WHAT IS DEPENDENCY.

In order to clear away misundcr-
standings as to what constitutes de
pcndency, in connection with the ad-
ditional exemption granted Income
Tax payers, Collector of Internal
Revenue, David J. Williams, gave out
the following statement:
"For 1919 a taxpayer may be al
lowed a credit of 5000 for each per
son for whom he is the chief support.
But it must be remembered that he
can claim this additional exemption

be allowed the additional 5000, even

SERVICE FOR TRAVELLERS.

The Golden Age: At the founda-
ton of the swift, smooth travel of to-
day there is an intricate system Of
coordinatcd service Without the
surrender of the individual railroad
workers will to that of thc system
travel would be both difficult and
dangerous, and civilization would sink
toward the level Of the seni-barbar-
Gus.
Every railroad man is inspired with
the ideal of as nearly perfect service
as he can render. Service by work
CT the public scarcely hears of, the
car inspector makes sure that no car
leaves the terminal in condition
that might cause an accident The
engineman's service calls for unnter-
rupted watchfulness and thoughtful
ness over every rod of track and at
every signal to make safe delivery of
the cargo at every stop.
Safe and efficient service bv the
conductor takes a personal, sincere in
tercst in the passengers, watches
conditions, observes the dispatcher'>
orders, and sees to the safety and as
far as possible the comfort of the
hundreds temporarily in his care. Ser
vice by the shopman takes care that
the rolling stock is in as good con-
dition as possible in the time allow
ed for the adjustment and repair of
engines and cars and is an important
contribution toward the efficient on
Grafton of the system. The railroad
clerks service contributes in some
measure to the possibility of the man
agcment's having the records which
make for the efficient operation Of
the system.
There is no place where lack of the
spirit Of service shows more than in
the conduct Of the executives. Their
epirt travels through tie personnel.
md manifcsts itself in the acts Of
every cmploye of t'rc road. Govern
re the entire system is the service

tivcS, control policies and supply the
funds required in a large way to pur-
chase materials. equipment and labor
for the best maintenance and opera
tior Of the system.
Modern travel is the resultant of
the service Of thousands working sep
arately but all to Il common end. In
a successful railroad it represents
the best that can be done for trc
money to secure the safe and comfort
able delivery of passengers and
freight over mile after mile of track
to the destination. It is an cxemplif-
cation of the Biblical maxim that

turned pinto" over night, Z.
According to Carlson. Mikes ex-
reriencc on the trip was due to the
fact. that when he turned the dos
over to the bagsageman and went
to give him the usual gratuity he
found nothing smaller than szo
bill. He was in a hurry and left.
The first baggageman, Carlson
says, dipped a brush IN ink and
marked I'd. H" between 4 Mikes
ears, meaning undoubtedly dead
head" The next baggageman found
a pot of red paint and wrote DAB
ger, Beware" on one of Mikes
smooth white tanks.
After that Mike received numer-
Gus indelible decorations. until he
looked more like a billboard than
a thoroughbred dog.
From Mikes experience ii is evi-
