SUMS
 FOR NOBILITY

Vienna, Feb 7-The latest of the disclosures" so popular nowadays, show that Austrian archduchesses, in- c1udiny the former Empress Zita be- fore she was married, drew from the government large retainers for month ly support and quarterly rent money. The Austrian State Bureau for Army Affairs makes the revelations in an official statement
 It shows that Empress Zita while still an archduchess drew as month ly support and for rent the equivalent of s3,100 at the peace time rate of exchange. Her address was put down as either the Hofburg or Schoen- brunn, both imperial palaces, which were placed, free, at the disposal of the archducheases. She had, however. in case of ennui, the choice of living -n the palaces at Reichenau. Laxen- burg, Gotzendorf, or the Belvedere in Vienna.
 Archduchess Auguste, wife of Archduke Joseph, received the equi- valent of $14.7S8; Archduchess Isabel la, wife of Archduke Friedrich, $6,- 167; Archduchess BIanka, wife of Archduke Leopold Salvador, s747; Archduchess Maria Christine, wife of Archduke Peter Ferdinand, $4,53g; and Archduchess Marie Anna, wife ot Prince Elias of Parma, s3,416. and ad- 1 ditiOnal support for six children in l191a.
 Other disclosures reveal that clothes linen, food and other things were drawn from military depots in huge al. Ints by the arehducal families The case of the Archduchess Isabella is particularly interesting since she had three estates, the Albrecht Palace : in Vienna, another castle in Baden and great seat in Teschan, and hel husband is considered one of the mos, wealthy men in Europe.

Warning has been sent out by the United States Treasury Department against the sale of War Savings Stamps of the 1918 issue to unauthoe- ized parties. While recommending all who can do so to retain their stamps until maturity, and receive the inter est thereon, it is plainly stated that if a sale must be made the stamps should be taken to local post office, where the price paid will be refund- cd, No one should dispose of a 1918 War Savings Stamp for less than sL2s To do otherwise Is not only to be cheated, but is encouraging illegal buying for private gain.

those that subscribed, less pro rata share of expenses which made net amount refunded $34S. What must be reported and what is the approximate amount of tax to be paid, both normal and surtax?
 ANSWER regret that I cannot properly compute your income tax, because of the fact that further in- formation is needed as stated below. If you will write me again, giving me the desired information, I shall be pleased to make further answer. Meanwhile, permit me to state for your information that a single man with a taxable Income of $25,O 900 will have to pay a tax as follows: Specific exemption, $1,000.
 | 6 per cent. on s4,000. S24O l 12 per cent. on $20000, 2,400 Surtaxes at gradual rates, l,200 Total, sS,S40 | On the statement submitted to me wish to point out the following:
 Bond interest is not in all cases tax.- able For instance, interest collected on the first Liberty Loan bonds is not taxable at all. Interest on the sue ceedlng Liberty Loan bonds is exempt in part, under certain conditions. Other interest from Liberty Loan bonds may be exempt from normal tax only. And lastly, interest on tax exempt bonds, other than Liberty Loan bonds may, and may not, be taxable in part, according to tne na- ture of the bond, or the covenant en- tered into by the obHgee It will, therefore, be necessary to determine in detail the nature of your invest mentA
 Interest on your bank balance IS e proper item of income, but what you call discount check on btll' discount Is not income. 1t may reduce your personal expenSe---as assuming that the fbiH was for some item of your own oase---but as the expense is not de- ductible in your case, the discount does not constitute income.
 The money received from the in surance company in payment of dam age through the collision of your au- replacement of a damage to your property. Neither is the amount real ized from the sale of auto tires or lCtuSE pEOpSGlSB WHICH cOlSILuIeS reaHzation of your assets at less than cost- The refund on an over-pay- lment on a magazine subscription as well as the refund of dues paid into
 @ club which never was formed be- lcause of insufficient subscriptions, Is not income either.
 In order not to confuse other read CTS. permit me to state here that the foregoing answers are given to you because 1t appears, from the tone of your letter, that you are an Individual not engaged in any particular bust ness enterprise of which the items you mentioned are a part Readers must realize that Income from the
 sale of auto tires, if conducted as a
 busipess, as a profit constitutes tax alble income.

T. J. 1.-The first lot of stock pur- chased October IS, 1904, of 50 shares of Chicago & Great Western R. R. O., Common. at 24 1~S per share and the escond lot bought December 1st, 1905 of 100 shares of the same at p 1-4 amount to $s.431.25,
 Uppn reorganization you received, in Septs1nSer, 1914, 60 shares of common and 2s shares of preferred stock The GO shares of common stock were sold by you March 22nd, 1917, at F 1-2. Deduct1ng the amount you received on the sale of the 80 shares of com mon stock from the total cost to you of the entire amount of stock orig 1nally held by you leaves $2,Tl1.25. You retain the 28 shares of preferred stock above stated.
 Unless you dispose of the preferred stock at 6 figure less than B, 711.25, you have sustained no loss which might be deducted for income tax purposes nor have you realized any gain unless you ReH these shares at a higher price than s2,711.25.
 For the purpose of making you in- come tax staiSement tE's year you cannot, therefore, either deduct a loss or account for a. gain. However, if you sell this stock during 1919 at a considerable loss, you may make an application for a re-statement of your income tax return for 1918 on the ground that your valuation as at De- cember sIst, 1918, was too high, and you wall receive a corresponding re- fund of your tax, provided, of course, that the present proposed revenue act goes into effect as outlined.
 RHlADER, tax roturns must be made by the recipient of an in- come from 6 trust fund under e will, although the trust is held by @ trust company. Whether or not the income is received periodically or annually does not alter the situation, as all in come to Che recipient must be stated. The tax is payable by the Beneficiary and not by the fiduciary.
 If. however, a part of %he income so received is in the form of corporate divide Is, or income from other se- curade5 which is generally allowed to Dc deducted in computing the normal tax, the same credits will be propor- tionately allowed in your particular case, and the provisions of the pro- posed Revenue Act as to surtax will apply to them
