Since Naples Is a city of towering

photogrephing much Of the picture in
a twilight state Of illumination. He
and his csmeramen had to take par

subdued effect they would not az the

Everyday Law Cases
When Are Bad Debts Deductdble
Under Income Tar Statute?
By THE COUNSELLOR.

Charles Glover, in filing his income
tax return, claimed as deduction the
sum Of $36,56728 for debts ascertained
to be worthless and charged off during
the taxable year of 1925. The Commits
sioner of Internal Revenue allowed a
deduction of only $1,841. 26 and deter
mined deficiency of taxes amounting
to $15,335. The commissioners decision
was based upon his finding that the
debts claimed as bad by Glover should
have been recognized by him as such
prior to 1925 and should have been de-
Quoted then instead of his waiting for
subsequent year in which to make the
deduction.
Glover's attorney took an appeal from
the commissioners opinion to the Board
of Tax Appeals, asserting that Glover
had exercised an honest Judgment in
determining that the bills receivable
were uncollectable in 1925 and the
deduction accordingly should be allowed
for that year.
Glover's contention was overruled by
the Board of Tax Appeals and later by
the Federal Circuit Court of Appeals,
the court stating:
"A taxpayer cannot carry on his
books accounts as good when in fact
they are worthless and deduct them
for the purpose of his income tax re-
turn in year subsequent to the one in
which he must be presumed to have
ascertained their worthlessness. If he
makes his claim too late it will be dis
allowed, not for that year only but for
all subsequent years"

The Garden i'm Romance
BY MARY POTTER DAVIS.

SCOTS description of the revels in
the garden Of Kenilworth when Queen
, Elizabeth visited the Earl OF Leicester
have cast glamour over Elizabethan
times for many youthful readers.
Under the spell of the great Scotch
| writer one joins the crowd of the EarFs
retainers waiting at the roadside, and
the heart quickens its beat as the cry
goes up, 1.-THE Queen! The Queen!"
On come the 200 horsemen holding
aloft their waxen torches: on comes
England's great Tudor Queen, richly
clad and riding a white horse with
, such grace and majesty that it is nat
| ural for the waiting crowd to pay
| homage to her magnif1cence.
The huge porter, waiting at the Gal
| lery Tower, delivers his speech OF vel
come and the bells of the tower ring
out in her honor as the Queen enters,
other chimes and minstrel bands
throughout the grounds joining in the
tuneful greeting.
AS the Queen passes through the
tower and crosses the bridge Leading
to another part of the castle, beaut1-
full raft resembling a floating island
appears on the lake, attended by sea
horses, tritons and nereids. When this
pageant has drifted toward the bridge,
the lady of the lake appears on the
island, and hands over her authority.
for the time being, to the royal visitor.
The fireworks that illuminate the gar
den after the pageant fairly sizzle before
the readers eyes, through the magic
of SCOTS pen "Such was the blaze
of burning darts, the CLEAN of stars
coruscant. the streams and halls OF
fiery sparks, hghtnings of w1d-flre and
f1ight-shot of thunderbolts, that the
heavens Numbered, the waters surgeo
and the earth shook"
Only a short time after this brilliant
display the Earl's beautiful, unacknowl-
edged bride is hurriedly driven through
the garden on the fateful journey sc
secretly begun.

OUR CHILDREN
BY ANGELO PATRI.
But How +?

But How?
It is so easy for the child specialist
to tell a mother just what is the trouble
with the wee chap. Very easy to tell
her why he does SO and so, and wrings
her heart daily. But wr1at the mother
wants to know is not so much why he
does so and so and wrings her heart as
how to get him to stop it.
Take running away. Here is busy
mother with a runabout child and a
baby in arms. All the housework is to
be done, all the countless goingS and
comingS of a household to be attended
to, and the runabout boy runs away.
He has been told again and again
that he is to stay in the yard. He has
been told again and again Of the dam
ger he runs by crossing the street. He
has promised again and again never
to DO it again." But he does it again
and again, always selecting the time
when it is most announcement for his
mother. How is she to make him want
to stop crossing the road? Running
away? What is she to do when he runs
away besides going after him and bring
ing him home again?
Any intelligent child will seek for
other children to play with, and II
that means crossing a dangerous street,
he will cross 1t; If it means running
away, he will run away. ! know Of no
way to stop his wanting companionship.
Nobody wants to stop his wanting COM
partnership. They only want him to
stop crossing the dangerous roads. Then
We do know how to help the mothers of
runabouts. Make safe places for the
children to play in. There is no other
way.
When two persons marry and set up
housekeeping their first thought should
be about providing the space and the
place for the children. This is fathers
duty as we'll as mothers. 1t isn't fair
to leave the mother with q couple of
active children on her hands and no
place for them to play, which means
very close to having no place to grow.
Apartment house builders are hope
less. They collect rents. That alone Is
their business and their chief concern.
Suburban DEVELOPMENTS are little bet
ter. Nobody wants children messing up
the lawns, killing young trees. making
scars on the young grass with their
kattlef1elds and running tracks, their
dugouts and what-nots Lawns and gar
dens are legitimate part of the scheme
Of living for grownups. and they look
to them sharply. But play places are
essential to the moral and physical
growth Of children and few are they
who attend to them.
What want to see done is something
like this: Let the young mothers plan
real estate development Of their own;
have it so planned that the children
have play spaces and walks and courts
and all other required conveniences for
active living reserved for them. Make
such arrangements an integral part Of
the scheme of living. Safe play places
for all ages-shade and water and COM
Portable surroundings. Schools so plac-
ed and all play places so placed that no
need of crossing motor roadway arises.
One such place is now a-building. Why
cannot the mothers clubs make safe
play places the motive Of years work?
Maybe the children's development
would result. Not such bad invest
ment Of time or money, either.

motion picture directors

A GIRL with lovely skin, petal smooth, has

knows that she wins hearts wherever she goes.
Hollywood has found that it is only the girl
with exquisite skin whose charm really wins
and holds the great public.
AS Lewis Milestone, Paramount director,
puts it: Smooth, exquisite skin is more capti-
waiting than anything else about a girl. A
screen star especially must have perfect skin
for the cleverest makeup can't fake it under
the fierce lights of the closeup.

goes on to say, though they differ widely in
type, all have this essential beauty Of marvel

Lur Toilet Soap
When the popular closeup is being taken, the
glare from the new incandescent "sun-spot''
lights streams down on the screen star, and any
defect in her skin would inevitably be registered
on the highly sensitized film.
This is why of the 451 important Hollywood
actresses, including all stars, 442 are devoted
to Lux Toilet Soap. They have found that this
delicately fragrant white soap gives their skin
the satin-smoothness necessary for the closeup.
In fact, so delighted are they with this soap
that it has been made the official soap in the
dressing rooms of all the great film studios.
You will be charmed with Lux Toilet Soap,
too. Try it-today. Remember: nine out of
ten screen stars use it for smooth skin.
