mar
ried person. Also, he may claim
a credit of $500 for each depend
ent, If the dependent IS under
Ii years of age or incapable Of
Self-Support because mentally or
physically defective.
The term mentally or phySi-
cally defective" includes not only
cripples and those mentally de-
4CCO4fCp bAt SCA oO4AAS IL Al 44CehAt44
or the aged. Thus, single man
who supports in his home an
aged mother and two sisters IL
and Is years Of age is entitled
to a total exemption and credit
Of $4,700. The $400 credit, how
ever, does not apply to husband
or wife, though one may be
totally dependent upon the other.
It should be remembered that
every single person, whether or
not the head Of family, is re-
quired to file an income tax re-
turn If his or her net income
for 1880 was 81 500 or more. The
fact that the exemption may ex.
coed the net income does not
obviate this requirement.
Not infrequently returns are
received from two or more men,
bers of a family, each claiming
the exemption Of $500 as the
head" The exemption can be
granted only to one person and
il cannot be divided.

will pay the lawyers debts. but he has
. legal opinion that this money Is not
due to England under the heaolns OF
the treaty or any ether way.
Mr. de Valera urges that this money
should be retained for the benefit Of
the community and that 1t would give
the Irish Free State every year sum
TO finance an enterprise as big as the
Shannon River electricity scheme. He
argues that the derating policy Of the
British has relieved farmers in Great
Britain and Northern Ireland of rates
which South Ireland farmers still have
10 pay, and that this is handicap TO
the Free State farmers in market COM
petition. The money now being sent to
Great Britain would solve the derating
problem.
The Free State governments answer
TO Mr.. De Valera, as stated by Finance
Minister Ernest Blythe, is that the
land installment annuities do not 60
into the British exchequer. The money
for Irish land purchase was raised by
land stock taken u by individuals and
the installments pay their interest, ac-
cording to the minister. Mr.. De
Valera's proposal, says Mr.. Blythe, is
an attempt TO force British taxpayers
in the present bad conditions to pay
Sl5,O00,OO0 year from Irish farmers
undertook TO pay when they signed
their purchase contracts.
Sees Trouble In Scheme.
II the Free State now withheld this
money, Mr.. Blythe suggests, the British
could easily collect Il by imposing q
levy on the Free States agricultural
produce and might even have govern
naent which would use its navy TO pre-
vent ships from calling at any but q
couple Of Irish ports and might land
sufdcient troops to control the dock
areas and levy taxation suf1cient To
meet its bill on all goods coming into
these docks.
The argument Of the Cosgrave gov.
eminent Is partly that If the country
recalls It and installs Mr.. De Valera
the result viii be serious and unprofit.

Tries to End Life

Trick in Meat Shop

oS Vic hSsOCihteu ETcSh.
CHICAGO, February 1.-THE
manner in which the scales were
operated in the butcher shop
where he was employed weighed
so heavily on his mind that Fred
Baes tried to kill himself, he told
Judge Edelman, before whom he
was arraigned after his land
lord rescued him from q gas-flled
room.
Baes said the practice in the
shop was for the butcher to put
his hand on the scale to short
weight customers, and that this
preyed on his mind so that he
no longer cared to live. The
Judge considered q 500 fine, but
later decided that Baes could go
free on probation on his promise
not to try self-extermination any
more.
