Charm-For the Lady Who Knits
New York, January

The New Year holds the promise Of
so many things. Possibilities Turk be
hind everyday things that seem Of
themselves SO unintcrcsting. Take for
example the simple matter OF under
clothes. The average woman buys,
this month, material enough to last
her for Me coming year. All the stores
have "Wuitc Sales, - and hatIStc ami
naiusook can be purchased for almost
nothing. This year we have, aside
from our regular resolutions, those We
have made t. help win the war, We
are going TO 10 our Bit, and the time
20 start IS now.
Does the simplicity we have heard
preached on the subject of frocks and
coqts extend to the lingerie! BY all
means, yes. We must buy only what we
really need, and use that little with
forethought.

IS NEEDING HELP

The school of instruction. pertain
ing to matters on the income tax law,
will be started Monday evening at the
local revenue Office at the postoffice
building under direction of c. r. Man
ming, local income tax inspector.
In this connection the government
has issued an appeal for help. The
task of taking returns under the in
come tax law has become too great for
the local inspectors to handle. The
many phases of the law require much
explanation. Heads of factories, bust
ness houses and banks have been re-
quested to delegate one employe to
act as deputy inspector and to have
these employees attend this school
which opens Monday night and will
continue every night thereafter for an
indefinite period. The hours for the
school are from 1870 to $50 each eve
ming.
Appended is list of questions and
answers that will explain some parts
of the income tax law:
Question-If on account of friend
ship or relationship l advanced GER
tain sum to assist a needy friend or
relative and at such time as the ad
vance was made had little or no rea-
son to expect that the amount would
ever be returned, may now claim de-
i duction to cover such advance?
| Answer-No. Such an advance, par
taking as it does, somewhat the nature
of philanthropic donation or good
will Offering, is held to constitute a
| bona fide debt.
Question-In rendering my 1914 re-
turn | claimed a deduction to cover a
! debt which then believed to be abso-
| lutefy worthless. In 1917 the debtor
discharged part o. his obligations
Should l treat this payment for in
come tax purposes?
! Answer-Yes Consider it as an item
| of income and include this amount
under the gross income in your 1917
return.
Question: professional man earn.
ed a fee in 1916. AS he keeps no books
he reports his income for tax pur.
poses on an actual receipt basis. As
this fee has never been reported as in
come can it be claimed as deduction
if collection cannot be made?
| Answer-No. Never having been re
turned as income it cannot be claimed
as deduction.
