Deficit Paid

Beginning his fourth term as its
president, Coleman Jennings yester-
day announced that the Community
Chest is clear of debt for the first
time since 1881. The collection of
pledges last autumn, he explained,
made possible the payment Of the
remnant of a deficit accumulated
during the worst depression years.
Over-eXpenditure for relief was re-
sponsible. The obligation was cur
tailed little by little until finally it
has been completely eliminated.
Mr.. Jennings, reporting the solu-
ton of problem which constituted
a perennial handicap in the work of
the Chest, declared: "Our credit in
the community demanded that this
item be erased as rapidly as possible"
That view, certainly, was justified.
Money that the agencies would have
been glad to use" had to be appro-
priated for the purpose, yet no other
policy was conceivable in circum-
stances involving the good name of
the organized social institutions and
enterprises of Washington.
During a crisis, of course, the
Chest must function with an unbal-
anced budget. In relatively normal
periods. however, unliquidated debt

$100,000,000 annually the revenue
which the legislation, as it now
stands, would yield, the loss on 1910
income will amount to only $23,0O0,-
900, and that on 1941 income will not
be much greater, according to esti-
mates of Treasury experts. BY in
creasing the flow of private capital
into industrial expansions, the bill
should raise the volume of corporate
profits. Larger future receipts by the
Treasury therefore may offset any
temporary loss of revenue.
In enacting the 1910 law, Congress
aimed to tax the excess profits of
American corporations. BY removing
inequities in the present statute and
providing relief for the hardship"
cases, it will do much to make the
legislation a real excess profits law.
The Treasury is to be commended
for its efforts to cooperate with
congressional leaders toward this
end.

Mysterious Letter

The letter x is sharply distin-
guished from its 25 alphabetical
associates and stands in a class by
itself. A shy, retiring letter, it very
rarely starts anything-the X-ray
and the Xylophone are the only two
examples that come readily to
mind-its main duty is in the secret
service, where it represents the elu-
sive unknown quantity. 1t thrives
in algebra problems, where its great
versatility enables it to act as the
number of days it would take A, B
and C working together to build a
wall or dig a ditch, or perhaps
Toms investment in apples in his
partnership with Dick and Harry.
Years ago it invaded the theater
under the alias of Madame x. In
its spare time x also has the chore
of marking the spot.
In it's triplicate form, xxx, it
does not, as might be thought, mark
three spots. Instead, it represents
kisses. 1t is this significance that
has brought it under the ban in
Britain. No longer may sailors
write their sweeties love and
XXX"-cenSorS are afraid that the
dark and devious x may be utilized
by spies for code messages. Very
little complaint has been registered
against their decision; kisses, unlike
political speeches, are all the better
when not abbreviated.

His flight reminds me of the purple

How people can want to kill such

I find that by keeping a diary of bird

Dear Sir:
You may have written on this subject
but if SO happened to have missed it,
'At my kitchen window is a sugar
maple tree and each day at this time
of year red-headed woodpecker comes
and taps the tree and drinks the sap.
ut is his method that is so interesting
He taps branch near the crotch of the
tree and as the sap runs down it forms
a tiny pool and he will sit there for long
periods just drinking
HE is back and forth all day long
No other bird seems to come for it.
Sincerely, C. M. s."
Evidently the members of the sap
sucker family are getting around in
nearby Virginia.
Neltje Blanchan says: "It is sad to
record that this exquisitely marked wood
pecker, the most jovial and boisterous
Of its family, is one of the very few bird
visitors whose intimacy should be dis
couraged. For its useful appetite for
slugs and insects which it can take on
the wing with wonderful dexterity it
need not be wholly condemned. But as
we look upon favorite maple or fruit
tree devitaliZed or perhaps wholly dead
from its ravages we cannot forget that
this bird, while most abStemiouS fruit
eater, has a pernicious and most in
temperate thirst for sap.
Indeed, it spends much of its time
In the orchard drilling holes into the
freshest, most vigorous trees; then, when
their sap begins to flow, it siphons it
into an Unsuitable throat, stopping in its
orgy only long enough to snap at the
insects that have been attracted to the
wounded tree by the streams of it's
heart-blood now trickling down its sides.
Another favorite pastime is to strip
the bark off tree, then peck at the
soft wood underneath-almoSt as fatal
a habit. 1t drills holes in naples in early
spring for sap only. If it drills holes in
fruit trees it is for the cambium layer,
a soft, pulpy nutritious underbark.
These woodpeckers have variety of call
notes. but their rapid drumming against
the limbs and trunks of trees is the sound
we always associated with them and
the sound that Mr.. BicknelI says is the
love note of the family.
'Unhappily, these birds, that many
would be glad to have decrease in num-
bers, take extra precautions for the safety
of their young by making very deep ex-
cavations for their nests, often as deep
as 18 or 20 inches"

Says New Calendar Advocates
Would Destroy Spiritual Values.
To the Editor OF The Star:

