 The Internal Revenue Code pro- vides for "a reasonable allowance for the exhaustion, wear and tear of property used in the trade or business. including reasonable all lowance for obsolescence.' For con- venience, such allowance usually is referred to as depreciation.
 In claiming deduction for de- preciation several fundamental principles must be observed. The deduction must be confined to property actually used in trade business, or profession. and to i'm proyements on real property, other than property used by the taxpayer as his personal residence In gen. eral. it applies to the taxpayers capital assets-buildings, machin- cry, etc.--the most of which can-' not be deducted as business ex-' pense.
 A lawyer, doctor, .or other pro- fessional man may not charge off, as a current expense the cost of a library used wholly in his pros fession, this being a capital ex-' penditure and the library capitall asset; but he may deduct an al-l lowance for depreciation based upon the useful life of the library. If part of a professional mans' residence is used by him for office purposes. a proportionate amount

TWEEN LEIGH STARRED WITH
 R0BT. TAYLOR
Waterloo Bridge" Opens as Sunday Bill al
 Capitol

Waterloo Bridge" Vivien Leigh's second American film, starring her with Robert Taylor, opens Sunday at the Capitol Theatre, to more firmly establish her as one of the screens greatest actresses, while Taylor shares honors with her in the finest role of his career.
 Miss Leigh and Taylor are per- fectly teamed as the romantic lovers in the Robert E. Sherwood drama. As Myra Lester, a petite ballet dancer. Miss Leigh displays more charming, gentler and more sympathetic side of her vivid per sonality than she did in her Aca- demy Award performance of Scar lett OHara It is difficult to be- i've that the same actress could portray two such opposite roles.
 Taylor makes the most of dif- iicult characterization as a young British officer, Capt. Roy Cronin, who meets the little dancer on his- toric Waterloo Bridge during an air raid, winning her heart in a vhirlwind 24-hour romance. One of the demands of his role requires him to age from 25 to 48. giving him new maturity and dignity.
 With its intensely dramatic back ground London of the war years, 1917 and l940, the film offers spec tacular settings with the picturiza- tion of a London blackout, under ground air raid shelters, and troops leaving for the front from Water loo Station. .,4.
