Millions in Jewels to Be
Hunted in India.

Nice.-Over sixty years old, Mrs.
Helene Gardner Botha of Nice,
daughter of one of Americas most
colorful soldiers of fortune, Is or
ganizing an expedition to India In
search of treasure valued at mil
lions of dollars.
Mrs. Botha, divorced wife of a
judge in South Africa, is the only
known offspring of Alexander Gard
ner. native of what is now WiscOn-
sin, who served as artillery colonel
under the Maharajah Ranjit Singh
and died in Kashmir in 1877 at
the reputed age of ninety-two, leav-
ing a two-year-old daughter.
Gardner's father was Scottish
surgeon. who fought with Wash
ington and Lafayette.
At his death, Gardner was living
in Srinagar. capital of Kashmir,
and was virtually king of an ex-
tensive territory bestowed upon him
by the maharajah of Kashmir. His
immense fortune, mostly in pre-
cious stones. which he had taken
as tribute, was willed to his daugh-
ter, but disappeared before she was
old enough to claim it, according
TO the story.
Mrs. Botha made a serious, but
vain, effort to find the gems 80
years ago. 1T didn't matter then, "
she said, but now am thinking
Of my children. am sure the
precious stones are still in Kash-
mir.

Study Being Provided
for Conservation Army

WaShington.-Men enrolled in the
civilian conservation corps camps
located in the national parks have
been given exceptional opportunities
for study and recreation during their
leisure hours, Secretary of the In
terror Ickes declares.
Facilities of the national park
service educational branch have
been placed at the disposal of the
emergency conservation workers. In

Highly trained range-naturalists
are employed by the government to
assist visitors in learning about wild
life, geological formations and kim
dred subjects. Many of the parks
have fine museums equipped with
libraries and reading rooms.
The emergency workers are ''alert
to their unusual advantages" and
many special field trips and lee
lures have been arranged at their
request, Ickes said, adding:
"They are keenly interested In
forestry. soil erosion. fire preven-
tion. insect control methods and
other subjects encountered in their
daily work. and every opportunity
will be provided for them to in
crease their knowledge of these SUBJ

Lights of New York RL L STEVENSON

Again, I'm frank to say wouldn't

PA jobless men. They had assem-
bled In West side court to hear the
case of an employment agent who
had collected from them $40 to S12

agents?-on the assurance that they
would be given work. They got
neither the work nor their money
back. The employment agent plead
ed guilty and was fined SO. That
was all the magistrate could do
the law setting limitation on the
punishment of an offense of that ma
ture. True, the agent could have
been tried on 213 other charges
with fines of $50 in each instance.
But the $25 or any part of ii would
not go to the jobless men, most of
whom had given that agent every

and one policeman was injured. But
they knew more about such things
than jobless men and by and by the
gyp agent got into a taxi and es-
capped. And I'm willing to wager
that every policeman that took part
in that combat wished that, for a
minute or so at least, he could for

Officials Have Hopes of
Solving Mystery Soon.

New York.-They say they are 60
| ing to "break" the Lindbergh case
the major crime mystery of the
century, the kidnapping and murder
of the baby son of Col. and Mrs
Charles A. Lindbergh.
Vague rumors adrift about po-
lice headquarters have it that the
solution of the year and q half old
case may come almost any day now.
Twenty picked men of the under
cover squad under the personal di-
rection of Inspector John A. Lyon
are working exclusively on the case
night and day. In addition. the
United States government has its
ace investigator on the job directing
a special staff Of trained men.
Then. there's the New Jersey po-
lice in whose Jurisdiction the shock
ing crime occurred. who have never
relaxed their efforts to run down
the criminal or criminals, TO say
nothing of the thousands of bank
clerks throughout the country who
are still scanning bills that pass
through their hands in the hopes
of spotting one of those in the $50,
600 ransom loot paid by the flying
colonel in an Inflated effort to re-
cover his stolen child, IL say moth
ing of the tens of thousands of po-
lice and detectives on the alert not
only In every American city but at
every civilized spot on the globe
for the shred of evidence that might
point to a solution of the mystery.
Whispered Reports.
Never In history has so much po-
lice work been devoted to a single
crime.
None of those In authority will
discuss the case for publication at
this date and certainly no trained
investigator would risk his reputa-
tion on predictions of the time. man
ner. and place Of any solution that
may be In prospect.
There have been whispered re-
ports here of late, however. that
some of the ransom" bills have been
found and one version has 1t that
the search for the long fugitive kid
naper and his pals, IL he had any,
had been narrowed down TO the
Harlem section of Manhattan. Some
of the bills are reported to have
made their appearance there, the
first of them several weeks ago. An
other of the bills Is reported to
have turned up in a little town
just across the Connecticut line
from New York. Inspector Lyon,
close e-mouthed veteran of the serv-
ic and little given to boasting. has
no hesitancy in saying he is con-
vinced that the case Is going to be
cracked wide open"-just when he
does not say.
Predicts Clean Up.
1--WE are going to break this case"
he said the other day. ''The other
side has been getting the breaks, so
far. but our time Is coming and we
shall eventually solve the case
clean it up. More police work has
been done on the Lindbergh case to
date than any other criminal case
in history, so far as know. But we
are not through yet"

Folks that hang around pent
houses in the city usually are pref
ty lest when they take their dusty
selves to the country. They miss
seeing things from high vantage
points. One day when Henry L.

swell tower on top of hotel in
the country and decided he'd like
his own private observation quar-
ters,-so moved in. There'd' been
very little demand until then for
towers. HIS turned out to be
fine replica of Giralda Tower of
Spain and has enough room for
his wife to have one entire floor
That leaves a floor for him and
one for a lounge and dining room.
I believe. This seems a fairly sem
sible layout for tower dwelling.
The average tower is so congested
with bells and pigeons and narrow
stairways that there's little room
for anything else except maybe one
sofa. The wife, suppose, could
do her snarling from under that.

Information On
Your Income Tax

To be allowed as a deduction
from gross income, bad debt must
have been determined by the tax
payer to be worthless within the
taxable year for which it is claimed
and, where books are Kept. 1t also
must have been charged off with
in the same year. The necessity
for this provision is obvious. II
a debt could be deducted without
the requirement that it be charged
off the taxpayers books, the GER
tainty of its worthlessness would be
open to question. Neither the tax
payer nor the government could
be certain that debt would not
be claimed more than once.
If a bad debt were allowed as a
deduction, without regard to the
year when it became worthless,
such charges could be accumulated
to be deducted in a year Wher
there was a large income. How
ever, a taxpayer, who has erron-
eously charged off debt in a year
after that in which it was deter
mined to be worthless may file an
amended return for the year in
which the debt became worthless
and was not charged off.
The burden is upon the taxpayer
to show that debt claimed as a
deduction was without value dur
ing the taxable year. A statement
should be attached to the return
showing the propriety of any de-
ductions for bad debts. If in the
exercise of sound business judg-
ment taxpayer concludes, after
making every reasonable effort tc
determine whether there is likeli-
hood of recovery, that the debt
is of no value. deduction for such
debt is allowable. Court action as
proof that the debt is worthless is
not essential.
1t is optional with the taxpay-
er, in year prior to that in which
debt becomes wholly worthless
to take deduction for partial loss
if partial worthlessness occurs. Il
it can be shown that upon ma
turity of bond, mortgage, or note
evidencing a debt it will not bt
paid in full, the partial loss is de-
ductible.
