Eastern Galicia- part Of Austria-

hands Of Poland Because both clai-

This one-time patch OF the old Aus
trian Empire is the subject Of the
following bulletin issued by the Nat

the east. Then. too. lsndlordism was
developed on a basis approaching feu-
dalism and many of the landlords TO
the Ruthenians were Poles. Finally the
finances of the east, largely controll-
ed from the city OF Lemburg. were
chiefly in Polish hands. Because Of
these conditions, though Eastern Call

legal action would in all probability re-
suit In collection of the debt.
Unpaid loans made to needy relatives
with little OF no expectation of their re-
turn, are not deductible, but are re-
garded as gifts. Where the creditor con-
tinues to extend credit to debtor. a
debt may not be charged off as worth
less. If a debt is forgiven, It can not be
claimed as a deduction. because 1t is
then regarded as a gift, which is not
an allowable deduction.
A valid debt proved to be worthless
is not always a proper deduction. For
examule, unpaid amounts representing
wages, salaries, rentals, or similar items
OF taxable income are not allowed IS de-
auctions unless included as income in the
creditors return for the year In which
the deduction Is sought, or previous
years. The fact that expected income
was not received does not reduct the
annout Of taxable income.

INCOME TAX FACTS

NEW PROVISIONS.

The revenue act of 1921 contains two
new and important provisions with re-
spect to deductions for bad debts Debts
ascertained to be worthless and charged
off during the year 1921 may be deduct
ed, and when satisfied that debt Is re-
coverable only in part, the commission
er of internal revenue may allow such
debt to be charged off In part.

tablished business practice, sets I'D an

on experience. reasonable additions to
such reserve during the year. within the
discretion of the commissioner. may be
deducted. In such a case, debts written
OF on the books Of the taxpayer must
be charged against the reserve, and must
not be claimed as a deduction from
gross income
Before deducting a debt In part a
| Taxpayer must be able to show with a
| reasonable degree of certainty the
amount uncollectible. In determining
whether a debt Is worthless In whole or
| in part, the commissioner will consider
pertinent evidence, such as the value of

ton of the debtor. Partial deductions
| will be allowed with respect to sLecihc

Reserve Accounts.
| Taxpayers, who prior to 1921, have
maintained reserve accounts for bad
| debts may deduct rea son able addition

HEBREWS TO OBSERVE
YOM KIPPUR, HOLY DAY
Will Cease Participation in World
ly Concerns for Period Begin
ming Sunday Evening Oct. 1.

yom Kippur. the holiest day of the
Hebrew calendar, will be inaugurated
Sunday evening. October !. fhat
evening and again on Monday. from
morning until eveptide, the Jewish
people foregather for worship in their
several synagogues in all parts OF
the world.
Wherever the Jewish people happen
to be, whether few Gr many. they
will cease from worldly concerns and
give themselves wholly to thoughts
of repentance.
More than any other Jewish holl-
day, Yom kippur revives the conf
dence of the Jew in the ultimate trl-
umph of Gods love and justice.
The outward form of observance
practiced by the Jewish people on
this day is abstention from food and
drink. The intent of this ceremony
is to affliCt the soul, in order that the
worshippei- be better disciplined to
exercise Self-control and direct his
actions for the upbuildinG and bet
terment of humanity.
A memorial service is included in
the exercises, which reminds the
worshiper that death is a consumma-
tion of life and that no one who has
lived worthily is forgotten nor his
life's efforts void.s The memorial
service is crowded with tender MEM
cries and utilizes the solemn moments
tc impress on the, congregation the
imperative need of duty and service
