A single transaction or se- ries Of isolated trahsactions do not or- llnarily constitute trade or business. A business Is being cared on by Its own er, even though all It's activities may De conducted by employ es.
 A taxpayer may carry on more than | one business or trade if he devotes | sufficient time and attention to each eh- ! tetprisei and may claim as deductions the
 business expenses of> each Mcre invest tfient of capital, however, ls not sufficient to heow such claini. For example, a l manufacturer buying stock in inine or
 oil well who desires to visit the scefie
 of operation may not claim as deduction
 the cost of his journey.
 l The deduction must be a 'business ex-
 pense" and not an investment of cap itaL" Amounts expended for the erection | of new buildings, installation of niachin- cry, and the purchase of tools or lmple- | rients of permanent value do not, con
 stitute business expenses, being merely

He GAVE OFFICER
A HARD CHASE

a heet-footed Hammond negro
nearly got away with a daylight rob
berry late this morning. The man i.
Tom Clark, who gave his address a.
525 Ames avenue.
Three days ago Clark entered the
clothing store of Aaron Jigay on the
corner of Holman street and Plum
mer avenue. and offered Jigay a coat
for sale. Jigay at frst refused to buy
the garment but Clark told him a
hard luck story about being out OF
funds and hungry so Jigay gave him
So sfor the coat. Clark hung around
the place for two days, evidently look
ing the ground over for the contem-
plated robbery This morning he again
entered the store and offered the same
coat for sale that Jigay had bought
from him two days before.
The supposition is that Clark had
watched his opportunity and had stolen
the coat and perhaps some other mer-
chandise while Jigay's back was turn
ed. Jigay was of course amazed to
see the same garment that he sup
posed was hanging in the back of the
store where he had left it. and he
went back to investigate. The mo-
ment his back was turned. Clark
jerked open a drawer in a desk nearby
and seizing a handful OF bills he bolted
for the door.
AS Clark ran out OF the store and
headed west down the alley between
state street and Plummer avenue. Mo
torcycle officer Henson spotted him
and gave chase on his machine, and
at the same time Officer Stelow head
ed down State street. running parallel
with the negro. Clark must have
been pretty badly scared. for he lit
orally flew down the alley. Henson

Harley was wide open. but tthe negro
reached Morton court well in front
of the motorcycle. He rushed into the
front door of the blacksmith shop on
the corner of state street and Morton
court Just as Henson drew up at the
rear. When Clark found his escape
cut on a the back. he rushed out Of
the front again and into the arms OF
Stelow. who arrived at that moment.
At the station Clark gave his age as
Is, but he Is a big fellow and looks
older
As Clark was being booked a colored
man by the name of John Collins came
in and charged Clark with picking hts
pocket for 500, so there will probably
be two counts for the speedy negro
to answer for in the morning in court
His loot from Jigay was s2S, exactly
the sum found on him when arrested.
He Is booked on charge Of robbery.
