er (of Internal Revenue), for the
purpose of ascertaining the cor
r%ectness of any return or for the
purpose of making a return where
none has been made, is authorized,
by any officer or employee of the
Bureau of Internal Revenue, in
Guiding the field service, designa-
ted by him for that purpose, to
examine any books, papers, rec
ords, or memoranda bearing upon
the matters required to be includ-
ed IN the return, and may require
the attendance of the person rem
dering the return or of any officer
or employee of such person, or
the attendance of any other person
having knowledge in the premises,
and may take his testimony with
reference to the matter required
by law to be included in such re-
turn, with power to administer
oaths to such person or persons"
The Internal Revenue Agent who
visits your office for the purpose of
making an examination of y your

by the foregoing excerpt from the
law to conduct such an examina-
ton, and every courtesy should be
shown to the agent in and during
the examination. The books a n d
records with all data in support

and the Revenue Agent disagree as
to the proposed changes, the law

HOROSCOPE
THURSDAY, JULY IS

After a routine morning it is
wise to push important matters
in the later hours. Merchants
and manufacturers should make
much OF this planetary govern
ment. The urge to achieve
should be strong among en-
gineers. builders and mechanical
experts.
Heart and Home: This is
day for routine matters of the
household when the preservation
of foodstuffs should engross at
tention. Informal social enter
tainments are well directed, but
romance will not flourish. Young
men may be preoccupied with
personal plans that do not in
clude marriage. Training camps
will draw many eligible youths
away from towns and cities.
Money should be contributed to
funds for the aid of war VIC
Tins. Careless spending for
amusement should be curtailed.
Business Affairs: Mining Will
be fortunate for those who seek
ores according TO scientific
methods. Little known metals
will be needed in the manufac-
ture of certain products. Chem
lists are to be much encouraged
in research work which will be
OF national interest.
National Issues: Economy in
government viii be advocated
with great empasis as the ma
tional preparedness campaign
proceeds. Finance will be wide
" discussed in view Of interna-
tional chaos affecting banking.
Changes in the administration at
Washington will indicate fore
sight that visions increase OF
the nations influence as a world
power and the added response
bilities toward a Europe in dis
tress.
International Affairs: Because
the world is under the major
rule of a mutation conjunction
which remains in force for many
years the two eonjunctions OF
Jupiter ano Saturn this year
are of supreme significance. The
final conjunction of the two
planets in February. le4l. should
mark the dawning Of period
of international understanding
which viii follow the fall of die
tators.
Persons whose birthdate IL is
have the sugury of a year OF ups
and downs. Sudden changes OF
fortune are indicated. but II will
be unwise 10 desert a tried voca-
ton or business enterprise.
Children born on this day will
be vigorous. optimistic and prse-
teal They may be observant

FORECAST ELECTION

Editor, The Times; l predict
a Democratic victory in Novem-
Der. Those boys know how to
conduct an election. There are
three ways:
/. The American way: which
is TO have all voters on an equal
basis. each trying to select the
candidates who will serve the
whole country best.
?. The 1886 way: which is for
the party in power TO hire every
fifth voter in the country and
thus make it TO his interest TO
keep that party in-regardless.
5. The 1910 way: which is TO
enact a Consumption bill, such
that all of US who still believe
democracy might work, and don't
want to help to build up a war
spirit, will be thrown into prison
for our pains. leaving the New
Dealers a clean field for opera
tions. Streamlined. Wonderful!
Yours truly.
STANLEY T. SHAW.
