Special Dispatcb to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
BOSTON, February 20.-Predictions
of New England bankers that 1922
would be year of slow but steady
improvement are apparently being
fulfilled. Business is undoubtedly
getting better. bank clearings are in
creasing and unemployment is less
noticeable. Manufacturing plants as
a whole are operating at greater
percentage of capacity. The fact that
this trend is apparent in February
gives hope for much better trade
month or two hence when the normal
spring impetus will help it along.
Sales at retail during the last year
have been far above production and
the point apparently has been reached
where jobbers and retailers must
order from manufacturers to replace
the goods they are selling.
1t Is considered almost certain that
the cotton mills throughout New
England which have not already cut
wages of employees will do so before
many weeks elapse. Manufacturers
in New Bedford and Fall River are
apparently awaiting the outcome OF
the strikes in Rhode Island, New
Hampshire and northern Massachu-
setts, but they assert that the lower
wages and longer working hours
that prevail in the mills of the south
make it necessary for the New Eng
land manufacturers to bring their
working forces into line. The strikes
have had little effect on the cotton
goods market other than to intensity
the existing dullness.

printed on the forms. provided by thu
government are to the effect that the
exemption is $4,000. Can this variance
be harmonized?
A. A married person. living with
husband or wife, or the head of a
family may deduct $4,000, only IL his
net income Is not more than $4,000.
1t 1t is more than $1,000. he may de-
duct $4,000 only. The form you in
closed (1040-A) applies to people with
net incomes Of not more than $1,000.
Q. (S3)-(a) Do ! have to compute
as part Of my income a dividend re-
ceived on my daughters life insurance,
when I have always paid the premiums.
and the>iivIdend is only small fraction
OF the amount paid in premiums?
(b) Are The fees which a minister re-
ceives for weddings to be computed as
earnings, or are they regarded as pres
ents?
(c) II we keep a boarder, and what
Is paid for board goes to my wife, is
the amount so received, minus the cos.
of her food and the care of her room,
to be computed as earnings?
A. (a) The dividend must be re-
garded as income, unless it Is not
true dividend. Write to the insurance
company If in doubt.
tb) Fees for weddings are to be re-
garded as earnings.
(c) Report as income the balance left

PLAN CONVENTION
TO BOOM BUSINESS
'Truth Week" Will Intrude Drive
for More Accuracy in Ad-
vertising.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
.ST. LOUIS, Mo. February 20.-The
National Better Business Commits
sion, in which bureaus of thirty-fve
cities, including the Better Business
Bureau of Washington, D. c., hold
membership. will hold a four-day
convention here. beginning tomorrow
and closing Friday.
Truth week" which has as its
nucleus the better business conven-
ton, will be observed this week
which includes the anniversary of
the birth of George Washington, and
during which time truth in advertis-
ing will be dedicated. Business men
viii write their newspaper advertis-
ing to correspond with the truth cam
paign, and the theme will be discussed
before civic and commercial organ
izations and other large groups.
Truth week" is expected to be OBJ
served this year in a number of cities
and next year in most of the impor-
tant cities and towns in the United
States. The week at first was in
tended to be confined each year TO
the city in which the Better Business
Commission happened to hold its
February semi-annual meeting. but
the plan quickly assumed national
proportion. Complete plans have
been sent to the Advertising Club of
Washington, D. C. for it's con-
NeHleHCe III lTutH week.
but it has been learned that officials
of the Advertising Club in that city
have decided to delay the campaign
for at least two months, as there is
possibility of a conflict with other
week" campaigns already arranged
for.
Included in the number of better
business bureaus affiliated with the
commission and their managers who
are expected to attend is the Better
Business Bureau of Washington, D.
c., of which F. y. Whclley is the
head.
The total number of firms in the
United States which, through the
thirty-five better business bureaus
are represented in the commission is
approximately 5000. it is said, and
the number is growing rapidly. Most
of the medium sized and smaller
cities are expected to organize bet
ter business bureaus in the course of
the next several years.

RainfaIIs in Texas Area
Revive Business Partly
BY JAMES II. RECORD
Special Dispatch TO The Star.


FORT WORTH. Tex, February 20.
Revival of business activity has
followed the rains throughout north,
south and east Texas, but trade in
west Texas still continues slow today
because of the drought in that sec
ton. The conditions in the extreme
northwestern countries are some
what better than on the plains, but
still are far from normal for this
period of the year. Grass on the
cattle ranges is playing out rapidly
and the stock raisers are being driven
to the expensive expedient of buying
feed.
Smelters around Ell Paso are COM
mencing to show signs of life as the
mines in Arizona and New Mexico are
resuming operations. The advance in
grain prices has materially cheered
the grain growers of the Texas pan
handle. VINO still hold large stocks.
Flour has made big net gains in all
the big milling centers within the
last week.
The Santa Fe and Frisco lines are
preparing to make large expendi-
lures for improvements throughout
the southwest and this will benefit
many laborers now unemployed. Or
ders have been issued at many points
on the Rock Island road to re-employ
forces laid off during January. The
Texas oil production for last week
showed a restriction of production of
5000 barrels a day from the figures
of the previous week.

Building Activity Grows
In Frisco Area; Easy Money
BY LYNN c. SIMPSON.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

SAN FRANCISCO. February 90
Persistent rains all over the northern
part of California has checked retail
trade and delayed farming opera
tions, but the prospects for future
prosperity have been increased by
abundant moisture. A heavy snow
fall in the mountains, followed by
cold weather assures ample water for
power plants and irrigation during
the summer.
Building activity is on the increase
despite the temporary halt to opera
tions caused by the weather. Capt.
tai shows more inclination to turn to
building construction as easier money
rates are put into effect. Bank re-
serves are high throughout the dis
trict and financiers speak confidently
Of a business revival just ahead.
Sharp reductions in retail prices are
stimulating the clothing trade. The
smaller profits in many cases are be-
ing balanced by speedier turnover.
The successful automobile show just
ended has revived interest in that line
and some agents report heavy sales.
Tho trade as whole Is in better con-
dition than for some time. The stock
Of used cars is being well cleared up.

Buyers were aggressive in the cotton

wise than by gift.
Congress realized the difficulties
which would beset the taxpayer who
disposed of gift in his endeavors to
ascertain the proper basis of comput-
ing the resulting gain or loss. The
law provides that the commissioner
shall make every endeavor to ascer-
tain the tpie basis in every case.
1t must be borne in mind that the
section of the law under discussion
changes past procedure only with ref
erence to such gifts as were acquired
subsequent to December 81, 1920. 1t
does not change the law with respect
to gifts acquired prior to that date.
Gifts acquired prior to January I,
1921, are to be treated by the tax
payer as though they had cost him
the equivalent of the fair market
value of the property received. as of
the time of the receipt of the gift
II the property in question had been
acquired prior to March /, 1913, the
value of that date must be taken into
consideration. The Importance of this
date will be feferred to very shortly.
