It's School Time For Child Workers;
What To Teach Them Is The Problem
u,y Associates press,

What to teach the children
whom the national recovery pro-
gram is turning from labor into
the classroom is a challenging con-
sideration in some of the eastern
industrial states.
1t appears, for example, in Penn
sylvania, where educators are plan
ming to fit into its public school
system $4,000 boys and girls from
factories and mills, as well as in
Connecticut where provision must
be made for 1000 girls and boys
released from labor.
Vocational Training Planned
In Pennsylvania special pro-
grams combining vocational train.
ing with academic studies are
being devised at time when state
and local school finances are low
Connecticut's 1000 potential
new pupils could be returned to
school without requiring addition
81 teachers or equipment, says N
s. Light, director of the field
service of the board of education.
Girls Eager To Work
In most cases, he and other
state education officials asserted,
the girls in particular left school
because they hated the classroom
and were anxious to get out and
make money" even if only few
dollars week.
Marcus Marks, who is in charge
of the New Haven district, said he
had talked to many girls who said
they were girls who t'just manag-
ed to pass the eighth grade" and
now that they have lost their jobs
because their employers are sun
der CODE" they were going to
stay home and do homework rath-
er than go back to school with
children many years younger.
Children Support Parents
He added that in other cases,
protests came from parents. who
had come to depend on the earn
ings of their children.
Marks cited the case of one
father. who said his daughter lost
a job in shirt factory where she
earned SIS a week. the sole sup
port of family Of 10. The faith
er obtained a job at the same fac
tory, but was dismissed after a
few weeks as he could earn only
So week.
Child labor, Connecticut records
show. has decreased steadily in re-
cent years. The peak was reached
during the world war period when
there were 1874 children hold
ing work certificates in Connect
cut compared with 1000 on July
l, 1888.

Velocity OF Wind Here
Recorded Between SIS
And so Miles An Hour ;
Most Damage To Trees

He oIuIIIl Ol yesterday
and last night has passed
and today Key West is
bathed in glorious sunshine
with gentle breezes and only
a few scattered clouds to
show that d gale had visited
the city "a hours earlier.
However, there was a
great deal of damage to
trees, shrubs and vines. The
greatest loss was experienced
by the owners of the hun
dreds of fruit trees in vari-
GUS parts of the city.
Much Fruit Lost
1t is estimated that thousands
of avocados were destroyed when
they fell from the trees to the
ground and other fruits suffered
from the winds which at times
reached velocity estimated at
between 55 and go miles an hour.
Many beautiful trees were snap
ped off in the heavy gusts and to
estimate the value Of these can not
be attempted, as some Of the most
beautiful and luxuriant growers
were uprooted or snapped off by
the wind. A number of these were
prolific fruit bearers.
There was very little other
damage sustained by property
owners. In some instances fenc-
es were blown down, here and
there a sign board was flattened.
Some Of the small wharves we're
damaged and two were swept
away.
F'Iimsy roofs were stripped in
some sections of the city but no
roofs suffered that we're built of
sound material, ii is said. Actual
damage to property in its entire
ty will not, it is believed, exceed
$500.
One Boat Swept Away
Along the water front the boats
had been secured the day previous
and none of them were lost or bad

TAX LOOPHOLES
To Be CLOSED
To WEALTHY
Capital Gains and Loss Pro.
vision Called Aid to U. S.
Despite Morgan Case
By international News Service

Retention of the capital gains
and loss provisions of the Federal
income tax laws-which helped
j. P. Morgan to escape income
tax in this country while paying
in England-has been recon-
mended to the House Ways and
Means investigation sub-commit-
tee by tax experts.
Although the committee be-
lieves it can close many loop
holes which lightened the tax
burden of Morgan, Charles E.
Mitchell, and others its experts
have reported that repeal of the
capital gains and loss provision
would aid the rich instead Of the
Government.
How Provision Works
Under this provision. an in
crease in capital assets as dis
tinguished from ordinary income
is taxable. Likewise, if there is
capital loss, such as selling
stock or real estate at less than
cost, it may be deducted in maxi
ing income tax returns.
Representative Vinson CD Of
Kentucky, member of the in
vestigating subcommittee, said:
"There is strong propaganda
for repeal of the capital gains
and loss provisions. They are
using the Morgan episode, say
ing he paid no tax here while
he paid in England as an argu-
ment.
'The real reason is, however,
that many wealthy people be-
lieve that our worst days are
behind us. They believe business
will improve, and there will be
heavy capital gains. If the law
is repealed, they will escape
tax"
The capital gains and loss pro-
vision, according to experts, is
one reason for income taxes
rising to extraordinary amounts
during the stock market boom
period and then sinking almost
to nothing during the depression.
Curb on Salaries Urged
Among the proposals being con-
sidered by the investigating body
is limitation upon the amount
of salaries that can be deducted
by corporations in computing
their tax. Experts claim many
corporations, by paying out their
earnings in salaries instead Of
taxes, escape millions of dollars
in taxes.
Legislation to prevent corpora
tions from escaping taxes by Jug
Cling their capital through other
corporations and distribution Of
dividends under the name Of
capital assets also is being con-
Sidered.

Sauant Reveals
What Makes
Us Sleep

CHICAGO, June 26 G.N.S0.
Sleepiness is caused by an accu-
mutation of "hypnotoxin" fluid
in the brain, it was explained
today by DR.. Henri Pieron, OF
the University of Paris.
DR.. Pieron said he succeeded
in taking a fluid from the
brains of fatigued animals. In
jecting this into wideawake ami
mails, they Immediately became
drowsy and fell into a doze.
The hypnotoxin gathers in
the brain during waking hours
and gradually seeps into the
spinal column, inducing sleepi-
ness, he explained. 1t is burned
away during sleep.
DR.. Pieron is here for the con-
vention of the American Asso-
citation for the Advancement Of
Science.
