ance. Under the preceding act the nor
NAL tax rate was per cent on the
first $4,000 of net income above the
exemptions and credits, and per
cent on the remaining net income.
The revenue act of 1924 contains a
special provision for reduced taxes
which did not appear in previous laws.
All net income up to $4,000 is consid-
cred earned income" On this amount
the taxpayer is entitled to a credit
of 25 per cent of the amount of the
tax.
For example, a taxpayer, single and
without dependents, may have receiv-
ed in 1924 a salary of $4,000 and from
a real estate transaction a profit Of
$4,000 His total net income was
$4,000 Without the benefit of the 25
per cent reduction his tax would be
$50. His actual tax is $50. From his
net income of $4,000 he is allowed a
personal exemption of $1,000; the
tax of 2 per cent on the first 81 900
is $50 one-fourth of which, or $40, may
be deducted.
For the purpose of computing this
credit, in no case is the earned net in
come considered to be in excess o.
$4,000. A taxpayer may have receiv
ed for the year 1924, net income from
salary of $4,000, but the % per cent
credit can be applied to only one-half
of this amount

Ten years is very marked differ
cnco in ages between man and wife
where the woman is the elder. i
would think seriously, my dear before
marrying man 50 much younger.
Such IL marriage might prove sue
ccssful in exceptional cases. But the
chances are that woman at As will
look and feel much older than a man
ut 30, even though the ten years diff
ference is not noticeable at 2S and IS.
By all means tell your friend your
age before you become engaged 10
him. He would in all probability find
it out later and might reproach you
FOR having concealed the truth.
IL after thinking things over YOU
both feel it will be worth while TO
risk possible later discomfort for he
sake of few years Of happiness.
then it may be worth your while Ia
marry a man who is not quite sc

'These are certainly funny looking
trees with these pegs growing in
them" said Bobby as we walked
through jungle on the Malay PENN
sula.
YES" said I, 1--WE noticed lot Of
them. don't think they grow in
them, Bobby. 1 think they've been
plugged in. Look at this one. They
certainly have been put in by men,
''They make a regular stepladder-
like the things you climb up a tele-
graph pole" suggested Bobby.
They are stepladder," said
Bunny. THAT'S one time you guessed
right. Bobby"
But you don't sec anything In these
trees to make II worth while going to
all that trouble, do you:" asked the
BOY.
Been taken away said Bunny.
But they had to build the steps to
get it."
Get what" asked Bobby, burst
with interest.
what they took away" replied
Bunny in his most aggravating tone.
Bobby gave up questioning Bunny
He might as well have asked questions
of the Sphinx. and you know yourself
the Sphinx is not very laxative.
We went on our way and Bunny as
usual was scampering on ahead like an
advance guard or a scout.
The first thing we knew Bunny
came tearing back to us after one OF
these excursions of his. His eyes were
shining and his ears were straight nm
in the air as IL they were held there
Sy wires.
"Now yom can see it," said Bunny.
Hurry up"
'See what?" asked Bobby, running
behind Bunny as fast as his two rs
would carry him. But you know it is
Nwfully hard to keep up with Bunny.
| You see he has the advantage over US
by two legs.
Nevertheless We kept up a pretty
good pace and soon came to an open
| pace in the woods.
There were several natives, busy
around a tree. We drew closer and in
4 minute we saw that they were driv-
| ing plugs in the tree like the other
ONES which had puzzled US.
They smiled and we smiled. but Of
course we couldn't say anything TO
each other, so we Just all grinned TO
show there was no hard feeling.
The plugs all in, one of the natives
mounted the tree. Up he went, step
by step. just like the repair man goes
up telegraph pole.
What was he after, l wondered.
But soon We saw. For there hanging
on the tree was the biggest beehive
ever saw.
Then what do you think that brown
fellow did? He lit n bunch OF grass
which he had in his hand and holding
the burning grass held it right under
the nest OF bees,
As the smoke arose and filled the
hive, out OF their home fell hundreds
of bees. And as soon rs the bees fell
to the ground the Malays under the
tree gathered them up and put them
carefully in a basket.
The bees all driven out Of their nest,
the man on the ladder loosened the
beehive and brought it down care
fully.
"Um," murmured Bobby. "Plenty
Of honey there. But what are they GO
ing to do with the bees?"
Eat them, of course" said Bunny,
''they like them better than the honey.
But, I suppose it's everybody to his
taste"

