says you must reduce the amount
OF your loss deduction by the
cash and the value Of the prop
erty you received-just as you
would have had to do If you had
received insurance.
Question-My casualty loss was
so heavy that it exceeded my en-
tire 1855 income. Is the excess
"wasted?"
Answer-Only to the extent Of
your personal exemptions and
dependency credits. But any ex-
cess of casualty losses over your
income before taking your $500
exemptions can be deducted from
your 1855 income and thus you
can obtain a refund.
You can file a quick refund
claim on Form l045 to avoid the
usual delay in refund claims.

loss and you abandoned it. the
mortgage will cut down the de-
ductible casualty loss if you
aren't personally liable on the
mortgage.
Aid Is. Not Replacement
Question: was given food,
clothing and medicines immedi-
ately after the flood drove me
out of my home. Do / have to
reduce the loss on my house by
the value of these things?
AnSwer-No. Food, medicine,
etc, are not requirements of lost
or damaged property. so they
don't reduce your deduction for
the loss on your house. Nor are
these items income to you.
Questionable Red Cross and
my employer gave me cash and
other property to help me restore
my house after the floods. Does
this affect my deductible loss?
Answer-Yes. The Treasury

the value Immediately before and
after the casualty for tax pur-
poses?
Answer-Appraisals by a COM
Ipetent expert are important.
The expert-an appraiser, engi-
Ineer, architect-should be quail
fled to judge local values. You
also should get the appraisals in
writing in the form Of an aff1-
|davit, deposition, estimates, etc.
If you have any records Of
offers to buy your property either
before 'or after the casualty.
these can be of great help to you.
Losses Can Be Claimed
Question-How much loss can
I claim on my house
AnSwer-You can claim the
difference between the value of
your house before and after the
catastrophe-but not in excess of
what the house cost you. Let's
say you bought your house years
ago at a cost of $4,000. Before
the floods, its value had risen
to $4,000. but after the floods
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1956-01-31

lit was appraised at only $4,000
You know you have Q $4,000
loss-but your deduction cannot
exceed the original cost Of your
house-which means. you can
deduct only $1,000.
And you cannot claim senti-
mental values. Your deduction
lis good only in the year of your
loss. And insurance proceeds or
other recoveries cut the deduc-
ton you can take.
Question: understand that ]
cannot deduct a loss beyond the
cost of my property. But how
does my mortgage enter the tax
picture?
Answer-You treat the mort
gage as though you paid the face
value in cash. Thus, if you
bought your house for $4,000
with a $4,000 mortgage, your
house cost you $4,000. II the
flood reduced the value Of your
house from $4,000 to $4,000,
you can deduct the full $1,000.

SIMPLE RULES ARE FOLLOWED
ON GRID DATE
sY VIVIAN sRoWfs

One of the fun-times of the year
is football time.
1t calls for a good day of fun.
dance after the game perhaps. a
date to eat with the crowd at a
restaurant or at house party.
It's a season that can make or
break you socially with your group,
because it demands confederation,
good taste, and good looks. 1t may
make you belle of your group or
you may be frozen out by your own
crowd. You should:
!. Accept the football invitation
promptly. Even though you've
been popular up until now, you'll
lose prestige if you wait until the
last moment to okey date. The
boy will get wise that you are an
opportunist Then watch the word
spread. Students can't risk buying
that extra football ticket until they
are sure.
2. When you attend the game
act interested in it. Don't put on
that: let's get on to the party
attitude. If you don't like foot
ball, don't deprive someone else
of the chance. If you do like it,
act the part.
g. If you enjoy football but do
not understand all the facets OF
the game, don't be afraid to ques-
ton your male companion A man
aikes nothing better than TO ex-
pound on a. subject he likes. But
don't make the mistake of ques-
tioning him in the middle of an
exciting episode, such as touch
down run or the fourth down, half
yard from the goal try.
4. A little knowledge may be
dangerous, particularly in the
hands of a showoff. You are Ii
able to trip yourself up if you
aren't sure. So know what you
are talking about or keep quiet
One loquacious type did very well
snasterminding the football game
audibly until Team B refused tC
accept the penalty. She said ser
iously: "See what gentlemen they
are!"

5. Try to wear the kind of foot
ball clothes that go for the party
later. If the dance is formal you'll
change of course, but if is isn't
you can get by very nicely in a
good wool dress and high-heeled
pumps. Carry extra accessories in
your purse if you want TO jazz up
the costume for a dance. Cutlery
necklace, bracelet. or pin can do
it.
6. If you are away at a college
game week end, abide by all the
rules set up by your chaperonss
and the authorities who planned
the girls accommodations -
z. If ycu have the football crowd
at. your house after the game, be
sure to have the party fare organ
lied before you go off to the game,
You don't want the crowd to come
back starving and have to wait for
hours until they are served food
It's a good idea to have snacks
to keep them busy while you pre-
pare more substantial food

when the souvenirs are passed at
the game, your friend will prob
ably love you for it. He may have
just enough to get by for the date
and that extra so cents or dollar
may make a hobo out of him.
8. Try to look healthy for. your
role as a football spectator. Save
the big makeup job for the eyen-
ing date Ditto the spiked heels,
veiled hat, dress with the plunging
neckline.

wear it. Don't say, We'll, l don't

it for the dance.
