INCOME TAX
+. RETURNS WILL
SOON BE- OUT

For the first time in the history
of the Southern California internal
revenue district, the audit of in
tome tax returns filed this year
viii be completed bv September 10,
and taxpayers will then know where
they stand with the government, in
stead of having to wait from one to
two years, as has been the case
heretofofe.
Under the new system, Collector
Rex B. Goodcell said that all re-
turns of gross or net income up to
$4,000 are now audited in his of
flee. Heretofore all returns of in
come in excess of $4,000 were sent
to Washington for auditing. With
the new policy in operation a quar-
ter of million taxpayers in South
ern California will settle their tax
controversies here instead of hav-
ing to do business direct with Wash
ington. Thousands of dollars in
travelling expense win be saved tdx-
payers under the new plan and
quick settlement made.
Collector Goodcell was notified
yesterday that the income tax re-
view and appeal board would arrive
in Los Angeles early in September
to hold sessions at which appeals of
Southern California income taxpay-
ers from decisions of the income tax
unit will be heard.
Under the new revenue act this
appeal board is under the direction
of the solicitor general of the in
tcrnal revenue bureau. Appeals
from its decisions are heard by the
tax appeal board which was Great
ell by the revenue act of 1924 and
which is a body Independent of the
revenue bureau, the members of
which were appointed by the presl-
dent.
Quarters for the income tax ap-
peal board have been arranged for
in the federal building.
''The visit of the appeal board to
Los Angeles is in line with the de
partment S policy Of bringing the
government to the people" " Collec
tor, Goodcell said.

Asiatfcs are fairly competent and re-

The industry already gives employ

lives in Japan. Four-fifths OF the
workers In Japanese mills are women

EXPLAIN Why DOGS HOWL
eeIsntists Declare Canine Occasionally
Rsvsrts to Savaoery Of His An
cestor, the Wolf.

What makes your dog lift up his
nose and howl? It's the wolf in him.
say scientists.
For every dog, no matter what his
breed, has a strain of wolf in him, a
wolf having been the far-off father
Of all dogs. And just as reasonable
human being will sometimes give way
to primitive instinct under the infiu-
ence of some violent emotion. so the
best-trained dog will occasionally re-
vert to the savagery of his ancestor.
the wolf
Exactly as a man will often raise
his head in unconscious imitation OF
his caveman forebear. so Your pet dog
will at times show the instincts OF his
parent wolf Watch your dog turn
around and around before lying down
before fire, just as the wolf makes
himself Lair listen to him howl as
the wolf bowls.
The pointer is only an exaggerated
instance of mans Improvement on the
original dog or wolf. Every dog pauses
before his spring; man selected to
breed from the dog which paused the
longest, and so in time arrived at a
dog which pointed and didn't spring
at all. The greyhound is another in
stance; for his particular job he need
ed little scent and little brains, but
perfect eyesight and speed. BY select
ing only those dogs which possessed
these qualities the present type was
reached. But every dog, wherever he
lives or whatever use man is making
of him. comes from the common
source, the wolf.
