Steel Output Turns
Upward Following
Repair Period
Production to Climb
Close to Recent
Records in Week
By the Associated Press.


By the Associa ted Press.
NEW YORK, Feb. 25.-Steel mill
production, after interruption at
some plants for repairing and re-
lining of furnaces, is on the up
ward march again.
Outturn this week is expected to
aggregate around 1,554,0O0 tons OF
ingots, compared with 1927, 900 last
week and 1,064 900 year ago.
In two separate weeks this year
output has totaled / 567 900 tons,
the highest for any weekly period
in history.
This weeks production, it will be
noted, is only 1900 tons, or a
stones throw away from the record
marks.
The steel industry. to cope with
both defense and peacetime de-
mands, this year is spending s282,-
000, 900 for new productive equip
ment. At present capacity opera
tions, the industry could turn out
around 84.152,0 900 tons of steel in IL
months. This years additions will
provide productive facilities for an
other 100000 tons annually. AL
ready, further plant expansion to
provide an additional 1000 900 ton
output increase is scheduled for
1942.
While the steel industry has been
meeting customers needs this year
through a voluntary system of or
!. der priorities, with every one ap-
parently satisfied. the Federal Gov
ernment, as a defense precaution-
ary measure, has been making its
own study Of this and other strate-
gic defense industries
Gano Dunn, a member of the
Office of Production Management
staff in Washington, has been pre-
pairing the report at the direct re-
quest of President Roosevelt. With
in the next few days the study is
slated to be put in the Chief EXecu-
tive's hands.
The report, according to usually
well-informed sources. is expected
to determine the official govern
mental attitude on:
l. Whether still additional ex-
pansion of the steel industry is ad-
visable in order TO handle prospec-
tive defense, British and civilian
demands.
q Whether orders can be switched
between steel companies so as to
speed production through specializa-
tion

DEDUCTIONS FOR LOSSES
OTHER THAN FROM SALE OR
EXCHANGE OF CAPITAL
ASSETS.

Deductions for losses are divided
into four classes, and to be allowed
must follow closely the wording of
the income tax law. Losses are de-
ductible If incurred % in the tax
payers trade, business or profess
sion; 20 in any transaction entered
into for profit: 80 from fires,
storms. Shipwreck, or other casual
ties or from theft, and "a from
wagering transactions.
Business losses result, usually.
from the purchase and sale of
merchandise. Such losses usually
are aScertained by means of inven-
tories, which are required whenever
in the opinion of the commissioner
of internal revenue their use is
necessary to determine the income
af any taxpayer.
The term transaction entered
into for profit" means any kind of
business proposition. For example,
taxpayer purchases an automobile
to be used solely for business pur-
poses, and which is sold at loss.
AS this : is a business proposition
from start to finish, the loss is de-
ductible, subject to the limitations
of section lit as amended. But If
he had purchased the automobile to
be used for pleasure or convenience,
the deduction would not be allowed;
it was not transaction entered into
for profit.
A loss sustained in the theft of an
automobile is deductible, as it falls
in class 3. If, because of faulty
driving but not of "willful uegli-
gence,". an automobile maintained
for pleasure is damaged, the tax
payer may claim the loss sustained,
as it comes within the meaning of
the word casualty" Where dam
ages result from the faulty driving
of an automobile with which the
automobile of the taxpayer collides,
the loss occssioned the taxpayer
likewise is deductible.
Losses from wagering transactions.
whether legal or illegal, are deduc-
tible only to the extent of gains
from such transactions. The excess
of such losses over the gains is not
deductible.
All losses are deductible only to
the extent to which they are not
compensated for by insurance or
otherwise.

Sharp Gain Reported
In International
Harvester Net
S23,l61,ll0 for 1910
Contrasts With Only
$7,952,810 in 1889
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, Feb. 25.-Interna-
tional Harvester Co. reported net
income for the fiscal year ending
October 81, 1910, of $23,161, ITO,
equivalent to S4.11 a share of COM
men stock after provision for pre-
ferred dividends.
Because of the spread of war con-
ditions during 1910 the annual re-
port was presented on a non-con-
solidated basis, according to Sydney
G. McAllister, president.
Placed on a comparable basis, net
income for 1889 totaled $685., $40.
The 1910 income of the company,
therefore, reflects the profit rerived
from sales in the United States,
profit on sales to subsidiary COM
panies and the dividends on sub
sidiary companies" McAllister said.
The effect on 1910 profits of the
changeover to a non-consolidated
basis was slight"
Sales in the United States during
1910 rose 33.4 per cent. totaling
S248, ,028, 900. compared with $685.
994, 900 in 1899. Tractor sales in
creased 66 per cent, farm imple-
ments 24.5 per cent, motor trucks
16"1 per cent and a combination Of
all other products including steel
and binder twine rose 35.8 per cent.
Sales to the subsidiary company
operating in Canada increased 800
per cent over 1899, while a drop of
125 per cent occurred in sales TO
subsidiary companies In other for
eign countries. Total sales, both
foreign and domestic, totaled STA
682, 1000 compared with 212,454, 900
In 1889.
Results of the first quarter Of
the present fiscal year have shown
a substantial increase in business
over the corresponding quarter of
the previous year." McAllister
stated.

Eaton Manufacturing Co., manu-
facturers of automobile accessories
and similar gear at Ohio and Michi-

BY PAUL ID. GESNER,

NEW YORK, Feb. 25.-Demand
for shirts, socks, underwear, sheets
and other items by the Government
for the new draft Army, coupled
with brisk orders for apparel cloths
from peacetime sources is bringing a
robust boom in cotton mill activity.
The cotton textile industry cur
rently is reported operating at close
TO the rate Of 1l2 per cent of ca
pacity registered for the month of
January, which many cotton men
believe is the fastest mills have
turned out goods in history.
The January figure compares with
los per cent in December and l03
per cent in January, 1910.
Many close to the industry think
the present high operating rate
may be maintained throughout most
of 194i, for no letup is as yet in
sight in both peacetime and military
demand. Some in the trade esti-
mate cotton consumption this year
may reach 100000 bales, which
would be the largest in history.

1t was at this point that the Presi-

When in any war your enemy