40 bAc h0AbOA Va 4hc otaAs
The World Calendar Association ad-
vocates placing all national holidays
on Monday or Saturday, irrespective
of their fixed anniversary status. The
new calendar advocates also recon-
mend that the weekly cycle be disrupted
so as to make the fixed days of the
week untrue each year. Sunday would
no longer fall upon the resurrection day
of Christ, nor would the Sabbath fall
upon the seventh day of the present
weekly cycle. They urge that all this
be done "as an emergency measure to
aid in national defense"
Some tell us we ought to surrender
our civil rights under the Constitution
to aid national defense. Now the reform
calendar advocates are demanding that
religion sacrifice all its religious days
and their religious significance for the
sake of material gains. Right here we
wish to raise a question. Does 1t pay to
sacrifice all spiritual values for the sake
of monetary values and carnal gains?
France experimental along these lines
during the French Revolution when it
not only abolished all civil rights but
all spiritual values. 1t adopted a 10
day weekly cycle in place of the seven
day weekly cycle. But France reaped
the whirlwind when it sowed to the
wind. Chaos reigned in every quarter
and life was insecure. After 13 years
Of operation under the new calendar
France decided to restore spiritual
values and it again adopted the seven
day weekly cycle and the original sig
niflcance of religious days and customs.
Russia during its recent revolution
destroyed all civil as well as spiritual
values by adopting a 1ve-day weekly
cycle instead of the seven-day cycle.
All this was done In defiance of religion
to destroy its institutions. But Russia
soon discovered that it was out Of
harmony with the rest of the world and
that it die not pay, so 1t restored the
seven-day weekly cycle.
Now our reform calendar advocates de-
mand that the United States Govern
ment for the sake of gearing up the pro-
gram Of national defense should adopt
the tactics employed by the infidels of
France and of Russia, and change our
calendar by disrupting the weekly cycle
every year. They want to adopt an eight
day weekly cycle once each year and
twice each leap year, thus destroying our
present weekly cycle and making it's days
untrue and irregular. Let Americans
pause and think seriously before they
take step which they will seriously re-
gret later. There are some things in the
spiritual realm which have a higher
value than monetary gains or military
efficiency. These values we cannot afford
to lose under any circumstances.

General Secretary of Religious Lib
erty Association of America.

Crosstown Bus Service

A convincing mass of evidence has
been placed before the Public Util-
tiles Commission as to the outspoken
and well documented public demand
for a crosstown bus line to provide
a connection over the reaches of
Rock Creek Park.
Just where this line should be
established is a question for exact
analysis by the commission on the
basis of the greatest public service
consistent with sound operating
practice. This may be a difficult
problem to solve, in view Of the de-
termined contest between organized
protagoniStS of the Military road
and the Porter street-Klingle road
Park road routes.
It is to be assumed the commits
sion will exercise good judgment in
meeting this route issue, but even
so there remain other problems
that should have been solved long
before now. A small bridge over
Rock Greek, the half century-o old
Klingle road span, is said to be un-
safe for carrying a load of more
than 10000 pounds for any one
vehicle. On the upper route, there
is much more substantial bridge
over the creek, but there a number
of roads lead to this intersection
and the present bridge is said to be
at an improper angle, considering
the flow of traffic.
Plans for replacement of both
bridges, to permit grade separation
and better traffic control, are on the
program of the District Highway
Department., but these are not in
final shape and funds for their de-
velopment have not been requested,
it is said, because the Park and
Planning Commission so far has de-
ferred final decision as to principles
involved in provision of adequate,
permanent crossings of Rock Creek
Park. If this is so, then definitely
some conclusive action should be
taken promptly.
If the commission decides a cross
town bus line is needed, it would be
deplorable if it's operation should
have to be delayed indefinitely to
await decision on use and proper de-
veIopment of park roads and bridges,
particularly since this crosstown
service has been advocated for sew
eral years.
Should the commission order pro-
vision of crosStown bus line which
entails new spans, all possible CO.
operation should be given to speed
ing a supply bill through Congress
to provide the new bridge or grade
separation structure that is found
necessary, especially since it does not
appear that the cost would be very
great

Profit Tax Chances

Because changes are clearly needed
to relieve many corporations from
unnecessary hardships, the House
has done we'll to approve the amend
ments to the Excess Profits Act pro-
posed by the Ways and Means
Committee. Since the enactment of
the profits tax last September, Treas
ury experts and members of the staff
of the Joint Committee on Internal
Revenue Taxation have been study
ing inequities in the 1910 law. Their
recommendations, approved by the
Treasury and the Ways and Means
Committee, have been embodied in
the bill which passed the House yes
terday. If congressional action is
completed in time, and this is highly
desirable, the change will apply to
the computations of taxes for the
calendar year 1910, the first payment
on which is due March IS.
Through a series of amendments,
the bill aims to provide relief to
corporations suffering "hardships"
under the Excess Profits Act. BY per-
mitting a two-year, instead of one
year carryover of unused excess
profits credits, the measure is eX-
pected to help new corporations,
thus encouraging a greater invest
ment of capital in private enterprise.
BY changing the method for estab-
fishing the average earnings" base
in computing taxable income, the
bill will ease the burden on rapidly
growing corporations. Through these
and other amendments, 1t seeks to
adjust "abnormalities" of basic in
come of corporations using the av-
erage earnings method in calculating
their excess profits taxes.
Though ultimately the amend
ments will reduce by an estimated

Would Rather Fight Abroad
Than at Home.

To the Editor Of The Star:
7 don't like paying taxes any more
than anybody else, but If Germany wins
this war then you and will go on pay
ing out untold billions for defense, and
our children and our grandchildren
after us, with consequent stinting OF
education and research in the humani-
ties and science for similar time.
Seems to me the cheapest way is to
lick this German menace right now and
be finished with it.
With an Anglo-American navy block
aiding Europe and an Anglo-American
air force bombing the living daylights
out of Hitler's minions until they howl
for mercy, the row will be over next
year. No need to send an army over
seas. If another fellow and have a
row, I'd far sooner have the mess in
