No. 8 Exemptions Allowed Couples Married During Taxable Year.

Taxpayers should note that un- der the Revenue Act of 1892 the credit for dependents as well as the personal exemption is required to be prorated where change of status occurs during taxable year A fractional part of month is to be disregarded unless it amounts to more than half month, in which case it is consid- cred a month.
 For example, single man and single woman who were married on July 20, 1883, and were living together on the last day of the taxable year, may file joint re- turn and would be entitled to per- sonal exemption of $2,208.34, which is seven twelfths of $1 900 for the husband while single, plus seven twelfths of 1000 for the wife while single, plus five twelfths of $2,500 for the period during which they were married If separate re- turns are filed, each is entitled to a personal exception of S1,104.17, which is seven twelfths Of S1 ,00O plus One half of five tweIfths of $2 2,500. t n a M~ l If during the year 1893 the hus- band or wife had the status of the head of family prior to their marriage he or she would be en- titled to his or her pro rata share of the personal exemption of S2,- 800 allowed the head of family for the period prior to their mar riage instead of merely that all lowed single person
 However. for the period of their marriage any exemption to which either might be entitled as the head of family would be merged in the joint personal exemption for that period. The joint person. al exemption allowable in the case of couple who were married and living together during the entire year may not exceed s2,500.
 If child under Is years of age and dependent on the parent for support reaches the age of l8 years during the taxable period, the cred it of s400 for dependent is re- quired to be prorated in the same manner as the personal exemption For example, should the child, eighteenth birthday fa1l on June
 30. the parent would be entitled tc claim $2oO credit for the dependent
 child-that is, one half of s400
 The same rule applies to other de,

FRANK WASKEY

Not Bothered About Gold = and Silver Prices-

It isn't the price or gold and silver that is the most serious problem confronting Alaska's pros pectors and miners in remote re- gions, according to Frank IT. Was key, Alaskas first Delegate to Con- z gress, and himself a prospeetor of the nth degree. It is the difficulty Of obtaining a few honest-so-g good ness wooden cases, such as were had in abundance in the good old days.

things that freezing does not hurt in the cache, and carefully lower the canned goods into the cellar. Our troubles are over for brief while Then there comes a season of damp weather. A neighbor drops over to borrow case of milk We go to the cellar, try to get the case out without it's falling to pieces. But no the dampness has finished the job.
 The slippery box collapses in cur hands, and a small avalanche of cans cascades down the cellar stairs and into far corners. We cuss and pick them up, and then get a coal oil case for our friend to pack them away in.
 "A week later, the Boss of the housa notices that can of to- matoes is rusting badly, and the whole cellar is getting dank and mouldy.
 "So there is another job. Take the cans out of all the cases, wipe the damp cans dry, and throw the cussed boxes out in the yard 'till we have time to make a fire of them.
 You cannot burn them in the stove without wasting hours tear ing and folding them, and feeding good wood into the stove with them
 "RegretfuIly we take the two good boards we were saving to make a door for the wind break, and instead make shelves for the cellar to store the homeless cans on.
 FavoE Direct Action
 Tn comnion with all Alaskans the writer has his favorite brands of canned goods and especially does he fancy a certain milk.
 But I'll tell this good, if some what askew world, one thing. If il is possible to buy my modest per- lsonal order of thirty cases of milk in good old spruce or pine shocks that is the milk that will be bought this summer, no matter if it i! canned in Suquamish of Sleep, Eye.
 And the same thing goes for al the other dainties one needs u wield the can opener to enjoy.
 T could name a well knowi line of goods that I have lonl called for by name. But hence forth friendship ceases and If nee' be, sacrifice begins.
 From now on, the wooden bo. will with me, cover a multitude o shortcomings until our wholesal CTS either take a tumble or we ar forced to the other alternative, to wit:

cents from around 6.59la at yester-

The local market had its busiest
session In long period. Most Of the
advance occurred after the close OF

dollars In Paris seemed to be the
initial cause Of the sudden revival OF
activity.
Foreign banking circles reported
that talk was rife concerning infia-

the American gold price was heard
generally in the exchange market
Several days ago the French franc,

GOOD FALL PACE

Level, but on More
Orderly Basis.
Rr the Asnocia,sd Press.

