Information On
Your Income Tax

Bad debts constitute a consider
able item in the returns of many
taxpayers and may be treated in
one of two ways either by de-
duction from gross income in re-
spect to debts ascertained to be
worthless either in whole or m part
or by deduction of a reasonable
reserve for bad debts. Taxpayers
were given an option for 1921 to
select either of the two methods.
The method used in the return for
1921 must be used in returns for
subsequent years unless permission
is granted by the commissioner of
internal revenue to change to the
other method. Application to
change must be made at least 80
days prior TO the close of the tax
able year for which the change is
to be effective. However, a tax
payer filing a first return in 1892
may select either of the two meth
eds, subject to the approval of the
commissioner upon examination of
the return. Permission to adopt
the reserve method is limited to
taxpayers having a large number
of accounts where credit is extend
ed over a considerable period of
time. 1t is not granted for the
purpose of handling one specific
debt
What constitutes a reasonable
addition" to a reserve for bad debts
must be determined in light of the
facts, and will vary as between
classes of business and with con-
ditions of business prosperity. A
taxpayer using the reserve method
should show in his return the vol
ume of charge sales (or other
business transactions) for the year,
and the percentage of the reserve
TO such an amount, the total
amount Of notes and accounts re-
ceiVaple at the beginning and end
Of the taxable year, and the total
amount of the debts ascertained
to be worthless and charged against
the reserve during the taxable
year.

MEN To CLASH
BY JACK CUDDY

NEW YORK, March s. : The
big question of the national indoor
tennis championships, starting Sat
urday, is whether Clifford Sutter
can wrest the title from Gregory
Mangin on the hardwood floor of
the seventh armory, should they
meet in the singles final.
Suffer, the New Orleans star
whose brilliant 1882 outdoor cam
paign boosted him to No. 3 in ma
tional rankings, defeated Mangin
last week in four sets for the Ber-
muda singles title. But that en-
counter was fought on an outdoor
court, and the diminutive Newark
player is a master on the wood
floor. s~!
Mangin told the United Press he
thought Sutter would be compet-
ing under a handicap at the arm
DRY because he has had little prac-
tice indoors this season.
You see, he explained. "the
ball bounces much lower but two
or three times as fast off WOOD
floor. This forces player to take
all shots on the rise. There can be
no waiting
Because of this handicap, Man.
gin believed his strongest competi-
tion would come from Francis x
Shields of New York, from whom
he won the title last year; Sidne!
