lilGHWAV DEFENDED
Wc have had a letter Uefondlns the pipe line boulevard as proi)o»ed under the law fathered by Aasemblyman Tho- man A. McWhinney und In .-iddltion a real estate man lias maintained that the boulevard will 15c a great thing for the towns through which It may Ix- con¬ structed.
No one, w«t know, has ever deiilwl that the pipe lino boulevard would not be. a line thing to have and Mr. Mc¬ Whlnney's "dream" as he once called it, would bo a flne lmi)rovement for any place but do we want It at the price we have to pay?
First, It cannot be built for years and just merely a'cceptitiK the pipe line route through the decision ot the state high¬ ways conniil.sHioner—and wc will not have much to say al>out it anyway— means that no other statu highways can be imi)rovcd In this county for this year.
It means Ihat the county losses tho taxes on the area given by the city for the road, and there never was a time v'hen the city gave away anylhine that the county did not get the short end or the deal. If the city gives up any I:ind it will demand tax exemption for the full width of Ihe l)ipe line area Mr. McWhlnney's statement to the con trary notwitliHtandiiig.
Then also Is callod to the attention of the real estate nnd other men who would benellt the most that a beautiful boulevard is not built without enormou.'* cost. The state and county will build H -5-foot road, aud tli^; towns and vil¬ lages through which the Hno boulevard passes will pay for the line broad high¬ way that Is Mr. McWhlnney's "dream." It has been iralntedjuut that this section needs such u highway to relieve tralBe congestion on the Merrick Road. It may bo. cu11(k1 lo tho attention ot these good folks that when Sheiklun Avenue was Improved at something over $1,000,000 ot expense for the pur- po.-se of "relieving ti'alHc oongestlon" on that the greater cily |)romlsqil to im¬ prove its end ot the route. Uld it keep its promise'/ It never did and that means ot relieving congostion on the roads is still there today awaiting the energy ot Mr. McVVhiney and all those others "who art; now solicitous of the cramped motorist.
Those who defend Mr. McWiilnuey and his "dream" are right lil .saying that such a iHuilevard will be a fine thing, but would not the Ljtkevlow-tlca- maii Avenue highway al.so be a 'tine thing for community it serves'.' Are not the people along that route ehlilled lo the rfwds ihat have alrvudy been dca- ignuted state highway but which niu.st l>e sacrillccd for Mr. Mi;Whiiiucy'K |k-i- Honal glory'.' >'
Just when did it become so neccs-siiry to uprpoprlato funds tor the coustruc- tlon of city lilghways and wily did Mr. McWhinney pick out a year to give Uie grSHtur city a highway built by tlie mate moneys when lie knew tha.t all appropriations were to be cut aud all roud work pared to the bone?
New Vorkt.'lty ha.s plenty of money for its rotkds but it is thd small coinmunlty tliat needs the statu old roads und Nus- oau could have hud more If a big up- Itroprltti ion from thu statu did not go to tUo greater cUy^ >. 1| Uk^

lAHtHE TALK
Since (lovernor Miller coined the Iihra.se, "IxRise talking and loose think. Ing," It wp^uhl .seem as if pcoiMc in gen¬ eral; un<l particularly those who talk too much, had taken it to heart .some¬ what and. were weighing their wonis more Carefully. The advice the chief cxocutiva gave has its value aside from anything political or anytliing relate<l to public affalns. What the govemoi' voiced could be accepte«l by all of u.s as worth while if wo desire to have Mtandlns among those who think well before they talk any.
I'renuiture utterances are 'more or loss the le.sult of habil, which can be controlled to the profit of tho.se who arc careless in what they K.<y, but who, at the same time, do not mean to bo malicious or Intentionally inaccurate. It is .'<iniply a ques?loa of doing just what tlovernor Miller said, thinking without iH-oper con.slderatlou of the sub¬ ject, whatever it may be. I'roof of tlio value ot what he said ciiii be HUiniiied up in this way:
Who has failed .some time or another to hear it said that "sotnebody is all right, but he talks too much," or "So and .so i.s all right, but lie talks before he thinks."
This is frciiueiilly .said of tlios( who are otherwise agreeable pcj-.sons to meet.
There is danger in loose talking and more danger In loose thinking, and there is enough dunger in either when the best thoughts of everybody should be devotefl to the adjustment of I^l>- lems which mwnt be faced and which are being laced every minute. Thero Ik nothing to be gained hy anybody going 'off half-cocked, so to si>eak, and 'that is what loose thinking and loose talking means. In one sense it is next door to "didn't know It was loaded."
There Is no man of experience who has not. i)crhap.s, .said something that he later wished he had not said. This has been the experience ot most of us, and when we stop to con.sider it, what we .s;ild was the result of loose thinking. Had wc stopped to weigh what we said we would undoubtedly have kel>t still. We thought loosely and talked the Siime way, but we did it and iiad it to regret. Thou We i>robably called to mind .someone of our acquaintances of whom it is .said, "He talks very little, but whtii he do<'.b talk lie .says .some- thing."
When (.Jovcrnor Miller coined his phrase hoii?»ive .something to the public Worth having. It was within the com- pi-ehenslon of all clu.sscs and conditions of m«n 'and .something iu. wliicli they could all .see a value. Words have caused a heap of trouble, and there is no doiibt that we should ull do as little loo.se thinking and loose talking as pos¬ sible. If we would.'it would uot be very long befiU'o we were i-epuid with sub- Munlial Interest, and we would not oc- cawiwnally Imve to caiiy around this thought: ^__
"I would hav<; given anything if I hadn't said that." ....

