NET LOSS DEFtNED FOR TAX PAYERS

"Net losses," according to - section 204 of the income tax law, refers only to net losses from either (a) operation of any business regularly carried on, or (b) the bonafide sale of plant buildings, machinery, equipment or other facilities constructed, installed or acquired on or after April 6, 1917, for the production of articles contributing to the prosecution of the war, and when so resulting means the excess of the deductions allowed (excluding in case of corporations amounts allowed as a deduction in section 234-6-a) over the gross income plus any interest received free from taxation. If for any taxable year beginning after Oct. 31, 1918, and ending prior to Jan. 1, 1920, 'it appears on satisfactory evidence that any taxpayer has suffered a net loss, the amount under prescribed regulations, will be deducted from the net income for the preceding taxable year, and the taxes for such preceding taxable year shall here-determined. Any amount found due will be cred

ited or refunded. If the net loss is in excess of the net income for the preceding taxable year the excess will be

allowed as a deduction in computing

net income for the succeeding taxable year. The benefit of this section is allowed to members of a partnership and beneficiaries of an estate or trust.

To Determine Gain or Loss. The basis for ascertaining gain de

rived or loss suffered from the sale or disposition of property is as follows:

(a) In case of property acquired be

fore March 1, 1913, the fair market price or value as of that date, and

(b) it acquired on or after that date.

the cost thereof, or the inventory value, if the inventory is made according to section 203. (Section 203 stipulates that whenever,, in the commissioner's opinion, inventories are necessary clearly to determine the taxpayer's income, inventories must be taken.) (c) When property is exchanged, the property received in exchange is treated as the equivalent of cash to the amount of its fair market value if any, but when in connection with the reor

ganization, merger or consolidation, of

a corporation, a person received in

place of stock or securities new stock or securities of no greater aggregate

value, no gain or loss is deemed to oc

cur, and the new stock is treated as

taking the place of the old. If the new stock received is greater in par or

race value, the excess will be treated

as gain to the extent that the fair

market value of the new stock exceeds

the cost of the stock or securities exchanged.

The opening meeting of the Music Study club was held Wednesday evening in the High school auditorium. Many attended. The high school orchestra, under the direction of . Ralph Sloane, gave the first number.

ENGLISH HEROES WORK AS DOMESTICS

them, but now even the servant girl

has a competitor. It is the male servant wearing a service ribbon, maybe a medal or two and more often than not with a wound that he got in- the trenches. Housewives are getting enthusiastic over the employment of former service men in domestic capacities. Men who have bachelor establishments started the idea by using former service men for servants and advertising the fact that they were quieter, more efficient and more dependable than female servants. Then employment bureaus were opened 'through which people could obtain service men for domestic help, and now it is a poor family that does not have at least one war hero scrubbing its floors, making beds, or answering the front door bell. Kitchen duty Is nothing new to a man who has done his turn in this army and he has learned to take his orders without answering back, so it is little wonder that the soldier servant is proving popular. Most of them like the work, or if they don't like it find it at least better than tramping the streets with no prospects for work. Several of the old castles and stuffed with male servants, lecently demobbed, and the royal establishment of the Prince of Wales has none but former service men among its male employes.
