Teachers Told to 'Strike
In a Body' by Miss Tuft
Why Should "Babe" Ruth Get $20,000 for Half a;
Year's Work and Dempsey $300,000 for One
Fight, She Asks, While Professors Must Starve
It would be better for college pro?
fessors to strike in a body for higher
pay than to strike individually by leav?
ing their profession, declared Miss
Helen H. Taft, acting president of
Bryn Mawr College, in an address here
to-night at a meeting held at the Bryn
Mawr Club in behalf of the college's
endowment fund campaign.
Miss Taft asserted it is to avert
necessity for a strike of any kind that
the colleges of the country have
launched their drives for funds. She
declared that teachers already have
begun a revolt against less than a liv?
ing wage and that "radicals have ap?
peared among the teachers in New
York schools and one at least in Bos?
ton." Hundreds of schools in New
York and Maine have had to close for
lack of teachers, she said, and unless
salaries are increased "a few years
will see us without teachers."
Cites Rath and Dempsey
"The discrimination against the
teacher in contrast with those who
follow other professions lias been
marked," she continued. "The public
will pay Babe Ruth ?20,000 for half a
year and Jack Dempsey $100,000 or
$300,000 for a single fight, but they
will not pay their college professors
enough to live on. A professional
baseball player sells for $130,000; a
professor is secured from one of the
Western colleges for a few dollars
more than he was receiving there."
Explaining that her statement this
fall that professors should form a
union and strike to enforce their de?
mands "was not intended to be wholly
serious," Miss Taft nevertheless de?
clared to-night that "the teacher is
under no contract to stay in his pro?
fession, and if he were he would have
every justification for breaking the
contract at present, when the salary
has been "cut in half by the rise in the
cost of living."
"Throughout the history of educa?
tion u large measure of the recompense
of the teacher has been nothing more
tangible than the satisfaction which he
derives from his work," said Miss Taft.
"But that satisfaction must vanish if
he is beset on every side with financial
worries.
Won't Pay Butcher's Bill
"Intellectual enjoyment cannot pay
the butcher's bill, and the poor scholar,
happy though he may be in a hermitage
with a loaf of bread and a cup of clear
water, cannot preserve his peace of
mind or his intellectual detachment
when he faces the impossibility of giv?
ing to his children the benefits of the
education from which all his own sat?
isfactions have been derived."
Answering in the affirmative the
question of whether education of
women has paid the country, Miss Taft
declared that "unless conditions im?
prove, the college will have to double
it.s tuition fees, as students cannot
continue to be educated at the cost of
the professor."
Federal Income Tax Questions
Answered for The Tribune by Morris S. Frey, assistant
treasurer Guaranty Trust Company)
ej.?J. M. ?S.-.Last year J paid over $1,00
tax on my income for 1918. Part of m:
inarm* for 1918 was invested in stocks am
during 1919 one company in which I in
vetted went into bankruptcy, no the enfin
amount invested is lott beyond any doubt
I do not buy and aril stocks on a source o.
income, so have no profits of this kind fo.
1919 to amount to much. What I wish t<
know is, am I entitled to deduct the /o*
from my 1919 income!
A.?Under the 1918 revenue act the righi
to deduct losses outside of business is nol
limited to the amount of profits received
from similar transaction?. if it was def.
Initely determined in l??tO that the stock
was m total loss, the , entire cost thereof Is
deductible. If in the distribution of th?
assets of the bankrupt corporation the stock
holder receives any payment on account ol
his stock, the difference between the cost ol
his stock and the amount received i? the
?mount of lo"? deductible.
Cf.?A. K. J.: If in several accounts oj
Stock Exchange houses two show small
profits on purchases and sales of secuHtiei
of, say, $1.000 in each case, while the other*
show losses of $7,000 to $8,000, the net re?
sult being loste? of $5,000 to $6,000 on th*
year's operation, is an income ta* return
required, there being ro other source of in?

