between a magnetic and a dynamo.
AS they are both used for ignition,
are they interchangeable?

They both make electric current,
but the magnetic has permanent
magnets and gives a hot spark in

that puzzles many taxpayers, the
collectors state. Numerous automobile

The ruling covering the point states
that if an automobile. such as motor
truck, is used exclusively for business
purposes, the cost of gasoline. repairs
and operations may be considered a
necessary expense. If an automobile
is used one-half the time or one-third
the time for business purposes. the
same fractional part of the main
tenance cost and upkeep is taken as a
necessary expense. But no deduction
is made if the car is used solely for
the pleasure or the convenience of the
taxpayer Or his family.
An important ruling by the bureau
is in reference to deductions allowed
through the employment of labor, es-
pecially on farms. Where a man is

negative unless the minor has been
emancpated by the parents.
