 Other features of the tax bill which go into legal effect today but which are retroactive and which consequently are not prac- tically affected by the time of the signing of the bill, include taxes on incomes, excess profits and war profits; estates and inherit ances and excise taxes on special businesses, such as brokers, bowl ing alleys, insurance companies, theatre and amusement place proprietors and liquor dealers.

marched away. The face she sought
was absent.
Each day when gay crowds made
their way down to the piers, to wei
come heroes home, the silent watcher
stood beside the gates. She never
chcered. Her drawn face bore no trace
OF giicf, but as the big gates opened
some sort of happy light envcloped
her features, as she scanned each
face But as the last man filed into
the street, she turned again and
walked away, without Il word AL
ways it was the same. No news from
him, nothing but the hope in her
heart that would not die.
Scores of ships have come to port
since the ending of the war, ouch
bringing its share of veterans home
to happiness. But no returning war
rior has failed to pass beneath her
scrutiny. She has always been in her
accustomed place beside the gates,
waiting for her boy. She knows he'll
come some day, she says.
Some say her mind is shattered
through her grief. But she goes
about her daily tasks in the old nc.
cusomed way. The little home beside
the river blooms again this spring
The roses will soon be coming again
and the shrubs she planted there are
trimmed and kept in order. The lit
tie path from the gate is neat anC
trim. and often late into TIE night
her light is burning.
Each day a transport is announc-
ed she dons her Sunday best" ant
goes to watch, pathetic, tragic, fol
her ship. It's the ship that will new
er come, many have told her, because
her soldier hero is asleep somewhere
in France. But she smiles ut them
and goes her way. She'll watch and
wait, she says, until there is no hope
and then she'll die, to be with him.
