Act Of 1910
BY CHRIES S, LOWRIMORE
PERSONAL INJURY OR

S. LOWRIMORE
C.. p. A.

Monies received from an insur-
or as a result of an accident, physi-
cal injury, kickness or hospitaliza-
o are exempted as income by
the Internal Revenue Code a n d
should not be reported on the in.
come tax return, this includes ac-
cldent or health policies, workmens
compensation insurance, judge
ments for damages, and settlement
or compromise agreements which
are a direct result of injury to the
taxpayer.
Personal injuries which are not
in fact of a physical nature, such
as the alienation of a wife's af-
.fectlons, libel or injury to the per-
sonal reputation, but which may
produce income in the form of
damages are exempted from in
come taxation by the Internal
enue Code, according to the pre-.
vailing rule. Damages for the
breach Of a contract to marry
does not constitute taxable income.
A court has held that damages re-
celved as a result of injury to
business reputation are not taxable
income under the Federal Income
Tax laws.
Damages received because of in
jury or destruction in part to prop
erty, or breach of contract, which
in fact represents nothing more
than compensation for the loss in
value of the asset so injured or
partially destroyed, does not re-
suit in taxable income to the re-
cipient.
Monies that are paid to a tax
payer in the form of damages,
which in fact are a reimbursement
for anticipated profits or benefits
is taxable income and should be
included in the gross income of the
taxpayer.
Special provisions are made
where monies are received as an
award in a condemnation proceed
ing. or an involuntary conversion
of property in the case of the pow
er of requisition, and or the de-
struction of property because OF
fire or other hazards, in which no
gain or loss is recognized. How
ever, for the taxpayer to benefit
from these statutory exceptions the
rules as stated in the Internal. Rev
nue. Code must be closely fol-
lowed.

EXCHANGE

NEW YORK, Aug. 14.-R-The
free British pound advanced two
cents today to $4.02 IL, highest
price of the year.
During the year British finan'
cial authorities took steps to elm
mate the free market in sterling
and establish the price at an Of.
fetal basis set by the bank Of Eng
land.
The rise carried the free price
up to the official selling rate, that
banking quarters had forecast in
view of the steadily dwindling sup
ply of free currency.
The Canadian dollar rose 1-16 to
Sc SO U. S. cents. Other major
free rates were unchanged in re-
lation to the 1ollar.

case yesterday, whea' prices to-
day dipped fractionally and then
held at a level only slightly above
the seasons lows, which stand as
the lowest quotations posted here
in almost a year.
Selling was on a modest scale,
coming from hedgers rejecting in
creased movement of new spring
wheat, spreaders and interests af-
fected by apprehension over tn e
war and the North American sur
plus problem. These sales were
partially offset by buying inspired
by the better tone of securities as

favorable for harvesting, and ac-
cording to a survey by Cargill,
Inc, due to splendid filling condi-
tons an increase in yields in North
Dakota, particularly in late fields
along the northern border, is pos
sible. This may be true also IN
parts of Montana and northern

prospects materialize, Canada and
the United States will have more
than 1900, OOO, 900 bushels for the
current season, by far the largest
on record, at a time when world
trade is curtailed by the war. This
would include close to 600, 600, 0oo
bushels of old wheat, stocks OF
which are about equally divided
between the two countries. Domes.
