MANILA. P. I-, January 13.
(Special Correspondence.) We did
not go to Corregidor on Wednesday
after all The U S transport Logan,
coming in from San Francisco, spoiled
it all, holding the Liscomb until five
o'clock in the afternoon, and then, of
course, we would have reached the
fortiied island after dark and could
have seen nothing as we would have
left early next morning The disap
pointment of Captain Barclay and our
selves was mutual, hut the skipper is
to take a day off Saturday and take us
for a drive and lunch at Fort Mc
Kinley, and in the evening we are to
dine at the Army and Navy Club with
Judge and Mrs Crossfield and the cap
tain is to be there, along with some
other former Oregonians
Judge Crossfield, who has been in
the Philippines 23 years, picked me up
Wednesday morning, and in two hours
we did the University Club, the Swiss
Club, the Spnish Club, the Army and
Navy Club and the Elks Club. We met
a lot of fellows In the afternoon the
Judge came again, and took the fam
ily out to the Country Club for tea
and then to the Elks Club before din
ner He is certainly a hospitable
scout.
Yesterday morning Kellogg, who
has returned from a flying trip to
Baguio, joined me in a shopping trip
and after a final try-on of some more
whites, we were joined at lunch by
Mr. and Mrs. Kerby and Governor
Ventura, and the latter took all of us
out for a 72 kilometer drive to his na
tive province of Pampanga. We had a
very pleasant drive through rice fields
and sugar plantations and arrived at,
San Fernando for tea at the residence
of the provincal treasurer, Mr. Isobai
De Silva, who has two charming
daughters. We inspected the huge
sugar mill and came back to the hotel
for a late dinner.
The Governor-General and Mrs.
Leonard Wood were our hosts for
luncheon today at the palace. There
were five other Americans as guests,
besides the Governor's Chief of Staff,
Colonel McCoy, and Miss Wood and
Lieutenant Osborne Wood. The palace
was built in the days of the Spanish
Governors, but some additions and im
provements have been made. The ver
anda, where coffee and cigars were
served, overlooks the Pasig river. The
original patio has been floored over,
making an immense room, hung with
paintings of Governors of the long
ago. In a small drawing room, where
Aguinaldo was held as a prisoner at
the close of the insurrection, Is a pic-,
ture of the Filipino general, flanked
by portraits of McKinley and Taft.
Tonight we dine with Justice
Charles A. Johns and Mrs. Johns, whoupply. of merchandise and materials
came out from Oregon last September.
In twenty minutes this morning we
had as much rain as would fall in the
Willamette Valley in 24 hours.

5,000 PEOPLE HANDLED
BY ELEVATOR EVERY DAY
Record Kept by Operators
Shows Period of Heaviest
Use Is on Afternoon Shift.
Oregon City's free municipal eleva
tor, which runs from Railroad evenue
. to the top of the bluff at 7th street,
carries an average of 5,000 people a
day, according to a survey made by
the operators.
The average was gained after an
actual count made during the past
month, and required considerable
time due to the fact that the elevator
was closed for a short period during
a number of days. x
John Straight and A. L. Blanchard,
who handle the two shifts, kept a
tally of the number of people, and
found that they ran from 1 to 15. A
total of trips from 400 to 700 a day
are made. The morning shift from
6:30 to 2:30 carries 2,000 people
while the evening shift which oper
ates until 10:30 carries 3,000. The
heaviest period is found around six
o'clock in the evning, but noon and
the morning hours run ahead of the
middle hours of the day.
$18 FOR RELIEF WORK
Eastham school of this city has
come through with flying colors in
assisting the Near Eastern Relief.
On Friday the 13 rooms of the build
ing raised $78 for the starving chil
dren. Each room donated $6 towards
the cause.

INFORMATION ON INCOME TAX
Misunderstandings Created b y Exemption Clause
Explained by Internal Revenue Department
(This is the second of a series
of articles appearing in the Enter
prise explaining the applications
of the new Income Tax. law.
Editor.)
Forms for making returns of income
for the year af 1921 have been revised
and simplified, and contain instruc
tions which If carefully followed will
be of material aid, to taxpayers in
the avoidance of errors.
Many of these errors are due to mis
understanding of the exemptions al
lowed a head of a family, defined by
Treasury regulations, as a "person
who actually supports and maintains
in one household one or more individu
als who' are closely connected with
him by blod relationship, relationship
by marriage or by adoption, or whose
right to exercise family control and
provide for these dependents is based
upon some moral or legal obligation."
FAMILY HEADS DEFINED
The exemptions allowed a head of
a family under the revenue act of
1921 are the same as granted a mar
him by blood relationship, relationship
income for 1921 was $5,000 or less and
$2,000 where the net income exceed
ed $5,000. Circumstances surrounding
each individual case determine large
ly whether a person is entitled to, such
exemption.
