Deductions for business expenses form a large item in the returns of many tax payers and must have cer- tain qualities to be allow ed. Such deduction must be for an expenditure in connection with the main- tenance and operation of the taxpayers business or business properties; it must be an ordinary expense and it must be a necessary ex- pense. In insisting upon the latter qualifications, the Bureau of Internal Reven- ue is upheld by the Board of Tax Appeals and the courts. Ordinary and nec-

OFFICE OF A. J. DIMOND Delegate from Alaska
 (By J. J. ECKLES)
February 22

February 22
 Delegate Dimond and MT. William L. Paul of Juneau, appeared before the Senate Appropriations Committee this morning urging the adoption of an amendment to the Interior Department Appropriation Bill so as tQ grant the sum of $25, 1000 for relief of deStitution among the natives of Alas ka. The Delegate and MT. Paul pointed out to the Committee the pressing and urgent need of this additional appropriation and furnished for the use of the Committee a list of approximately one hun- dred children, nine blind persons and other disabled natives who had no other way of securing adequate relief. While it is too early to say what the action of the Committee will be from the questions asked it would appear that there is a fair chance of having the Senate increase the appro- priation by the amount de- sired.
 The Delegate also request ed an increase of the ap- propriation for the Geolog ical Survey Work in Alas ka. The bill as passed by the House carries $60,000 for this purpose. The Dele gate pointed out the need of making an adequate in- vestigation of the really promising tin prospects in Alaska since the United States imports practically all of the tin used and in case of another World War the supply of tin might be cut off to the great dam- age if not ruin, of many American industries.

ENGAGEMENT

ByMRS.CORNELIUS BEECKMAN
Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
my mother is announcing my
engagement at a small party and
in a few weeks we plan to be
married, but we are not having
a wedding.
Il would like to know if it is
proper to send announcements of
our marriage to our relatives and
close friends, and if so, when?
III"
Yes, when no guests are invited
to the marriage ceremony, or
when only a very few guests are
invited, it is proper Though not
necessary, and convenient, to
send formal announcements of
t h e marriage. Announcements
are not sent to anyone who has
been invited to attend the cere-
mony.
These engraved announcements
should be ordered we'll in ad-
vance, so that they will be all
ready-adressed. st ampe ito

has been performed.

Bookcases or built-in shelves,
whichever we have, should fit into
the scheme of the room. both ar
chitecturally and in a decorative
way. It's needless to say that a fine
Georgian room must have Georg-
ian shelves, and in a modern room
nothing but the most modern
shelves will do. But there are
some matters of choice.
Height and Color
One thing to decide if you're
having shelves built in, is the size.
Another is the color. In most
modern rooms shelves are not very
high, usually four or five feet at
the most, and often they are not
regular in their height or shape.
You can have them attractive,
striking, and really as an architec-
tural attribute if you plan them
well. Or they can be simply hor-
rible, if you let them get into the
class of freaks. In period rooms,
shelves often go to the ceiling.
The woodwork in the room usually
decides the color, though the fur
niture might be the deciding fac
tor. Usually in a pine room the
shelves are pine, just waxed. In a
room with mahogany furniture
and painted woodwork, they may
be either, whichever you think will
look best. In modern room the
shelves can either match the
wooden trim or the furniture. If
they match the trim, they will look
built in, whether they are or not,
and if they match the furniture.
they will look like a piece of furni'
ture. though they may be an in.
tegral part of the room.
Space Saving
If you're having shelves built
in, be sure they are no deeper
than you need, for an extra inch
makes the books slide back anc
look uneven. and also wastes the
space in your room. If your
shelves are too deep, and you
have trouble keeping the books
even, you can tack little wooden
strip in the back, to hold the
books in line, thus saving endless
trouble in fixing them.
Many large bedrooms are cheer
Ter for the addition of books,
so if your books do not seem tc
fit into your living room, and if
you haven't a library or other
room for them, do not resitate to
put them in the bedrooms. It
seems rather a shame to hide
them, but sometimes it is best
Some of the finest old homes

ornaments with arched tops, anc
some houses, Gurston Hall, fol
example, had book closets. The

HOE GdSGS,
Handicapped as they were with
a lack of fresh vegetables and
fruits, poor cooking facilities, and
seasonings, it is surprising that
such variety and flavor could have
resulted. However, on question
ing, you will find that they had
some closely guarded secrets on
cooking.
Herbs from their garden and
spices played an important role.
and since white sugar was a rarity,
molasses and brown sugar acted as
sweetening. The impurities in
these lend a delicious caromel
flavor to the product. Spiced
sugar was often used. Brown
sugar mixed with cinnamon was
often busted over buildings about
