promise and, of course, Nick was too
good sport to ever think of breaking
his promise.
Once as a treat Daddy had taken
Nick to an air school. And now Daddy
had told him that once again they
could pay it visit. For Nick wanted
again to see the different shops where
the men were learning all parts of an
airplane-Nick had never imagined
there were so many parts!
And how muchs there was to be
learned about those airplanes, too.
Nick was also interested In seeing
all the sports the men who were TAX
ing these courses had.
The head of the school told Nick
that a man made far better flyer
who was good mechanic and who
understood machinery, and Nick be-
lieved him, of course, but it did seem a
big Job to think of learning so much.
But Nick looked all about. He saw
the men learning to make airplanes
and balloons. And after they had Tin
ished making them they had to take
them to pieces again so that they
would thoroughly know every screw
and piece of wood which went to make
up the whole.
Nick walked with Daddy through the
great shops where many small fur
naces were blazing forth with men
before each one. Here they were max
ing instruments, for they learned to
make every instrument they used.
Then they saw the men who were
doing mechanical drawing There We're
dark rooms where they were develop
ing and printing pictures for they did
photography, too. They even wrote
and printed many of their own text
books.
There was a room which had in 1t
quantities Of watches and clocks and
speedometers. They were taking them
to pieces and repairing them and
studying them SO they would under
stand them and their machinery and
workings perfectly, and this. to Nick,
seemed perfectly fascinating.
In other rooms the men were learn
ing the names of every part of every
kind of machinery which in any way
had to do with aviation and they were
reciting these names and writing them
down.
But always Nick saw that everyone
looked interested in his studying.
They were always so attentive and
seemed so eager and keen and inter-
ested. 1t was the same in the great
shops as 1t was where they were study
ing, IN the buildings where the many
fires were burning to those rooms
where men were bending over the
small works Of watches.
And the men to whom Nick talked
said there was so much romance and
adventuring about the air and yet
there was so much fascination about
machinery and that it was so nice to
know the machinery of an airplane
that these courses were no end OF
fun.
So Nick went home with Daddy think
ing of forges and Of great ships flying
through the air, of shops filled with so
many curious parts of machinery.

Senator Warren explained that the
stacks were badly needed because
there was no archives building. SEN
ator Smoot said the filing stacks
could be put into the archives build
ing when it should be erected. Sew
eral senators talked eloquently of the
needs of an archives building. Sena-
tor Smoot said that If he did not
know that the Pension building stacks
would save the government $5O0,0OO
year he would rot ask for the APP
propriaton. Finally Senator Poin-
dexter offered this amendment:
For, the construction of ma
tional archives building in the city
of Washington, District of Columbia.
on square East 8S, including mechan-
ical equipment and the drafting Of
plans and specifications, which plans
and specifications shall provide for
building not to e coed $2,500,O00 in
total cost, $5OO,OOO of said sum to be
disbursed and the building to be con-
structed under the direction and SUI
pervlsion of the supervising architect
of the treasury"
This amendment was taken up the
next day and caused very long de-
bate. Senator Norris said, among
other things:
Mr.. Norris-Mr. President, twenty
years ago / came to the house of rep
resentatives l was put on the COM
mittee on public buildings and
grounds. One of the first things
ever did officially was to listen for
several days to gentlemen talking in
favor of an archives building. They
showed that we had all kinds of doc
uments that We're in danger every
day; that we might have a fire before
night and make the government abso-
lutely bankrupt; and therefore that
we had to have an archives building,
and have 1t at once. There was
great propaganda in favor of it in the
city of Washington. Every newspa-
per was filled with articles demon
strating the necessity of an archives
building to save the old records. For
days and days and months and
luOullIS tudl WCAI Oh tIVSC
people came before that committee,
composed of some good men and some
suckers like me, and they poured that
kind Of argument into us until we
were frightened. We thought the
government was going to fail. I did
not sleep nights for fear fire might
take place and the whole thing might
go up in smoke, and l could not hurry
fast enough to help get that bin out
of the committee We reported it {;
we provided for the purchase of a
square of real estate; and the propa-
ganda for an archives building died
the very minute we passed the bill
and appropriated the money to buy
the land upon which we should build
It.
After debate as to whether the Poin-
dexter amendment was in order 1t
was brought out that the building was
authorized by an act of March 4. 1913
Then the question of whether the
Pension building was fireproof was
fiercely debated. Senator Frelinghuy-
sen who is in the insurance business
had the last word and said that in
the event of fire in. the Pension
building the fire would spread and
could not be extinguished.
Finally the senate accepted both
propositions-the Pension building
stack and the Poindexter amendment
But both propositions were killed
in conference. Considerations of
economy had weight; also the fact
that such amendments as the Poin-
dexter amendment would destroy the
new budget system.

Inquiries received by the Bureau Of
Internal Revenue indicate a mistaken
impression in the minds OF many tax
payers concerning deductions from
gross income for personal expenses.
Deductions for living or family ex-
penses. such as amounts expended ~
food, clothing. education of children
rent for a dwelling. hire OF domestic
servants and similar items for the up-
keep OF a home are expressly disal-
lowed By the revenue act.
A storekeeper may not clothe him
self and family with goods taken from
the store and deduct the cost OF the
clothing as a business expense. A
restaurant keeper or hotel proprietor
should make an allowance for meals
for himself and family.
The same rule applies 10 physician
who conducts a sanitarium. A shop
keeper who dwells over his place OF
business should deduct as a business
expense the rental only of the portion
of the building used for business. A
farmer may deduct as a business ex-
pense wages paid a farm hand. but
not those OF a domestic employed in
his household
A physician who maintains an office
in rented home may deduct the pro-
portion of such rent properly charge
able TO the portion used for profess
sional purposes. If. however, he
maintains an Office elsewhere and in
cidentally receives patients at his
home. he is not entitled to deduct any
part OF the rent for his residence as @
business expense. If a physician
owns the home in which he has his
office no deduction for rent is allowed
The same general rulings in re-
gard to deductions for home and of
ice expenses apply to other profess
sional men.