A single person the term including
widowers, widows, . and persons not
living with wife or husband is the
head of a family if he is the sole sup
port of one or more relatives living in
the same house with him, and if he
exercises control of household affairs.
A married person living with husband
or wife, in addition to the exemptions
allowed such persons, can not claim
an exemption as the head of a family,
irrespective of the support of others in
the household.
EXEMPTIONS NOT FOR ALL
Whether a person who does not con
tinuously live in the same house with
dependent relatives is entitled to the
exemptions depends upon the char
acter of the separation. If a parent
is away on business part of the year
or a child or other dependent is away
on a visit, the common home being
maintained, the exemptions may be
claimed. If a parent is compelled to
maintain his dependent children with
relatives, or in a boarding house, the
exemption may stil apply. If, how
ever, the dependent continuously andj
LIQUIDATION OF RAW MATERIALS THOROUGH
Report of Federal Reserve Bank Shows Prices in Twelve
Basic Stocks Close to Pre-War Level of 1913.
BY ROBERT
President, Lumbermans Trust Com
pany Bank, Portland, Ore.
In order to form" an intelligent opin
ion of the business and financial pros
pects for the coming year it is neces
sary first to ascertain what were the
main factors in bringing to an end
the business expansion of 1919 and
1920, and then to examie these major
causes to determine whether or not
they have been eliminated in whole or
in part or are still preventing a return
of prosperity.
Early in 1920, it began to be realiz
ed that there had been a miscalcula
tion of the ratio between the existing
and the demand for them, and of the
effect of continually rising prices.
Those connected with industries
whose product is distributed very
largely during fairly definitely fixed
and comparatively short selling sea
sons, and which must manufacture for
stock between the seasons, found on
closer inspection that merchants'
shelves were not bare as had been sup
posed but that on the contrary ware
houses were full and that the buyers
demands had suddenly subsided. The
supposed shortage of goods was seen
to be the result of a great deal of
speculation supplemented by a crip
pled transportation system.
People everywhere had been on a
spending orgy a natural reaction
from wartime restraints but the un
precendented high prices for com mod-
ities were getting to be out of reach.
This is a very important point be-
cause the purchasing power of the
largest single body of customers in
the country, the farmers, began to de
cline in 1919. Farm product prices as
a whole, continued, to increase after
that time, but at a slower rate than
most groups of commodities so that
the effect was to force the farmer to
sell more of his produce to buy the
things he needed. When the farmer's
purchasing power declines, business
throughout the United States is gea
erally apt to slow down.
Have the causes of the depression
been eliminated or even partially recti
fied? A categorical "Yes" or "No" is
not sufficient. As far as supply is con
cerned, the largest excess stocks were
of raw materials. Without a doubt,
there was a surplus of many lines of
finished goods, but it did not compare
with the over-supply of raw materials.
As a rule, a complete change has oc
curred so that at present there does
not appear to be an unwieldly surplus
of the more important commodities.
The Federal Reserve Bank of New
York computes eacn week the aver
age price of 12 basic raw materials.
The fact the average price has remain
ed close to the 1913 average since
June would seem to indicate that the
liquidation among these raw materials
has been quite thorough. The stocks
of two commodities intimately con
nected with the largest industries in
the country, wool and cotton were
greatly in excess of normal require
ments a year ago. Today there is bare
ly enough cotton to provide for a con
tinuance of the present rate of con
sumption until another group is
gathered next summer, while there is
already apprehension over a scarcity
of desirable grades of wool.
As a general rule the existent stocks
of raw materials used for manufactur
ing purposes are not excessive. On the
j other hand, the stocks of foodstuffs
sucn as uuru, wucai uuu sugar bi-iii
appear to be larger than present re
quirements and according do not have
an upward price tendency. Therefore
the farmer is not able to get a larger
amount of other commodities in ex
change for a given quantity of his
product than he was a year ago 12
without necessity makes his home else
where than with his benefactor, the
latter is- not the head of a family, Ir
respective of the question- of support,
A taxpayer who is not the head
of a family may still be allowed the
exemption of $400 for each person de
pendent upon him for chief support,
if such person Is under 18 years of
age or incapable of sel-support be
cause mentally or physically defective.
TAX EXAMPLES GIVEN
Following are concrete examples of
taxes due under the revenue act of
1921 and circumstances governing ex
emptions allowed a head of a family
and for dependents:
A married couple living together
with two children, 10 and 12 years
old, had a net income for 1921 of $4,
500. Their tax is $48, which is 4 per
cent of $1,200, the amount of their
net income less the exemption of $2,
500 for married persons whose . net
income was less than $5,000, plus $400
for each dependent. The tax on the
same income for the year 1920 was $84.