A house and land assessed and valued at
$7,000 was foreclosed and hold on a mort
gage of $3.000. of which $500 t/.'a.i paid in
1918 and 1919; is this a proper exemption"!
Is uncoUected and uncollectible rent com.
ing to $700 for the years 1917 and 1918 on
same.' property, attorneys having realised
only ISO or $i0, a proper deduction for 1919
returns?
A.? Sine? your losses Incurred on stock
transactions exceed your gftinu you are not
subject to inarm* tax and need not file a
return, provided you have received no othei
taxable Income during the year.
hosme* sustained through a mortuaire fore?
closure on rea! estate are proper deductions.
Uncollectible rent is not a proper ?leeqc
tion unie?? ?och rent ha* been included in a
prior return based on books kept on an
accrual basis.
Q.?J, M, W.t This is my first year as a
dentist. My income from the offlre utas
ruughly $10,500. Expenses in running the
office were $7,000. This does not include
east of equipment nor depreciation of this
equipyn*/nt. Were these deducted (allowing
1ft per cent depreciation) my profits would
be, roughly, $2,100. / am married and have
one ehtUL. Need I film a return"! Should
d?pr?ciation he deducted in addition to cost
?f et/uipmentl
A.?In vl*w of the fact that your net in?
come for th? taxable year la In excess of
$2,000 yon are required to make a return,
though you will not be subject to tax.
The coat of furniture and fixture?, or
surgical Instruments, which ara more or
le*a permanent In character, and the cost
of medical hooka are not deductible. How- !
ever, any equipment, furniture, instruments |
or fixtures and books used in connection .
with your profession may be the subject of :
an anuual depreciation allowance. There in j
no stipulated amount that may be deducted
for depreciation of property uued in a trade
or profession, the amount deductible beinn
contingent upon the life of the property I
and the use to which it is put. No de- i
pr?dation is allowed in connection with a [
taxpayer's personal residence or of auto
mobile? or other articles used for pleasure.
Q.?IV. ft. H.: (a) If a man instead of
paying premium due on life insurance gives
insurance company hie note including berk
principal and interest, is it permissiblr fur \
him to deduct the interest from hie income!
(b) Are paid luxury taxes deducted from '
I one's income!
A.? la) The interest referred to ?9 de- i
ductible, being interest paid on your in- ;
debtednesa. Only interest paid or accrued
within the taxable year on indebtedness in- ?
curred or continued to purchase or carry !
obligations or securities (other than obliga-!
tiona of the United States Issued after .Sep. ]
tember 24, 1917), the interest upon which I
is wholly exempt from tax, cannot be de- j
; ducted.
(b) All Federal taxes, except income, war I
, profita and excess profits taxes and estate
> taxes, are dcduetibln from gross income.
? Therefore, so-called luxury taxes are de
| ductible.
Q.?W. H. B.: I am a city employee draw

I man without any one depending on me. I
| am under the impression the city employee's
i ?n?nrv is exempt from taxation.
A.? Your salary amounting to $900 paid
to you by the city la not subject to tax. In
I view of the fact that your net income, ex
i eluding your salary as a city employee, is
, leas than $1,00U, you are not subject to

Grant Upheld |
By Vestrymen; *
He Stands Firm
Bishop Refuses to Comment
or Announce Decision in
Absence of? a Personal
Report From Preacher
New Charges Are Ready
Dr. Carstensen Reiterates
Three Clergymen Are
Prepared to Act Now
The situation created by the inquiry
into the remarks of the Rev. Dr. Percy
?Stickney Grant, pastor of the Church
of the Ascension, concerning the "so?
viet ark" and the Mayflower's passen?
gers remained unsettled last night
after the development yesterday of four
important angles of the case.
