The past six months" Mr.. Lauter
said, represent period absolutely I'M
paralleled In the history of Washing
toms water system. The Geological
Survey tells US that the Potomac River
Is now down TO its minimum now, SUBJ

watershed. This has changed us from
saltwater system to q hard-water
system, although our water Is still far
from hard" in the sense that some
of the Western systems are.
Controlling such supply by chemi-
cal means has complicated problems.
For instance, the hardness of the water
does not vary directly with the amount
Of lime present. Put in q little lime,
and you may soften hard water. Add a
little more, and you have soft water
again. Still a little more, and the
water becomes hard. With q water
supply OF constant quality, the right
proportions Of all the chemicals used in
treatment may readily be ascertained.
But with a water supply Of changing
quality, the problem Is quite dificult
These problems, however, are being
met. We can say that Washington has
one of the purest water systems in the
country, and that the purity of the
water today is as high as ever. There

INCOME TAX FACTS.
No. IL.

To the man whose income con-
sists principally Of salary, wages,
or fees for professional services,
tax return should present little
difficulty. The revenue act pro-
vides that there shalr be included
in gross income all compensation
for personal services actually
rendered" This includes salaries,
wages, commissions, bonuses and
tips. In the case of the lawyer,
physician, architect, dentist, ac-
countant, or other professional
man, it includes all fees and other
compensation for professional SER
vices. A clergyman Is required to
report marriage fees and bap-
tismal offerings.
Where services are paid for in
something other than money, the
fair market value of the thing
taken in payment is the amount
to be reported as income. II the
services we're rendered at
stipulated price. such price, in the
absence Of evidence to the con-
trary. is presumed to be the fair
market value of the compensa-
ton received. Notes, or other
evidences of indebtedness re-
ceived in payment for services
and not merely as security. for
such payment, constitute income
to the amount of their fair market
value. II the note is or can be
discounted on a 6 per cent basis,
the recipient should include the
note in his gross income to the
amount Of its face value less
discount.
Where the taxpayer reports his
income on the cash receipts and
disbursement basis, compensation
for services rendered is generally
taxable for the year in which
received, regardless of when the
services were rendered. However,
compensation constructively re-
ceived also must be included
where the cash basis is used.
Compensation credited to the ac-
count of the taxpayer, which
may be drawn upon by him at
any time. is subject to the tax for
the year during which so credited,

duced 10 possession.

ALFONSO WARNED
| IN CABINET CHOICE
Constitutional Party Demands
All Factions Be Recog-
nized in Ministry.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
MADRID, February 1.-THE year.
old cabinet Of Premier Berenguer hav-
ing resigned today, forced to this action
by countrywide opposition to its cleo
toral program. King Alfonso set about
the difncult task Of forming another
ministry.
He met with q serious obstacle, how
ever, when the powerful Constitutional
party announced that it would not par
ticipate in any government that did
not include all political factions. The
King had at first planned a "concen-
tratiop" ministry of royalist leaders.
Thus, unless Alfonso agrees to Q
national" cabinet embracing Republic
cans, Socialists and other groups, he
apparently faces a ministry composed
largely Of liberal party leaders, with
perhaps some conservatives.
This Would Leave Some Miffed.
This would leave the Socialists, Re-
publicans and Constitutionalists as dis
gruntled as they were when Premier
Berenguer was in power, according TO
political observers.
OoHIC uIAHIdIy SIOupo we're even re-
ported tonight to be considering the
possibility of another dictatorship.
They were represented, however. as
being willing to give the politicians
until Monday to find a solution.
The decision Of the Constitutionalist
party not to support the concentra-
ton cabinet was conveyed to the King
by its leaders. Sanchez Guerra and
Melquiades Alvarez, the latter also
chief Of the Reformist group.
Alvarez told the monarch that In his
opinion the only solution Of the crisis
lay in constitutional convention with
q power superior to and independent of
the King"
Admiral Axnar Called.
In the meantime Alfonso had sent
1urriedly to Cartagena for Admiral Juan
Bautista Aznar, who was mentioned
prominently as a possible choice to sue
coed Gen. Berenguer. Admiral Aznar
was minister Of the navy when Primo
de Rivera seized the power In 1928, but
recently had not participated in parti-
san politics.
The admiral left Cartagena within
an hour after receiving the Kings tele-
gram, but declined to say anything
about the political situation.
Admiral Aznar occupies the highest
post in the Spanish Navy. When Primo
de Rivera brought about the downfall
Of the government headed by Garcia
Prieto, September IS. 1923, Aznar was
minister of the navy. At that time he
showed desire to oppose the Rivera
dictatorship with the Spanish Navy, but
the government declined his offer be-
cause of q Discrimination for civil war.
Admiral Aznar has liberal leanings,
although he has never figured in active
politics. He always has had the marked
affection Of the King, with whom he
has been in the greatest confidence.
Whatever the makeup Of the new
government, it Is generally believed that
one Of its detectives will be general
amnesty for all prisoners charged with
participation in last years unsuccessful
revolt.
The Liberals hold that by granting
political amnesty all parties may be
induced to forget the past and unite
for the interests Of the country.