A married couple living together
with two children, 10 and 12 years
old, had a net income for 1921 of
$6,000. Their) normal tax is $128,
which is 4 per cent on $3,200, the
amount of their net income less the
exemption of $2,000 allowed married
persons whose net income was in ex
cess of $5,000, plus $400 for each de
pendent, . On the same income for
1920 the normal tax was $144.
FAMILY TAX EXPLAINED
A single person living at home and
supporting an invalid mother and sis
ter 17 years old and had a net income
for 1921 of $3,500. His tax is $8. He is
allowed the $2,50o individual exemp
tion granted the . head of a family
whose net income was less than $5,000,
it should be noted that the $400 addi
tional exemption for dependents does
not apply to husband or wife, even
though either one has become a total
burden upon the other.) A single
man lives with and supports a mother
50 years old and two sisters 19 and
21 years old. He is allowed an ex
emption as head of a family ($2,500
or $2,000, depending upon whether his
net income was $5,000 or less or in
excess of $5,000) butjiot the $400 ex
emption for dependents, since his
sisters are neither under 18 years of
age, nor mentally nor physically in
capacitated. E. SMITH,
months without improvement. This is
an important factor which must be
reckoned with in forecasting business
activity during 1922.
The relative size of the already
available stocks of materials is but a
temporary phase of the situation. How
to utilize the surplus productive capa
city of the country is a question which
will no doubt receive attention for
several years. New factories and ex
tensions to existing plants were made
during the warperiod and the two
years of high prices without in many
cases the exercise of sound business
discretion. - The immediate and yet
far-reaching effect of these is to hand
icap the concerns involved with bur
densome fixed charges and overhead
expenses. A minor effect is that it
gives the appearance of more unem
ployment than is really present, there
by causing a loss of confidence.
Demand is the complement of sup
ply. Demand becomes less insistent
when comodity prices soar too high.
Yet the present demand of the ulti
mate consumer for ordinary merchan
dise as registered by the volume of
sales made by representative depart
ment stores is surprisingly large. The
Christmas trade this year from early
reports was the largest in the history
of many old and well known concerns.
The broad class of so-called
"staples" is selling readily and there
is aparently no reason why they should
not continue to do so. A glance at the
group of products known as producer's
goous gooas usea in iunner manu-
facture reveals a different story. Iron
and steel mills are running at less
than one-half Of capacity. The output
of bituminous coal is an abnormally
low rate . Many copper mines are still
closed. These are a few instances of
basic industries in which there are no
excessive stocks existent and yet
which are decidedly quiet.
There are several reasons for this
stagnation, but the chief ones hinge on
the price factor and plant expansion,
not, as is often stated, entirely on the
loss of foreign trade. The trouble
from plant expansion has been pre
viouKly noted. It will probably require
neveral years for the normal demands
of trade to equal the available output
of a number of our industries.
Meantime, there will bo severe corn
petition, which will in itself tend to
reduce overhead expenses. This prob
lem can be worked out only through
the pasage of time, and should contin
ually diminish.
But the matter of prices is more
serious because it is Inseparably con
nected with the question of labor costs
noting that labor costs do not mean
wages. The relation which existed be
fore the war between wages in gen
eral and commodity prices has been
changed. Either the methods of con
ducting industry must be altered to
meet the present labor conditions, or
priges and wages must approach the
old balance before business can enter
upon another period of sustained
prosperity.
The movement of commodity prices
during the World War closely paralled
that of the Civil War period. If the
future price trend Is to be a repetition
of that of 1865 to 1896, there should
be a gradual downward movement in
prices for several years to come.
But it would not necessarily follow
that wages would decline in. purchas
ing power during the coming years. If,
as just suggested, the present methods
of merchandising for instance, are al
tered so as to reduce the cost of dlstri- j
bution, or, manufacturing processes i
are improved by new machinery, ; in- j
ventions, discoveries, and cheaper fuel, j
thereby lessening production costs, or
if artificial restriction of labor's out
put is eliminated or moderated An
order to reduce labor costs, then It
will be entirely possible for wages to
remain high in relation to commodity
prices.
It will be seen from this discussion
that apparently considerable time will
be required before trade will so in
crease that it will be able to consume
all of the goods that the country can
produce. But in the meantime, there
will undoubtedly be periods when the
supply of goods available at the mo
ment is hardly sufficient to meet the
demand, and there will be an increase
in business activity of more or less
temporary nature. This condition is
apparently approaching, and it is pos
sible that this year will be one of the
periods of increased business and in
dustrial activity throughout the country.

