The Tax on Gamblers.

To the Editor of The Evcnin. Star:
In your comments on the proposition to
tax the winnings of gambling or horse
racing under the income tax you say it
would be negotiable to tax the winnings;
without deductinS the losses. and yet,
that is precisely what the law does as to
real estate. 1t provides expressly. when
specifying what may be deducted, but
excluding all estimated depreciation of val
ues and losses within the year on sales of
real estate purchased within two years
previous TO the year for which the income
Is estimated"
If that is good law and just to the owner
Of real estate it certainly Is for the gam
bier. w. c. d.

cured an American patent which played
an important part in the early history
of tie bicvcle in the United States.
Un1cr this patent, which was sold to an
american Spectator, the velocipedes,
or hoi1e shakers, of almost thirty years
ago were made here, and later on the
pioneer bicycle firms of the United
States got hold OF it, and by means Of
it for some time eXtorted twenty dol
lars Cor every machine made 10y rival
houees. Lallament ultimately secured
a lawsuit for $4,000, which was about
all that he ever got. A few years ago
he was still working by the day at a
bench in bicycle factory.
Michaux had gone on improving his
n.achiue, and it had become known to
TIE world through the Paris exposi-
ton of 1867. In 1868 Louis Rivere,
Enother Erenchman, suggested q
larger wheel in front than behind,
and the bicycle was thus developed
from, the velocipede or ''bone shaker"
Some Englishman, whose identity is
disputed. devised the rubber tire, per-
haos the most important step in the
while evolution. Then came the sus-
pension wheel, the principle of which
is thar the rim supports the hub. in
stead of the hub the rim, as with car
riage wheels. Gradually we evolved
the ball bearings, first applied only to
the front wheel, and numerous other
improvements. The kangaroo" a
dwarf front driving machine in which
chain was used, excited great de-
risIon, but when the Roger patent APP
peared with the chain applied to the
front wheel the doom of the high
bicycle was spofep, and the rear driv-
ing safety upon the lines of ''Dalzelrs
wooden horse" came INTO vogue. In
1877 Herbert S. Owen, of Washington,
iu7ented the drop frame or womans
wheel. The pneumatic tire. which
came in about 1890, was an old idea
which had been patented in 1915
