 LAST GAME, BY Y. F.. A. c.

De High boys played their final basketball game of the current sea- son last night when they lost by a narrow margin to the Y. P. A. c. squad, the final score being 30-25.
 Until the final two minutes Of play the Island boys led their heavier opponents but the Y. P. A. C. rolled in several field goals in those last few minutes to take the game from the school boys.
 The regular squad of the high school played throughout with the exception of Stragier who went out on personals in the fourth quarter, Williams replacing him. Although numerous fouls were called both teams played clean ball and the game was much enjoyed by those present.

WASHINGTON HONORED
 BY SCHOOL PROGRAM

L. w. Kilburn gave a talk on the life and achievements of Washing ton at a special program yesterday afternoon for the high school and 6th graders. He said that Washing tons life was so remarkable that it required some research to do it justice. :.
 Seldom do the deeds of a man go down in history for almost a hundred years as is the case with Washington, declared MT. Kilburn. Although in his earlier years Wash ington did not. distinguish himself as a leader of men, when the op- perfume time came and he took charge of the Continental armies, he made himself a successful and well-loved general
 Known as the father of his coun- try, scorcely city does not have some memento of Washington. The story is told that Washington, who loved his horses, would go down to his stables in the morning. Tak- ing his silk handkerchief he brush ed the horses Hanks. If a speck of dust was revealed, he had the stable boy flogged for his lack of care.
 Several high school students gave short speeches, including Jennie Savikko who talked on Washing tons home life; Wilm a Feero, Washington's Death; Elsa Lundell, Washington, D. C.; and Helen Pus- ich, the Washington monument.
 Songs sung by the audience were :: Washington Song and America, the Beautiful

YOUR INCOME
 TAX
 No. B Reductions for Profes- sional Expenses es

A professional man may deduct all necessary expenses incurred in the pursuit of his profession. These include the cost of supplies used in his practice, office rent, cost of light, water, fuel, and telephone in his office, the hire of office as- sistants, and expenses paid in the operation and repair of an auto mobile, based upon the proportion of time it is used in making pro- fessional calls or for other profess sional purposes.
 Many physicians use their resi- dences both as their offices and their homes. In such instance the physician may deduct as a busi- ness expense the rental value of the rooms occupied for office pur- poses if he actually pays rent, and also the cost of light and heat furnished these rooms. Also, he may deduct a portion of the wages Eaid domestic servants whose time is partly occupied in caring for these rooms Membership. dues in professional societies are deductible. Physicians and dentists who keep in their waiting rooms current magazines and newspapers for the benefit of their patients may de- duct this item as a business ex- pense. The cost of professional journals for the taxpayers own use also is a deductible item.
 The cost of technical books is not a deductible item, being a capital expenditure, but proportionate amount for each years depreciS ton of the books may be deducted. De- preciation may also be taken on office furniture and equipment. h. surance premiums on office or other professional equipment and liability insurance may be deduct ed. Automobile liability insurance may be deducted only when the automobile is used wholly in pur- suit of the taxpayers profession, and the cost of the entire upkeep may legitimately be claimed as a professional expense.

the 10000 reports shows, decreases the life span. Aged women are more numerous than aged men. Seaside villages were the most nu- merous among the habitats of these long-lived Japanese. All vil- lages exceeded all towns for long, lived inhabitants and the towns were ahead of the cities.
 The majority of those who re- ported were agricultural workers. Most were of medium build but some were corpulent and few slen- der. They now go to bed early and rise late. They generally have led quiet lives. ft tt
 They are not particular about what they eat or drink. Half of them are drinkers, but the women are all non-d drinkers.
 Middle Class Leads
 The majority of these aged Jap anese had long-lived grandparents, parents, brothers and sisters. They all had from three to five broth CTS and sisters. They were found mostly in the middle classes.
 In this group it appeared that unmarried persons seldom live to great age Tall men lived longer than short ones.
 The majority were eldest sons and daughters and were born of parents still in their twerties.

 7ov Theory of Feeding
 On tae diet road there are two reaans significant surveys indicat- iry lev man may soon learn to prolong his life. The latest, by Dr. c. M. McCay, of the Cornell uni versity animal nutrition laboratory, challenged the present practice of feeding beth animals and children erough to produce maximum size in the shortest time.
 Tn his colony of rats Dr. McCay has some already twice normal rat ages, and still going, with the old est equal to 1l0 years of human life.
 The lives of these animals were doubled by just one thing-feeding them less than enough to let them grow as fast as nature would per- init.
 Ten Years Longer
 The other survey shows diet ap- piled in a manner more nearly fitting human desires. This was made by Dr. Henry c. Sherman, Of Columbia university, whose experi- ments led him to predict that the average life span can be prolonged 10 years in the near future by choice of diet.
 No nation yet has ventured to apply the known laws of heredity that result in longer life. But the Japanese study suggests this type of heredity is somehow mingled with moderation; that those who inherit their longevity come from families neither very small nor extra large.
 Cities Shorten Life
 This study was made by Dr. Ma kayama, school hygenist. To him the 10000 reported on climate, cir cumstances and manner of living, hygiene, tastes and family records. Living in cities. a tabulation of

of this being that a considerable
percentage of these mutilated stocks
were held by aviation workers on
the installment plan. The financial
skeleton ratified dismally at each

lack Of business vision in aviation
was apparent in the dizzy attempts

ecutives whose qualifications con-
sisted of a political or financial pull
the operating phase of the industry
including the loyal workers suffered
considerably. The dizzy defenders
of collapsing profits again passed
the burden of their stupidity onto
the workers in wage cuts and worse
conditions.
Frantic Reorganization
A frantic period OF reorganization
started. Mergers and consultations
followed. Air lines were bought and
sold with an eye to future air mail
possibilities. Some were bought and
sold back the same year when found

