MILLIONS LOST In payment of U. 8. TAXES. T. S. government officials estimate that tax- Bajers last year overpaid more than $200.000.- through overpayment of taxes te the gov- ernment and through penaities assessed as s result of initial underpayments. Thousands of firms are unknowingly paying wpon rrect tax returns amounts ranging from a few dollars to several thousands. Ignorance of how to apply ALL aliowable reductions and exemptions that are legal is re- sulting in thousands of — errors.

Confidence must be restored, the value of trade-mark- ed merchandise must be maintained. and to accomplish this the public must be warned against buying goods of doubtful value and strongly urged to patronize products of estab- lished and attested worth. ‘REST’ LEGISLATION WAITS Calder Bill May Not Be Acted Upon Until Next Session.

Missing articles included the pas- tor's monogrammed silver cigarette case, ‘a derby hat and sums_in cash ranging from car fare to $10. The thief was first espied by Mrs. Archibald Shaw, the choir mother, who saw him in the choir cloak- room. He explained that he was attending the services and lost his ‘way. Later he was noticed in the congregation. As the man left the church an usher shook hands with him and asked him to return.

Another Plea for the Coach. To the Editor of The Star: It seems that the sentiment con- tained in my suggestion that the Washington family coach be used in the inaugural parade as a presiden- tial carriage has been lost sight of, or has been subordinated to ease and luxury in the choice of a modern automobile. I am sure that no single feature of the parade would attract as much attention or please the peo- ple more. It would be remembered when every other feature was forgot- ten. It would also add a new interest to the historic vehicle all through the coming years to say that it was used 120 years after the death of the first President to convey two of hi: successors to and from the inaugura- tion in 1921. The American people would not consider it in the slightest degree “reactionary” for the chief ex- ecutive to ride in this coach, but would applaud the action as an honor to the father of our country and a greater honor to the man of the pres- ent hour. If we cannot have this, how_ would it do to have George Washington, Martha Washington and Nellie Custiss impersonated and use the coach anyway? JAMES T.

Purchase of 15,000 re- frigerator cars, at a cost of $67,- 500,000, and 1,500 new locomotives, at a cost of $105,000,000, is planned, and contracts already have been made for 1,200 passenger cars, to cost $42,000,000. In addition to cquipment contract- ed for by the railroads, the Pullman Company, Mr. Binkerd said, is build- ing 500 new cars, none having been built during federal control. Mr. Bifikerd declared it would be impossible for the railroads to make large capital expenditures, even if the new freight and passenger rates bring the roads a 6 per cent return, as _they would be forced to go into a 7'and 8 per cent money market to secure needed funds. —_—— PENNSY T0 REDUCE FORCE Columbus Division' Will Release Between 400 and 500 Men.

Investigations and prosecutions un- der the Mann “white slave” act are giving the Department ot Justice offi- cials more to do at present than at any time since the law became oper- ative, and the indications are that the convictions during the present fiscal vear will considerably exceed those of last year, whefi the number was 342. The department, through the bureau of investigation, concerns itself only with cases in which vice is being promoted through interstate traffic for profit, and does not, as a rule, attempt to exercise a police power against im- morality. Where a case is particular- 1y notorious, or where the victim is under age, or has been grossly de- ceived, prosecution is pushed in the federal courts. _ Increased work is heing put on the bureau also because of the statute making it a federal offense to take a stclen automobile from one state to another. The list of such presecu- tions is growing rapidly, and attention was called to the peculiar fact by officials today that the law in ques- tion places automobiles in an entirely different class from other articles of personal property, as it is not an of- fense against the federal statutes to take a stolen watch, or horse, or simi- lar chattels from one state to another.

VOIGE COMMONITY - CENTER NEED HERE §Board of Trade Urges Con-! | gress:to Restore $35,000 ! Appropriation. | Believing that the community ser lice feature of the public schools is | meecting the needs of the people for | | self-expression, developing community i | interests and fostering civic pride, the | | board of directors of the Washington Board of Trade, at a meeting yester- day, adopted a resolution urging Con- | gress to restore the item of $35.000 for the maintenance of community centers in the public ‘school buildings of the | District of Columbia. The directors point out in the reso- | lution that a joint committee of the { Washington Chamber of Commerce |and the Board of Trade made an ex- | tensive investigation of the commu- nity work in the schools and that the findings of the committee were unani- mously in favor of the work done by the community centers. The investi- gation took in every phase of commu- nity work, and the committee found that the community centers of the schools were of much more bene- fi the people than the community service incorporated, an outgrowth of the war camp community service. The directors are anxious that the work donme by the community centers be continued. Such use of the public schools, in the opinion of the board, is economically right, on account of the large investment in public schoo! | buildings, and because the money to; build and maintain these buildings is supplied by the people through their taxes, and because such community use of the public school buildings has the approval and support of Congress. On receipt of a letter from the in- augural coMmitiee calling the atten- tion of the directors to previous in- augurations, when “unauthorized in- dividuals have printed certain valu- able information and published their own unauthorized programs and sold them on the streets at much less fig- ure than the official program sold,” the directors voted to request all mer- chants of the city to advertise only in_the official publication. The following were elected members of the board: Samuel R. Baulsir, H. McLin Bell, S. R. Bowen, Ernest W. Brown, Maynard C. Burrell, Joseph Burrows, jr.; W, H. Dann, Hugh W. Fred, Lawton G. Herriman, H. A. Lin- ger, Dr. J. Ramsey Nevitt, Marshall W.' Pickering, and Lawrence Walker. BURKE MADE CLERK. Pennsylvanian Made Aid to As- sistant Secretary of War. ‘Thomas J.
