Income Reports.
HOW Much Are
They Worth?

Reported net earnings are moi
always what they seem, according
to the current issue Of the Fl
nancial World.
Otherwise, the financial maya
zine says, how explain the fact
that despite Reynolds Metals
1892 deficit after dividend pay
ments last year, the company
nevertheless paid a $3,56S tax or
undistributed earnings?" The
publication adds:
Bearing in mind that the
maximum surplus earnings tax
Is 27 per cent of the undistrib-
uted adjusted net income, Gen.
eral Electric had q 100000
provision for surtax-mOre than
30 per cent of the company's
$981,145 surplus after dividend
payments. And Sears, Roe.
buck set aside $575,OOO for sur.
tax-which compares with un-
distributed earnings Of only
$75O,000.
obviously, actual earning
pOwer-at least according to
the accounting standards set
up by the tax bureau-fre-
quentIy is materially larger
than published statements
would indicate. With respect
to Sears, ROebuck, for instance,
it can be figured that taxable
profits were about $37 million

ARMY TESTING
NEW TYPE OF
BATTLE PLANE
By ROBERT G. NIXON
(CopyriSht, 1887. by King Features
Syndicate. Inc.)

Secret experiments with a revo
lutionary new type "all-purpose'
fighting plane are being conducted
by the Army Air Corps, it was
learned today in high Army
circles.
The new experimental ship, II
was disclosed, is far in advance Of
anything possessed at present BY
other major powers.
Its development has resulted
from the recent startling advances
in bombing planes and it is de
signed for offensive use against
high-speed bombers, and also tC
protect them against attack.
Heavily Armed
In addition, it was disclosed the
ship will have more armament
than the present pursuit ships
and will combine the fighting
characteristics of the pursuit ship
with the light bombing and
ground strafing features Of the
attack ship.
The Army's new four-engined
Flying fortress" bomber, with its
250-mile-an-hour speed and ma
chine gun equipment firing in
every direction, has become so
fast and so well armed it is con
sidered well night invulnerable
against effective attack.
This new development in
bombers is conceded by military
experts to have wiped out the
vast superiority formerly held by
pursuit craft over the numbering,
slow bombers of the recent past,
Speed is Secret
These bombers, while not nearly
so maneuverable, are faster than
the present 225-mile pursuit and
attack craft. But with their high
speed and rotary machine guns
firing from a forward position,
from the belly of the fuselage and
from both SIDES OF the ship, the
bombers make up in offensive
power this loss of maneuverability.
Pursuit ships have only fixed guns
firing forward.
While the speed Of the new
"an-purpose" fighter is a closely
guarded military secret, it is said
to approximate or exceed that of
the flying fortress" Instead of
having a single pilot it will carry
a pilot to fly the ship and handle
the forward fixed guns and a
gunner in the rear cockpit to fight
off attack in that direction.
Its cruising radius is said to
exceed by far the pursuit ship and
to carry several hundred pounds
of 25-pound augmentation bombs
for strafing ground troops, supply
and ammunition dumps and anti.
aircraft battery crews.

HOME GROCERY

 POLICY APRIL 1
Owners Are Enlarging Will loughby Avenue Store to
 Twice Its Present Size

With work already underway to enlarge the Home Grocery to twice its present size, to build an addi- tional warehouse and a liquor store, John Hermle and Joe Thibodeau, owners, announce as change of policy in the management of the store that it will go on cash basis tomorrow, April l.
 Already enlarged and remodeled cnce since it was taken over by it's present owners, two years ago, the new Home Grocery, which will be completed in about two months, will offer a larger and more complete stock of goods to it's patrons and the same service that has enabled them to build up their present pat ronage.
 The Home Grocery's liquor store which will adjoin it's present build ing at the corner of Willoughby Avenue and E Street, will be one of the finest in Juneau, MT. Hermle said today, and will carry one of the most complete stocks of liquor.
 We want to thank the public for the support that has made pos sible the enlargement of our busi- ness" said MT. Hernle. We are out of the high rent district, we own our own building and do our own work. When we go on cash basis, we believe that we will be
