CALCULATION OF TAXES MADE EASY
 FOR MERCHANTS
Bureau Suggests a Form for Retail Merchants in Order to Help Compile
 Their Returns.

WASHINGTON, March 15-Instruc. tion for retail merchants on the fiji ing of tax returns and the calcula tion of taxes due, issued today by the Internal Revenue Bureau, emphasizes the importance of accurate bank ac counts, particularly for small busi nesses, as the first requisite in mak ing reports. Periodical inventories also were advocated strongly.
 The Bureau suggested this formu la for determining the net income Of retail merchant:
 Add the cost of the merchandise bought for sale during the year, to the inventories taken at the begin ming of the year. From this sulo deduct the inventories taken at the end of the year. The balance is the cost of the goods sold This cost, plus business, or overhead" expens es, when deducted from the gross re ceipts, gives the correct net income of the business. The inventory, "the Revenue Bureau statement added, lis fully as important as the cash ac- count in determining the gain or loss in retail business.
 In making their inventories at the end of the taxable year, retailers may list the values by either of two methods: CD the cost of the goods, or CD the cost or market price, whichever is lower. The freight, express, carriage, storage costs may be added to the cost of each lot of goods.
 Besides the net cost of goods sold, the retailer is allowed to deduct from his gross sales for the year the necessary expenses incidental to the business. No personal, family or liv. ing expenses of any kind may be in cluded in such deductions. The or dinary retailer might have as ex pense clerk hire, rent of business property, interest on his business in debtedness, and taxes on his business and business property Also, there may be ordinary repairs, bad debts charged off the books during the year; other expenses, such as in surance, light, heat, telephone, feed for delivery horses, repairs and up keep of delivery wagons, supplies and upkeep for motor trucks, etc.
 Under the item wear and tear a retailer may claim reasonable deprec- iation on property used in the busi- ness On fixtures the allowance is usually five per cent. or 10 per cent of the cost price; on horses and wa gons, 10 per cent; on motor trucks, 20 per cent.
 The individual retailer may take a slary for his services, but if he does so, he must consider such sal ary as part of his income

FISH COURSE IS
 PLANNED BY THE
 U. OF w. UNIVERSITY

Courses have been outlined for the College of Fisheries established last week at the University of Wash ington, said to be the only one Of it's kind in the world outside of Ja pan, the Imperial Fisheries Institute at Tokio having held a unique place in the past.
 John N. Cobb appointed director of the Washington College of fish cries, is enthusiastic over the facili- ties for practical instruction here, pointing out that Seattle is the only American city where virtually every type of plant used in converting the raw product of fisheries into manufactured articles, both for food and for the arts and sciences, can be found in active operation. MT. Cobb has been connected with the fisheries industry for 24 years, and formerly was a field agent for the United States Bureau of Fisheries.
 A four-year course is planned for the Washington fisheries college, di- vided into three parts, as follows:
 Fishing, Pathological and Fish Cultural short course is planned Practical work in industrial plants is planned for advanced classes.-- Seattle Times, March 2)

The reason for the unusual good service from our Ingersol watches and alarm clocks is our careful sys- tem of inspection when we get them.
 We run the watch one day each in three positions: Dial up, dial down, and hanging up; and if 1t doesn't average good is it returned and a new one demanded. This is the reason why we seldom get complaint from a purchaser of one of these watches.
