Fire which swept an old abandoned puse caused a flurry of appre- ;7 fon at the navy vard last night and then was snuffed out almost us | quickly as it began. Thick clouds of smoke covered the neighborhood, and a crowd of more than 1,000 gathered Navy yard and city fire- | men extinguished the blaze in less than an hour. Damage was slight. Cause of the fire was unknown to- but it was believed a match or cigarette carelessly dropped on the| upper floor ignited waste and timber wood. A quantity of old lumber was stored in the building Marine Spots Flames. A marine saw flames shooting from a second-story window shortly after 5:30. By the time the navy vard fire fighting apparatus arrived at the scene the flames were shooting through the windows and high into the air. The firemen turned in a city alarm. Because of the high wind three alarms were turned ip. More than 30 pleces of apparatus responded. Crowds gathered quickly and armed force of more than 100 Marines was ordered to keep the spectators out of the reservation. For a time it was feared the flames might spread to nearby bulldings and there was some danger of build- ings containing explosives being ignited. A mine building and four small shacks where ammunition is loaded were within 100 vards of the blaze, but out of the path of sparks scattered by the wind. Building Was Abandoned. After the arrival of the third de- tachment of District firemen the fir brought under control and it 6:30. an | The building, which is near the venth and N streets entrance, was formerly apply department storage warehouse and was con- demned and abandoned about three ears ago. It was of brick and wood construction. The fire destroyed most of the wooden part and licked up the contents of the second floor, which were valueless. The first floor contained lumber and some old guns of little value and these were un- touched by the flames. RELIEF COSTS $4,156,770. 12,171 Families Aided by Red Cross After Florida Hurricane. MIAMI, Fla., February 3 #®).— Awards for hurricane relief in Florida by the American Red Cross aggreé- gated $4,156,770.14, the full amount contributed by the American people, Henry M. Baker, director, announced today. The awards are closed with approximately $1,000,000 as yet not claimed by beneficiaries. Income Tax Problems Simplified for All No. 17. To be allowed, a claim for a deduc-| *ion for a loss incurred in a - | action ente into for profi connected with the taxpayer's trade or business, must have several dis tinet qualities, The intent to make a profit must have existed at the beginning of the enterprise. Not infrequently deduc- tions for losses are clalmed through the sale of a house owned and occu pied by the taxpayer as a home. If the property was purchased for the taxpaver's personal use as a residence without intent of resale, it was not a “transaction entered into for profit.” A loss sustained in the sale of a house purchased by the taxpayer as his resi. dence without intent to make a profit, and subsequently rented, is not deduct ible. A persgn claiming 'deduction for loss incurred in the sale of residential property should attach to his return an affidavit stating the facts as to the uce of the propel supported by evi- dence, record if possible, showing his intent when he entered the transac- tion A taxpayer who buys an automobile to be used for business purposes and sells it at a loss is entitled to a deduc- tion for the loss sustained. But a loss sustained in the sale of an automobile purchased for pleasure or convenience Is not deductible, the transaction not having been entered into for profit All losses are deductible only to the extent by which they are not com sated for by Insurance or otherw SENATE WOULD PAY | IMBRIE'S WIDOW $30,000 Resolution Giving Fund Because of Death of Envoy at Hands of Persian Mob.

The resolution approved last night orig- Inally provided that $70,000 of this payment was to be used for the edu- cation of Persian students in United States, but this was eliminated in committee.

Eight District of Columbia bills, most important of which was the change in the Borland law to relieve property owners from assessment for the replacement of a street if they ave been assessed for the original vement, went through the Senate last night. The other local measures approved are a bill modernizing the life insur- ance code of the District; to authorize the widening of Nichols avenue, in Anacostia; res for the con- servation of black bass; two bills de signed to limit the commissions of persons serving as guardians for men- tal. incompetents, and a bill to permit certain non-profit-making societies that are incorporated under District aws to holl meetings elsewhere from time to time. The modification of the Borland act passed the House at the last session and is therefore ready for the Presi- dent's signature. While the measure does not go as far as the or citizens of the Distr cated, neverthel up by Congress in the prov law that has been objected to by the people of Washington since its emact- ment more than a decade ag The text of the amendment, which now seems certain to become law, fol- lows: “That no frontage of abuiting property cn _which a_legal assessment fitbgts & mlhhlcton (Inc.)

When it was first reached Senator Capper began to explain its effects, when there was a request that the bill “go over.’ Since the Senate was working under a unanimous consent rule, this would have been sufficient to prevent action last night. Later in the evening Senator Phipps of Colorado, who has charge of District appropriations in the Senate, supported Senator Capper by appealing to the Senate to to the consideration of the measure. His request was granted, and the bill was passed. Insurance Bill Passed. The bill establishing a code for the conduct of legal reserve life insurance business, which now goes to the House for concurrence, was described in the report of Senator Sackett as a measure to safeguard the public against Insecure companies and at the same time strengthen legitimate companies already here and to the Distriet legitimate concerns whose reserve will in part be avail- able for Investment purposes in Wash- ington. There were four seperate bills pass ed by the House to regulate the ap- pointment of guardians and commit- tees to handle the estates of incom petent persons, but after two of them had been epproved by the Senate last night, Senator Blease, Democrat, of South Carolina, objected to consid- eration of the others. He sald he had some one looking into the pro- vislons of these District bills and wanted to wait informa- tion. The Hawes bill forbidding the sale of small-mouth or large-mouth black in the District passed after Sen- for more GULDENS attract | E‘Mustard‘ Delightful Offices— We don’t know of another such combination of charm- ing location and spacious accommodations, attended by the best of service—elevator, etc.—that is now available in a modern building in the Dupont Circle neighborhood.

Gentlemen : In reading your ad of February Ist, I see you are awarding prizes for the greatest number of rent receipts. I have at present receipts, and if I had all the money they represent 1 could have bought and paid for a home sev- eral times over. I am too old to start, but I know now from experience that buying a home is a lot cheaper than renting. With the payments so small it costs much less to buy than to rent, and I advise every one, before it is too late, to begin buying their own home. They will never re- gret it. Truly yours, The Rewards will be supervised by John F. Maury, president of Washington Real Estate Board; James P.
