Income

Business property kept in repair may
be the subject of a depreciation allow
ance. The allowance for depreciation
is intended to cover the estimated
lessening in value Of the original prop
erty, due to wear and, tear, decay, ETC.,
which in time will require the abandon
ment or replacement of the property,
IN spite Of ordinary current repairs.
The cost Of incidental repairs, which
neither materially add to the value of
the property nor appreciably prolong
its life, may be deducted as a business
expense, provided the plant or prop
erty account is not increased by the
amount of such expenditures.
If, however, the repairs are of such
kind as to make good the deprecia-
ton, for example, new floor or q new
roof, the cost is not deductible. The
amount expended by taxpayer during
the taxable year for improvements, re-
placements, or renewals of a perma-
nent nature is a capital expenditure,
and may not be deducted from the
gross income for such taxable year.
The amount so expended should be
charged directly to the property ac-
count or to depreciation reserve ac-
count, according to how depreciation
Is treated in the taxpayers books of
account. A prorate portion thereof
may be deducted as depreciation each
year OF the life of such Improvement.

New Financing.

From the standpoint Of new financing
bond issues have had the call on the
market and have run far In advance Of
This is the reverse of the condition pre-.
vailing year ago. The discrepancy is
mainly due to the absence Of common
stocks Of finance companies, which in
the period between July and October
mounted much above any other form
OF new security Offering. There Is no
doubt that If the rise in common stocks
continues there will again be Z promo
ton Of junior security financing TO at
tract the public, while the institutions
continue to absorb the mortgage issues
that carry high ratings.

 You're attrbuting superhuman control to the lady," he drawled, but I'll take your word for it. And. after all, you're here with Lii. You can take better care of her ill this affair than l can. So I'll catch the bus"
 And I'll hurry over to Cos grove's," I said, 50 I can tell yo,, the conditions there before you go." . You bully little scout" he sad approvingly. Shall I take you to the gate? [ don't want to get any nearer than that.
 What nonsense" I exclaimed. Please remember that I a.n not exactly a sheltered preparatory school girl. Find Lii and tell her what you've just told me-that if she needs you you'll go over there, or anywhere else. She doesn't need you. but she'll love your telling her just the same.'
 I turned and ran down the steps without waiting for his reply. But I heard his voice in his favorite ex- pletive, "Well, I'll be fried in oil." Then there came the sound of closing door and I hoped that he had followed my advice.

 l had no thoughts for him, how ever, as l entered the well-remem- bered Cosgrove house, illumined in the lower story, but which had only two lights beaming from the second floor, one from the central hall and one through the drawn curtains of the room which l knew must be Robert SaVarln's. All my attention vas focused upon that up- per room. in which the man who had loved Lillian so royalty was fast fading out of life. How would he take the news that his adored and lest lady, whom he had thought ne would never see again, was almost within calling distance? Or had that anguiShed letter of farewell been in spired by the secret, perhaps wholly unconscious hope, that Lillian would read the wild ycarning to see her which must lie beneath his ap- parently resigned acceptance of the fact that she could not come Q him? Was he even now wondering whether the morrow might not bring her to his bedside? 1 was sure that no one could have antjcipatel

 'Tis strange how much you'll often Dependent on a change of mind.
 -Old Mother Nature
 Chatterer the Red Squirrel thinks himself very smart. He wants other people to think him very smart. It upset him a whole lot to be unable to find out where White foot the Wood Mouse was living. He wouldn't admit that Whitefoot was smart enough to keep his home 9. secret from them. So he spent more time hunting for Whitefoot's home than any one knew of.
 One day he happened to be polk ing around in the bushes on the edge of the Green Forest. in the hope that he might find a hazel nu: or two hidden under the dead leaves. Finally, he looked up an there over his head was big wasps' ncst-a great. gray glob?. Chatterer knew what it waa et once. He has seen wasps nests De- fore. He knew all about the ho'- tempered little people that bulIt them. He knew that in winter there was nothing to fear from them.
 "I'll believe I'll climb up there and have a look at that nest" said Chatterer to himself. "Td like to see what it is like inside. There is nothing to be afraid of now. If any wasps stayed Tn that nest all winter they are either dead by this time or asleep. and I had just as soon have two or three to eat"
 So Chatterer start d to climb up 10 the nest. But he had hardly left the ground when another thought came to him and he stopped 60 consider it. "It is pretty warm to- day. thought he, "and some insects get to stirring around on a warm Gay like this. l wouldn't like to find 2 wasp that had come to life. They certainly can sting. Yes, sir, they certainly can sting. One stung me once and I don't want to be sturg pSthiil' VI Soui lHtl ilIdS iioe 'S any wasps in there. I don't suppose there arc. It is better to play sate than 10 be sorry, however. We shall have some more cold days yet and a cold day is the kind of day to poke around in a Wasps' nest. I'll wait for cold day"
 So Chatterer jumped down 10 the ground and once more began poking around under the leaves searching for hazel nuts. He didn't give that nest another thought. He didn't even look up at it. All the time a pair of black, bright eyes were watching Chatterer. They were the eyes of Whitefoot tho Wood Mouse Inside, Whitefoot was chuck ling. For a few minutes, while Chat terer had started 10 climb up m that bush, Whtefoot had thought that his secret surely would be dts covered. But now that Chatterer vas no longer even looking at '''e nest, Whtefoot felt that his secret was still safe.
 "Wouldnt he be surprised,' V thought Whitefcot, ito find out that I am here? He hasn't the least idea tht am watching him. That re-

the snap decision and the swift au- tomobile journey which had brought her from Long Island to the Cata- kills within the same day that had brought his letter to her.
 But when, in answer to my knock, Mrs. Cosgrove opened the door, I was startled to have that usually poised, almost impassiye, woman, grasp mo by the hands, draw me inside the door and ey- cd tones:
 "Oh. I'm so glad you've come. I'm at my wits end about Robert. Eut come into the sitting room, where I can tell you about it."
 l followed her in and she put mo in q chair near the fire. and took orc near me when she had care- fully closed the door.
 Roberts ears are so sharp" she explained, and I wouldn't for the world have him guess that 1 was discussing him.
 How is ne tonight?' I asked go- licitously.
 "NothinS Can Harm Him.
 Comfortable physically" she said. ''Distinctly no worse; he never can be better, you know, poor Rob- ert. But he is so restless tonight. He usually is the most considerate per son in the world, but he has had nle running to his room almost con- stantly since supper, wanting the arrangement altered, his own ap- pearance improved-he has insisted upon being freshly shaved, for n- stance, and he has asked to be put into his best dressing gown. And he is sitting half propped up in bel, watching the door constantly. 1 would think that he had asked Li'- lian to come 10 see him and was cX- pocting her, only that he told me he had written her not to come when he sent her that picture of Marion-wasn't it wonderful?"
 Her face was filled with the tel- der pride which always has been hers in her famous brother.
 There are not words to describe the exquisite beauty I told her. But tell me more Of your brother Will it do him good, or harm. 70 see Lillian tonight, or ought she to wait until morning. She can come over at any minutc.'
 Mrs. Cosgrove's answer Was prompt, and I guessed that her eff cient, orderly mind had been co r. siderinG that problem ever since she had heard that VIC were coming.
 Nothing can do him harm any more" she said soberly. And --i would like her 10 sec him tonight You see, we never know what the next hour may bring-to us,''
