British Naval Experts Argue
For Greater Aerial Strength

London, Aug l3.--"The navy of the
future mlot take TO the air; other
wise it will be at hopeless disad-
vantage said Captain Viscount Cur
zon in the House of Commons when
the naval estimates came up for dis
cussion. He pointed out that accord
ing to the latest figures the navy had
only nine fighting airplanes, in con-
trast with the sc possessed by the
United States navy.
To offset the allegation of Captain
Curzon, the Air Ministry has issued
a statement declaring the British
navy to be better equipped with air
planes than that of any other power
and claiming no fewer than 90 fight
ing air machines in commission, with
large number of reserves.
George Lambert, former Civil
Lord of the Admiralty, expressed the
opinion that the British navy was
very inadequately equipped with air
craft. "Can the navy say that from
the defensive point of view the money
of the taxpayer is being spent to the
best advantage?" he asked. "You
are going to spend G16,O00,0 900 on two
new battleships, but it is useless to
spend money on capital ships unless
you have sufficient aircraft for the
ships you already possess"
Lieutenant Commander Kenworthy
emphasized the great need of
strengthening the air fleet. "We are
exposed to two great dangers from
the air." he said, "massed attacks
by fleets Of airplanes flying by night
and scattering poison and disease
germs on our cities, and having our
food supplies cut off by attacks on
the trade routes. The two capital
ships would be of little use warding
off such raiders"
Mr.. Amery, Financial Secretary of
the Admiralty, answered some ques-
tions about recent experimental at
tacks by airplanes on warships in the
Channel. According to published
sensational reports, he said, the at
tacks were completely successful, and
II made in real warfare rpo,ald -hc.s;ss,,
completely wiped out a considerable
portion of the British navy. The
manoeuvers were not of wholly
novel character but part of Sc
ries of valuable and constructive ex-
ercises which have been carried out
for some time. 1t is not true that
the airplanes threw out smoke
screens. The torpedo-carrying air.
planes were sighted 10 minutes be-
fore firing their torpedoes. They
were under dummy gun-fre.
"There is a great difference be-
tween the effect of dummy gun-fre
and real gun-Gre on the morale and
the steadincss of flyer when at a
low altitude at the moment of dis
charging torpedoes," the speaker con-
tinued. "They were attacked by gun
fire in dummy from light cruisers
and destroyers. The attack develop
ed under favorable conditions. We
could not use real conference.-the c3.
The attack thus developed its full of
fensive effect, and number of hits
were recorded under the most favor
able conditions. I do not know the
exact number of hits, but l am in
formed that from the Admiralty Staff
point of view it was not considered to
be at all large, or in any way beyond
what was expected"

There was a hurrying and scurrying
over the chicken yards in their at

appointment to the feathered tribe
was shown when after many futile
attempts to pick up the flakes, they
drooped their feathers and trailed back
to the pens disgusted.
This was the first fall of the beau

everything else that falls to the

Inonresidents receiving income from
sources within the United States are
taxed to the full 8 per cent on in
come from such sources.
Sur-Tax Rates
Taxpayers are reminded that the
aurtax rates, which apply only to net
income in excess of $4,000 also are
unchanged for the year 1921. Letters
received by the bureau indicate the
impression in the minds of the writers
that the lowered surtaX rates are ap-
plicable to net income for the calen-
dar year 1921. Under the revenue
act Of 1921, the surtaN rates for that
year range from / per cent on the
amount of net income between S5Uoo
and $4,000 to 65 per cent on the amount
of net income in excess of S1,OOO.0o0.
For the calendar year 1922, the surtax
rates range from l per cent on the
amount of net income between S60oo
and $4,000 to so per cent by which
the net income exceeds 100000.
The period for filing returns (f the
taxpayer makes return on the calen-
dar wear basis) is from January l to
March 15. 1922. This year, at last. the
tax may be paid in full at the time
of filing the return, or in four install
ments, due on or before March 10.
June Is. September Is, and Decem-
Der Is. Forms 1040A for incomes OF
S5e0o and less, and 1040 for incomes
in excess of $4,000, will be sent to per.
sons who last year filed returns OF
1920 income. Failure to receive form,
however. does not relieve the tax
paver of his obligation to file re-
turn and pay the tax within the time
preseribed. Copies of these forms may
be obtained at the offices of collec-
tors of internal revenue, branch Of
fices, and banks.
The return sworn to before no.
tary or other person authorized to ad-
minister an oath, must be filed with
the collector of internal revenue for
the district in which the taxpayer
lives. or has his principal place OF
business.