The following. is n real letter. 1t is
more than lettcr-it is cross sec
ton of modern life. 1t depicts, more
powerfully than any essay or editorial
can do, the problem which confronts
many homes. For that reason, / am
giving it to you just rs it came to me.
Ny Dear Elsie:
Would you or the gang please give
some moral support, or a bit of CEN
sure, whichever I need?
My problem is this-for five years
5efore we were married, my husband
and + studied at the same university,
then graduated at the same time, and
obtained good positions.
At the time of our marriage, there
was no question of my giving up my
work, as We needed the double income
20 meet various outside demands. But
IN the last year my husband has reach
cd place where his income is more
han adequate to keep us incomfort,
our debts have been paid. and so the
financial need of my work has ceased.
Now that he can give me all any
;ane woman would want, he insists
that L quit working and become n
parasite. In fact he's been on this
rampage so violently that it is reach
.ng point of an open break between
| us.
Don't I love him enough to give
up my work." he chirps. Haven't l
any idea how it looks for a man of his
position to have working wife? Why
cant L be contentcd living a normal
life like the other women?"
Butt have Il responsible position,
in the midst of very con genial sur
round:ngs, and my income is almost
equal to my husbands. l like my
work, spent five hard years of my
life and several thousand dollars of
my fathers fitting me for this work.
We have a nice home. and keep
housekeeper who does things around
the house a hundred times better than
L could. My husbands material COM
forts have never been sighted by my
working.
Now Elsie, work not for the al
mighty dollar, though we use thar
dollar partly in living and partly in
feathering the nest for our old age |
do not keep my earnings separate, for
l have never thought it fair to do so
But 1 do work for the salvation of
my own soul. or because / like to,
just as my husband does. He can be
happily married and still work so why
can't /? / have a profession just ds
he has.
Why should the montony Of peel
| ing vegetables-or in our case-lt
would be-watching them peeled, fall
upon me, more than upon him
Haven't as much right to ask him
to stay home and stagnate, as he has
| to ask me?
Had child-the argument would
! be settled. But l haven't. We have
/ both wanted them. and have not de-
MED them. but some i'll fate has de-
creed otherwise.
Can you picture my spending my
day having the "Soosies' in to lunch,
or playing bridge with Mary and JAM
all afternoon. or putting a gloss on
my nails Just to kill time? What in
heavens name I'd do with my day /
can't see.
Through the grace of my father s
| generosity and the other taxpayers of
this state have been equipped to do
something in this world. How well |
do it is beside the question. At least

Table Talks

Time was when the calorie was as
unknown as soft drink peddler in a
Havana cafe.
But now, like the poor, like bobbed
hair and rolled hose, calories are ever
present.
Clerks, housewives, school children,
editions, office boys. club women. every
one knows and talks--and counts
calorics. If you cannot converse flu
entity on calorics as you slowly masti-
cate the 100 of them that are con-
tanned in every slice of the bread you
put into your mouth. your prestige IS
threatened. Naturally, we do not
want any reader of The Light takin,
back scat while others launch forth
II this topic of food science.
So today, we are presenting you the
first Of a series of dictetic talks and
tables of caloric values so that you
will not only be able to join authori-
tatiyely into the caloric discussion but
that you, too, may know more about
what foods to eat and what not, con-
5idcring what may all you. Or, be-
'ng neither fat nor thin, what may
keep your table and likewise your sys-
tem in a well-balanced state.
Technically a calorie is n unit of
measurement, being the amount OF
heat necessary to re-" c. ,und o,
water degrees Fahrenheit.
Not so clear, is it? wei, let's try
his one.
Non-tcchnically n calorie is a meas
urc, like an ounce or a pound. When
l tell you that one ounce of chocolate
candy contains 200 units of energy,
while onc-half pound Of lettuce con-
tains but five, you will see why the
calorie or energy unit was adopted to
calculate food value instead of measur-
ing it by bulk or weight.
The woman who would reduce would
better keep her food consumption down
to at least 1900, 1900 calorics, if pos
jiblc, day.

The Rhyming
Optimist
If You Could Choose.
By Aline Michaelis

SO many little vexing cares keep
coming up each day, SO many frowns
life's visage wears you'd like to smooth
away! Such weighty cause of dis
content to bow the spirit low, such
constant freq and argument along the
road you go! IL you could choose
you'd change it all, the grief, the fret,
the care; across your path no shade
would fall no clouds would gather
there. If you could choose, you'd
swiftly seek the beauty spots of earth,
the singing sea, the mountain peak,
wide views of matchless worth. And
yet, perhaps, when you had gone so
very far away with nothing left to
lool; upon OF all things near today.
might it not be that you would find
some faint regrets at last, sweet per-
fumes borne along times wind from
regions of the past? If you could
choose, you'd soon confess the changes
would be few; old home, old love. old
tenderness are dcarer than the new.

Would you please tell me what is
the most appropriate headdress for
bride and her bridesmaid? The
wedding is going to be held at the
brides home, and she is not going to
wear a veil. L. r. l..
Large picture-hats are very lovely
and most appropriate. They may be-
of soft materials such rs net or
malines, or they may be of the very
fashionable vclvets, of a shade of the
dress or combining shade. Bandeaux,
too. may be worn, but they must be
very carefully chosen. since they are
not becoming to everyone. Or, since
it is a home wedding, it is not really
necessary for them to wear any head
dress.
Hats, ! think. give the greatest i'm
