‘NEW ELECTRICAL DEVICE
TO STOP YOU SNORING
An anti-snoring device that sticks
a pin into the sleeper, or gives an
electric shock every time the sleep-
er snores, has been
the British patent office.
It is predicted that the device will
be in great demand where snoring
is recognized as grounds for divorce.
The apparatus consists of a micro-
phone responsive to the grating low-
frequency sound produced by the
snorer. It is linked to an electric
circuit, which, when closed, causes
& py to jab rapidly back and forth.
en the volume of snoring reaches
a stage that is popularly known as
“ripping hard wood,” or “striking a
knot,” the microphone automatical-
ly closes the circuit and the pin
gives a harder jab.

instead of on the retailer, as in prev-
ious years.
“The Pennsylvania gasoline tax
was changed from a customer's tax
‘to a distributor's tax by the 1831,
| Legislature, effective June 1 of last
| year,” S. Edward Gable, president of
“Taxes
|the Federation, explained.
| are deductible only by those on
| whom they are imposed, the Internal
| Revenue Bureau has ruled, so that
|in this State the gasoline levy can
| be deducted only by the distributor
{and not by the owner. Where the
car is used for business purposes,
however, the ta : becomes a business
expense as part of the cost of gaso-
line, and can be listed under
| though the tax is imposed on the
| distributor.”
The Federal income tax regula-
| tions as they apply to the car own-
(ers of Pennsylvania were listed by
Mr. Gable as follows:
First—the car owner may deduct
‘from his gross income all sums paid
calendar year in the
form of registration fees, drivers’
licenses, State, personal and property
taxes and municipal taxes.
Second—the state gasoline tax
paid by pleasure car owners prior
to June 1, 1931, may be deducted,
but that paid after June 1 cannot
{be deducted due to a change in the
method of collection that placed the
levy on the distributor, instead of on
the consumer. Where the car is
used for commercial purposes, how-
ever, the tax becomes a business ex-
pense and is deductible as a part of
the cost of gasoline.
Third--the interest on money bor-
rowed for the purchase of an auto-
mobile is deductible, irrespective of
| whether the car is used for business
| purposes or for pleasure. If the tax-
| payer keeps his accounts on a cash
| basis such interest will be deducti-
‘ble only for the year in which paid.
| If accounts are kept on an accrued
| basis, interest may be deducted as
lit accrues.
| Fourth—if a passenger car is used
| wholly for business purposes, all ex-
| pendes incident to maintenance, in-
| cluding depreciation at the rate of
20 per cent per annum, may be de-
| ducted. Where the car is used
| “chiefly,” or more than 50 per cent
| for business and incidentally for
| Pleasure, the expense may be deduct-
ed on a pro rata basis.

ible.
Sixth--the Bureau has ruled that
where a motorist paid damages for
injury to a pedestrian, such amount
is deductible, provided at the time
| never been a decision, however, on
| whether a fine paid by a motorist
| might be deducted as a business ex-
| pense, where, at the time the ex-
| pense was incurred, the car was be-
ing used for business or professional
| purposes.
| Seventh--loss when sustained
| where an automobile used for busi-
| ness purposes is traded in for a
‘new car may be deducted.
| Eighth-—the amount paid for in-
| surance on automobiles

leader- | amount of finance on a purchased

{on the loan, but not the amount

| to protect the finance company’s in-
| terest.
| “In no case is a loss deductible
where it is sustained when an auto-
mobile used for pleasure is traded in
| for a new car,” Mr. Gable explain-
led. At the same time it is stated
|in the regulations that in no case is
| the amount paid for an automobile
used for both business and pleasure
| allowed as a deduction. This is re-
garded by the Bureau as a capital
| for depreciation when used for busi-
ness purposes. In the case of pur-
| chase by a farmer for strictly farm
| use, only the expense incident to
operation is deductible, as in the
case of any other business or pro-
| fessional use.”

