Stricken blind, deaf and mute at 19 months, she used all the hard- won skill of many years to address the District Library Association from a prepared paper and to an- swer questions from her audience. Miss Polly Thompson, her constant | companion, stood beside Miss Keller | to repeat each of the author’s state- ments to make sure the audience | grasped them and to spell questions into her hands. ‘What is Miss Keller's favorite book?” asked Mrs. Philip Smith, chairman in the District of the Nation-wide drive for 10,000,000 books for soldiers. “The Bible.” “River of Light.” Miss Thompson did not need to repeat this for the audience. After a moment of complete silence, Miss Keller went on. “All through the years,” she said, “it has flowed .through my silent darkness—a river of light.” In her prepared address Miss Kel- ler had mentioned that she had | heard service men read few aias-| sics. Great weapons for the sol- dier’s “spiritual armory” could be| provided by great literature, she said, but added she considered any book precious which gave a moment | of freedom. Presenting one of her own books, “The World I Live In” to John Russell Mason, president of the as- | sociation, she declared that when she holds a book in her hand, “lim- itations fall away from me more than at any other time and I am free” From the audience came a ques- | wrapping materials is a long fiber | paper made directly from wood pulp. | mands. tion—if Miss Keller liked Mark Twain as well as biography, philos- ophy and social science? ‘When the; group laughed at the query, Miss Keller laughed, too. { “I can hear through the ears in| my feet,” she said.

Her voice is soft with only its| lack of expression and odd dwellings | on certain syllables to betray the} manner in which she learned to | | talk. [ | " Last night she seemed to respond | to audience enthusiasm. In reply | | to questions her speech was nearly | as clear as that of her interlocutor. Someone questioned at last that | | Miss Keller would be able to con- | | tinue much longer standing in a| | long blue evening dress she had | | never seen before an audience she | | could not hear and ariswering their | | questions in a voice it took her years | | to acquire. 5 | “No, ask me another question,” | said Miss Keller, “I will be glad to | try it.” 1 When she added, “I will try any- | thing once,” the audience broke into | applause. When the audience finally let Miss Keller go, she climbed the steps of Coolidge Hall to sit between Miss Thompson and Mrs. Smith while films on Hawail were shown by John V. Hansen. | “When the blues and greens and | soft pastels of the Hawaiian scenery | were flashed on the screen Miss | Keller murmured delight. Her two | companions were spelling out into her hands the quality of the color and tapping her fingers in time to | the accompanying guitars. The Victory Book Campaign, for which Miss Keller was making an appeal, already has collected mote Wrapping Contest Planned To Teach Paper Conservation Star’s World War Campaign Showed U. S. How to Save 400 Tons Daily America must change its bundle- wrapping habits. Gone are the days, for instance, in which the practical joker sends a great parcel of 2 or 3 cubic feet capacity which when opened dis- closes another smaller container and so on down to the final package which incloses a small bottle of perfume. Gone, soon, will be the day in more serious fields in which great | quantities of unnecessary wrapping = material have been consumed by the merchants, small and large, in mak- ing delivery to their customers or in preparing packages which are car- ried from the store. There is an impending shortage of kraft paper which already is being felt seriously in many lines of in- dustry. The heavy paper used in The development of the defense program has put a tremendous strain on existing facilities for its production and there is little possi- bility that these facilities can be in- | creased to meet the growing de- Big Saving Effected. The only method by which the problem can be solved is to eliminate all wasteful use. The Star is undertaking to bring to the Washington public a full understanding of the situation. It is hoped that purchasers in the Dis- trict and its suburbs may be ac- quainted with methods by which very substantial savings can be effected. | During the First World War, a | similar condition, existed and The Star, seeking to dramatize the situ- ation, promoted a bundle-wrapping contest among employes of various stores to which the public was in- vited. So successful was the undertaking, | it was copied all over the United | States and in a very short time an average saving of 400 tons of wrap- ping paper per day was reported. The time appears pressingly at hand to bring this subject again to public attention. To that end, vari- ous leading merchants and repre- sentatives of the Merchants and Manufacturers Association were ap- proached. Unanimous approval of the project was instantly forthcom- ing and promises of enthusiastic co- operation were given. Your Income Tax-— No. 23—Income Constructively Received Income which becomeés the prop- erty of a person during the taxable year should be included in his gross income even though he does not have physical possession of it. This occurs where income is uncondition- ally credited to his account or set apart subject to his order at any time, and such income is said to have been constructively received. If, under an agreement, a tax- payer’s debt is paid for his benefit by another, the effect is the same as if the money had been paid to| the taxpayer and he transmitted it to his creditor. It often happens that a taxpayer who owns property agrees that the income from such property shall be paid .to a third party, or he may contract to per-| than 25,000 books in the District, as | § | well as 550 phonograph records and | 50 pieces of music. Conservation of Paper Every citizen is called upon to see that not a pound of paper is wasted. Demand from every clerk that any unnecessary wrapping of packages or un- necessary use of paper bags be dispensed with. v\r;easte paper for paperboard is vital to the packaging of_ a great quantity of war equip- ment.