many people has that great cap
tain Of industry, Mr.. insult, on his
conscience?
1t is the Insulls. the M-"~o''~
ETC.. a small clique Of shrewd
magnates who are plundering the
land who decide the fate of the
overwhelming majority Of the
people. An insult is arrested be-
cause his crimes stank too much,
but the insult system continues in
power. This system, in which the
insults, the Morgans. the Melons
and the other captains Of industry
dominate with full power, is con-
tinuously producing such criminals
as Dillinger.
Dillinger will be arrested when he
runs out of money for brides and
will be condemned to the electric
chair or shot on sight. The coun-
try. the hopelessness of the capital
LIST system for millions. is continu-
ously producing new Dillingers. In

This gentleman bandit will I'M
doubtedly be treated differently
than the Scottsboro Boys, or Hern-
don, but hundreds Of other insults
will continue to exploit and de-
fraud the people.
There is no method in this decay
ing system for the destruction Of
the insults and Dillingers. The
working class in power alone will
make it impossible for q few dozen
gentlemen bandits like insult, Nor
gan, ETC., to plumber the people and
to drive them into bloody war
from time to time. The working
class in power alone can do away
with crimes and criminals by guar
anteeing to every human being a
free and unhampered chance to
advance and develop, education,
culture. and Joy in working. We,
the Reds, leading the working class
will do away with this system. We,
the Reds, the Communists, are
fighting against an order Of society
whose Characteristic products are
the insults and Dillingers.

DILLINGER, the son of a
~ small farmer is trying to
make his way with the
revolver, as a gunman. There
are tens of thousands of such
gunner, such declassed ele-
ments in the United States.
They play an important role in
this system, They are instruments
in the hands Of the politicians. Of
the capitalists, Of the A. F. Of L.
burocrats. and above all, they play
an important part in the struggle
Of the bosses against the workers.
They are the stool pigeons, the
professional strike-breakers, they
are the sworn-in deputies, when
there is to be shooting against
striking steel workers and miners.
as for instance, in the Ambridge
steel strike. They are fed and pro-
tected like watch-dogs are pro-
tected. Unemployment, no hope Of
making a sufficient living, the
monotony Of work in the capitalist
factory are driving thousands Of
youths into the army of the slurn-
prcletariat, the army of criminals,
the professional strikebreakers, the
gunner Of the capitalists.
Mr.. Samuel insult has always
been an enemy Of the workers right
to organize. There were thousands
of stool pigeons in the plants con-
trolled by him. How many thou
sands Of smalled Dillingers did In
sull use against the workers, in
order to keep them enslaved. in
order to prevent them from fight
ing for higher wages, in order to
break their strikesl
insult Is man who enthusiastic
cally fought for this system Of
society. in which one individual is
allowed to exploit hundreds Of thou
sands. Ask him what he thinks
about the Communists, about chose
damned Reds He will answer
that the Communists are destroy
ers that no real patriot must sup
port them, that the government
must fight them with all brutal
methods. He will answer exactly
as his brothers, Morgan, Ford, and
all the other kings of steel, coal,
iron, textile, railroads, do.
Dillinger On His Own
Dillinger's crime is that he dared
to murder on his own hook and
not under the orders of capitalist
boss in strikes, demonstrations, etc.
Had Dillinger only shot down work
ers, as workers we're shot down in
Arnbridge, had he been useful
gunman. he would be paid large
salary, nobody would prosecute him
and the courts would protect him.
But this gun hero draws his re-
volver against banks, plumbers
banks and does not understand that
it is q privilege of the banks to
plumber the people.

charged the Lord Marley Committee
with stealing money. intended for
the German Anti-Fascist Fighters.
In the Na2i meeting, Julius Weis-
berg, Forward agent and Socialist
leader was endorsed. Though in
two different halls friends" recog-
nized each other.
The German meeting was called
to decide whom the Germans were
going to support in the coming cleo
tions. In the speeches and dis
cuSsion it was clearly shown that
the meeting was called to organize
the Hitler supporters.
One Of the speakers supported
Reed for U. S. Senate because he
refused to sit on the Lord Marley
committee. And opposed Governor
Pinchot because Mrs. Pinchot at
tended the Lord Marley meeting and
was a member of the Lord Marley
Committee.
At another time the speaker said,
I'VE are Germans, but it took Hitler
to show us this" He said that the
italians and others were getting the
political jobs and the Germans were
left in the cold.
At many times in the meeting
there were shouts of Hail Hitler
and much hand clapping at the
mention of the famous butcher.
Also many Of the younger Ger
mans, both boys and girls, greeted
each other with their hands out
stretched as they do in Hitler Ger
many. The Vice-Council of Ger
many was also present and spoke.
1t was very clear that the Hitler
ties were holding their first public
meeting in Pittsburgh.
At this meeting they also recog-
nized the services rendered by the
Socialist leaders of Germany as
we'll as those of the United States
and especially those of Pittsburg.
This was shown in. the names en-
dorsed for the various candidates in
the coming elections.
AS stated above, Reed was sup
ported because he was against the
Lord Marley Anti-Fascist meeting.
William A. Schnader was supported
because he SIS one of u.s. julius
Weisberg, Socialist leader and head
Of the Jewish Daily Forward in
Pittsburg was probably supported
because he fought hardest against
the Lord Marley meeting and the
raising of funds to help the victims
of Fascist terror.
