ed in the new auction count, which is
described in the Kansas City Star:
The nullo" count is the latest
wrinkle at auction. 1t was intro
duced in the east several months ago
and is being extensively experimental
all over the country. "Nullos'' were
added to the regular count in order
to make it possible for players hav-
ing a run of bad luck to get into
the game The player bidding one
nullo contracts to take not more
means not more than five tricks, and
so on. Penalties are assessed
! for running over the contract
just as they are assessed for failure
to make the contract in the ordinary
bids. If player bid two nullos and
score fifty Nullos are worth eight
trick the same hearts, but
hearts are given precedence in the
bidding. One nullo beats one dia-
Dul IS beaten IN turn one
heart. Aces in nullos are the hon
ors, and are worth ten apiece but
they count for the side that doesn't
hold them. A player bidding success
fully on nullOS would score thirty in
honorS if the opponents held three
aces. The most patient auction play
er is bored if he sits a whole evening
through without holding high enough
cards to bid on. With the nullo count

The new regulations concerning the In

among banks and trust companies who
are endeavOrng to eliminate any difficulty
i'm cashing coupons due November /. They
are trying to impress on their clients the
necessity of attaching to the coupons a
certificate Of ownership TO prevent any de
lay in payment OF the interest.
one large private banking house has
taken on ten extra men in the coupon col
lection department where normally only
three are required. This firm will handle
between 10000 and $4,000 coupons,
amounting to many millions of dollars.
The Bankers Trust Company expects to
handle 100000 coupons. aggregating be-
tween $4,000, 900 and S7,00000O.
Some of the banks have decided TO pay
the income tax on the coupons presented
to them where no certificate of ownership
is attached and will withhold the tax
until the owner proves that he is not
taxable. The bankers In this instance will
make out "A temporary certificate pending
the receipt of permanent one. Other
banks state that they will not cash their
clients coupons until the permanent GER
tificate Of ownership Is attached.

that the income tax on the company's
bonds presented for payment on Novem-

ers of such obligations are exempt from
taxation the companies will claim the
