WASHINGTON, Jan. 25. - Mrs.
Henry T. Rainey is achieving rep
utaticn which she doesn't deserve
her, but since her memory is none
too good there's nothing she can
do about it.
The trouble started innocently
enough when Mrs. Rainey met the
young girl who played Alice in Won
derland in a recent movie. Mrs.
Rainey thought it would be nice for
Alice to meet her husband, speaker
of the house, at tea. That was ar
ranged and Mr.. and Mrs. Rainey
found Alice charming.
A few weeks later Mrs. Rainey
ran across an inspirational poem
and Immediately thought of Alice,
SO she copied the poem and sent it
to Hollywood. There Alice took the
poem to the newspaper in Los An
geles which cerdited Mrs. Rainey
with being its author. The head.
lines make her blush.

ROVER SAVED
IN RIVER FOG

Sand bars-bane of river pilots,
proved a boon to John Bryant,
20-year-old dredge worker of
Alexandria, last night.
Bryant set out in a rowboat for
his dredge, intending to sleep
aboard. AS he rowed across the
Potomac from Cameron Wharf
to the dredge, anchored near the
Maryland shore, a heavy fog
set in.
The dredgeman rowe d-and
roWed-and rowed. First he headed
for the dredge. Then he sought
Shore-any shore. Finally after
more than two hours he ran onto
the sandbar. He stepped out n.
push off thr boat 2pd baGGame

Gardner "Brother") Arnold,
veteran riverman, heard his shouts
as he stood on his houSeboat at
the Alexandria waterfront. So did
Alexandria police, who set out in

direction. He extricated Bryant
from his sandbar and set him out
on the right track. The police
arrived shortly thereafter, and
had difficulty in finding their
way back.

Adult Illiteracy in District
Shows ia Per Cent Drop

The ten-year change in the II
literacy figure for the District
shows a decline of 1874 persons
in 1880 as compared with the
1920 figure, or a percentage re-
duction Of IA per cent Of the to-
tai population.
In 1880, the colored illiterates
numbered 4,489, or 81 per cent OF
the total colored population,
There were 1928 colored litter
ates in 1920, or 10.7 per cent OF
the colored population.
Adult white illiterateS in 1890
numbered 1894, or a percentage
figure of Al, as compared with
the 1920 total of 2,284 or IA per
cent.
The high colored illiteracy rate
is due to the large number of
negroes migrating from the
South, where they are not given
a proper education.
No mention has been made Of
the red and yellow races, the
American Indians, Chinese and
Japanese, illiterate population in
the District, but investigation led
to the disclosure that there were
73 such unclassified illiterates in
1890.

BERLIN, Jan. 8.-Instead of
being an obstacle in his pugilistic
career, the beautiful film star wife
of Max Schmeling declared today,
che must and shall go" to Amer
lea to battle king" Levinsky in
Chicago next month.
On the screen Mrs. Schmeling
is Amy Ondra. Her assertion to-
day quashes persistent rumors
that she wanted her man, who
was the former heavyweight cham
pion, to stay out of the ring for
ever. She said:
Il hate him to 60 away for a
long time, but 1 would never
interfere with his business.
Schmeling is scheduled to sail
Friday on the trip to Chicago,
where he hopes to stage a fighting
comeback.
He made light of rumors that
Chancellor Adolf Hitler had for.
hidden the match on the grounds
that Levinsky is Jew.
"Just nonsense" Schmeling
said, referring to the rumor.

Adult illiteracy in the District
c. Columbia is on the wane, if
figures of the last census are a
criterion, but nevertheless it has
been deemed necessary to provide
classes for adult illiterates. These
will begin about the end of the
month, District school officials
hope.
DR.. Frank w. Ballou, superin-
tendent of schools, who has been
Instrumental in obtaining allot-
ments from the Federal Emer-
gency Relief Administration to
employ unemployed teachers to
instruct the illiterateS, said today
that he has list of names and
addresses of residents of the Dis
trict whose applications for admis-
sion to night schools and the
Americanizat!on school were
turned down.
These persons will be asked to
attend the classes, DR.. Ballou
said.
According to the 1880 census,
the total of adult illiterates,
white and colored, was 6,456, or
1.9 per cent of the total popula-
ton of the District. The total in
1920 was 10,190, or 3.3 per cent
of the population.

