IF | HAD
KNOWN
BY RUTH TAYLOR

This war can only be won ty
the active participation and all
out effort of everyone of Us.
There r nc longer any non
combatants. We are all in it.
Wars are won by all the people,
not by any one group.
We canot afford differing or
disunity among our own people
the thinking in terms Of groups,
the demanding of special privil-
eyes, the constant asking FOR
special favors or concessions.
How can we hold out for pers-
onal advantages when we con-
slider the sacrifices being made
by those who are fighting to keep
the enemy from our shores? Their
lives are laid down for US, and
it is up to us to put aside differ
ences and critical discussion of
each other to get together and
back up our soldiers.
We cannot afford to be separ-
ated. We have seen what seek
ing nations who listened to the
singers of hatreds, of jealousies,
of disunity. Assuredly we shall
all hang separately if we do not
hang together. Thysen learned
it in Germany when the monster
his money had helped create de-
voured him. The French work
ers learned it when the trade I'M
ion movement was dissolved in
France.
There is one paragraph quoted
in many papers today which 7
wish we all had to learn:
"What does that Frenchman-
soldier, workman, politician, or
business man think today? PROP
ably it's something like this /
wish 1 had been less greedy for
myself and more anxious for rly
country; 1 wish I had realized
YOU can't beat off a determined
invader by a quarreling, disunit-
ed people at home; 1 wish l had
been willing to give in on some
Of nv rights to other Frenchmen
instead of giving up all of them
to a foreigner; I wish 1 had real
lied other Frenchmen had rights
too; 1 wish I had known that pat
| riotism is work, not talk; giving
not getting
We must stand together. We
| cannot afford the luxury of stand
ing on our rights. We must
work today for a common aim,
| for the good of al of us if any
Of us is to survive.
we do not want to have to say
eff 1 had known" when it is too
late.

" it should, because for genera
| tions red has symbolized courage
| one thing all the women Of America
have. There are all kinds of reds to
select from-bright red, Fireman'S
red, Stop red and many others-all
are bright and true reds. Then, be-
| cause blue has always been mans
favOrite color, women r wearing
lots and lots of true blue", and
your choice of blue runs all the
way from baby blue, that soft deli
cate pastel blue that is so compli-
mentary, to the ever popular spring
and summer favorite, Navy blue.
For our love Of the Irish We'll proud
ly wear Kelly green, a vivid shade
that is dramatically beautiful with
red or white accessories. And, Of
course, the gorgeous purple shades
can be combined with many cOl0rs
Il eve saw a purple hat with
bright red flowers jauntily perched
on top, and it was lovely. Another
popular color we haven't seen a
great deal of for some time is yell
low-and yellow seems to be the
answer for a truly dainty, feminine
color that she" will like. OF course,
for summer we like the snowy pur-
ity of white for every woman, and
perhaps the old adage that white
is a symbol of peace may have a
special meaning for US all. Besides,
there is nothing so lovely as a frosty
white ensemble on a sultry day.
So If you haven't frightened up
your wardrobe yet-it's high time
you did. Remember, the women
rule the morale of the nation, so
let's give the nation something real
ly gallant and gorgeous to look
upon.

Pulp Mill Waste
Good for Alcohol

WASHINGTON IS enate Re-
publican Leader Charles L. Nc
Nary. of Oregon, asserted today
that sufficient alcohol could be
manufactured from waste products
of pulp mills in his state to sup
ply all needs for our Pacific en-
gagements."
In a letter Chairman Donald M
Nelson of the war production
board, McNary said that waste
sulphite liquor "a by-product OF
pulp-now is poured into streams
There are known and practica.
BILE processes for converting these
waste liquors into alcohol for in.
dustrial and military purposes" he
wrote. 1T is well known thai
Sweden has been making alcoho
out of paper mill liquor for years
and l am informed that the paper
mills in Oregon alone could pro-
duce cheaply enough ethyl alcoho
to supply all needs for our Pacific
engagements"
McNary enclosed statistics t.
show that paper mills in th'
Northwest could supply raw mate
rial for 130,00o,000 to 100000, 00t
gallons of industrial alcohol year
He pointed out that part of th'
present sugar shortage can be at
tributed to the use of sugar mo
lasses for conversion into alcohol

Gas Raiioniny to
Hit Week -ends First

WASHINGTON--If it becomes
necessary to ration gasoline, Sum
day afternoon drives into the
country and vacation trips next
summer will be the first to be cur
tailed, war production board off,
Gals said today.
Price Administrator Leon Hem
derson told a press conference
yesterday he has no plan for ra-
tioning gasoline now hat he would
be ready when petroleum day
comes"
Another ray of hope for civil
ians awaiting a threatened ration
ing of fuel for the family car
was the fact that petroleum con-
sumption has dropped as much as
Z to IL per cent since the ration
ing of tires and automobiles be-
gan. That may relieve the pres
sure on oil supplies in some areas.

NUMBER 81


Bad debts constitute a consider
able item in the returns of many
taxpayers and may be treated in
one of two ways-either by deduc-
ton from gross income in respect
to debts assertained to be worth
less either in whole or in part and
charged off. or by a deduction Of
a reasonable addition to a reserve
for bad debts. Taxpayers were
given an option for 1921 to select
either of the two methods. The
method used in the return for
1921 must be used in returns for
subsequent years unless permission
is granted by the commissioner of
internal revenue to change to the
other method. Application to
change must be made at least 80
days prior to the close of the tax
able year for which the change
is to be effective. However, tax
payer filing a first return for
1941 may select either of the two
methods, subject to the approval
of the commissioner upon exam
nation of the return. Permission
TO adopt the reserve method is
limited to taxpayers having a
large number of accounts where
credit is extended over a consid-
ebale period of time. 1t is not
granted for the purpose of ham
ding one specific debt.
What constitutes a reasonable
addition" to a reserve for bad
debts must be determined in the
light of the facts, and will vary
as between classes of business and
with conditions of business pros
perity. 1t will depend primarily
upon the total amount of debts
outstanding as of the close of the
taxable year, those arising cur
rently as well as those arising in
prior taxable years, and the total
amount of the existing reserve. In
case subsequent realizations upon
outstanding debts prove to be
more or less than estimated at
the time of the creation of the
existing reserve, the amount OF
the excess or inadequacy in the
existing reserve should be re.
Elected in the determination of the
reasonable addition necessary in
the taxable year. A taxpayer us.
ing the reserve method should
show in his return the volume Of
charge sales Tor other business
transactions) for the year, and the
percentage of the reserve to such
amount, the total amount of notes
and accounts receivable at the be.
ginning and end of the taxable
year, and the total amount of The
debts ascertained to be WORTHLESS.
and charged against the reserve
during the taxable year.
