INCOME TAX FACTS
YOU SHOULD KNOW

Ordinary and necessary expenses"
in the conduct of business are de-
ductible from gross income in making
an income tax return for the year
1920.
What constitutes ordinary and nee
essary expenses, however. is a ques-
tion that puzzles many taxpayers.
Numerous inquiries have been receiv-
ed by the bureau of internal revenue
from automobile owners regarding
purchase and upkeep of such vehicles
and allowable deductions therefor The
urchase price of an automobile, even
though the car is used wholly or part
ly in the business of the taxpayer, is
not a deductible item because it rep
resents a capital investment. If an
automobile, such as a motor truck, is
used exclusively for business purposes
the cost of gasoline, repairs and ope-
rations may be taken as necessary
expense. If an automobile is used one
half the time or one-third of the time
for business purposes, the same frac-
tional part of the cost of repairs, gas
cline and up keep may be taken as a
necessary expense. No deduction may
be made, however, if the automobile
is used solely for the pleasure or con-
venience of the taxpayer or his fam

FRENCH JUDGES WANT
THEIR SALARIES RAISED

Paris, Jan.s 22-Judges of many Of
the French courts including some Of
the higher tribunals are limiting that
they would like to have their pay rails
ed at least to the equivalent Of tele-
graph operators, warehouse watch
men and junior army officers. Their
friends point out that the salaries of
many Of the magistratesN are less
than those of even ordinarily skilled
workmen.
The newspapers have taken up the
campaign in their behalf and are urg-
ing that they be granted allowances
to enable them to live at least decent
ly. Some of the judges have told pub
licly that their colleagues without pri-
vate incomes have to sell their per-
sonal property accumulated in better
days or do clerical work at home to
exc cut a living.
French judges are paid from 500
francs a month (now equivalent to
about 1851 up to S33 francs (now
equivalent to about $5s) for the pre-
siding judge of the higher tribunals.

ENGLISH WOMEN OBJECT
TO SERVING AS JURORS


London, Jan. 24.-Excuses offered
by women who for the first time
have just been called to sit as jurors
in Old Bailey, the worlds most ia
nous criminal court, excited a good
deal of laughter in that usually sedate
place.
Twenty-four women summoned for
jury service in criminal cases and
mixed juries were formed with, in at
least one case, woman serving as
forewoman. The charges included
murder, arson and manslaughter.
The women appeared quite as anx-
ious as men to avoid service on the
juries.
"T'm too nervous" was the plea of
one.
"I'm not strong minded enough
said another. She was excused.
Others pleaded inability to leave
housework, shopping, business, care
of babies or sought to evade service
on the ground of their own illness OF
that of members of their families.
81 know one thing we women will
do" said one jurywoman after sitting
in the court for half an hour. "We
will make the lawyers wear clean
wigs and have better manners"
Others, after their first appearance
in the jury box. made suggestions
that women jurors should be compen-
sated for disruption of their household
routine and that Eight refreshments
should be served during the afternoon
court sessions.
Those in the court rooms seemed to
regard the spectacle of women telling
their true ages, in most cases with
out noticeable hesitation, the most
surprising part of the novel proce-
dure. One was eighty-three and was
excused.
While, in the cases heard during
the opening day, the majority of the
verdicts were mot guilty." litigants
both men and women, and their coun.
sci seemed to be reluctant to have
women sit in judgment in their cases
1t was noticeable that men defendant:
in particular sought, through repeat
ed challenges, to prevent their being
seated as jurors.
"Men know women can't be hood.
w1nked and bamboozled so easily
they are too likely to overlook techni'
calities and go to essentials-that':
the reason they don't want us" SAID
cne woman who had been challenged
and excused.
Women jurors soon will be called t6
decide libel actions, breach of promist
suits, others for false Imprisonment
and assault in the London law court:
and also will make their first appear
ance as jurors in the divorce court.
They have been sitting as jurors IL
some of the counties in England fol
some months.

A Great Year for Bees.
"a swarm Of bees in May
Is worth q load of hay"

This Is q couplet which bee keepers
often repeat, and this year they are got
ting all the swarms they want. In fact,
even bee keepers whose experience has
extended over half century can remern-
Der few, II any, years when bees have
swsrmed the way they have this season.
They have broken up ball games,
alighted on passing automobiles, terri.
fed the residents of suburban towns and
kept amateur apiarists on the jump.
Probably there are ten times as many
colonies of bees In New England as there
we're ak weeks ago.
The explanation of this excessive
swarming is that the colonies were very
strong this spring owing to the mild
winter. The two previous years millions
of bees perished owing to the severe
weather, and for that reason the number
of colonies in New England had become
greatly reduced. This season seems likely
to set them back at their old strength.
Truth to tell, the bees are swarming
much more freely than their owners like
to have them, because numerous swarms
usually mean small yield of honey.
Commercial bee keepers have various
methods by which they try to prevent
swsrmipg, one of the most successful be-
ing the constant addition of extra hives
or supers so that the bees are not crowded
for room.
At this season of the year the queen
bee in each hive gives her sole attention
to the production of eggs, laying an al
most incredible number. She moves
rapidly from one cell to another, leaving
an egg In each, and 1t is not unusual for
her to deposit three times her own
weight in eggs in single day.
Working thus industriously, she soon
adds thousands of additional bees to the
colonies, and If the hive is over-popu.
lated, or II there are no more empty
combs in which the queen can lay her
eggs, swarming invariably results.
The queen herself goes out, with hall
or more of the hives inmates. A short
flight is taken at fret, the great mass OF
bees fastening itself to the limb of tree
or some other hardy support and hang.
ing In an immense cluster with the queen
In the center.
Then scouts are sent out to find per
msuent location, and when these return
the whole swarm goes into the air again
whirling round and round like an i'm
mense ball and moving away at q very
rapid rate.
Sometimes when hollow trees or Other
| natural openings are not available thu
bees will swarm into chimney or into
hole under the caves of house. Blu
usually they seek the woods.
1t is when the insects make their firs
stop that the bee keeper gets busy, TO
they can then usually be hived withou
much difficulty. The common plan is t.
place new hive on the ground unde
them and shake the cluster into this hiv
or to cut off the limb and shake the bee
on to sheet In front Of the entrance.
Just before the bees leave hive the
provide for it's perpetuation by maxim
queen cells from which new queen
eventually hatch. The first queen ths
gets out becomes the ruler Of the hive
and to make sure Of reigning unmoleste
promptly travels over the combs an
!, kills the Matching bees In all the othe
queen cells.
