, TIPS oN YOUR INCOME TAX
Be Sure to Save Record of Expenses On Which You'll Claim Deductions
The fifth of six short articles outlining the most common er- TOTS of income tax payers.
By NEA Service

By NEA Service
 Maybe it's not too late even now to save records of the things on which you claim expense deduc- tions. When you're making out the tax, save the data on which you base your claim. No end of trouble is caused by failure to itemize the claim in the first place, or to save evidence of the expense later.
 For instance, 8 salesman claims that he uses his auto in his busi- ness, and claims $500 deduction for that. It's not good enough. He must show how he spent the $500; how much for gas, where he trav- eled, how much for repairs, and so on. Travelling expense and enter tainment must be broken down to show what was spent for what, and why.

HOROSCOPE

Adverse aspects rule TODAY.
1t is unfavorable for beginning
anything important. Labor is
under a threatening sign which
encourages unwise leadership.
Heart and Home; Under this
configuration there may be an
inclination toward deception or
even false statements. The
young of the family may be in
clined toward too much inde-
pendence. but the stars seem
to promise that they will be-
comes serious in their aims. The
pursuit Of pleasure by young
and old should be limited. for
astroloEers declare that in the
United States prosperity has en-
couraged selfish interest in
amusement.
Business Affairs. This is not
an suspicious date for any sort
of initiative. The wise will
watch the handwriting on the
wall which now warns that any
diplomatic misstep may be of
serious consequences. since pro-
duction and distribution assure
the maintenance OF the nation
in a period of supreme crisis.
Prosperity will continue and
must be used wisely in provid-
ing adequate preparedness for
any assault or aggression.
National Issues; Congress Is
TO Rave a session of historical
Importance. Members now will
realize that they have the heav-
lest of responsibility in the pre-.
servation Of our great democ-
rscy. The stars indicate much
illness among members and the
rise of strong leaders who be-
long to the group that is serving
first or second terms. Men of
real strength will prove their
true patriotism. The Vice Presi-
dent Is to gam wide acclaim.
International Affairs: Canada

victory of the British Empire.
While her men fight bravely the
