[AX DEDUCTIONS
| SCOPE IS LIMITED
preliminary Analysis of New
/ Levies Disappointing in
Income Circles.
0y the Associated Press.

~ the Associated Press.
The preliminary analysis issued by
the Internal Revenue Bureau yesterday
with regard to income tax payments Of
March is probably was disappointing
10 many who had expected more ex-
emptions.
For one thing, those who had visions
OF being able to reduce the amount of
:. their payments by deducting from their
gross income all of the taxes levied in
the billion dollar tax bill were referred
to the regulations which permit the in
dividual to deduct but few of the minor
taxes.
The only taxes which the individual
} can deduct are those he pays himself,
and the remainder are deductable from
gross income by the manufacturer, the
importer or the person who actually
pays them. Taxes are deductible from
gross income in determining net in
come upon which the tax Is due the
Government.
New Taxes on Individual.
The new taxes which the individual
can deduct are those on electrical en-
ergy. bank checks and drafts, telephone
conversations. telegraph dispatches and
messages, leased wires and talking cir
cults, admission, on leases of safe de-
posit boxes, the tax on motor boats and
club dues.
The individual in some States can
deduct the amount of tax paid on gaso-
= line if the State law levies the tax on
the consumer, but he cannot deduct 1t
if it is levied on the distributor or
manufacturer. The individual also can
deduct other State, city and county
taxes from his gross income
The taxes which an individual can
not deduct are the stamp taxes. and
the manufacturers excise taxes. These
include the tax on tobacco, issues,
sales and transfers of stocks and bonds,
sales of produce and conveyances OF
real estate
The manufacturers taxes levied un-
der the bill are deductible from the
gross income of the manufacturer ex-
cept that where the tax is included as
part OF business expense it cannot be
separately deducted as . tax. These
taxes are those on lubricating oil, brew
ers wort, liquid malt, malt sirup and
malt extract, grape concentrates, ETC. 4;
crude petroleum, gasoline, paraffin,
tires and tubes, toilet preparations, furs,
jewelry, automobiles, motorcycles, etc,
radio receiving sets and phono-
graph records, mechanical refrigerators
sporting goods, firearms, shells and
cartridges, cameras, matches, candy
' chewing gum and soft drinks. An i'm
porter of any of those articles as well
as importers of coal and coke, copper
bearing ores and concentrates and lum-
Der may deduct those taxes from gross
income.
The tax on transportation Of oil by
pipe line is deductible by the carrier
the gift tax deductible by the donor
unless statute provides the donee is
liable for the tax, in which case the
donee may deduct it. The estate tax
Is deductible from gross estates.
The income-tax regulations have not
yet been drawn up by the bureau, but
the list Of the permissive deductions
has been sent to collectors to inform
them what may be deducted by indi-
viduals. manufacturers and other per-
sons interested.

Reindeer Hunt

ESKIMO boys often set deer or reindeer
antlers in the snow beside the coastins
track and shoot at them as they coast by. Bows
and arrows are used for the hunting and as
long as the arrow hits the snow within 6
inches Of the target it is called a hit
Using the bow In Winter time Is cold work,
especially for the hands, but you can enliyen
the coasting track in much the same way by
setting barrel partly submerged in the snow
about 10 feet from the coasting track, and
tossing frozen apples or stones into it. This
will make a dandy contest and no little skill
is required to score a bull's-eye consistently
When the barrel Is placed, it should slope
uphill somewhat, that it viii not be too
difficult to make a hit. The way the apple or
stone Is thrown will depend upon the speed of
your sled, but in any case. you must throw at
an imaginary point some distance up hill from
the barrel in order to get the missile inside
Two opposing teams Of like number OF
sleds and coasters, and each with one missile
apiece. will make an excellent contest. The
stones or apples of side must be OF one
color and those Of the other side another,
so that the greatest number Of hits can be
properly credited to the winning side. You can
also combat one boy to q side or each boy may
have 10 missiles and each compete against the