ANEMIA HELD CURED
BY METALIZED MILK
Atlanta Professor Says Iron and
Copper degenerate Hema-
globin in Liquid.

BY the Associated Press.
MACON. Ga, February 14.-Dr. J. L.
McGhee, head Of the department of
chemistry at Emory University, Atlanta,
told the Georgia Academy Of Science
here today that series of experiments
has led him to conclude raw milk ex-
posed to iron and copper will correct
anemic conditions.
Copper and iron are the two ele-
mentS which seem to regenerate hema-
globin in metalized milk" he said. II
haven't used the word cure and don't
propose to. I am just presenting the
facts that we arrived at through q
series Of experiments"
He said the experiments were tried
on a large number Of rats, which had
been reduced to "a serve anenic con-
dition," and it was found in every case
that "the hemaglobin was regenerated
by use of the milk in which polished
strips of copper and iron had been left
for several hours in a cool tempera-
ture."
He did not indicate whether his ref
erence was to pernicious or secondary
anemia.

GANDH| OPENS WAY
TO PEACE IN INDIA
Asks Viceroy Lord Irwin to
Confer on Settlement of
Long Dispute.
BY the Associated Press.

ALLAHABAD, India, February IA
Peace in India tonight seemed meas
urably nearer than at any time since
the present civil disobedience move
ment began nearly q year ago.
Mahatma Gandhi, the Indian Ma
tionalist leader, made q dramatic
gesture today, when it seemed that
India would be torn with strife, agita-
ton and economic decline indefinitely,
by announcing that he had written q
letter to the viceroy, Lord Irwin, asking
for an opportunity of talking the whole
situation over in a spirit Of candor and
friendship.
Extremists Are Surprised.
The gesture brought the apparently
aimless sessions Of the Congress Party
Working Committee, which had been
discussing the situation brought about
by Premier Ramsay MacDonald's peace
proposals, to q close and took extrem-
ist members of the party by surprise.
All saw in it, however, a chance for
ultimate settlement and also o means
of their avoiding q return to prison
which only yesterday they confessed
was inevitable II the Macdonald pro-
posals were rejected and the fight
against the government continued.
It was expected here that Lord Irwin
would invite Gandhi to New Delhi on
Monday or Tuesday, and that the ensu-
ing conference might prove the prelude
to q permanent peace.
Asked by the correspondent after to-
days conference what the conditions
for peace would be in his conversation
with the viceroy, Gandhi reduced them
all from his previous elaborate IL points
to one simple demand.
Wants Salt Rights.
That was: Restoration Of conditions
as they existed prior to the civil dis
obedience movement plus the right of
Indians to make their own salt, dis
courage the sale of foreign cloth and
block the sale Of liquors and narcotics. -
This one comprehensive phrase, the
nahatma added, would save the neces-
sity Of going into elaborate details.
Although the Working Committee Of
the Congress at its final session today
ordered the civil disobedience movement
continued undated, it was regarded as
certain that Gandhi would officially call
of the campaign, If. as appeared likely,
the viceroy would release political
prisoners serving terms for non-violent
offenseS.
Such an agreement by the two men,
1t was generally felt here, would leave
the path to peace open and clear, for
compromises and agreements could be
made respecting other points In dispute.

treasurer

A small, charming woman, with
soft southern accent, Iauded "Jeffer-
sonian, Jacksonian and Wilsonian"
principles Of democracy Thursday in
an address before members and
guests OF the State Women's Demo-
cratic Club following board meet
ing and luncheon at the Claypool.
The woman was Mrs. Emma Guy
Cromwell, treasurer Of sta5e Of Ken
lucky.
She was dressed in black satin
suit, with an ecru lace vest, q black
hat with q small briln framing her
face, and wore corssge of gar
denias, the gift of the club. AND
she deprecatingly likened herself to
Tennyson's babbling brook that
babbled on and on forever.
Mrs. Cromwell is first a woman
then a Democrat. And her loyalty
is to her party. Her creed is "equaI
justice for all, and special privileges
to none" and she stands firmly in
the belief that the adoption Of these
democratic principles by officials ot
the nation would bring prosperity
and happiness to the country.
The party in power is responsible
for conditions" Mrs. Cromwell said
And when the Office holders fee
their responsibility we will have bet
ter penal institutions, better law en-
forcement, better everything.
