The celebration was being held under the auspices of a local news paper. > Annie Mathews is about to enter i upon her second term as Register of New York County- The position pays $12,000 a year, and is said to be the , highest salaried public office ever f held by a woman in the United States.

SIMMONS’ MEWS ON TAXES MISQUOTED Charlotte Man Urges Building and Loan Tax Legislation. Washington, Dec. 21. Senator Simmons today sent a telegram to his office here saying he had. been misquoted by some of the state papers with respect to his tax views- The senator makes it plain he has expressed no opinion as to the repeal of the gift tax, or publicity of the in come tax returns. The telegram also states that he has not suggested any increase iu the exemptions allowed in the house bill. He favors, no far n.< possibile, the repeal of the consump tion and nuisance taxes. E, L. Iveesler, of the Charlotte Mutual Building and Loan associa tion, writes Senator Simmons: “The present revenue act exempts from income tax the dividends or in terest from domestic building and loan association up to S3OO per year. Such an increase in the exemption allowed w’ould encourage savings in vestments in local building and loan associations thereby providing more funds through mortage . loans for the erection or purchase of homes. In North Carolina the demand for i building and loan mpney so exceeds , the supply that applicants must wait ■ from six to 18 months for loans. The : building and. loan associations are ; offering practically the only long > time real estate loans available at six per cent interest without broker age- “l feel sure thqt your many con stitutents in this section would de -1 rive benefit from the passage of the proposed measure and that your sup- port of it would be greatly appre ciated-” r The first dental college for women , in the Philippines has been opened r. in Manila, w r ith a woman dentist as dean.
