HEAD OF FAMILY
GETS $4,000 EXEMPTION
Two Hundred Dollar Exemption AL
lowed for Dependents Under Is. or
Incapable of Self Support.

Single persons, though required to
file a return II their net income for
1920, was $1,000 or over, are, If they
are the Leads Of families, granted a
special exemption under the revenue
laws. Such a person is defined by
Treasury regulations as "a person who
actually supports and maintains in enc
household one or more individuals
who are closely connected with him by
blood relationship, relationship by
marriage or by adoption, md whose
r:gl-. to exercise family control and
provide for these dependent individ-
uals is based upon some moral or legal
oblig7 ton" Such persons are allowed
the exemption Of $1,000 granted .
married person. In addition, they are
allowed . credit Of 5000 for each de-
penient under IS years Of age or in
capable Of self-support because men,
tally or physically defective.
A married person living with hus-
band ard wife can not claim an add
tional $1,000 exemption as the head Of
q family. His or her exemption Is
based upon the marital status, ire
spective Of the support Of others liv-
ing il the same household. The adj
tion,l 5000 credit for dependents does
not apply to the husband CT wife Of a
taxpayer. For example, If a married
man supports a father who is inc4p-
able Of self-support. he is entitled to.
the 5000 credit for such person. II
through force Of circumstances he sup
ports his wife away from home. he is
eatitlel TO the $1,000 exemptionslow-
q married person, but not to a
$500 credit for \ dependent.
A son who has left home but who
sens lis mother more than one-half
the sum required fer her support Is
entitled TO the $500 credit provided
the mother can not support herself.
Othc-wise, the amount must be cor
sidered as a gift, and, therefore, the
credit is not allowe; A son living II
home and supporting his father, moth
er, or other relative may claim the
$1,000 exemption allowed the head Of
q family. but no; the $500 credit unless
such relative is under IS years Of sge

TO ABOLISH HIGH HEELS

A bill prohibiting the manufacture.
sale. or wearing Of heels more than an
inch and a half high, viii be introdue-
ed into the Massachusetts, Legislature
al once and q strenuous campaign will
Be opened Immediately 10 secure its
enactment into law. The bill has been
drafted for the osteopathic Associa-
ton, and the campaign will be con-
Quoted BY osteopathic physicians, sur
geons, and specialists all over the
country.
Women's clubs, school teachers, and
all organizations interested directly or
indirectly in public and individual
health, hygiene. reconstruction, and
conservatism, will be invited 10 par
ticipate in this work. Woman suf-
frage, the osteopaths expect, will
make possible the enactment Of this
Legislation, which is not for the pur-
pose Of Furnishing anybody, but is in
stead intended for public education re-
garding the far-reaching evils Of
wearing high heels. II 1t becomes a
law, il will not go into effect for five
years, which will give ample time for
the sale and wearing out Of all the
high heels on the market.
The removal Of the cause Of disease
being the basic principle of osteo-
patty, and the entire scientific world
that high heels constitute
one Of the most obvious causes Of dis
turbance Of equilibrium, resulting in
deviations Of the spine and
of internal organs, particularly affect
ing collaborating, the osteopathic pro-
fession has come to the conclusion
that it is It's logical duty TO conduct
this campaign, as it is along the line
Of its own speciality.
The manufacture, sale and use Of
alcohol as a beverage is crime be-
cause the law has been enacted, max
ing II so. The osteopaths claim that
IL was just as much Of a moral crime
before the law was enacted as after,
and that the wearing Of high heels is
crime, because it is an in
jury to the race as well as the indi-
vidual. Being morally crime, the
Dsteopaths seek to have it made legal
Iy crime in order to benefit the
human race by its abolition, in an
analogous manner to the benefit OBJ
aimed by the Volstead Act.
Race suicide is distinctly aided by
high heels, which so decrease the
power as to lessen prop |
lgation and interfere with the health
md strength of offspring. All women
gho wear high heels become deformed
not only in the feet, but also in the
mees and back. Chronic backache, 4
which is the most prevalent complaint
# American women, results more
rom high heels than from any other
,ause. Flat chest, predisposing to
is a natural sequence to
Dropping up the heels and thus tipping
.he body forward.
