Looks as II they may even have
to try going home!
If Maestro Arturo Toscanini ever
walks into the Carlton and asks
Leader Hal Lansberry to loan him
his baton for few minutes, at least
there would be one gentleman in
the band who would feel right at
home.
Louis Garzia seems to have a way
on the trumpet that pleases Benny
Goodman, the Dorsey brothers,
Andre Kostelanetz, Frank Black,
even Maestro Toscanini himself. At
one time or another Louis took cues
from all these gentlemen. He liked
1t fine, except, probably, working
under the famed Italian baton
stormer.
1T was too much of a nerve strain
playing under some one like Tos-
canini every day." Louis confessed.
"One rehearsal with the NBC SYM
phony and you needed week to
|recuperate."
Louis was born with band blood
in his veins. In fact, he first
organized his own outfit as a school
kid in his native San Juan, Puerto
Rico. Since then the trumpet
player has had three different bands
of his own. In 1888 he started one
of the very first -rumba outfits in
the country. In 1894 he organized
a band along with Joe Venutti. In
one spot where this band played
Louis became very fond of a pretty
little girl who sold cigarettes. Her
name was Dorothy Lamour and
not long after that she went to
Hollywood.
That's one thing about this busi-

back and remember all the people
you knew when Take the time I

A pianist and composer In her own
right, Greta was born In Rotterdam
and grew up in an atmosphere of
good music. Her mother was a
pianist and her father played cornet
In the symphony orchestra. Strange
part OF 1t was that until few years
ago Greta never actually read mu-
sic; she played everything by ear.
Finally musician friend Of the
family insisted something be done

conservatory.

Greta said, "and found myself in

Maybe blond-haired Greta dis
tracted the little boys too much from
their scale practicing, because 1t
wasn't long until she graduated into
the orchestration class. We sure
feel sorry for any one in orchestra

with Greta around.

TAX DEDUCTION
ADVICE ISSUED

Two pieces of cautionary advice
about income tax deductions were
issued to local taxpayers yester-
day by the office of Raymond D.
Christman, chief zone deputy of
the Internal Revenue bureau.
The first warning was aimed at
the man or woman who has heard
about the Bureaus Form W., to
file which requires nearly no work
whatever, since it consists in eff
feet of a receipt for withholding
taxes already collected.
To salaried workers who have
paid out heavily through the year
on medical services, losses, ali
mony and other deductible ex-
penses, it was pointed out W.
can be a trap as easily as it can
be boon to others. 1t allows only
a 10-per cent automatic deduction.
Form 1040, last years short form"
and this years only fill-out type
return blank, allows legitimate de-
auctions to mount without limit.
Taxpayers in any doubt as to whe
Their or not their deductions may
run over l per cent are advised to
apply for the form and try a COM
parison.
At war workers who do this,
the second caution is aimed. It IS
no longer permissible, they are told
to deduct rent, board or other liv-
ing expenses incurred in the locali-
ty where they work. In contrast
to last years ruling, a home main
tanned elsewhere does not enable
a worker in Wilmington to count
his living costs here as a travelling
expense.
The Form 1040, to be used this
year also as worksheet for 1915
estimates, furnishes a graduated
table as alternate money-saving de.
vice for ron-salaried, agricultural
and professional workers whose de-
ductible expenses run less than the
automatic 10 per cent to which
every Garner of less than $4,000
annually is entitled. The table is
used to show the amount of the 10
PER cent deduction from an adjust
ed gross income, that is, an in
come from which business losses
have already been subtracted.
Farmers of MOI. than $4,000 an
nually receive an automatic $500
deduction but have also the oppor-
tunity to use the 1040 deductible
expense list, whether or not they
are subject to withholding taxes.
