an agreement could be reached.
Sterling's movements in the early
dealings reflected no misgivings
over the European outlook and
stocks concentrated on the unmis-
taxable evidence furnished in the
previous session that the market had
returned to the aggressive phases of
the dull swing.
Industrial leaders started at the
best levels on the present uprush.
while rails also were in active de-
mand
Sterling advanced fractionally
from its opening level. In view of

reason ITO borrow alarm over devel-

BUILDING AND LOAN
INCOME EXEMPT

WASHINGTON. Feb. building
and loan association members
throughout the country are urged
in n statement by c. c. James,
chairman of the legislative commit
tee Of the League of Building and
Loan Associations to include in thcir
income tax returns the names o.
the building and loan associations
from which they have drawn divi-
dends or interest in the last year.
BY so doing Mr.. James, says the
association members will make sure
that any exemption from taxes on
such payments will be given them
by the internal revenue bureau.
The individual income tax blanks
carry no reference TO the exemption
of returns from building and loan
associations which make loans only
to members. An exemption up to
$500 of such interest or dividend is
allowed for members of such asso-
Citations The exemption, however,
does not apply to members of asso-
Citations which make loans to non
members.

DO you remember how as a
child you used to count the
telegraph poles as you went
driving by? Now here's
pretty little problem which you
can work out in a practical way
next time you go whizzing by
a line Of telegraph poles. We
were returning the other day
from an automobile trip when
we came TO a short signal line
Of 3s miles of telegraph poles.
With the aid of a stopwatch
we discovered that the aver
age noles passed per minute
multiplied by the 81 miles
would give the number OF miles
per hour that the car was go
ing. Now, you see from these
facts you should be able to tell
just how far apart were the
poles. not forgetting that a pole
stood at either end Of the and