The Star, therefore, is arranging a bundle-wrapping contest to be held in a downtown auditorium on the evening of February 5. The place will be announced later. A committee representing various department and chain. store execu- tives will be selected and details of the program will be completed shortly. During the evening there will be various contests for which The Star will offer Defense bonds and Defense stamps as prizes. In addition there will be an entertain- ment program including moving pic- tures. It is hoped that out of the drama- tization of the situation the public will be educated to receive many of its presently wrappea articles in the | containers which cover them as they rest on the store shelves and coun- ters. It is hoped that, going even further, purchasers will ask that articles be given them unwrapped. It has been a common spectacle to see a clerk take a tube of tooth paste, for instance, from a shelf and wrap it or place it in a bag: Or it may be that a package of breakfast food or a pair of shoes already pro- tected in a box at the time of ship- ment from the factory has been se- curely hidden beneath a covering | of plain and unnecessary wrapping paper. Waste Must Be Curtailed. The same is true for books, for many articles of clothing, for cos- metics and other kinds of toilet goods, for various dry groceries and so on through an infinite list of articles which have been wastefully | wrapped in the past. | Conditions are different now.

In each case the amount paid to the third party at the taxpayer’s order is taxable to the taxpayer as constructively received income. ‘Where interest coupons have ma- tured and are payable, such interest, though not yet collected, is to be included in gross income of the | owner of the coupons for the year | during which the coupons mature, | unless it can be shown that there | are no funds available for payment of the interest during that year.

If, however, the amount of such credits cannot be drawn by the shareholder until the maturity of the share in a future year, then it is not income to him during the year of the credit.

Aufo Parking 'Profiteering’ Is Banned in New Bill The Public Utilities Commission would be given complete control : over operations of commercial ga- rages and automobile parking lots and the rates they charge, under provisions of a bill introduced tc- day by Representative Dirksen, Re- publican, of Illinois. . Primary purpose of the proposed legislation, Mr, Dirksen said, is to prevent “profiteering” by Washing- ton garage and parking lot operators. Broad in scope, the bill would give the commission authority to clas- sify garages and parking lots “as it may deem necessary in the public interest,” and to fix “fair and rea- sonable charges” for each type of accommodation. Other provisions would require garage and parking lot operators to take out a license and make bond of $1,000 for payment of any, Judg- ment for damage to motor vehicles while in storage. The annual license fee prescribed is $10 for each capacity of 25 vehicles or less and $5 for each additional capacity of 25 - vehicles, or major fraction thereof. . Penalty for violation of regulation promulgated by the commission would be a maximum fine of $300 or imprisonment for not more than 80 days. Our boys at the front need s steady flow of supplies.
