Treasury Department ruling allowing
reductions for losses of intangible as
sets, including good WILL" the Senate

huysen (republican), New Jersey, and
Smoot (republican), Utah.
The Utah senator estimated the loss
at $1,000, 100000 annually, but Senator
Frelinghuysen said the total would
run from two billions to four billions
and that the principal losses were be-
ing charged off by liquor Dealers
brewers, wholesalers and others--in
their income tax returns, with deduc-
tions for damage to their occupations
by the prohibition laws.
Senator Smoot told the Senate that
the Secretary of the Treasury had
failed to reply to Senate resolution
requiring submission of internal rev.

that unless early response was made
he would have the Senate finance COM

ing Treasury officials for examination.

When Daddy heard the news Of a
stranger among them, he FASTENED
down to greet him. At the first glance
the newcomer seemed so tiny and
odd-looking that Daddy was rather
disappointed. Strangest Of all, he had
four leaves instead Of three. But
when he saw what smile Four
leaf had, he liked him very much and
gave him a cordial welcome.
Not so with the clover children.
They whispered and laughed among
themselves at the queer dress. OF
course this made Four-leaf very I'M
comfortable, and he pretended not to
hear. Pretty soon, however, when
they saw how glad he was to help
them look their best and never tried
to be admired himself, they became
more friendly. Four-leaf was just
bubbling over with jolly tales and
soon had them waving over in laugh
ter.
good time came over to share in the
fun, and the patch grew livelier every
day.
When Four-leaf saw how much they
had changed for the better, he knew
his work in the patch was over and
called all the Clover Children to him.
II must leave you all soon," he said,
''and before I 60 I will tell you a
secret. AS long as you love one an
other you will be beautiful. Anyone
who is cross and bad tempered will

promised him, and waved their pretty
heads in farewell as little girl with
cry of delight stopped and picked
him up.
