YOUR INCOME
 TAX
No. 10 Limitation on Stock Losses
Certain new provisions are con

Certain new provisions are con- tained in the Revenue Act of 1892 under the above e-mentioned head ing limiting the deduction for loss es sustained on the sale or ex- change of stocks and bonds which are not capital assets-that is, which have not been held for period of more than two years. In accordance with the limitation, such losses may be deducted only against gains from similar trans actions for the year. It is also to be noted that such loss may not be offset against capital gains.
 The aforementioned limitation is in general applicable to both corporations and individuals as well as other taxpayers. By the terms of the statute, however, the lim- itation does not apply to dealers in securities as to stocks and bonds acquired for resale to cus- toners or to banks or trust con- panies incorporated under the laws of the United States or of any State or Territory.
 In defining stocks and bonds" for the purpose of such. limitation the statute specifically excludes therefrom bonds issued by a gov ernment or political subdivision thereof Such exclusion not only includes bonds issued by the Gov ernment of the United States or State or political subdivision thereof but also includes bonds is- sued by a foreign country or for eign municipality It therefore fol- lows that the deduction for losses sustained on the sale or exchange of such bonds is not subject to such limitation.

EDDIE CANTOR TAKES ROLE OF
 BULL-FICHTER
Famous Comedian Has Most Amusing Part in
 Kid from Spain ;


 A bullfighr, Iunny because of it's realism, is the climax of the new Eddie Cantor picture, "The Kid From Spain" showing for the last night tonight at the Capitol Theatre, as this seasons initial presentation of Samuel Goldwyn.
 Tanned, olive skinned faces, dark Latin eyes looking out from sun- bleached sonbreros, the towering rows of aficionados hungrily and eaglerly watching the circular are na, the glittering procession of the matadors and their staffs, picadors and the banderilleros, as the brass band plays the tradi- tional opening march, the salute to the Presidente, the first of the noble animals as he~charges fur iously into the ring, nostrils quiv- ering, snorting, paving the hard packed earth in his fury.
 Cantor As Matador
 Thus does a bullfight begin, with Eddie Cantor as one of the matadors. Goldwyn first decided otherwise. It was to be a Mack

STOCKS ADVANCE
 IN DULL SESSION ON N. Y. CHANCE
Wheat Gains 2 Cents and Silver Futures Spurt-
 Bonds Irregular

NEW YORK, Feb 27-Stocks were engaged in a creeping rally today but the majority of the leaders failed to recover all of yes terdays declines. Caution was the watchword of most traders.
 Activity was the dullest since the first few days of January Total sales for the day were 1,250,- 900 shares. The close was fairly firm, Bonds were irregular
 Wheat came .back nearly 2 cents a bushel and silver futures spurt- ed, although bar metal eased.
 The moderate upturn was attrib- uted largely to technical condi- tions.
 Up fractionally to around q point were United States Steel Montgomery Ward, National Dis tillers, American Smelling and Re- fining, Chrysler Motors, Santa Fe, New York Central, Sears Roebuck, Dupont, and American Commer- cial alcohol.

Sennett comeSy bullfight." Then the idea gradually developed that pop-eyed little Eddie would be much funuier by playing matador seriously than by being funny matador. The decision was finally reached to play the whole scene straight" It was truly a zieg- feldian decision to climax one of the most pretentious musical com edies ever to come out of Holly wood with a scene that depended on unconscious rather than con- scious clowning.
 Bullfighting, as a sport, has more devotees than baseball Its friends, whether in Spain or Mexico or Chile or Cuba or Paraguay, are never mild; they love the matador and his art with a Latin fervency. By making his fullfight authentic, Goodwin added 30,00o,000 or 40,- 100000 people to his audience for The Kid From Spain"
 It is a curious thing that when William Anthony McGuire first started working on the story that in association with Bert Kalmar and Harry Ruby he later developed into The Kid From Spain" it was in vague way related to the career of Sidney Franklin, the Jewish boy from Brooklyn who went to Spain and became one of the worlds greatest bullfighters. This was the role meant for Eddie Cantor.