These were the publication of a let?
ter from Dr. Grant's vestry to Bishop
Charles S. Burch upholding Dr. Grant's
right to free speech hut registering
certain reservations concerning the im?
pressions caused by Dr. Grant's re?
marks; a long letter from Dr. Grant
in reply to his critics declaring the
deportation of radicals un-.\merican
and inconsistent; the refusal of Bishop
Burch to comment or to announce any
decision concerning possible action
against Dr. Grant in the absence of a
personal report from Dr. Grant; and
reiteration by the Rev. G. A. Carsten?
sen, of the Holy Rood Church, of the
statement that in case Dr. Grant is not
brought to a church trial as the result
of the vestry's report, three Episcopal
clergymen would unite in preferring
charges for such r presentment.
Special Report Received
The special report of the vestry
made to Bishop Burch concerning Dr
Grant's "soviet ark" speech wa3 made
public yesterday morning by Bishop
Burch without comment. The report
covered two points?the action of Dr.
Grant in allowing the parish house to
be used on Christmas Day by a num?
ber of persons who paraded up Fifth
Avenue in a plea for amnesty for polit?
ical prisoners in this country, and Dr.
Grant's coupling of the Pilgrim Fathers
with the "soviet ark" deportees.
The vestry found that in its opinion
the amnesty parade was legal and that
the rector "had the necessary authority
to allow the use of the parish house as
the assembling and starting point fot
this procession." The vestry dissented
from expressing complete approval of
Dr. Grant's action on this point in
these words:
"Our personal opinion, however, is
that in view of the circumstances it
was unwise to permit the use of the
church buildings for this purpose.
"The result of such permission was
to produce the impression upon the
minds of many persons that the mem?
bers of the Church of the Ascension
favored immediate amnesty for all so
called political prisoners?all of whom
have been convicted under due process
of law and many of whom have beer
convicted of crimes against the stat?
utes of the United States after a tria;
by court and jury.
Wiser Course Suggested
"We recognize that the general pur
pose of the parade was humanitaria!
and that the motives of those engag?e
in it were most excellent, but on a sub
jeer so controversial and as to whicr
opinions may differ it would have beer
wiser, in our opinion, for the rector tc
have consulted with the vestrymen 01
with some committee of the vestry, anc
we suggest that when similar occasion;
arise in the future that course bt
pursued."
The vestry stood lirmly behind Dr
(?rant in his right to protest againsi
the deportation of the "Reds" anc
accepted Dr. Grant's explanation thai
his references to the Pilgrim Fathers
were intended merely as historical com
ment rather than as comparison. Th(
vestry declared itself personally in fa?
vor of deportation, but equally de?
termined that Dr. Grant should b<
allowed to express his own opinion;
"freely and fearlessly," constrainec
only by the law and the proprieties.
The only dissenting comment of th<
vestry on this point was, "However
we regret the mention of the arriva
of the Mayflower and the landing ol
the Pilgrim Fathers in connection wit!
the sailing of the Buford, carrying th?
deported aliens, as having been highlj
unfortunate. The misunderstanding anc
the misinterpretation of the allusior
was easy and not unnatural."
When asked to comment last night or
the vestry's report and Dr. Grant's pub
lie statement Bishop Burch refused
saying that he was awaiting a persona
report from Dr. Grant before saying
anything. He will take no action on<
way or another, he said, until he ha:
received and digested that report.
The Rev. Dr. Carstensen, after beinj
quoted earlier iu the day as not nov
expecting charges to be made by threi
clergymen against Dr. Grant, declare?
again last night after learning of tht
vestry report and Dr. Grant's defensi
that failure by Bishop Burch to ac
would force the three clergymen t<
do so.
No Plan to Evade Issue
Dr. Carstensen referred to the ve3
try's statement as a "so-called explana
tion," and declared there was no dis
position on the part of the three clergy
men to fvade the issue.
"1 don't think the report is eithe
cogent or conclusive," said Dr. Carsten
sen. "It doesn't settle anything. I
that is all the defense they have the;
haven't helped the proceeding.
"We hud hoped for some acknowledg
ment of manifest impropriety on th
part of Dr. Grant, but apparently ther
is none. If he had acknowledged an;
impropriety there would have been
disposition on the part of the clergy
men to be satisfied with a repriman
for him. This rejport seems to be a
attempt at justification."
