BRITISH CREW TO
 BE MADE HEROES

Boston, March 5.-(UP)-Because they gave up their jobs rather than man a ship carrying nitrates to war-torn Spain, the 2l crew members of the British freighter Linaria will be hailed as heroes at & protest meeting Sunday in his- toric Old South Meeting House. Meanwhile, a new crew has been recruited and, according to the ships agents, will sail the Linaria out of Boston tongiht for Hopewell, Va, where the controversial cargo for Seville, Spain, will be loaded.
 Plans for the protest meeting were made late yesterday with for matoin of 8 Linaria neutrality pro- test committee.
 Given their choice by British Consult General Hugh A. Ford of resigning the ships articles or va eating the ship, the 21 crew mem- bers who had staged weeks "stay-in" strike chose the latter course and removed their possess sioris. They spent the night at Sailors Haven in Charlestown.
 Ford said he would try to ar- range accommodations back to Eng land for the crew members.

AUTOPSY IS MADE
 ON GIRL VICTIM

Charlottesville, Va, March B. (UP) ,--An autopsy report that Cleo Sprouse would have become a
 mother in five months was added today to the state's case against Dr. R. G. Miller, midde-aged dentist charged with murder in the death of the 18-year-old high school girl.
 Commonwealth Attorney w. Q. Fife said the report strengthened the case against Miller. who signed a statement that Miss Sprouse died from an overdose of anesthetic while he was preparing to perform an illegal operation. Fife said he would seek a first degree murder indictment against Miller. He said he was not satisfied with the den- lists contention that the death was accidental. An early trial appeared probable. Dr. Miller scaid he would not oppose the states move to speed the case.

Walking into trouble seems to be the chief thing that the city dweller does, for 67 per cent of all urban motor vehicle fatalities are pedes- trians. M
 In 42 per cent of these deaths the pedestrian is crossing the street at an intersection, which may or may not place the blame on the automo- bile driver. In 10 per cent of the cases, however, the pedestrian is violating an official traffic signal.
 In another 37 per cent of the deaths the pedestrian is also in the wrong, for he is crossing the street elswhere than at an intersection cross-walk-plainly "jaywalking."
 It is hard to convince the aver age person that he shouldn't exer- else his god-given right to go any, where at his own sweet will. Legs. he believes. are given for that pur- pose. After all, he figures, he is pretty nimble and good at dodging.
 So out Peter Pedestrian goes inc to multitudinous hazards of the city streets. And too often he is only Q forlorn bundle of human wreckage when the nearest hospi- tai tries to help him.
 All of which does not in the least minimize the motorists responsi- billty for caution at all times.

Your Income Tax
AUTOMOBILE DEDUCTIONS
No. 26

With the number of automobile owners registering in the millions, the question of deductions for the cost of operation and maintenance of a motor car frequently arises. The purchase price of an automo- bile, whether it is to be used for business or pleasure, cannot be de- ducted from gross income. If used for business, 1t is a capital expendi- ture: if used for pleasure, it .s a personal expenditure-both deduc- tions being expressly prohibited by the income-tax law.
 Several deductions, however, are allowable in connection with the cost of maintenance and operation of an automobile, used either for business or pleasure. If used exclu- sively for business. deductions may be taken for the cost of gasoline, oil repairs, garage rent. and other necessary operation and upkeep ex- penses. Depreciation, based on the cost of the car and it's estimated useful life. also is deductible.
 Other deductible items are as fol- lows: Sums paid during the taxable year for registration fees. drivers licenses. personal property tax. and municipal taxes: interest on money borrowed for the purchase of n motor car. either for business or for pleasure. loss sustained by rea- son of damage while car is being used for bushes. provided such loss is not covered by insurance or otherwise: damages paid for injury to another. provided that the car was being used for business at the time. and the damage vas not cov- cred by insurance or otherwise: and the amount paid for insurance on motor vehicles used for business puFn0Naa.

Old Man Cato was captured in one of the first Punic wars, but later was freed to go back to Rome with the strict understanding that he was to persuade the Romans to declare a Lasting Peace with her ancient enemy, Carthage. But Cato didn't do any such thing, because, for the next 20 years every speech he made in the Roman senate, whether 1t was on the subject of prohibition or tax refunds, Cato al- ways paused and then, with 8 force that awoke even the press galleries, shouted, Carthage defender est"-- Carthage should be destroyed"
 He was laughed at, he was pitied, even cussed. But the thing that made history was, he kept at it.. And Carthage was destroyed-de- stroyed through the force of re- iteration, repetition. The overcom- ing of public apathy is the reward of persistence. And thereby hangs a tale for advertisers and business men in general.
