THE PRINCETON Z UNION: i /.
by the wife, in which she sets forth
'the approximate amount of her sepa-
rate income and the independent income
IF their child or children during the
last preceding year, exclusive Of any
sums received from her husband and
exclusive Of any gifts to her or her
child or children, the same being mere
ly the income derived from the separate
or independent income property Of, or
property held in trust for, her, the child
or children"
When wife files a supporting af1-
davit it must be upheld by an affidavit
from a head of a family residing in
the local area. When a wife does not
support, but herself makes application
for a husbands discharge she must
cover the same ground and have two
supporting affdavits from heads of
families residing in the local area, un-
less the wife lives outside this area,
in which case the afidavits may come
from the area in which she lives.
When neither the wife nor the hus-
band makes the application it may be
made by some one personally we'll ac-
quainted with such husband and his
wife, child or Children" who has per
sonally made an Investigation Of the
sources Of income of the wife," The
person filing such an application must
present Herewith the marriage certif-
cate or a certified copy Of it, or submit
the afidavits of two persons who were
present when the marriage took place.
Similar procedure must be followed
in the case Of "any son Of a widow de-
pendent upon his labor for support"
and in the case Of the "son Of aged
or inflrm parent Or parents dependent
upon his labor for support" for the
father Of a motherless child or chill
dren under sixteen years of age de-
pendent upon his labor for support
and for the "brother of a child or chill
dren under sixteen years Of age who
has (have) neither father nor mother
and is (are) dependent upon his labor
What Labor Is.
Labor" is defined in this way:
"For the purpose of these rules and
regulations labor shall be construed
to mean bodily or mental exertion. 1t
may be either physical or intellectual;
it may be professional, mechanical,
commercial, clerical or agricultural,
and each Of these forms of labor may
exist under notifications or in COM
bination with each other. The means
for the support of the dependent or de-
pendents must be produced by this Ia
Dor, whatever its character. It need
not be wholly produced from it, but it
must be mainly so. A dependent re-
ceivihg support from a person whose
income is derived from dividends or
rents cannot be said to be dependent
upon his labor, but if that income were
entirely the fruit of professional or
physical toll then such person would
be dependent upon his labor.
For the purpose of these rules and
regulations it is added, "by the term
aged or infrm' parent or parents is
meant those persons who from old age
and infrmity are disabled from earn
ing the means Of supporting them
selves and who by reason Of such age
or infrmity have become dependent for
the means of support upon the person
in respect Of whom the claim is made.
III any person claiming exemption or
discharge shall file affidavits in support
thereof, one such affidavit should con-
tain the statement that he binds him.