16 treasure-laden galleons went down ON
the Silver Shoals, and that Phipps found
and salvaged only one of these so there
must be Is left.
EVEN close to our own shores there are
plenty of sunken treasure ships to
keep salvagers busy for years to come.
Perhaps the most famous of these is the
Ward liner Merida, which was sunk in a
collision of the Virginia Capes. The
Merida is popularity credited with having
carried fortune in gold, as well as the
crown jewels of Maximilian. But 1t Is
questionable If she will pay expenses
when, If ever, she is Salvaged, for, ac-
cording to the records of the Ward Line
Ito which had access when a few years
ago I wrote the detailed history of that
company the Merida actually carried
less than half million, including val
uables and the iewelry of passengers.
Finally, for those treasure hunters who
do not care to go far afield, there is a
sunken treasure ship actually within the
limits of New York City. Yes, strange as
it may seem, she lies in shoal water in
prosaic East River close to Randall,s
Island, and within 100 yards Of the shore.
For the story of this local treasure
wreck we must hark back to the days of
the Revolution, when the Hussar, Brit
ish frigate, left New York for Newport,
carrying gold with which to pay off the
British army and navy engaged in fight
ing the Continental forces under Gen.
Washington. But the Hussar never went
far. For while passing up East River and
threading the dangerous water of Hell
Gate she struck rock near Randall's
Island and went down.
As far as is known, no one ever has
recovered a single penny of her precious
cargo, yet up to 1850 her masts-or
rather, their stumps-were buoyed as
menaces to navigation.
To be sure, various attempts have been
made to salvage the Hussar. The first
was in 1918; but the equipment employed
consisted OF oyster-tongs, iron grapples
and crude sort of diving bell. Only
guns, an anchor, bell and other fittings
were secured
Just how much treasure is contained
in the wreck Of the Hussar is rather un-
certain. Rumor and tradition place 1t
anywhere from 100000 to $4,000, 600;
but document in the British Admiralty
Office. which gives detailed account of
the frigate'S loss, states that she carried
but 10000. On the other hand, one his
torian records the following:
Reaching New York from England on
September 13. 1880, came the frigate
Hussar with cargo of large sum of
money in copper, silver and gold coin.
The British forces had not been paid
for a long time and this money was to
still their complaints. Another British
vessel, the Mercury, had also left Eng
land with $4,000 and the conclusion is
that this was transferred to the Hussar."
But even, If the unfortunate frigate
carried but 10000, and part of that in
copper coins, 1t is tempting bait with
no danger of hurricanes to interrupt
operations, no sharks or giant catfish to
attack the divers. And withal so con-
veniently situated that the salvagers may
sleep in their own homes, dine in the
metropolitan restaurants and cafeterias.
patronize their favorite speakeasies,
spend their evenings on Broadway and
devote their remaining hours to lifting
money from sunken British frigate.

accomplished the buccaneers would be
alongside. But there was a chance
rather dangerous chance, yet the only
chance OF escaping his foes-and that
was to sail through the "bocas."
1T was a narrow, crooked, treacherous
channel filled with reefs and shoals.
barely deep or wide enough for the great
ship to pass through. Never, under
ordinary conditions, would he have dared
attempt it. But Capt. Ferara knew the
'boca" channel, and he decided to take
this last chance TO save his ship. Shots
were falling fast about the plate ships
stern; one carried away 10-foot sec
tion of ornate scroll work from the lofty
stern castle, and at any moment a shot
might cripple the vessel

precious stones.
This was accomplished in 1886, when
Capt. William Phipps, who had formed
salvaging syndicate with the King of
England as partner, recovered the
$4,000, 900, and in return for having done
so well and nobly for himself and the
crown he was knighted and made Gov
ernor of Massachusetts,.
Considering that Phipps depended en-
tirely upon native Indian and Negro
divers, who could remain but few min
utes under water. and he possessed no
salvaging equipment, he certainly did
amazingly well. And just as certainly he
salvaged only portion of the treasure
in the sunken galleon. In fact, he missed
fully as much as he recovered, If the
records of the vessels cargo are at all
accurate. at any rate, sizable fortune
is still resting on the bottom where
Phipps did his treasure fishing, and with
modern methods and equipment it should
be fairly easy to get it.
Moreover, it must be remembered that

between wind and water.
Ignorant of what damage he had done,
De Lussan squared away and bore around
the island again. Then he rubbed his
eyes in bewilderment. No drifting, Grip
pied ship awaited him! Once more the
Todos Santos had vanished! But this
time there was nothing mysterious about
her disappearance; her masts, with rent
sails and yards askew, rising like crosses
from the water, told plainly of her tragic
fate.
Instantly Raveneau became trans
formed from buccaneer to lifesaver.
Scores of men were struggling in the
water, others clung to masts, spars and
rigging and floating wreckage.
When the pirates boats had saved the
last man, Sieur Raveneau fell to his
knees and thanked God there had been
no greater loss Of life and requested the
Spanish chaplain, who had been saved,
to offer prayers for the repose Of the
souls of those who had died-for Sieur
