INCOME TAX FACTS
YOU SHOULD KNOW

Numerous errors in claims for de-
ductions have been discovered in tax
payers returns.
To be allowed, deductions for loss
es must be confined to-tAe following
classes: Losses sustained in trade or
business; losses sustained in transac-
tions entered into for profit, though
not connected with a trade or busi-
ness; losses sustained of property not
connected with trade or business if
arising from fires, shipwreck, storms
or other casualty, or from theft. To
the extent any of the above losses
are compensated for by insurance
they are not deductible. y ::
To be allowed as deduction in
the return for 1910 a loss must have
been actually. sustained during that
year. A taxpayer may feel certain
that real estate owned by him is
worth less than what he paid for it..
A merchant may be, convinced that
certain stock can not be sold unless
marked below cost. In neither event,
however, is he entitled to a claim for
deduction until the loss is made abb
solute by sale or other disposition of
the property.
Claims for losses must conform
closely to the wording of the statute.
A loss sustained in the sale of an au-
tomobile purchased for personal use
is not deductible, because it is not a
transaction "entered into for profit. I"
A loss sustained by taxpayer in the
sale of his home is not deductible for
the reason that ordinarily when a
man buys a residence and moves into
it he has no intention of selling and
has not entered into a transaction
for profit"

WILSON'S RUSSIAN
POLICY WILL SOON
BE INDICATED

Washington, Feb. 1S.-The Will
son administrations policy with re-
gard to Russia will be vindicated
when a responsible government is
established in that country, and will
result in Americans obtaining vast
amount of Russian trade, under
Secretary Davis of the State De-
partment, predicted today before
the House foreign affairs commit
tee. Mr.. Davis told the committee
that two-thirds of Russia did NJ;
recognize the Bolsheviki and that
only 100000 Russians were profess
ed communists.
Russia and Siberia, Mr.. Davis
said, are tremendous potential mar
kets for the United States, which
will be available if this country does
not pursue .shortsighted policy
that would bolster up the soviet
government.
"The Russian people are grateful
to the United States, and their
friendly attitude will be tremen-
dous advantage to US when trade
possibilities develop" said the I'm.
der-Secretary.
Discussing Great Britain's Rus
sian policy, Mr.. Davis said the idea
that that country by entering into a
trade agreement with the Lenine
government would gobble up Russian
markets, was "all bunk" England,
he added, is attempting to stop the
spread of Bolshevism rather than >in-
crease its trade opportunities. :,

LLOYD GEORGE
DETERMINED ON
GERMAN PAYMENT

London. Feb. 1S.-Mr. Lloyd
George, the prime minister declared
in the House of Commons today
that he stood by his pledge that Ger
many must pay to the limit OF her
capacity.
The prime minister was discuss
;ne the German reparations question
in answering Horatio Bottomiey's
arraignment of the governments S
policy of alleged inaptitude with re-
gard to forcing Germany to comply
with the reparations demands, the
provision for the trial of war crunl-
nails and other portions of the peace
treaty.
There was a great difference con-
tinued the premier, between Ger
many paying for the whole cost OF
the war and paying to the limit OF
her capacity.
"The whole point is as to the
limits of Germany's capacity to pay
he said.
The allies, continued the premier
had taken the best advice available
and had summoned the ablest men
to be found, upon whose advice the
present demands has been made,
and the allies were carrying out the
peace terms to the utmost of their
power.
Germany, he pointed out had de-
livered bonds to the allies but the
value of these bonds depended upon
the value of the German security at
the present moment. Raw material
ships, property of other sorts and
coal, also had been delivered added
the permier, and the question was
what was their value.
Divergent contentious
The Germans argued, continued
Mr.. Lloyd George, that if the allies
took the value of the raw material
at the ii me it was delivered the
sum amounted to more than the TO-
ooo,OoO,5OO marks named in the
peace treaty. The allies contended
that the sum was. less than this, and
the matter was one that the repara-
tons commission was examining.
Even according to the allied account
ing, he said, it was matter Of hum
dreds of millions of pounds sterling
which had been delivered, and the
question was purely one Of the time
at which one was to assess the value
of the raw material that had been
handed over.
Mr.. Lloyd George laid stress upon
the difficulty of. exacting an indem-
nifty in another country and secur-
ing it's payment here.
"You can easily collect in Ger
many any indemnity you impose,
within reasonable limits, added the.
premier, but how are you going to
transfer it here? There is much
loose thinking on this subject.
"I take the view that we have got
to do the best for the country out
of what is essentially bad job, as
every war issue. The war cost some
thing beyond what any country can
pay, and does any one imagine that
any country in the world can pay
the whole cost?
"Indemnities can >be paid in goods
or service, and that is why we intro
duced an export tax on Germany's
outgoing goods. That means that
everything she sends out in goods
is gold, for she gets something for
which there is gold equivalent"

 While he was leading his company against the enemy his line came under heavy machine gun fire which threatened to hold up the advance. Followed by two soldiers at twenty-five yards. this officer went out ahead of his first line toward machine gun nest and worked his way around it's flank, leaving two soldiers in front.

 Failure of an autopsy to show evidence of water in the lungs led authorities to believ that tn woman may have been murdered and the body thrown into the water.

An Improvement in
 Business Conditions
Shown in Monthly Review of the Federal Reserve Board Increase ia the Number of Men Employed.

Washington, Oct 31.-Stimulated &C., tivity in important industries, resulting from rapid marketing of agricultural products during October made noticeable the beginning of improvement throughout the country. the federal reserve board declared tonight in it's monthly review
 Higher prices, realized by farmers for tobacco and cotton and heavy sales of cereals abroad, the review said, have brought them into the market for pur- chases of seasonable goods
 The outlook in the textile industries was said to be better for while uncer- tainty of the future of cotton prices has led some textile manufacturers to hold oil. buying has been Rore pronounced during the past few weeks.N>
 Except in a limited degree, the review declared basic manufacturing and struc- tural industries have not shown the in- f1uence of reviving demand, although in creases both in production and in unified orders in iron and steel was regarded as of first rate importance as marking the turn from the low point"
 Prices have apparently attained a sub- stantial degree of stability. the review stated, adding that prices in general were in better relation to one another than at any time during the past eighteen months.
 A fairly general increase in the num- Der of Lten employed was noted, although unemployment was reported as continu- ing as serious element. With the ex- ception ol the railroad situation. the re- view declared that relatively little labor unrest exists at this time"
 The large amount of unemployment prevailing. according to the board, has had it's effect upon the retail trade, pur. chases for the most part being confined to essentials.
