In computing his net income for
the year 1928 a taxpayer may de-
duct from gross income all losses,
incurred not only in his business,
trade or profession, but in any
"transaction entered into for profit
not compensated for insurance or
otherwise.
To be allowed, losses not incurred
in trade or business must conform
closely to the wording of the statute.
For example, a loss incurred in the
sale of a taxpayers home, which at
the time of purchase was bought
without the intention of resale, is
not deductable because it was not a
transaction entered into for profit.

of a farm as a business venture are
deductable. If sustained in the OPP
Grafton of a farm operated merely
for the pleasure or convenience of
the taxpayer, such losses are not de-
ductable.
Losses arising from fires, storms,
shipwreck, or "other casualty''-for
example, a flood or frost-whether
or not connected with the taxpayers
business, may be deducted from the
gross income in his 1923 tax return.
If his home or automobile is destroy
ed by fire, the loss is deductable for
the year in which it occurred.
Loss of property by theft or bur-
glary is an allowable deduction and
need not be incurred in trade or
business. A loss for embezzlement
is also deductable.
All loses are deductable only to
the extent by which they are not
compensated for by insurance or
otherwise.

Every woman who makes biscuits
to perfection is extremely proud OF
them and incidentally very popular
with her family. There is nothing
like a piping hot biscuit with melt
ing butter to chit the spot" when
YOU come home cold and hungry for
dinner. So far as that goes, bis
cults that are light and fluffy and
tender, with a rich, golden brown
crust, don't need to go begging at
any time of day. /.
Making good buiscuits is n Oh
those things that seems the easiest
thing in the world to do-when you
know how. You can throw them to-
pether in no time and hardly give
them a thought.
The main points to be remember
ed are that the ingredients should
be cold, the dough should be handled
as little as possible and the oven
should be hot.
It is better to cut the fat into the
-four rather than to rub it IN with
The fingers. because the hands tend
to warm up the fat. One Of the
quickest and most convenient ways
of cutting it in is to use a biscuit
Of cookie cutter. Of course, 1t IS
lust a trihe quicker to use the
fingers. especially when a large
onantitv is being made. If you cool
off your hands in cold water and
take care to use only the tips OF
your fingers, you can get very good
results. It is mainly a matter OF
keeping the materials cold until
thew 90 into the oven.
Mixing the dough is very import
ant. Enough milk should be used
TO make dough that is easily rolled
ont but not sticky. The quantity
If milk depends on the kind Of flour
some kinds absorb more than others.
some people prefer to pat the dough
out with the hands rather than to
use the rolling pin. This methoo
makes a rougher crust.
The kind of biscuit that IS 50
~ponular in the south, with the very
smooth, even crust, a be made Dy
using enough milk to make a very
soft dough and then rolling out on n
. veil Toured board. A very small
c,tter is usually used with this kind
- -ouor hisc,7i4s of course bake
more quickly.

Divide the dough in half. Pat

Butter the tops and place one layer
on top Of the other. Bake in a hot
oven about 20 minutes.
Just before serving, split in half
and spread each layer with plenty
Of juicy fruit, either fresh or can

is hardly any better than no short

Deductions for bad debts and con
tributions, which are allowable I'M
der the revenue act, form a consider
able item in the income-tax returns
of many taxpayers. Bad debts can
be deducted only for the year in
which they are ascertained to be
worthless and charged off the books
of the taxpayer. The return must
show evidence of the manner in
which the w~orthlessness of the debt
was discovered and that ordinary
and legal means of collection have
been or would be unavailing.
Unpaid loans made to needy rela-
tives or friends with little or no ex-
p~ectation that they would be repaid
are not deductable but are regarded
as gifts.

Tomorrow evening in the high

concert given by the orchestra
Under the direction of Miss Myrtle
Martin the orchestra has worked out
great many very good selections.
During the year it has helped with
the presentation of every play and
entertainment given by the high
school and junior college, besides
playing for numerous entertain
ments given outside of the school.
Directly after the concert there
will be a fashion show put on by
the sewing classes. There are to
be about 40 dresses exhibited in the
snow, some of the very latest of
styles. The girls have made some
gowns which if bought in the regu-
lar way would cost $40 to 800.
Many different styles are to be dis
played.
The commercial department is al
SO planning an exhibit. Besides
specimens of penmanship, shorthand,
typewriting and bookkeeping, a
miniature office show will be on

tcs in typing, a tipping rhythm
drill, and the operation of the vari-
Gus office appliances such as the

/ NEW YORK, May 2O.-This year
national political conventions, peo
pie far from the scene of action may
be able TO see and hear the proceed
ings practically as soon as they oc-
cur, as well as read about them.
AS a result of successful tests in
the transmission of new photographs
by wire, the American Telephone
and Telegraph Company announced
today that pictures of the big con
ventionS next month can be sent to
newspapers for printing with Il com
paTatircly lew minutes after the in
cident photographed occurs.
arrangements already have been
made for broadcasting the praceed
ings of both conventions by radio.
The experiments conducted by the
a. 7. & I. resulted in Is photo
graphs being transmitted froml Clev-
e.and to New York within two
hours. The success of the test led
to the general conclusion that the
work of sending news photos by
wire has now reached such an ad-
vanced stage of development that it
can be placed on a commercial basis.
Different kinds of pictures were
used for experiment. First, several
studies of President Coolidge were
transmitted. coming out with amaz-
ing clearnCss and permitting first
class reproduction in the morning
New York papers. Following these
vas Il picture of the High Level
bridge at Cleveland, bringing out
early not only the structure but
surroundings, tug boat and smoke
from the boat funnel. Pictures of +.
c. HopwOod, editor of the Cleveland
Plain Dealer and H. B. r. Briggs,
editor of the Cleveland Press follow
ed, each strikingly clear in detail.
All were reproduced in New York
papers without finishing touches
and demonstrated clearly the prae-
ticability of the invention.
Process Is Explained
The sending. machine for the ex-
pertinent was set up in Cleveland
and its operation was under the di
reetibn of American Telephone and
Telegraph engineers, both at Clev
: aud and Now York and was wit
lFssed by numerous newspaper pub
fishers and reporters. The general
principles of the process are simple,
there is an infinite amount
of complex detail. The basis is a
photo-elcctric cell which translates
every variation of a beam of light
into variation of electric current,
which in turn is translated into Il
variation of light at the receiving
end.
The source of light in the sending
machine is the same as an ordinary
automobile lamp. The spot of light
from the lamp passes through a
lens upon a Photographic film, which
in turn, is transmitted. The film
is i'll the form of cylinder and as
this cycliner revolves, the point of
light passes through the transparent
film and falls upon a potassium pen
ell which runs through the center
of the cylinder.
When the light falls on it, the
clcctrons fly from the surface of the
