POLICE RESCUE
 NARROWED BOYS
Father Aids in Carrying Sons to Safety From
 ''Island"

Three brothers playing narooned on an island in their small hut on an islet in the Naugatuck river al- most made the imaginary real last night. At least, 1t was a close call between @ night out and the rescue.
 When the Vitone boys, Joseph, II, John. g, and Marcus, 6, failed to re- turn to their home at 2 Huntingdon place, for supper their father, Ben- jarnin started to look for them. With Motor Patrolman Alfred Over ton, the father located the trio on the speck of an island, the Nauga- tuck river water forming a barrier against their return to the "maln- land"
 A call to the police and fire de- uartments resulted in arrival of an auxiliary engine with 8 flood light and police. In the meantime. how ever. Officer Overton and the father had braved the 12-foot gap of water and had carried the lads to safety.
 Seems the trio had been able to climb across the island on ashes and refuse piled in the rear of the A. H. Wells co. plant on East Aurora street Then the warm weather thawed the bridge" to their "de- sert island" and they were maroon- cd.
 What with spring in the offing, the Vitone elders have placed a ban on further adventures at sea The boys were back home and eating supper by shortly after o'clock.

Your Income Tax
YOUR FEDERAL INCOME TAX
 No. i6 DEDUCTION FOR HAD DEBTS


 Bad debts constitute e consider. able item in the returns of many taxpayers and may be treated in one of two ways -- either by do. duction from gross income In re- speet to debts aseertained to be worthless either in whole or in part, or by c deduction of c reasonable addition to c reserve for bad debts Taxpayers were given an option for 1921 to select either of the two methods. The method used in the return for 1921 must be used in returns for subsequent years unless permission !s granted by the Com- missioner Of Internal Revenue to change to the other method. Aps plication to change must be made ct least 90 days prior to tho close of . taxable year for which the change is to De effective. However, taxpayer filing c first return m 1888 may select either of the two methods, subject to the approval Of the commissioner upon eXamina- ton of tho return. Permission to adopt tho reserve method is limited to taxpayers having . large mum. ber Of accounts where credit is exs tended over . considerable period Of time. It is not granted for the purpose of handling one specific debt.
 What constitutes c ''reasonable addition" to 6 reserve for bad debts must be determined in the light of the facts, and will vary as between classes of business and with con- ditions of business prosperity. It will depend primarily upon the total amount Of debts outstanding as of tho close Of the taxable year, those arising currently as well as those arising in prior taxable years, and the total amount Of the existing reserve. Tn case subsequent res alizations upon outstanding debts prove to Do more or less than este mated ct tho time Of the creation Of the existing reserve, the amount of the excess or inadequacy in the existing reserve, should Do reflected in the determination of tho reasons able addition necessary in the tax able year. A taxpayer using the rc. serve method should show in hii return the volume Of charge sales (or other business transactions) foi tho year, and the percentage of tht reserve to such amount, tho total amount of notes and accounts 70. ceivable ct the beginning and end Of the taxable year and the total amount of the debts ascertained tt be worthless and charged againsl the reserve during the taxable year

New York, Feb. 2i.-(UP)-An inc vestigation of the federal judiciary in this area has been extended to the affairs of Judge Edwin 6. Thomas of Connecticut, whose bank accounts have been examined by department of justice agents, it was disclosed to- day.
 Thomas had appeared before c grand jury studying the conduct of Martin T. Manton, who resigned from the United States second court of appeals recently after his bulsi- ness dealings had been disclosed. It had been understood that Judge Thomas had been questioned about cases that went from his court to Mantons appellate court, and that his only connection with the case was that Of c witness. Tn . petition argued in Judge John c. Knox's fed. oral court, however, Thomas' counsel, Leon Leighton, former assistant United states attorney, said that Thomas own affairs were being In. yestigated.

Rabies! No Necessity of One Dying From Bite
 of Mad Dog.

The recent increase in the num- Der of mad dogs in various lo- calities has led Dr. Donald B. Armstrong, third vice-president of the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company, to come forth with the reassuring statement that no per- son need die from tho rabies if prompt and proper measures are taken to protect the victim of Q dogs bite.
 As 6 precautionary measure, the first thing to do after 0 person is bitten, pr. Armstrong says, is to have the wound cleaned and cauterized by e physician who will use Q strong solution of nitric acid. If 1t Is known at the time that the dog is rabid, the Pasteur treatment should be given ct once, Where doubt of the dogs condi- ton exists, the animal should be segregated for from 10 to i4 days. If no symptoms of rabies appear during that period; the dog is free of the disease, and no i'll. effects will follow the bite beyond the usual danger of infection common to oil wounds. If the dog escapes, so that 1t is impossible to determine the dogs condition, or If tho dog is examined and found to have rabies, the Pasteur treatment should be given with out delay.
 The Pastetr treatment prevents tho development of the disease in tho great majority of cases If 1t Is started soon enough after in- fection and If continued long enough to give adequate protec- ton. It b of no value, however, after the symptoms of rabies have actually appeared.

 La Grange, O., Feb. 21-The driest humor of the year was revealed by the joke that this village of 486 peo- pie played on itself at an election.
 As result of campaign by dry forces to "close up the town," La Grange suddenly finds itself with 3.2 beer illegal, and the door open for anything from 6 per cent beer up to liquid lightning.
 Dry forces, completely surprised and bitterly disappointed" are add ing it all up this way:
 A local option election last No- vember was won by the drys, but after the votes had been counted, it was discovered that the proposi- ton on which they had voted ap- piled only to 3.2 beer. So 3.2 beer was out.
