Doing Good Work
In War Relief

BOSTON.-One war relief activi-
ty which has been little pubhcized
is The Christian Science War Re-
lief Committee, with main offices
al 237 Huntington Avenue, Boston,
Mass. Two thousand nine hundred
and ninety-nine cases-half a mil
lion garments-valued at $489, $685.
%. in the nine months of the Com
mittees existence, is their record
to date.
The work is an activity of The
Mother Church. The First Church
of Christ, Scientist, in Boston, and
branch Christian Science churches
throughout America. Only new gar
ments or those comparable to new
are accepted by the committee
These are furnished almost entire

10 a central Christian Science COM
mittee, in London, where they are
allocated to different alnoners in
England and Scotland. The work is
in the hands of members of the
Christian Science denomination I'M
til the garments are distributed.
They are gladly given to any per-
son in need, regardless of denom-
ination.
1t is the purpose of the Com
mittee in the United States to keep
its depots in England supplied with
an adequate amount of clothing and
blankets for emergencies; so, the
London committee is becoming
known as a storehouse from which
emergencies can be met. This was
evidenced by the fact that it was
crates of clothing from this COM
mittee which first reached Conven-
try: and when the great fire oc-

hundred places throughout the
United States, but thousands of
new garments are purchased and
sent, from a War Relief Fund gen.
erously contributed by Christian
Scientists. Three motor kitchens
have been sent and motor truck
or van is maintained in England for
quick deliveries.
The Committee in Boston is CRATE
full for the record Of goods sent as
we'll as for the fact that because
services are SO largely voluntary,
its overhead expense is only Al
per cent. It also rejoices that less
than one per cent of the goods
shipped is all that has been lost in
sinkings.
The main depot for shipping to
England is located in Boston, but
shipments are also made from Port
land, Ore; New York City, and Los
Angeles

Small Group Controls
u. S. Movie Iuferests

The weakness OF the movie inter-
ests under attack by isolationist SEN
ators Is not due to their being guilty
Of the charge OF making pro-war
propaganda, Notwithstanding for
the sake Of argument that they are
guilty-but because it is so easy to
show that small group OF men has
the power to say what films shall
be shown the American public.
II it were not for this--if it were
not for the wen-known fact that an
independent theater owner has no
chance to buck any one of the big
movie interests-the charge that
small group Of producers, "animat-
ed by the prosecutions and hatreds
Of the Old world" is injecting pro-
war propaganda into American
films, on which Senators Gerald P.
Nye and Bennett Clark rely, would
be merely laugh to the country.
Seriously, on this point. does any
one really believe that the big movie
producers would turn out propagan-
da films II Iney lOSt money OH nem
III they were sure in advance that
they would lose money!
John T. Flynn, In his argument
before the committee against the
movie producers, provided food for
thouaht along this line. He attached
the "Rlorihcation" OF the affair BE-
tween Lord Nelson and Lady Hanil
ton In That Hamilton Wonan."
Several oaarmants could be made

people who pay adznissieas to nAov-
ies love to see any Aim which re-
wolves around an Illicit love affair

Gent importance. There may have
been such ! movie which did not
yield a fat profit to its producers
and the individual theater owners.
but If SO 1t has escaped the notice
Of this writer. And one doubts
whether John T. Flynn could re-
member it.

WASHINGTON.-Don't underesti-
mate anything that can be twisted
into a moral issue" in figuring
what will happen politically. 1t hap
pens so often in our legislatures and
in congress and too often in the di-
rection OF injustice, that one some
times wonders why the trainers OF
our Constitution, who seemed to
have prepared against most Of the
other difficulties into which we have
run, did not protect US against this!
Latest example is the surrender
of the house of representatives to
the senate on practically everything
of importance in the revenue bill in
exchange-for what7 A victory on
a comparatively unimportant issue,
but which could be classified under
the moral category.
The senate, on the advice of some
disinterested tax experts, had pro-
vided that when couple is sepa-
rated, and the man is paying ali
mony to his wife, that alimony can
be deducted from his total income
in computing the tax. Another phase
of the provision provided that the
alimony should be considered as in
come by the wife, would have to be
reported just as though it were in
come from investments, or salary.
and tax paid on it il it were suf-
fciently large after the deductions.
Immediately there was hue and
cry from certain quarters-it was
branded in '.handout' sent to all
newspaper men in Washington as
we'll as members OF congress as "en-
couraging divorce.
Just how anyone could figure that
men and women would break up
happy homes in order to save the
difference between one bracket and
another on part Of their income is
difficult for the writer to imagine
but that is what this "handout' in
timated.
It's Mystery
II happened several years ago,
when the writer's attention was d.
rected to this by a friend. that 1t
seemed possible that the original
motive underlying this wording of
the law (for it is the letter of the
law, and not treasury department
regulations) would make an inter-
esting article. The writer talked to
Senator Pat Harrison, of Mississip-
pi, then chairman of the senate
finance committee, which handles
all tax legislation. to treasury Off
Gals and others. No one could re-
member what had been behind the
original wording. No one defendedit.
Certainly no church had ever adj
vocated it. No church in this coun-
try forbids separation. 1t Is only
against remarriage that the REL1-
GIOUS objection applies. And it is
not the remarked divorced man who
is SO hard hit. He can claim the full
deduction of a married man because
he is living with his new wife. He
can also claim $400 deduction for his
ex-wife as dependent, believe it or
not. She is no longer his wife, and
hence does not come within the pro-
hibition in the law.
Yet the house yielded on nearly
everything else in controversy, in
order to preserve this absurdity!
