Save on Toxes-H
~ SYLVIA PORTER
dn Collaboration With Institut. Of Amerca)

Last year, did you make some
permanent Improvements to
your home because the improve
ments would alleviate the ILL
ness of a member of your
family? If so, you'll find news
below which may help you save
on your income tax.
Are you paying premiums on
an accident and health policy
which also covers loss Of in
come, loss of life, etc.? If so,
you'll find more news below OF
value to you in filling out your
return.
On the first point: Many
people do make improvements
to their homes during a year
because the alterations or addi-
tions are necessary for the
health of a member of the
family.
If you have done so, you now
have the Treasury's approval
for treating these OUTLAWS as
deductible medical expenses.
Example offered
The fact that the money
you spent for medical reasons
produces permanent improve
ment to your home will not bal
treating that outlay as a de-
duction. The only limit on this
newly liberalized Treasury view
is that the cost is not deduc-
tible as a medical expense if il
increases the value of the prop
erty.
Here is the type of expendi.
ture which is now in the clear
assuming, of course, that il
doesn't raise the value of YOU
home and that you made the
improvement for bona fide med.
ical reasons:
Cost OF swimming pool
1nclinator Stair-seat elevaD
tor Electronic air clean,
er Air-conditioning device
Under the Treasury's new
view, a logical conclusion woulc
be that you also should be abb
to deduct such expenses as tn
cost of an oil burner bough
to replace a coal furnace 70
medical reasons-although tn
courts previously had held IN
der the old view that such cost
weren't deductible. You eve,
might be able to deduct the ex
pense of bathroom added

How to INVESTIGATE Stocks
Br SYLVIA PORTER

Every time the New York
Stock Exchange advertises its
warning, Investigate Before
You Invest lin stocks, I want
to yelp back, Fine, but how do
I go about the investigating?',
said my daughters orthodon-
tist as he finished this months
work on her teeth. "I have
money I'd like to invest, I'm
not stupid. but I don't know
what that warning means I
should do. Can you tell me?"
you've made a deal, doc
tor. said I. Not only will I
try to explain, but I'll also ask
officials of the New York Stock
Exchange to help me do it."
Aims Must Be Clear
Thus, in this and tomorrow's
column. you'll find some an
Swers to how ito investigate

in collaboration with the New
York Exchange. To start with
I'm making three assumptions:
You seriously want guides
and you're prepared to work.
You want practical rules, not
generalities. and will not dis

You have some savings in
stocks now or are accumulating
funds to put into stocks over
coming months and years.
@. What do I do first?
A. Before making any move
you must decide what are your
objectives in buying stocks.
This is fundamental.
Is your aim a steady income
in dividends every three
months? Or is your aim a COM
paratively high income? Is
your aim a handsome profit
within a year or two? Or is it
the greatest degree of safety?
Each of these is a basic OBJ
jective, and rarely will you
achieve all four aims in one
stock. If your aim is a profit
fairly quickly. you'll choose a
more risky stock than if your
aim is greatest safety. You'll
not buy the same stock for
highest income as for secure
income.
@. Any other questions I
should ask myself?
A. Definitely. You must ask
and honestly answer whether
you have the temperament
to investigate an investment
thoroughly before you make it,

Wushington's Innkeepers Expect

about the same as last year.
He observed:

Bourbon Dawes, executive

he expected the rush to con-
tinue through mid-June.

concluded.
Business has been so good,
in fact, that some hotelmen
have been plagued by their own
success. A number of potential
visitors have repeatedly steered
clear of Washington after hear
ing tales Of a lack of accommo-
dations.
In reality, however. desirable

may not be the tourists first
choice, the Board of Trade de-
clared.
Trade Board Study
According to a recent study
sponsored by the board, there
is housing in the Washington
area for $4,000 visitors. Fifty
four per cent of that capacity
is in hotels, 38 per cent in mo-
tells, 6 per cent in tourist homes
and 2 per cent in rooming
houses.
By 1865, Mr.. Arata said,
tourists will have an even
greater choice of accommoda-
tions. He predicted that some

by then-a 33 per cent increase