DRAMA
By Robert BoctcOe
JONATHAN W.\KES LP
For a number of years, playiaakers have been writing pieces tor Mrs. FlAe; and no one can now brins the charge acainat ber that she haa nothing for yo}ing dnanatists. Nearly ijl of her work In the laat ten years has b««n de¬ voted to making much out of tbe peity qualities offered her by aspiring play¬ wrights. What success has attended har ventures has been rather tbe result ot bor compelling powers' as an ootress than th-^ insiiiratlon afforded her by tor vehicle.
! "Wake Up, Jonathan!" which ia serv¬ ing Mrs. Fiske at Henry Miller's Thea¬ tre now can not be said to bear the ejirniarks of a play written espoclally for anyone, least of all for its leading larf>', for It gives very little scope for the use ot the full powers of this un¬ usual woman. There are no o<;casions for Mrs. Fiske to smoke or to swear: and she lias always done both with so much distinction! In words, the part Is relatively a small one. No great surges Of emotion, no sweep of action clulai demand the strenuous conduct on the stage wldch has at times characterized her work. But tlie rolo demunds lislen- in.-:?—listening and recording: and Mrs. Fiske like 1-iura Hope Crews Is suiH'rlatlve as a listener. What liages of thought In the book of her conte- nanie are turned over for the ajicctator to read can be estimated only by a sec¬ ond or third viewing ot her work in "Wake I'p, Jonathan."
The story of a woman who finds l«a' husband's work and family are incom¬ patible is not unhackneyed; but the tell¬ ing ot this version by Hatcher Hughes and E. E. Rice (nee Reizenstein) is
jpeniie Htmg et varioua klads, ffOai private eara to flowers ar* iBeIa<«f in the 1919 returns, that it U uppar- Eome professional people are not cUmr on -what c^nstltulei alU>wable dedoctloiv.
"to th* caae of an actor or actraaa requtrad ta irarehase coatamea bar ing a usuable lite of more than one year, and operatic singers havias a repertoire of standard roles which mr* mag (ram time to time, or In any other case where eostumea are used •xctualvjely.in a buaiaees, the deduc¬ tion Ji^ limiWd to a depreciation al¬ lowance only and not the original coet. Furthermore, the word 'cos¬ tumes' as used means such aa are used excluaively in a business.
"In atiditlng returns, no deduc¬ tions are allowed for modern clothes or costumes which can be worn or used outside of the theatre or in tbe street. Deductions can be made for costumes of a period, depicting the RcTolutlonary days and Civil War period, where crinoline skirts, bonnets aod costumes of a particular time are worn. These coetunies can¬ not be used oft stage or outside of picture studios, but modern after¬ noon frocks and evening gowns can be worn outside of the studio or theatre and therefore no deduction is allowable.
"Expenses of motor cars used by profeesional persons in riding from home to theatre or picture studios are not allowable any more than a banker, broker or business man can make deductions for dally auto ex¬ penses in riding to and from private business. Many male and feminine stars, particularly In the moving pic¬ ture business report heavy expendi¬ tures for advance publicity, personal representatives to newspapers, press agents, posters and photographs, dis¬ play window cards and other forms of publicity. These Are allowable deductions, if reasonable and neces¬ sary, as they como under the head- ing of business expenses.
For Faint and Powder
'Professional people are also pcr- to deduct a reasonable sum
wholesomely fresh and delightfully in vigorating. Many of us have become j mitted
wcjiriod of the woman who finding her' for entertaining, actual expendiIurcB hUKb;i.nd not the lion she married hjm ; for paint and powder, wigs, stage an« for, pitches her llrst and onlv boroi«'u'»'o dresses, blank cartridges child out of the tenth story window, ^h^.-l^ guns are used in stage pro- , , , , .... . ,, riuctions, and commissions for plays,
and then departs with energy to live onk.^ deductions are permitted tor a higher plane. If she must go. wo pre-1 travel by private railroad car and fer to MOO her go like Kate of the Twelve-j expenses for physicians, spoclalifets, I'ound Ixick fame,—with a saving bit; gifts and tips, ahops. slippers, stock- ot humor to dignify her conduct. .Mrs. i ings. hairdressing. manicuring, chi-

Th* practice ahottld not be tollowad agala in making 1920 returns aa under the law such expenaas cannot be allowed this class of taxpayara any more than tbc-y can be allowed io nen and wo¬ men not engaged in amtuing the public. liiciuding them as business deductions will lead to future Incon- Yenioncft and annoyance for taxpay¬ ers of the theatrical profession, when the returns are rnachcd in duo course of audit."
