majority Of the members against it. A
hurried roll call was taken and the de-
benture lost.
Immediately plans were laid to incor-
porate it in the tariff bill. Many men,
bers of the House insisted 1t rightfully
belonged there.
President Hoover objected to the de-
benture. The House, controlled by lad
ministration" Republicans and rule
from the rules committee providing that
no amendment be offered from the
floor, kept it out of the tariff bill writ
ten in that branch.
In the Senate, however, the Pro-
greSsive Democratic coalition had
wrested the balance of power from ad-
ministration leaders. They succeeded
by three record votes, in writing the de-
benture into the Senate draft.
Coalitions Position.
If the coalition retains its strength,
there is a probability Senate confereeS
will be instructed to stand by the de-
benture and for second time demand
a record vote in the House if House
confereeS fail to acquieSce.
1t is yet to be decided whether the
coalition will set aside the usual man.
ner Of selecting Senate conferees and
name, instead, conferees from its own
members. Usually three ranking Re-
publicans of the finance committee and
the two ranking Democrats are chosen.

The sharp rise in power and light is

late in the session after holding COM
panies. radios, oils, natural gas shares
and aviation shares had displayed a
burst of speed.
Consolidated Aircraft and Douglas
Aircraft, both of which reported gains
in 1929 earnings, led the aviation manu-
featuring companies to higher levels.
Later they were followed by Fokker and
Niles Bement Pond, and then by Ma
tional Aviation and North American
Aviation. The last two are holding
companies.
Food stocks again were somewhat
lower. Several sizable blocks of Gen.
eral Baking came out at fractionally
lower prices. Pacific Coast Biscuit pre-
ferred moved against the general trend

ELECTRICITY CHEAPER
THAN TEN YEARS AGO

Increased domestic consumption of
electrical energy during 1929 was at
tended by an average decrease in the
cost per unit, according to a statement
issued by the statistical research de-
partment of the National Electric Light
Association.
In 1918, according to this statement
the average household in the United
States used 272 kilowatt hours per year.
for which it paid 8.3 cents per kilowatt
hour. BY 1924 this average household
was using 378 kilowatt hours, and in
1928 this had increased to 459 kilowatt
hours, but by this time was only paying
a rate of SIS cents per kilowatt hour.
This reduction in rates was accom-
plished in spite of the fact that the cost
OF living and the cost of all items en-
terins into the construction and oper-
alton of utility service had steadily in
creased during the same 10-year period.
In 1929 the average American home
used more than 500 kilowatt hours and
paid an average price of 81 cents per
kilowatt hour

The mantle of politics closing around
the tariff bill indicates that House of
Representatives conferees probably will
shoulder responsibility for the export
debenture when the tax measure goes
to conference.
Necessarily three Republicans and
two Democrats, the confereeS are ex-
pected to be Representatives Hawley
Oregon; Treadway, Massachusetts,, and
Bacharach, New Jersey, Republicans,
with Garner, Texas, and Collier of Mis-
sissippi, the Democrats.
Circumstances pointing to their i'm
pending battle revolve around the ques-
ton of whether the House desires a
record vote on the debenture.
Hoover Opposed Debenture.
If it does. there is a probability the
conferees will be instructed on the posi-
ton they are to take when they meet
the Senate group. If it does not, the
conferees must decide for themselves
whether to accept the export debenture
or demand it be stricken from the bill
The House sought to escape a record
vote during the effort to include the
debenture in the farm relief bill. Its
conferees were not instructed, but they
elected to stand in opposition to 1t.
The Senate refused to surrender the

The cost of capital assets, such as

taxpayer need not have parted perma-
nently with the property in order to
claim loss. But if use of property
was abandoned because of depreciation
or obsolescence, the taxpayer must
have parted permanently with it if a
loss Is claimed.
Loss due to the voluntary removal
or demolition of old buildings, the
scrapping of old machinery, equipment,
etc, due to renewals or requirements
is deductible. But if a taxpayer buys
as the site of new building, land upon
which an old building is located,
demolition of the old building is not
considered loss and therefore is not
deductihle The value of the real estate
exclusive of the old improvements, is
presumed to be equal to the purchase
price of the land and building plus the
cost Of removing the useless building.

TEA-TABLE
CHATTER

Tight overrought nerves can
do more damage to q Woman'S
face than any other influence
except il1-health. Nervousness,
unless 1t is the result Of
disease, can be controlled. BY
hygienic habits and by training,
the mind can cast aside petty
worries. The nervous woman
needs eight hours of sleep,
every night. She needs more
than anything else to avoid too
much human contact. Cabling
and chatting wear down nerve
forces. The quiet life is a re-
storative.
Mouth breathing is baG busi-
ness. When the air is drawn
through !. the nostrils it is
warmed and foreign particles
are Sifted out Of it.. Mouth
breathing during sleep dries
the tongue, irritates the throat
and sometimes produces an Of
fensive breath. II it is caused
by distractions in the nos
trils the afflicted one should
have medical attention. Mouth
breathers have lungs that are
air-Starved and their complex
ions take on pallor.