Dr. Carstensen refuted the assertio
of one member of the vestry yestei
day that Dr. Grant's use of the churc
as a forum was legal, saying Dr. Grar
had no right to use the church "fc
profane, unhallowed purposes."
Dr. Carstensen also declared that h
now has proof for the third charg
the three clergymen are expected t
lodge against Dr. Grant in case Bisho
Burch does not call a church tria
This proof is in the form of coui
records, Dr. Carstensen said, showin
that Dr. Grant had married at lea;
one divorcee contrary to church canon
Look to Bishop for Aid
"We expect the Bishop to do tr
right thing," said Dr. Carstense
"Meantime, the manly thing for D
Grant to do would be to join.such
church as the Community Churc
where unrestricted beliefs au> pe?
missible. His continued presence
the Episcopal Church is an anomaly
One feature of Dr. Grant's long le
ter of defense was a wide range (
subjects touched upon, frequently
epigrammatic vein. "Deportation ad<
to the mental resources of people wil
whom we arc at war," he said. "I
sending leaders to them." "Kuss
usks bread and we send 'Bolsheviks.'
"Prohibition has made room in mar
?.risona." "Give the worst boys tl
jest teachers. Give aliena onr be
laws and our most Intelligent atte:
? tion." "Personally I am as much for
i law' and order ss any Presidential
j candidate."
i Commenting on the law under which
! the "Reds" were deported, he cited
! a view of it given by "The New Re
j public" on December 24, in which it
! was declared that any non-citizen can '
be banished from the United States ?
' "not for what he has done not even j
; for what he has publi ly advocated, ?
i but for his private opinions as ex- l
j tracted in a governmental inquisition." ?
Substitute for Deportation i
As a substitute for deportation Dr. !
j Grant urged that "if the courts find '
j crime, then give prison sentences of J
| 100 years, electrocute, hang. As a form !
? of punishment deportation is not in ac-!
i cord with the spirit of American insti- !
tutions."
While he expressed in one place ad- '
i miration for the new type of labor!
i leader in this country, Dr. Grant de- j
I clared that he c?>uld not "with satis- j
I faction view the lobbies in Washington I
i conducted by the American Federation i
| of Labor." He also took occasion to j
i say, in speaking of the ministry as a !
| profession, that the clergyman is so ?
! successful at his chosen work of help-1
ing people in a direct "hand-to-hand !
' way" that "68 oer cent of the Episcopal !
I cvlergymen receive $1,400 a year or j
! less."
j George Gordon Battle, one of the J
? church wardens, said last night that ?
; Dr. Grant's long letter of defense was
! written without the vestry being in ?
; any way consulted, and that the Sun
! day night forum meetings would con
| tinue.
Points Made in Defense
i Some of the principal points in Dr. j
j Grant's defense were:
Concerning deportation in general?
That it is un-American, inconsistent
? with popular government, useless as ai
i cure for industrial unrest and as such j
! based on "dangerous ignorance," is
' "near-persecution," and has already
i been tried in this country and failed
* in the case of deportations in Colonial
: days for religious beliefs among the
Baptists, Quakers and members of the l
Church of England.
Concerning the Buford deportations'? i
? That they shocked the country gener
' ally, were unfair, contrary to the no
j blest traditions of American history,!
, smacked of ex post facto legislation
and meant adding to the mental re- ;
1 sources of people with whom this coun
' try is at war by sending- them leaders.
Concerning the correct handling of,!
i the alien?That to him be given the
j best laws and the most intelligent edu
' cation; that if he breaks the law, he
be tried fairly and punished with
j prison sentences, electrocution or
I hanging.
! Concerning extremists among the
; aliens?That there are fewer than
; 100.000 such; that to deport them is to
j sidestep, not cure, a problem; that de
! portation of such persons means deal
! ing hardly with persons lacking even
| the come-back of the ballot or the back
j ing of any organized government.