has always stood for the highest at
tainable standards in olive processing
ard packing and the answer to his
wcrk is that the name "Sylmar"
stands for quality in olives and olive
oil throughout America. 1t is this
brand more than any other that has
taught the people of the East to eat
California ripe olives.
In acquiring his big interest in the
Sylmar Packing Corporation, Mr..
Moore is not launching his craft Of
business ability into an unfamiliar
sea. He already owns large grove
of olives in Southern California and
1t was his success with this grove
that prompted him to seek a greater
share in the development of this very
industry of the entire state
of California. Mr. Moore is a man

he sprang into international renown

INCOME-TAX FACTS

Thousands of letters have reached
the Bureau of Internal Revenue rela-
tive to changes in revenue legislation
Taxpayers desire to know the benefits
to which they are entitled under the
revenu act of 1921 by way Of in
creased exemptions, lowered surtaXes
and allowances for deductions for
business expenses, losses, centrlbu-
tions and bad debts.
The purpose of the Bureau of In
ternal Revenue is to answer the ques-
tions presented in a series of news
paper statements of which this is the
first Taxpayers are advised to pre-
serve the articles as they appear, in
order that when they begin prepara-
ton of their income tax returns for
the year 1921 they may have before
them a comprehensive summary OF
the requirements of the newSreveTiue
act.
To the person of moderate income,
probably the most important change
is in the exemptions. or credits. Under
the revenue act of 1921 married per-
son or head of a family whose net in
come for 1921 was $1,000 or less is
allowed a personal exemption of 81
500. If the net income is more than
$4,000, the personal exemption is ST.
600. The exemption allowed a married
person or head of a family under the
revenue act of 1918 was $1,000, re-
gardless of the amount of net income
Exemptions for dependents also, are
increased from $500 to S400. Thus, 3
married man with three children,
whose net income for 1921 was $4,000
will pay this year an income tax OF
S12. On the same income for 1920
he paid a tax of $50.
Husband and wife living together
receive but one personal exemption
(S2,500 or $4,000 as the case may be-
If they make separate returns, the
exemption may be taken by either or
divided between them.
Normal Tax
To overcome the disparity in the
normal tax in the case of two tax
payers, one of whom is just within the
lower exemption OF $1,000 (applying
to income of more than $4,000 and
the other just within the higher ex-
emption of S2500 (applying to income
of $4,000 or less), the law provides
that the reduction of the personal ex-
emption for married persons and heads
of families from $500 to $1,000 in
such cases shall not operate to in
crease the tax which would be pay
able if the exemption were S2500 by
more than the amount of net income
in excess of $4,000. For example, a
married man had a net income for
1921 of $5006. Without the benefit of
the above provision, his tax, assuming
he had no dependents, would be Sl20.-
"a ($5,006 less $4,000 equalling $3006
at 4 per cent?. His actual tax is $106.-
"a ($5,006 less $500 equaling S2506
at 4 per cent, or S100.24 plus Sc, the
amount by which his net income ex-
ceeds $4,000.
There is no change in the exemp-
ti0n of $1,000 granted a single person
or married person not living with
husband or wife. Nonresident aliens
are allowed a specific exemption of
$1,000 regardless Of their martial sta
tus, and are allowed no exemption
for dependents.
The normal tax of per cent or
the first $4,000 of net income, above
the exemptions and per cent on the
remaining net income remains un-
changed. This applies to citizens and

Biz Eaters Get
 Kidney Trouble
Take Salts at first slsn Of Bladder irritation or
 1ackache.

The American men and women nnxst guard constantly against kidney trouble, because we eat often too much red meat and all our food is rich. Our blood is filled with urio acid which the kidneys strive to filter out; they weaken from overwork, become sluggish, the elimina- tive tissues olog and the result is kidney trouble, bladder weakness and . general decline in health.
 When your kidneys feel like lsmps of lead; your back hurts or the urine is cloudy, full of sediment, or you are obliged to seek relief two or three times during the night; if you suffer with sick headache, or dizzy, nervous spells, acid stomach, or if you have rheumatism when the weather is bad, get from your pharmacist about four ounces of lad Salts; take tablespoonful in a glass of water before breakfast for 8 few days and your kidneys may then act fine. This famous salts is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, com- bined with lithia, and has been used for generations to flush and stimulate clogged kidneys; to neutralize the acids in the urine so it no longer is source of irritation, thus often ending bladder disorders.
 lad Salts is inexpensive; can not in- jure, makes delightful effervescent lithia water beverage and belongs in every home, because nobody can make a mistake by having a good kidney flushing any tine.
