LOS ANGE: Lioyd Wright, January 31—| attorney for Charlie Chaplin, today was cast for an im portant role in the film comedian's | domestic drama of real life, as, coun- sel for Lita Grey Chaplin demanded & “close-up” view of the actor’s legal ) representative. Attorneys for Mrs. Chaplin sought | to learn what, if anything, Wright knows of the comedian’s financial af- fairs. They also want to know the | ,fatus of Wright's employment by "Chaplin in the divorce action brought by the actor’s 18-year-old wife. Threaten Contempt Action. Unable so far to obtain answers to their set.of 200 questions, pro- pounded to Wright in the form of a deposition, Mrs. Chaplin's counsel threatened to bring contempt proceed- ings. Wright, in refusing to answer, maintained that his relations with Chaplin are that of counsel and client and as such are privileged. Mrs. Chaplin’s attorneys contend that Wright is violating the court order calling for a deposition. Wright also is resisting another at- tempt to draw him into the case. He 7 has been named as one of the defend- ants in Mrs. Chaplin's divorce com- plaint. In a demurrer, filed last week, Wright contends that he has no in- terest in the Chaplin property and no Srounds exist for an action against im. Renew Alimony Demands. Mrs. Chaplin's attorneys will renew their attempts to collect temporary alimony and court costs awarded their client tomorrow, when they will go before the Appellate Court here and argue against the alternative writ of prohibition restraining the receivers in the divorce action from making the #payment. Chaplin's attorneys are seeking to have the writ made perma- nent. Income Tax Problems Simplified for All No. 14.

A taxpayer may conduct more than one business and claim a deduction for the business expenses of each, pro- vided he devotes sufficient time and at- tention to each. Typical expenses of a mercantile es- tablishment are amounts paid for ad- vertising, hire of clerks and other employes, rént, 'light,” heat, water, telephone, lnsurance and delivery ex- pense. The expenses of 'a manufac- turing business include Ilabor, raw material, supplles, ‘répairs, light and heat, power, selling costs, administra- tion, and similar’ charges. A professional man, such as a law- yer, doctor, architect, efc., may deduct the cost of supplies uud in his prac- tice, expenses paid in "the operation . and repair of an automobile used in making professional calls, dues to pro- fessional ‘societies, subscriptions to professional journals, office rent, cost of light, fuel, water, and telephone used in his office, and the hire of office assistants.

Woods Makes Strik- ing Observations ‘at West- ern High Commencement. ““The Freedom of Modern Youth was the subject of the Western High School ‘mid-year commencement ad- dress delivered this morning at the school auditorium by Dr. George B. ‘Woods, dean of the College of Liberal Arts, American University. What Is Real Pleasure? In explaining the attitude of mod- ern writers on the youth of today, Dr. Woods sald that if children are the same as their elders, people say they are mere imitators, with no initiative, no ingenuity and no _individuality, whereas if ‘they are different from their elders, people say they are too independent and self-willed. “Fundamentally different ideas as to what life is,” sald Dr. Woods, “as to what constitutes real pleasure and happiness are at the root of the mis- understanding. One generation thinks happiness is carelessness, hilarious fun; the other thinks it is sweet peace and contentment of mind, and both are right.” The commencement exercises were presided over by Dr. Frank W. Bal- lou, superintendent of schools,s while the diplomas were awarded by Joseph W. Cox, president of the Western High School Home and School Asso- clation, assisted by s Sue H. Gard- ner. Dr. Elmer vton, principal of Western High School, made the an- nouncements, and Miss Frances Rog- ers delivered the valedictory address. The musical program was rendered by the school orchestra, under the direc- tion of Miss Lucy G. Lynch and Miss Bernice Wagner, with violin solos by Miss Jean Westbroolk, accompanied by Frank Westbrook. Awarded Diplomas.
