It is suggested that income tax
payers be allowed to deduct from tax
able income what they have to pay
doctors.
If a man makes his income by us
ing machinery he is allowed to deduct
from income whatever he has to spend
to keep the machinery in order.
The machinery used by a lawyer,
merchant or mechanic is his own body
and brain. If he has to spend money
to keep that machinery in order and
fit to earn revenue, of course he
sheuld be allowed to charge that to
“repairs” and deduct it from income
tax. And also he should be allowed
to deduct*for each year of wear and
tear a fair charge for depletion.
A coal mijie owner charges off “de
pletion,” because his mine is worth
less each year.
What about the man whose mine
is his brain? That also is worth less
each year.
Fashion can do what other things
can’t do. For instance, the fashion
in short skirts has made fashionable
restaurants and night dancing resorts
in London, cut down the ^height of
tables and chairs. It is impossible
for women with skirts up to their
knees to sit gracefully, not to say
modestly, at the regulation high table.
So the table legs are cut off.
Last year this country paid out
three billion dollars for automobiles.
That’s a large sum, but no money
was better spent. To economize on
automobiles would mean to economize
on fresh air, health, happiness, and
it would mean waste of time more
than offsetting the saving in money.
Jesus,” Dr. Fcfedick continued. “I
believe the great things concerning
Him. But the centre of my religion
is in the Gospels, not the theologi
ans; in the Master’s way of living,* not
in what men have said about Him.
“That same thing is happening in
the church which is happening all
over the country on Washington’s
birthday. How many orators will in
dulge in sounding praise of Washing
ton. They have a patriotism about
^Washington. But the patriotism of
r Washington—that is another matter,
and it is not so easy to find.”

ROSS IX YOUNG,
1 Ccemtf Treasurer.
Europe, poorer and less efficient
than the United States, suffers for
lack of cars. Some of the millions
we spent for trucks, to be used car
rying freight. That was educational.
Enough trucks competing with rail
roads and cutting railroad freight
prices will make some of the old-
fashioned railroad men think. Mere
ly relying on the Interstate Com
merce Commiseion to raise your rates,
when you need more money, is not
scientific railroading.
“Tom” Lawson, author of “Fren
zied Finance” and an active figure in
much friepzied finance of his own,
was buried last week close to the
magnificent estate that he once own
ed. Wall Street gave it to him. And
Wall Street took it away from him.
When he was sixteen he made
$40,000 in Wall Street. In twenty
years of Wall Street life he made
forty millions of dollars, and Wall
Street took it all back.
The old crouper at Monte Carlo’s
gambling house said to this writer
long ago: “We don’t have to worry
about profits. While they have
money, the strangers stay and gam
ble or spend it in our hotels. When
they haven’t any more money, they
go. The money stays with us.”
So with Wall Street, if you gam
ble.
Mrs. Tennal, lady editor of the
Sabetha Herald, in Kansas, tells Kan
sas editors at Topeka that every
woman needs three husbands—one for
society, one to make money, one to
look after the housekeeping. “Pres
ent-day husbands are satisfactory, as
far as they go,” she says, but they do
not go far enough.
FOSDICK PREDICTS
SPUT IN CHURCH
Says New Religious Reformation Will
Be Cause In. Farewell Sermon.
Leaving New York Church.
New York, Feb. 22.—The Rev. Dr.
Harry Emerson Fosdick, whose ser
vices as special speaker at the First
Presbyterian church end on March 1
by order of the New York Presby
tery, declared today in his fare
well sermon that a new religious
reformation was on its way which
might possibly have to “split away
from the evangelical churches as
the Lutheran reformation had to
split from the old church.”
Dr. Fosdick, who as a Baptist min
ister holding a Presbyterian pulpit,
was the subject of much controversy
in the di&pdte between the Fundamen
talists and Modernists, said in his
sermon today that multitudes of
Christians “have not the religion of
Jesus,” but only the “religion about
Jesus,” and that “the religion about
Jesus tends to crowd out and destroy
the religion of Jesus.”
“A religious reformation is afoot.”
Dr. Fosdick said, “and at heart it is
the endeavor to recover for our mod
ern life the religion of Jdsus as
against the vast, intricate, largely
inadequate, and often positively false,
religion about Jesus Christ. Christ
ianity today has largely left the reli
gion which He preached, taught and
lived, and has substituted^ another
kind of religion altogether.
“If Jesus should come back now,
hear the mythologies built upon and
around Him, see the creedalism, de-
nominationalism, sacramentalism car
ried on in His name, He would cer
tainly say: ‘If this is Christianity, I
am not a Christian.’

egotistical that he has started taking

Coupla Cynics
Big: “Well, Jack Dempsey has re
signed his title, quit fighting, and has
married.”
Bigger: “Yep, that’s right to a cer
tain extent. He’s resigned his title
and married. As for the rest—well,
you’re married aren’t you? So am
I.”
Help! Help!!
Managing Editor: “Have you read
‘The Lost Manuscript’?”
Cub Reporter: “No, sir, how could
I if it’s lost?”
Ed Purdy’s Philos
“Ho-hum—Spring is near. The
Christmas jewelry is turning green.”
The learned Mrs. Tennal knows
that palyandry, meaning several hus
bands, was once the rule among many
nations. It still prevails among cer
tain semi-barbarous people.
And the husbands manage to get
along fairly well.
Polyandry, however, will not solve
the problem. The husband must mul
tiply his accomplishments, while in
creasing his tendency to fidelity. The
American husband makes money, but
does not know how to pay compli
ments. Many European men pay mar
velous compliments, but can’t make
money.
The combinatipn, or “thrqe*in-one,”
husband will appear in the course of
evolution.

Father entered the door. He heard
sounds of joy and glee in the parlor.
Slowly he removed his hat and coat.
He was a tired business man. Mother
came through the parlor door to greet
him, a smile on her face.”
“What’s the matter?” asked father.
“Diamond Jubilee,” said mother,
squeezing his arm. *
“Iflgosh,” said father, “have we
been married that long?”
“Oh, it’s no tus,” said mother. “It’s
Grace and her young man friend. He’s
just got together enough money for
the first payment on a diamond ring.”

One of those high-powered super

strike up a friendly conversation.
“Your potted plant over there looks

“ ‘At’s alright,” said the boy, “may
be it’s an orange tree.”
“I don’t think you’ll get much of
a crop,” said the salesman.
“Don’t expect to,” said the boy.
“It’s a century plant less than one
year old.”
“Boy,” said the salesman, “there
isn’k much difference between you and
a fool H ”
“Only this desk,” said the boy."
