married man whose income was less thsr
$4,000 was exempt. Now the exempted in
come of man suffering matrimony Is but
$1,000. But he has a chance to raise that
exemption. For every baby he has the ey-
emption limit is raised 5000. The law here
extends tts first recognition of merit to the
father OF many children. II he is the satber
or ten children and has an income Of $4,000
he is still exempt, while the mere father OF
SIX children with the same income must nav