EVADERS
WILL FACE TAX
PROSECUTION
BY International News Service

BY International News Service
Criminal proceedings against
1923 Violators Of the revenue
laws were pending at the end of
the 1888 fiscal year, the Internal
Revenue Bureau disclosed in its
annual report today.
The year was one of great ac-
tivity in the drive against tax
evaders. On June 80, 1892, 933
cases we're pending, while 1,444
new cases were prepared during
the following year, making a to-
tai Of 2.377 under consideration
during the period.
The penal division of the bu-
reau disposed of 1854 actions in
the IL months, the net increase
being 100.
Cost Is Cut
The cost of collection of in
ternal revenue was reduced dur
Ing the year to $1.85 on the $100
compared with $2.17 in. the 1882
fiscal year. Total internal reve-
nue. collections were $1,619, $780,
224 in 1888, an increase of $62,-
11O,181 over the year before.
Income taxes made up $746,-
791, ,404 of the total collection, a
loss Of 5000 1865, 1893. Miscella-
neous internal revenue totaled
$873,047, ,820, an increase of $372,.
O75, ATS. Tobacco headed the mis-
cellaneous collections with $4O2,-
73S.O59, an increase of $4,16O,44O.
Beer taxes for the March-June
period amounted to $35, ,23O,44l.
Additional income taxes as
SeSSed and made available for
collection as the result of exam
1nation of returns for past years
were $169, ,629, 500, a decrease of
$4S,S91 sos, compared with the
year before.
Many taxpayers availed them
selves of the privilege provided by
the law to extend the time pay
ment of taxes. The assessment
and possible collection of nearly
$2O,000,000 was delayed because
Of actions filed with the tax ap-
peals board.
Estate Tax Heavy
Practically 80 per cent of the
Federal estate tax was absorbed
by credit for State estate, inherit
ance, legacy or succession taxes.
Deficiencies were assessed on es-
tate taxes of $35.361, 1893, includ-
g one case Of more than $780,
100000, where the taxpayer failed
to furnish the Government with
the required information relative
to credit for State inheritance
taxes.
During the year 7,288,08O tax
returns were filed compared with
5,069, ,594 the year before. These
included 5,166,091 income tax re-
turns, gain of 637,756.

By Uncle Ike Walton

Now, Brother Franklin. watch
your step. There is no more
solemn occasion than that of an
overwhelming victory, no greater
danger than when universal con-
fidence is voted to any mortal
and fallible human. The Ameri-
can people have voted you great
er power than ever reposed in
the hands of any one man in the
history of the world.
What are you going to do with
lit?
Here are some things l hope
you can and will do.
l. Get not fewer than five mil
hon of the unemployed to work
within the year 1885, and five
million more in 1886.
=. Build up the physical and
spiritual morale of many of those
weakened by hunger, sickness and
despair.
8. Effect a genuine reconcilia-
ton between government and
business.
/. Decrease crime and reduce
avoidahle accidents.
). Unity the currency.
6. Develop and extend educa-
ton.
7. Negotiate earnestly for re-
moval of international trade bar
riers. IL
8. Remove the financial incen-
tive to war if it takes the ma
tionalization of the manufacture
of arms and munitions to do 1T.
9. Change the trend toward re-
striction of production as a means
of raising prices and substitute
increased consumption.
10. Promote home and farm
building for people of small
means.
II. Restrict governmental ac-
tivities to strictly public works
and services which private busl-
ness cannot or will not handle.
II. Do not allow either labor,

or political expediency to dictate