Word Concerning Labor
Concerning labor?That deportation
means depleting the supply of Ameri?
can labor; that labor problems can
be solved only by intelligence, informa
, tion, patient discussion and good will;
: that there are now fewer agitators
among labor; t hat organized labor
should not maintain lobbies; that labor ?
I leader:-- are using new tactics.
i Concerning laws?That the interpre
' tation and enforcement of laws by the
Bureau of Immigration may force
1 banishment for the holding of unex?
pressed opinions extracted by govern
; mental inquisition; that prejudice and
I ignorance can sway Department of
Labor officials; that ignorance and
poverty can hurt the case of an aliei.
prisoner; that inferior legal methods
j are considered good enough for an
'? alien.
I Miss Sparkes Sings in Recital
; Metropolitan Company Member
Pleases in Her New Field
Miss Leonora Sparkes has long been
| a member of the Metropolitan Opera
j Company, where she has "been a useful.
? if not a precisely brilliant artist. She
I appeared yesterday afternoon in a new
j Held, but one in which she has had
I considerable experience in England.
! Her appearance was at Aeolian Halt,
j where an audience of capacity size
i evinced an interest that was more than
merely friendly. It was evident long
before Miss Sparkes had sung the Jirst
I group that her true vocation lies not
in the world of opera, but in the inti
| mate region of song recital. Her in
| terpretations were intelligent and
I tilled with charm, and her voice warm
i in quality "and easily produced. In
' deed, it seemed a different voice from
j the one the Metropolitan's patrons have
j been accustomed to, proving once more
I that the size of the Broadway audi-!
| torium is fatal to many a really ad
! mirable artist.
Miss Sparkes sang everything well !
) and some things superbly. In the lat?
ter category were the air of Lia from
! Debussy's "L'Enfant Prodigue," the j
I same composer's "La Mer est plus!
I belle," Goring Thomas's "Le Baiser,"!
?and last but not least, "Believe Me,
| if all Those Endearing Young Charms."!
i In all of these the clarity of her enun
ciation, the uniformity of her scale I
; and the purity of her tone were finely!
! evident, while when necessary she dis-1
? played an emotional warmth which was!
: unexpected by those who had known !
? her only in opera. Other of her songs;
were Coccini's "Amarilli," Scarlatti's,
/'Le Violette,"the romanza from Cata-:
loni's ''La Wally," and a group of:
Dvorak. The accompaniments of Roger!
I Deming were admirably sympathetic.
Woolworth Furniture to Go'
! The furnishings from the home of the
> late Frank W. Woolworth, at 990 Fifth
I Avenue, were placed on exhibition at
! Silo's Fifth Avenue Art Galleries yester
j day, where they may be seen until Jan
; uary 21, when they will be sold at auc
j tion. Mo3t of the furniture consists of
I modern reproductions of French periods,
I with hangings to match every suit.
! Other articles in the collection include
1 tapestries and paintings.
The total for the day's sale of the
i library of the late Theodore Low De
j Vinne at the Anderson Galleries was
! $3 079.5. R. M. Mitchell, agent, paid
I $450 for a valuable collection of old
i title-pages, printers' devices, etc., which
! was the record price for the afternoon.
The exceedingly scarce first edition of

The oldest form of newspaper
advertising.
Classified advertising is the oldest form of
newspaper advertising, but in the old days it
wasn't "Classified" ; it was set in the same size
type, but it was scattered here, there and every?
where in the paper.
Some one whose name is lost to history?it
was probably Henry B. Efficient?had the novel
idea of talcing all these small, scattered advertise?
ments and grouping them under suitable head?
ings. Thus were born the Classified Adver?
tising Columns of the present day newspaper.
If you are in need of help, want a position,
want to buy or sell, look in the classified columns
to-day, and if you don't find what you want tele?
phone Beekman 3000 and let us insert a classified
advertisement for you. Bill will be sent after in?
