THESE STRAY BULLETS

The other day a woman sitting in
an automobile on a street in this city
was struck in the head Ey bullet.
She was sitting peacefully in a center
of civilization, and along comes bull
let and hits her in the head!
So dull are our imaginations that
most of us will be satisfied when we
learn that the force of the bullet was
so much spent that the woman suf-
fered no serious injury But we ought
not to stop at that point. We ought
to realize that the carelessness with
which Americans handle guns consti-
tutes a serious menace to the safety
of us all.
Boys hardly big enough to learn to
handle a baseball bat are entrusted
with deadly weapon by their parents
and are allowed to run about shoot
ing right and left. Every year this
criminally careless practice nets its
toll of dead and injured.
AACOl a WOIlu Wdl, Ill WHlCu lll11l-
ions of men have used deadly weap-
ons against one another, it is not sur
prising that toys want to shoot. But
it is surprising that parents permit
children to have guns, and to shoot,
both deliberately and carelessly-San
Jose California; News.
1t would probably save the lives of
lots of birds and few people, and
do boys lots of good, if their parents,
instead of buying guns for them,
would buy tools and start the boys
making bird houses.
Then instead of going around look
ing for birds to kill, the boys would
covet live birds in the new bird
houses, and feel a pride in possessing
live BIRDS birds free to fly about and
to return to the small houses, by
choice.
The whole neighborhood might
catch the new idea, and all the chill
dren grow interested in living things,
and in a new appreciation of all life.
Be kind to animals-you're one
yourself

the children are up and out on the
terraces at 6. Breakfast at Z, school
at 8. The older girls all have their
duties, looking after the younger chill
dren and keeping the rooms clean and
bright with flowers. And this busy,
active, regular life with plenty of
wholesome food and plenty. of play is
bringing a little joy Lack into the
lives of these sad-faced children.
They are beginning to smile again.
Some of the tragic memories are fad

eyes, their ears no longer hear so
plainly the means of their dying moth

sisters and brothers who have died of

new interests, new scenes. Sorrows

which they are now trying so hard
to do, with the assistance of their
very competent directress and teach

DER ell Kamar, the monastery of the
moon, remains a vivid spot in the Wis
itor's memory. High on the Lebanon
hills, with it's glistening white walls,
graceful terraces, wide balconies and
cool, shady courts, it looks real
home. And entering the pleasant
rooms, one realizes instantly that it
is. The American directess and her
Syrian assistants have made a most
attractive modern school home out
of this old French monastry-a happy
place in which to live and work. A
place of comfortable beds, at least SO

first night she was tucked in: "Why,

STORY OF COURT
BY r. v. johnson

Jacobs had said "R. ", things are
not breaking just right. l haven't

been rather dull around the office
and l was sitting there pondering
over the ways of, Burkley and otf -
waywardA oil stocks, when in steps
Friend Thurman, deputy and future
sheriff He didn't say anything, and
looked rather sheepish as he fumbled
around in his pocket for something
l didn't say anything, either, but
knew that he knew that | knew that
hadn't knowingly done anything
that would merit a Hall Diploma, un-
less it was for vagrancy, and l fig
ured that I couldn't hardly be blamed
for that as l had been working every
one on both sides of the street every
day trying to sell some insurance or
oil stock
Well, Thurman kept fumbling
around the papers in his pocket, and
kept fidgeting around on my chair
and finally he got the paper out,
and handed it to me, and this is what
l read:
State of Arizona,
County of Pinal-ss.
To R. V. Johnson, you are hereby
summoned to appear in the Superior
Court of the State of Arizona, in and

Every night at 8 o'clock you hear
the bread -kneaders' steady pat-pat as
they spread out the flat loaves and

thousand loaves are ready to be taken

tanned by the Near East Relief which
is attempting to save the lives OF
100000 orphans in western Asia is
one Of the big jobs of the place. Six
of the older girls are selected each
week to help the women do this work.
Each night at they gather around
the huge kneading board in the open
court of this old monastry, which is
now the home of several hundred
Syrian orphans. It is jolly little
party that laughs and jokes in the

