Baltimore, March 2.—AVhen Vera, | Ootfntess Cathcart, ran afoul of the immigration authorities at Ellis Is land, observers were quick to . re mark that the United States appear ed to place considerable emphasis on the sanctity of Vhe marital tie. Students of morals find additional evidence for their contentions in the income-tax law, whereby, without question of his guilt, the man who has been divorced is taxed as if he were single, even though he may be paying alimony. Congress has pre pared a little joker for his benefit. Married men or head of families are exempt from income taxes up to $3,500; single men to $1,500. A di vorced man who still has to support his former wife by alimony might think he would receive credijt in some way when he pays inrtime taxes, but such is not the case. Such expenditures, according to Frank T. Benson, Deputy Collector ot Inter nal Revenue in charge of income taxes, go in the record merely as personal expenses, and are not de ductible for taxing purposes. On the other hand, Mr. Benson ex plained, the divorced woman does not have to include her ailmony in her income tax report as money re ceieved. In her case it is regarded as legitimate support funds in the same manner as if she still were married and her husband the only contribut ing factor in the home. Provides For Separation. In the same way, the man wno is separated from his wife and is will fully remaining away from her, even though he still continues to contrib ute to her support, is not entitled to exemptions and deductions that stay at-home married man receives. His status is the same as the divorced man. Mr. Benson asserted. “These, however,” Mr. Benson said, “are harder eases to decide than those of divorce, and nmch de pends upon the status of the rela tions existing or the character of the separation. AA r e have a number of such fami’y squabbles to adjust each year insofar as income taxes are concerned, but for the divorced man .there is but one answer—pay up. “We have frequent kicks from di vorced men about the alimony feat ure. but our instructions are spe cific. Only today there was a man in here who raved over the rukhig, but we could do nothing for him/’ Attend Sunday School Conference in Charlotte. Rev. and Airs. R. AI. Courtney. Prof, and Mrs. A. S.

Question: AA’ould you please ex plain the difference between the 18th amendment and the A'olstead act?” Answer: The 18th amendment which was adopted January 29, 1919, forbids the manufacture, sale or trans portation of intoxicating liquors for beverage purposes, but it does not define what intoxicating liquors are. The A’olstead act. which became law January 16, 1920, was intended to enforce this amendment. By it all liquors containing more than one-half of one per cent, of alcohol by volume are forbidden to be manufactured, •sold or transported. Burku Amputated Leg. There is a popu'ar superstition that an amputated limb will give its former owner pain unless it is pro perly buried in “ natural position.
