 Capital gains and losses are clas- sified as "short-term" Applicable to capital assets held for more than IS months). Such gains and losses are taken into consideration in the percentages shown on the return, based upon the period Of time during which the assets were held.

term capital gains. However, any net short-term capital loss (not in excess of the net income for the taxable year) may be carried over to the succeeding year and applied against the short-term capital gains not already offset by short-term capital losses in such year. The carry-over is restricted to one year
 Tn the case of net long-term capital gain or loss, an alternative tax is imposed with respect to a gain if such tax is less than the normal tax and surtax on net in- come, and in the event of loss, such alternative tax is imposed If greater than the normal tax and surtax on net income
 Where 2 taxpayer derives net long-term capital gain and com putes his tax under section IF Co d, relating to alternative tax es, the base for determining the 15 percent limitation on the chari- table contributions deduction pro- vided by section g (o) and the earned income credit provided by section 25 (a) (3) is met income" "
 Where a taxpayer sustains net long-term capital loss and com putes his tax under section TIT Co (2), the base for determining the charitable contributions deduc- ton is ordinary net income, that is met income plus the amount of the net long-term capital loss, and the base for determining the earned income credit is ordinary net income" as adjusted for the charitable contributions deduction.

Most people regard the Adirondack
type of lawn chair as easy to build
good to look at but terrible to sit in.
Even with the addition of cushions
this last characteristic is true of
many designs, particularly those
which sell for under IS. Since the
human body is not wedge shaped
and legs are not knife-reSiStant
ordinary comfort demands some
softening of the angular construc-
ton of this useful chair.
In the accompanying illustration a
more comfortable design is shown
in which the seat of the chair has
a definite height, length and shape
calculated to suit most adults. The
addition of seat and back cushions
will adjust this average size to a
smaller person or. if desired, the
chair can be built on a smaller
scale.
Changing scale. incidentally, is 4
fairly simple process of multiplying
each given dimension by the deci-
nal equivalent of the size desired.
To reduce the scale of the chair
shown by quarter, multiply each
dimension by rs.
Standard Stock Used.
All of the stock used in the chair
is the standard 1-inch thick lumber

and follow the curves forward to
the front apron. Sharp edges are
planed and sanded smooth.
The patterns for the arms and
slanting legs are developed on a
sheet of wrapping paper by enlarg-
ing the squares in the detail
sketches to inches each and filling
in the lines of the parts. Transfer
to the wood with carbon paper and
thereafter use the wood form as a
pattern for duplicating similar
pieces.
A bandsaw or a jigsaw capable of
handling this thickness of wood
will speed up the saving of these
parts, but don't be afraid Of tackling
the job with an ordinary hand scroll
saw.
The chair design is OF the self
bracing type and takes its rigidity
and strength from well-f1tted and
tightly fastened joints. Inviting
softness in the general appearance
is achieved by rounding all sharp
edges and corners with plane and
sandpaper. Durability and resist
ance to Weathering comes from an
adequate protective coating of paint
renewed each season.