BAD DEBTS and
income TAX ARE
FULLY EXPLAINED

Before making any deduction for
bad debts on an income tax return,
the taxpayer should make sure that
he is entitled to do, and that the bad
deEesl are of such nature that they
are clearly deductible items.
Just because the personal income
tax form provides spaces in which to
claim an allowance against income
for uncollectible debts does not mean
that the taxpayer may search his
memory for a flock of personal loans
and put them down on his return.
The space in block A for bad debts
is for use only by business and pro-
fessional men who are entitled to ad-
just their income. And such adjust
ment can be made only in cases where
certain accounts have been included
in the gross income and have since,
during the taxable year, been found
to he uncollectible.
In other words, only those who re
port their gross income on the ac-
crual basis, that is, include their en-
tire sales or charges, are entitled to
an adjustment to cover sales or
charges that have been definitely de-
termined to be worthless. A return
on the basis of cash receipts and dis
bursements must not show deduc-
ton for worthless debts; for the tax
payer has shown as income only the
accounts which have proven to be
good
Arbitrarily writing down" debts or
bills receivable is not tolerated by in
come tax. Such anticipated losses,
which the reserve for bad debts con-
stitutes, are wholly contrary to the
spirit of the law The individual debt
itself, together with the circumstances
in respect to it's becoming worthless,
will alone be taken into consideration
when determining whether it is de-
ductible.
One other fact with respect to un-
collectible accounts is emphasized by
the internal revenue officials. That
is, that any bad debt charged off and
later recovered is taxable income for
the year when recovery is made.
Some Other Bad Debts
Bad debts may arise, not only in a
business or profession hut also
through bonds, notes, loans, mort
cages and other items of indebted
ness, wherein the assets of the tax
payer sustain an actual determined
loss In these latter items any actual
losses sustained by an individual may
be claimed as a deduction as item s,
block 1, of his return.
Holders of bonds which have be-
come worthless because of dissolu-
tion and utter bankruptcy of the is
suing corporation revealing no assets
for distribution to the bOndholders
are entitled to deduct the loss sus-
tanned. The amount of such loss will
be determined ty the actual cost; or.
if purchased prior to March 1, 1918,
the fair market value on that date.
AS to notes, loans, ETC., which tax
payer deems uncollectible, the facts
in each case will determine whether
they are proper deductions. They
must be ascertained to be worthless
and must be charged off as an asset
within the year. If a debt is for
given it cannot be deducted, for it

INCOME TAX FACTS { ~

uals and corporations, must be in

Extensions will be granted Rnly in
specific cases where urgent need for
additional time in preparing the re-
turns is shown.
Where additional time is actually,
required, because of illness or alb
sence, the collector of internal rev.
enue may grant an extension of not
TO exceed 80 days upon written appli-
cation therefor made before the re-
turn ls due. Last years plan of
granting extension of As days when
tentative returns were filed has been
Abandoned as conditions which justi-
fled such extension do not exist this
year.
1t is urgently requested that re-
turns be filed now to avoid any pen
alries.
Payment OF ak
The tax may be paid in full at the
time of filing the return or in four
installments, the first of which must
accompany the filing of the return.
The subsequent installments are due
on or before June Is, on or before

cember Is.
If the return is not filed within

an additional assessment of rs per
cent of the amount of tax due.
The return should be sent to the
collector of internal revenue for the
district in which the taxpayer has
his residence or principal place of
business.

return is unable to do SO because of
illness, minority, absence or non
knowledge of such persons affairs
to enable him to make a complete
and true return.
Payment may be made in cash,
bank check or draft. Collectors will
receive uncertified checks and the
tax will be considered paid as of
the date the check was received,
provided it is not later dishonored.
If check is not paid upon presenta-
ton, liability for the tax and all pen
alties are revived.