in a direct appeal to the operators
of motor vehicles.
“While the Commonwealth is see-
ing to it that motor vehicles are in
safe mechanical condition through
the compulsory inspection, we plan
to center our efforts on the opera-
tor,” said S. Edward Gable, presi-
‘dent of the Federation, in giving
out a list of “do's and don'ts” for
' motorists. “The manufacturers have
built into the 1932 car every pos-
‘sible safety device, highway de-
partments and engineers are utiliz-
ing the most modern construction
principle in making roads safe and
law makers and enforcement officers
are doing
themselves to determine the degree
of safety or of hazard that is to go
with travel on our streets and high-
ways.”
“If every driver will resolve to
obey the law and adhere to common-
sense rules of the road,” Mr. Gable
| continued, “there will be a marked
decrease in the number of motor ac-
| cident’s throughout the State and
Nation this year.” In this connec-
| tion he listed the following “do's
and don'ts” which he urged every
driver to obey:
1. Never pass a car on a hill
2. Always give the car to your '
right the right of way.
3. Slow down when another Car
gives the signal to pass; don't step
on the gas and try to keep him
from getting by.
4. Pass on the straight road, not
on a curve.
5. Keep your eyes open at all
times for traffic signals and obey
them to the letter. Wait for the
go signal, no matter what it may
he. Don't “jump” the lights.
6. Don't cut in and out of traffic
unless there is plenty of leeway.
You'll find that you make better
time in the end.
7. Don't run at an excessive rate
of speed at any time and, on the
other hand, don't “hearse” drive. Ex-
| ceedingly slow driving on main
| highways is as dangerous as speed-
ing.
8. Keep to your side of the high-
way; don't be a “road hog.”
9. Don’t stop on a hill or on a
curve. When you do stop, pull off
the .aighway if at all possible.
10. Stop, look and listen at rail-
road crossings.
11. Always be on the lookout for
children, and for adults as well, who
dart out from behind a parked car,
or who suddenly step off the curb.
12. When driving along trolley
lines halt when the car is stopped to
take on or discharge passengers and
be on the look-out at all times for
pedestrians stepping out from be-
hind trolley cars or busses.
13. Always give a signal when you
intend to stop, or when you pull out
into the line of traffic from a park-
ing place.
14. When accosted by an officer
be considerate; don't put up an ar-
gument.
WARN OWNERS NOT
TO DESERT DOGS
Some dog owners in counties
! throughout the Commonwealth are
doing the inhumane act of trans-
| porting their dogs and purposely
losing them.
To all who contemplate such dis-
gal, the bureau of animal industry
ture, has issued this timely advice
and warning:
“Reports from dog law enforce-
ment agents located in all sections
lof the State indicate that a number
|of dog owners are taking their dogs
a long distance from their
and turning them loose to shift
| themselves.
“Agide from the large amount of
damage these dogs do to livestock,
poultry and wild life, it is cruel and
uncalled for to take a dog into a
strange section and turn it loose.
| Dog owners are reminded that more
‘humane ways are available for dis-
posing of their dogs.
“Instructions have been given all
| dog law enforcement agents to re-
| port any such case
| dence against a dog owner can be
| obtained. Such evidence will be
! given to the proper humane agency
| for action. a
| “During the present times, the
| bureau has no desire to cause any-
one to be prosecuted, but a person
| who deliberately deserts a dog, can
|and should be held accountable for
| such a heartless act.”

PARKED CAR GEARS
SHOULD BE NEUTRAL
Motor vehicle operators who leave
their gears when parking
are courting a serious accident eith-
er to themselves or others, Benja-
min G. Eynon, Commissioner of Mo-
tor Vehicles, said today. A number
of grave accidents due to failure to
disengage gears when stopped have
recently been reported tothe Bureau
of Motor Vehicles.
“This is a careless and dangerous
habit,” Commissioner Eynon said.
“No car should be left standing in
| gear. It is too easy when starting
‘to forget that the gears have been
left engaged. The safest plan to
follow is to disengage the gears
when parked. Operators involved
in this type of accident will be se-
verely dealt wtih when they appear
for a hearing before officials of the
bureau.”

Beige, peach and green-—that'sa
| combination you have not seen much
because it has been thought out by
Augustabernard.
The beige is the blouse, the peach
is the scarf, and the green is the
jacket and skirt and hat. Another
| combination with peach in it is from
‘Jane Regny. The peach is an un-
| usual little two-piece collar; it is
worn on a navy blue dress that has
a red belt.
| Here is another. The dress is
white. It is sleeveless. The neck
is semi-high and trimmed with three
trips of satin, one brown—this goes
around the neck and is met infront
by one red from the right side and
another of peach from the left.
From this point, which is the depth

strips of satin—brown, red andpeach P
