TAX SUIT

The question of who pays the
fiddler" was partially solved yester'
day. At least his income became
known.
Jascha Heifetz. violin virtuoso,
who entered this country in 1927
with the avowed intention of thrill
ing the country with his violin
recitals, has paid this country in
come taxes on an income approx.
mating $15O,0O0 yearly it became
known following decision by the
United States Board of Tax APP
peals.
The tax appeals body decided that
Commissioner of Internal Revenue
Blair had overstepped his zeal in
assessing added taxes totaling $l13,-
4OS.33 against the artist between
the years 1919 and 1924, inclusive.
The litigation was over certain
sums that Heifetz had paid his
father and mother for Services
rendered." and which the world
famous artist had charged off his
great income. His father was paid
S124.327.3O and his mother received
$11O.500.
The commissioner held that the
payments to his parents were
gifts" and could not be deducted.
The board, however, decided that
the fathers services during the
period were worth $72 900 and his
mothers $62,0 ,000, and that HeifetZ
was entitled to a reduction of $tS4,-
900 from his gross income. Under
the tax board ruling he will be
called upon to pay a deficiency tax
on about 100000.
The testimony given at the hear
ing yesterday showed that the vir-
tuosO's father. Ruvin Heifetz, had
served as his sons instructor and
had also been instrumental in aiding
him to arrange his programs. His
mother. the evidence revealed. had
served as his business manager.
Heifetz told the board that he was
80 years old. He has been perform
ing since the age of 10, when he
appeared on the stage in European
capitals. He recently was married
to Florence Nidor, film actress.

method of restoring gray hair In.
variably recommend nothing more
or less than a mixture of good old
sage tea and sulphur. Common
garden sage. when properly brewed
and mixed with sulphur and little
alcohol, makes a wonderful recol-
orer of gray hair. You can either
prepare the mixture at home your.
self, or more conveniently, buy II
already prepared and ready to use.
All druggists carry it in the form
of Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur, and
since the cost is only 75c a bottle.
there is really no need to prepare
it yourself
You simply moisten a comb or
soft brush with it and draw it
through your hair, one strand at
time. One application banishes the
gray and one or two more com
pletely restores your hair to it's
original color, so evenly, so nat
urally that no one can possibly tell
you have used 1t. Everyone who
tries Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur
tells me he, or she. gets perfect
results, so l don't hesitate to pass
the secret on to others.
