[ Notice That----

When the various mems clubs of this
city meet for luncheon. they sing a
few songs as an appetizer and between
courses. This is a flne thing and en-
ables the food to digest a little better
and makes everybody happy except the
mattresses who don't like the noise.
Now yesterday was down to the
Lions club when they had a meeting
and something to eat and they sang.
The singing was good but the view
was terrible. Ry view" I mean the
way some OF them looked while they
sang.
You soc it's this way. A lot OF fellows
can sing the air and some can sing
the bass, but what's usually lacking is
some tenor. Therefore some OF the fell
lows who can sing the air. jumped n
few notches on the scale and sing tenor
and naturally II is quite a strain. 1
was watching them yesterday from
where I was contributing to tho noise
Frank Sauerwald always wears ono

that the reason was so he could sing
a little better. His Adams apple had
more room to slide up and down on
his vocal chords thru tho freedom Of
that collar. He could sing too.

MORE INFORMATION
ON THE income TAX

Numerous inquiries have been re.
ccived regarding tho proper interprcta-
ton OF Section 2e3 OF the Revenue Act
of 1921, which provides that each in
dividual whose gross income for 1921
was 5000 or over shall file a return
regardless OF his or her net income.
Gross income means statutory gross
income. defined by the revenue act to
include gains. profits and income de-
rived from salaries, wages, or compen-
sation FOR personal scrvicc-of what
ever kind and In whatever form paid,
or from professions. vocations. trades,
business, commerce or sales or deal
ings In property. whether real or per-
sonal growing out OF the ownership or
use OF or interest In such property;
also from interest. rent, dividends. Sc
curit!cs or 'hc transaction of any bus!-
ness carried on for gain or profit or
gains or profits and income derived
from any source whatever"
Gross income does not necessarily
mean gross receipts. A merchant, for
instance, In computing statutory gross
income. should deduct therefrom the
cost OF goods sold. For example, q
merchants may have gross receipts
amounting to $4,000. but the cost Of
goods sold amounts to $1,000. He has no
other income. Tho statutory grosA In
come would be 81 000. In case tho other
deductions allowed him for business
expenses. taxes. interest. bad debts,
etc. Al .ount to 3.5. 900, his net income
would be $500. No return OF income ID
required In this case.
A lawyer who Is married and livins
with his wife has gross receipts In the
form OF fees amounting to 5000 and
his necessary business expenses
amount to 1920. leaving a net income
of only Sl,so0. A return will be required
In this case. as taxpayers gross In
come as we'll as gross receipts is SIS.
