Continuing along route No. 25 one

and Jamesport to Riverhead, the county
seat of Suffolk County. Then through
Shoreham to Port Jefferson, on a beau-

ward through Stony Brook and Smith
town Branch to Smithtown. At Smith
town Branch the north shore route and
the middle country road come together

TRADE-|NS AFFECT
INCOME TAX TOTAL
Motorists Allowed Deduction
When Vehicle Has Been
Used for Business.

A motorist trading In used car
or truck used In the course OF his busi-
ness, when purchasing new equipment,
Is entitled to a deduction from his in
come tax, under the terms of ruling
just made by the Internal Revenue
Bureau and announced by the legal de-
partment of the American Motorists
Association.
The decision is regarded of impor-
lance by the association, not only be-
cause it will affect the purchase of
future cars and trucks but because 1t Is
retroactive. Under the revenue act OF
1921 the Treasury Department has al
ways heretofore held that no loss Is
recognized from the trading in of trucks
and passenger cars to be used for like
purposes, Under the new ruling the de-
partment now holds that where the mo-
torist sustains q loss in connection with
the trade-in he may properly de-
duct the loss from his annual income
tax. The decision has no application to
trade-ins where the passenger car Is
used purely for pleasure.
The amount which may be deducted
from the annual tax Is the difference
between what was allowed on the old
car and what the actual deprecated
value was. As an example: If the dealet
allowed but 1000 on trade-in and
the old car was actually worth s1.500
the amount which might be deducted
would be $500 The decision of the su-
reau was based on case wkere the mo-
torist claims q deduction on one Cal
of S8906l. on a second Of s239.37 and
on a third of s336.09, or a total OF
81 ,46607. which the bureau now holds
was a proper deduction for the motorisi
to make inasmuch as the cars were used
in The course of his business.
TN cases where motorists have traded
in old cars and trucks In the purchase
If new cars and trucks used in the
course of their business. they may now
apply to the Treasury Department fol-
an adjustment Of their tax. inasmuch
as the ruling not only affects deals In
the future but also that have been made
in the past" 1t Is pointed out BY
Thomas J. Keefe. general manager 81
the association. ITO obtain the re-
fund, 1t will be necessary for the mo-
terist to show that his traded-in car OF
truck was worth more than the dealer
allowed him in the transaction and also

BALTIMORE. July 81 tSpeciaD -
Ths practice of moving another auto

by Commissioner (. Austin Baughman,

Is violation of the motor vehicle laws

against this practice Commissioner
Baughnan said
The practice of moving parked motor

that he cannot get it out Of the line.
Quite as frequently no attention is paid
70 the possibility o. damage through
contact with other vehicles.
Instances have actually been
recorded where parked vehicles have
been pushed into a position where no
parking is allowed and the innocent
operator receives a tag for violation OF
the parking ordinance.
This practice OF humping the line
cannot be defended. It is also a clear
violation Of section 100 Of the general
automobile Law and entails liability to a
fine of as high as 500,

In view of these facts. any person
who in any manner of way moves a

commits a violation Of the law and
lays himself open &c the lodging of a

1t is both true and amusing-and

the sputtering gas eater was full

CHINA'S STREETS YIELD

Announcement Made by Foreign
Division of the American Auto
mobile Association.
China Is slowly yielding to twentieth
century progress and the latest move is
the project to replace the old dark and
damp alleylike streets of Canton-a
source of never-ending curiosity to
tourists-with 10 miles of modern
maeadamized asphalt avenues.
This announcement was made by the
foreign division of the American Auto
mobile Association, based on reports
received from representatives of the
United States Government In Chit.
Canton as yet has e:iiy 30 miles -
modern roads. 81 miles Of which are
r1acadamiZeG, eight concrete and three
asphalt. At present one and a half
miles OF streets are under construction
in Canton. One of them Is broad
avenue which follows the site of the
city wall that protected the city for
centuries against robbers and invaders.

Miss Margaret Striebeck, that "our

boys and girls"
So we started studying the multi
plication tables. Studying, real
studying. None of the learning of
tables by games as there has been
in the lower grades. This was real
school now.
The transition from learning by
play to learning by individual Glen-
tai effort was not quite so abrupt as
I may have indicated. Miss STRIFE
beck walked up and down the aisles
giving us help when we asked for it.
We asked for quite d lot. Besides
the multiplication table we were
wading through the intricacies of
long division.
No real interest in the world of
fairies and elves could be main
tanned after the lively discussion OF
our class on the real physical world
Miss Strieback began the geog-
raply lesson with a discussion of the
earth's characteristics. She was in
terrupted by Kenneth Alexander:
why, if the world is round, why
don't we fall off?
To this question, Charles Davis
added: And where is the sky? 1
thought that we lived on the inside
of the earth and that if we wanted
to get out we would have to break
up through the sky"
But the teacher had ready eXpla-
nation for all this. She took us into
the hall and had Charles draw an
immense chalk circle on the floor.
She told us to stand on the line
and note how flat" the portion be-
tween our feet looked compared to