Helps for the Hostess
By Elizabeth Burt Smith
Before the Meal.
Mingle with all. making for a happy,
sociable period.
Be quick to introduce guests, show
ing them every attention and court
sy Lead the way into the dining room.
Service at Table.
Anticipate the needs of those at the
table, asking to have food passed be
fore it is asked for.
Give courteous requests to the maia
for ainy desired service, in a quiet
voice, waiting for her to come near
before addressing her.
See that all of one course is servea
before asking the maid to rerui
tumblers or get extra things, such as
bread, extra silver, etc.
Show nc signs of impatience nor
haste. Poise is the desired end.
In Eating.
Give the cue for all at the table to
begin eating, by starting Pf1?1!
when all are served, being careful to
choose the proper silver for the fooa
Remember the saying. "If in doubt
watch the Hostess," and set the besi
possible example, not only in eating,
but in your position at the table, in
youV-conversation, and quality of
voice.
Conversation at the Table.
The hostess should launch the con
versation. She should control the conversation,
being quick to change the subject
tactfully if along lines not suitable.
She should make sure that everyone
is Included. "
By FLORENCE
RIDDICK BOYS
On Finishing the Meal.
The hostess should be the first one
at the table to fold her napkin, thus
giving the cue to the others to fold
theirs.
She rises from the table first, the
others following. The hostess leads
the way from the dining room.
General Suggestions
The hostes should put her guests at
ease and should herself be at ease.
She should not be embarrased, but
self-possessed. To accomplish this, try
not to be self conscious. Remember
that self-respect is as much a virtue
as respect for others.
Do not ask anyone if he will have
"more" meat, bread, etc. It is more
polite to say, "Let me serve you
"some" meat, thus not implying that
it is a second helping. .
Do not suggest serving, anyone a
second helping at the latter part of
a course ,as this would cause the en
tire company to wait for one or two
to finish, which is embarassing to all.
WOMAM-I-TORIALS
International Federation of Univer
sity Women.
Another agency leading to inter
national friendship and understanding
ig the recently organized International
Federation of University Women.
Women university graduates from
many countries met in London "to
promote intercourse and mutual as
sistance among universities and their
graduates of all countries. Great
Britain and America were leaders in
the movement and were joined by ten
national associations of university
women.
It is not much over twenty-five
years that women have been allowed
to take university degrees. In Spain
the law stipulated, as a condition,
that "order was not to be disturbed."
In many-universities women are not
yet permitted degrees altho they may
listen to the lectures, and in many
cases take the .examinations, when
they often make higher "grades than
their brothers.
Provisions for study abroad, op
portunities for university women to
do research work, hospitality com
mittees, international scholarships and
fellowships and university club houses
are resulting from this organization.
It will promote an understanding and
solidarity and clearing house of
thought for the intellectual women of
all nations.
Seein' Things.
Mother, your boys and girls will
like this idea of John James Tigert's,
the Commisisoner of Education. It is
a plan to bring the picture machine
into school houses everywhere and to
let the children see the things for
themselves instead of reading about
them. Scenes of everywhere, through
movies, and processes of manufacture,
and history repeating itself, as it has
a reputation for doing, on the picture
screen this time, that the children may
see Napolen marching and the Picket
Men picketing, and battles wagin
and all the scroll of the past unrolling
before their very eyes. Edison esti
mates that of every hundred facts we
learn, eighty-five come thru the sense
avenue of the eye. Those school
houses are on the right track, which
are installing moving picture ma
chines. Time will come when no school
houses will be without one!
Sourrds Good Enough to Eat.
Isn't this a pleasant description of a
school lunch?
Gave a hot-lunch demonstration at
the Oakland school. Appointed com
mittees to ""oversee the washing of
hands, placing paper napkins on desks,
passing lunch boxes and serving the
hot chocolate. When the children were
seated, we repeated in unison a bless
ing I had taught them before noon.
Every child drank and enjoyed his cup
of hot chocolate. The dish-washing
committee had only the cooking uten
sils to wash and put away as the chil
dren take their spoons and cups home
every night and bring them back clean
every morning. These lunches will be
carried cm during the winter. Iva

homa. Consider Miss Wooley.
It is often assumed that to be a
force, especially an executive force, a
woman must become aggressive, and
dictorial in manner. This is refuted
by the gentle sweetness of Miss Mary
Wooiey, for twenty years president of
Mount Holyoke College. Her admin
istration dates away back to the time
when woman had to assert her right
to an education in the face of an un
friendly public opinion. Thru all this
Miss Wooley has gone quietly so
thoroughly an intellectual influence
that she did not have to combat the
public to convince them of it.

A California bank sends out four
