NEW FORM OF SIGNAL
WARNINGS At CROSSINGS

PHILADELPHIA, Jan. 14-Grade
crossings on the Pennsylvania rail-
road, in the states of Pennsylvania
and New York, are soon to be safe
guarded with protective warning
signs giving advance notice of ap-
proach to the crossings. The work
of installation will start at once and
will be extended to other states.
where preliminary warnings are not
now in use, as soon as the necessary
approval can be obtained from the
state regulative authorities. The
Board of Public Utility Commission
ers of New Jersey has taken up the
application and approval for hat
commonwealth Is now pending. APP
prevail will also be requested In Del
aware, Maryland. Virginia and else
where.
: The new form Of signal is devised
especially to deal with thu problem
Of inducing motorists to run at rea-
scnable speed. and with their cars
under full control, when nearing
railroad crossings. This, it is expect
ed. will be accomplished by the new
approach" signs, giving warning Of
crossings ahead in ample time to re-
duce to a safe speed.
The design which will be used is a
standard adopted for such purpose
by the American Railway Associa-
ton and consists of a metal disk "a
inches in diameter, having a black
rim and divided into four quarters
by a black cross on a white ground.
The two upper quarters Dear the
letters "R. r." The sign will be
mounted on a post Of suitable height.

The report Of ]. Noble Pierson &
Son and various other architects lend
! proof to the fact that building con-
ditions have already taken a turn for
the better and that very Soon a great
number of new buildings will be I'M
der construction. Not that building
materials have become any lower in
price, but many are commencing to
realize that there is no possibility of
more reasonable prices and because
of the scarcity of property and the
exorbitant rents are awakening to
the practieability of the build now"
slogan. The withdrawal of the gov
ernment from any building projects
while there is such great need for
more business, commercial, industrial
and institutional space. has made at
least a little more material available.
J.. Noble Pierson & Son report that
their concern alone is now making
plans for or the buildings are now
under construction to the moun of
S1,0S0, 600, S250.000 of which repre-
sents the Industrial and residential
portion.
The new p%arochial school on
Laurie street now has its steel beams
for h roof laid and the school Is to
be completed by the end of May.
Robert Schuman Is the builder and
Walter Meagher was the architect.
With the present labor shortage,
causing the enormous under-produc-
ton of material, 1t appears thai
there can be no SOUND hope of quick
ly relieving the shortage of building
space, that rents will continue to be
high for a long term of years and
that real estate will continue to OPP
crate In a tense market Of under
.supnly and o~ver-demand.
The Maple Realty Company is
coming to the rescue and has already
in Avenel to be erected in the spring.
The company has five houses under
construction az the present time, all
of which have already beer sold.
The Maple Realty Company has
had plans made by j. Noble Pier7on
& o for the erection of a new |
building on tho corner Of Smith
store now known as the Sunshine
Fruit Company is located. The work
will commence as soon as the wealth |
err Is favorable Inc the new building !
will contain three stores and a second
story which will probably be con- ,
into offices.

Income Tax Facts
You Should KnoW


NO. y.
Numerous inquiries are received by
collectors of Internal revenue con
| corning depreciation and the allow
ances therefor in the filing of an in
come-tax return. AS the rate at
which depreciation may be claimed is
dependent upon local conditions, the
use to which the property is put and
its probable lifetime under normal
business conditions no specific rate
IS established by the law or regula-
tons. The word depreciation Is not
used in the law. which provides q
reasonable allowance for exhausting,
wear and G Of property used in
trade or business, including a reason
able allowance for obsolescence.
To compute the amount of depre-
citation which may be claimed, a taA.
payer should determine the probable
lifetime of the property. then divide
the number of years 1t will be usa-
BILE in the business in which employed.
The result thus obtained will repre-
sent the amount which may be
claimed as a deduction. For exam
pie. a frame building. the probable
lifetime of which without repair or
replacement is rs years, cost $4,000.
Divide $4,000 by rs and c.aim 5000
each year as an exemption.
Average Depreciation.
While zach taxpayer must de-
termine the probable lifetime Of his
property, without regard to the fol-
lowing figures. it has been estimated
that the average disable lifetime Of a
frame building is % years: a brick
building. 35 years; a stone, steel, or
concrete building. so to 100 years. The
estimated life of ordinary machinery
is 10 years, hat of automobiles useo
for business or farm purposes and
farm tractors 4 to s wears.
If n taxpayer claims the full
amount of depreciation he can not
claim as a deduction the cost of re-
pairs to the property during the same,
year. If he wishes to claim a deduc-
ton on account of repairs, their cost
must be deducted from the full
amount Of depreciation, and the bal
ance may be claimed under the head
ing Of Depreciation" Repairs" in
this connection means repairs and re-
placements OF a kin tending to make
good the depreciation, such as a new
flooring or new roof.i Small items
as requirements or broken win
dows. papering and minor repairs are
allowable, even though the full
amount of depreciation is Gained.
Principles to BE Observed.
In calming depreciation the fol-
lowing fundamental principles must
be observed:
Only such depreciation as results
from exhaustion, wear. and tear Of
property arising out of its use in BUSH
ness or trade is allowed. Deprecia-
ton in the value OF A home. or prop
erty such as automobiles used for
pleasure or convenience can not be
claimed.
Depreciation due to changes in the
social or business conditions Of a
neighborhood. or changes Of street
grade, or fluctuations in market val
ues can not be claimed.
Depreciation in the value of land,
whether improved or unimproved
due to erosion. exhaustion. or any
other cause can not be claimed.
When, in the course of years. the
owner of property has Gained its FUN
cost as depreciation, no further claim
viii be allowed.
The value to he cared for by depre-
citation is the actual amount invested
In the property.

Gull the Early Melting Hen.

All hens lay eggs in the early
spring and summer but from now on
there is big drop in egg produc-
ton. In order to save feed bills, and
to give the poultry flock better
chance, it pays us to Gull out the poor
layers and only keep those chickens
that will pay us profit.
The hen that lays only a few eggs
in the spring and early summer is u.s.
uaily very early moiter. That is
she sheds her feathers anywhere from
July to the middle of September.
This is caused by the fact she is a
poor layer; she lays her clutch Of
eggs and starts molting her feathers.
The hen that is good layer will start
laying in the early spring and con-
tinue to produce eggs during the hot
summer months. She is so busy man
ufacturing eggs that she does not

TO mainly is that certain persons are

when exorbitant.

expect it, but there is no reason for
charging $8 to $40 for such service.
