Open Winters.

According to the almanac, winter
does not end until March II. Intruth,
as dwellers of this latitude know, it
occasionally does not end until May
day. 1t is hard to tell just what con-
stitutes an open winter. If there are
no storms Of great violence, no heavy
suowfalls and no severe cold for the
first two months of winter, and there
shall come everything in the way of
dOings that man does not want, is it
proper to speak Of the entire winter
as an open one?
Are we to be convicted Of mean
ness of disposition if we say a good
word or two to the good folk who are
talking of an open winter concerning
some of the happenings of the past.
The worst blizzard which the eastern
country ever knew, blizzard which
brought death, destruction and suffer
ing with it. bore down at an open
winters close on March II, 1888. Is
it cruelty unkind to present for today's
thought = blizzard of late February
which, following an almost summer
like winter, deeended upon the COM
munity living here in the latter days
of February, 1895.
There are, even at this distance of
time, chilly recollections of an Easter
day of 1907. The furnace fires had
been allowed to die out. spring in its
proverbial and poetic etfulgence was
upon us, and then came winter. 1t is
not wise to whistle until you are out
OF the winter woods. Moreover, the
keeper of the records tell us that if
we have long continued warm wealth
er We must have some time near or
remote, of protracted cold weather
to keep the average of the years even.
An open winter is open to suspicion
until the last leaf of its book is turn,

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 losses
must be confined to the following
classes: Losses sustained in trade OF
business: losses sustained in transac-
tions entered intofOr profit, though not
connected with trade or business;
losses sustained of property not con-
nected with trade or business if arts
ing from fires, shipwreck, storms, or
other casualty, or from theft. TO the
extent any of theabove losses are com
pensated for by insurance they are
not deductible.
TO be allowed as a deduction in the
return for 1920 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. Inneither event. however, is he
entitled to a claim for deduction until
the loss is made absolute 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. +"
A loss sustained by a taxpayer in the
sale of bis home is not deductible for
the reason that ordinarily when a man
buys a residence aud moves into it he
has no intention OF selling and has not
"euteredinto transaction for profit. "

War Words.

The War has brought ont lot OF
words THAI have been popular for a
few weeks "NOrmalcy'' has been
coined by the President-elect. and it
is ''the latest. " Since it is in only a
few of the dictionaries. it is late
enough-in more ways than one. A
mathematical dictionary says nor
malcy relates to 1.-THE co ordinates OF
the point of contract. Possibly it IS
nOn-resemblingkinto 'camouhage. -
The Investigations of the War have
demonstrated the former asctndaucy
of "camouhage, and now that nor
malcy" is in high favor in official
circles at Washington. all will wish
for it success at least equal to that
of its less deserving kinsmen in the
family of fOrceful words.
Normally, according to employ
ers, seems to mean lower wages.
Manufacturers figure that it means
continued high prices, retailers inter
pref it to imply big profits, and the
consumers think it means that things
will be cheaper.
In the language of brass tacks nor
malcy" meaDsther return OF confidence
based upon courage. 1t has something
to do with meeting the demand for a
billion dollars worth of new homes
and houses by building them; and to
put another billion dollars worth of
electric railways, gas pipes, tele-
phones and light wires, sewers, and
other public utility improvements in
operation to make possible decent
living in decent establishments, far
from the maddening crowd, " since
living according to conditions of nor
malcy" is among civilization most
urgent demands.

Washington, where this article is
