Appearing before the Senate Com- merce and Labor Committees, Cur- ran accused Joseph Ryan, president of the rival AFL union with parti- cipation in the waterfront strife during which Curran testified 125 members of his CIO union were in- jured while picketing since the or- ganization was first formed. Curran paid respects to Harry Bridges, CIO leader on the Pacific Coast, and denied he was a Com- munist. “Harry Bridges has contributed much to the advance of the welfare of workers in the maritime indus- try,” Curran said He also declared that the Com- munist party has been more help- ful to workers than any other lib- eral group, regardless of what the party’s long time objectives might be. Nome Waterfront To Get Bulkhead Bill Introduced Calling for Appropriation of $200,000 WASHINGTON, Feb. 17.—Sena- tor Elmer Thomas, of Oklahoma has introduced a bill providing for the construction of a $200,000 sheet pile bulkhead on the Nome waterfront. The bulkhead was destroyed in a recent storm. YOU MAY GET RAINBOWS N LIGHT BULBS PHILADELPHIA, Fcb., 17.— The electric light of the future will change colors at the turn of a switch. This is one of the tricks of tel- lurium vapor, now only a labora- tory curiosity, described in the Jour- nal of the Franklin Institute. Tel- lurium is a non-metallic chemical element, one of the 92 primary sub- stances forming earth, sun and oth- er planets. It's a cousin of sulphur and often is found in small quantities in gold and silver. It is used for coloring glass and porcelain and for some electrical appartus. But J. W. Marden, N C.. Beese and George Meister have developed an electrig light by placing a little tel- lurium'in a bulb where it will va- porize when the current is turned en. Téllurium melts at about 1,200 degrees Fahrenheit, so that it is easy to produce the vapor. Through this vapor an electric current will flow just as though a filament making the vapor glow brilliantly. The peculiarity is that tellurium vapor changes from blue-white to and bright gold as the heat rises with an increase of electric current.

But it" belongs to the marine branch of the pinks and does not do the same health job for man as the pink of carrots, or the yellow of corn, another of the carotene pigments. The nature of salmon pink is re- ported in the journal of the biologi- cal board of Canada by Basil E. Bailey of the Pacific Fisheries ex- perimental station. He extracted the pink coloring matter from sal- {mon with alcohol Chemistry showed there were two red pigments, both apparently var- leties of astacin, a carolene pig- ment common in marine animals. In human diet the principal value of carotene pigments is to form vitamin A. The pigments are “pre- cursors” of the vitamin. This means the body chemically transforms the pigments into the vatamin. Bailey reports that neither ma- rine astacin nor salmon pink ap- pear transformable to any extent in mammalian bodies. MEDA ROWE MARRIED IN BALTIMORE, MD., PARENTS ANNOUNCE Mr. and Mrs. R.

If his home or his auto- mobile is destroyed by fire, or his summer bungalow damaged by flood or storm, he may claim a deduction for the loss sustained Loss of property by theft or bur- glary is an allowable deduction, and need not be incurred in trade or business. Hence, the loss occasioned by the theft of jewelry or an auto- mobile used for pleasure and con- venience is deductible. It must be established, however, that the property actually was stolen. Should circumstances at- tending the loss leave the owner in doubt as to whether it was stolen or lost, the claim would not be al- lowed. Losses from wagering transactions are allowable only to the extent of the gains from such transactions. A loss is deductible only in the year in which it is sustained, even though, as in the case of a theft or casualty, it may not be discovered until a later year Losses compensated for by insur- ance or otherwise, of course, are not deductible. However, in the event the amount of insurance is not suffieient to recompense for the loss sustained, the excess of the loss cver the amount of the insur- ance is deductible. In general, losses for which amount may be deducted for in- come-tax purposes must be evi- denced by closed and completed transactions, fixed by identifiable events, bona fide and actually sus- tained during the taxable period for which claimed. For instance, a person 1)ossessing: stock of a corporation cannot de- | an | duct from gross income any amount |affixed, on this 14th day of Feb+! claimed as a loss merely on account | of shrinkage in value of such stock | through fluctuation of the market| or otherwise.
