Ordinarily, the average. taxpayer has no losses in the casualty group that can be deducted. Yet most of us, at some time or other, do get bad breaks that can be reflected in our income tax returns. For you, 1943 may have been such year.
 12. If you had net loss from fire, storm, flood, theft, burgarly, shipwreck or train wreck, beyond what was covered by insurance, you are entitled to claim this as deduction against your taxable in- come. You must be prepared to prove the loss. If theft, did you report it to the police?
 If you were involved in an auto- mobile accident, you may deduct the amount of damage to your own car that was not covered by in- surance. You can not deduct any, thing you may have paid the other party, either for damage to his car or to himself.
 13. All medical, surgical, nurs- ing and dental expenses should be added up-fees paid to surgeons or doctors Or dentists or nurses, whether at home, in their offices or at hospitals; hospital and clinic and laboratory, X-ray and anaes- thetist charges; the cost of dental plates; expenditures for drugs, medicines, bandages, etc.; hospital insurance premiums.
 Include those for your immedi- ate family and also for any per sons who are being claimed as legal dependents for income tax purposes.
 Save this information until you make out your return. At that time you will subtract from it 5 per cent of your net income and if there is balance, you can de- duct that balance. shall bring up the method of computation in later article.
 IA. There are few legal deduc- tions open to most taxpayers

The ex- fled singers have given more than 4,000 concerts since their organiza- tion, as a Chorus in 1926, and have thrilled varied audiences from Lon- donderry to Capetown, from Singa- pore to San Francisco.
 The picturesque Cossacks come to Waterbury in the midst of their fifth American tour following their brilliant introduction to this coun- try at the San Francisco Fair in the spring of 1889. They will visit every state in the union by the end of their long1 tour in the coming spring.
 Lead by the dashing Nicholas Kostrukof the chorus of 27 perfect ly matched voices will offer a pro- gram of traditional Cossack sogns, folk songs, war songs, gypsy songs and the best of the classics. In ad- dition they will present the authen- tic dances of the Cossack regiments national dances and the thrilling CoSsack sword dances.
 The great FeodC- Chaliapin was one of the first musical authorities to sponsor this picturesque band of singers after its inception in the in 1926. There they were organized refugee colony in Czecho- -Slovakia under the patronage of the late be- loved president Thomas Masaryk and took the name of the 18th century Cossack general and musi- clan.