BY the AA89liaked fTests
NEW YORK, August 3.-Current
indications point to Fall trade not
much below that Of last year. but on
more orderly basis and devoid of
the extreme fluctuations Of that
period" says the Dun & Bradstreet
Business Review.
THE maintenance Of retail dis
tribution above the comparative level
Of a year ago Is one Of the most re-
assuring factors IN the present situ-
alton" the summary states. Re
ports this week showed the largest
gains on the Pacific Coast. where
postponed buying Of urgent needs
crowded the stores with shoppers who
had been forced to curtail budgets
for more than two months on ac-
count Of the strike.
I'm the Southwest the industrial
and wholesale divisions have been
affected seriously by the drought. but
retail trade has held up remarkably
well with the gain in sales running
steadily around IS per cent better
than at this period a year ago. In
the Midwest there was brisk turn
for the better in most districts, while
in the East more comfortable Sum-
mer weather and special promotional
events lifted the total Of retail sales
to the best position achieved In nearly
three weeks"
The agency finds that although
business already has started upward
again there is an urgent need for
some strong stimulus TO enable the
turn to gather momentum. and sug-
gests that extension of industrial
credits by the Government. coupled
with the home-modernization pro-
gram. will make long strides In the
desired direction.
The business activity barometer of
the agency reversed the downward
trend of the preceding three weeks,
rising one-tenth of point to 62S.

Why You Should
Never Cut a Corn

II you are troubled with corns or CAL
louses, do not run the risk of blood
poison by pairing them. Statistics show
that many infections have occurred
from this seemingly innocent practice of
pairing corns.
Simply go to your druggist and get
few cents worth of Ice-Mint. rub a lit
tie on any painful corn or calous. Inn
mediately the pain will disappear and
in a short time the corn or callous will
loosen and lift off easily with the fin
gers-root and all-leaving the sur
rounding skin in a healthy normal con-
dition.
This. together with the fact that Ice
Mint overcomes such affections sore,
tired. aching, prffed or burning feet and
makes them co easy and comforta Bile,
is probably res ible for the hearty
endorsement given it by druggists.
To rid ones feet OF every hard corn
soft corn. corn between the toes or pain
full calouses in such a pleasant and
safe way, makes it seem the height of
folly for anyone to pare corn and
people are warned to stop it.

the play is produced. She said
you had given valuable SuggeS-

"As a matter of fact, Pippin,
it's her word against yours.
There's no way of proving how
much of the play you wrote
if she takes a notion to deny
it. We may KNOW she isn't
capable; we can't prove that

Paula read Ter statement be-
fore her 80 colleagues. She
read it with blazing eyes and
challenging defiance in her
voice.
Its true that Pippin did
most of the writing. She wrote
three of the four scenes with
out help from me. But the

They stood in the little room
when they reached home that
night.
He said: "Pippin, I'm glad
the others are away. I wish
they were never coming back"
Ca, why, Kevin?"
He stood there smiling at
her. Suddenly he raised his
hands and ran his two forefin-
gers across her eyebrows.
Il only mean that I want you
to miss me. I don't want them
here when I'm away"
Pippin's Promise
do you want me to be alone
and neglected, Kevin?"
An odd smile went across his
lips. 1T will give you a fine
chance to study! It's your last
quarter in college think it
would be very worthy of you to
cut out all social engagements
and concentrate on your work"
Are you asking me to do
this, Kevin?"
I'D like to ask it. I wish
had the right to ask it,"
Haven't you? Why haven't
you?"
"Of course I haven't! It's so
obvious"
She waited. wanting him to
say more but without the will
to demand. Then her hand
fluttered up and touched the
lapel of his coat.
It'll cut them all out, Kelvin.
Everything!"
He covered her hand, then in
a moment closed his arms about
her. He kissed her eyes softly
and her throat and her lips.
He said, seeking: "Pippin, a
long time ago when you were
very young, you were in love
with me. weren't you?"
She met his eyes bravely: Il
still am, Kevin. I'm still in love
with you. I love you with all
my heart!"

term. We don't want to take
any chances of the appropri-

equipment and have it paid for
before anything can happen"
will you be gone long.
Kevin?"
Maybe four months, and
maybe six. I'm going to do some
work in pathology under Freyer.
I need to brush up on this.
Kevin'S Dreams
Pippin looked at him with her
eyes wide; her eyes, though she
was not aware of this, filled
with a great, stormy yearning.
So that Kevin said abruptly:
Martha, wish I were rich! I
wish had just little money"
BreathlesS: "Why?"
II could buy you leis of gar
denjaS! You wear them so
we'll"
"Is that all, Kevin?"
"And it wouldn't do at all to
dress you in ginghams. A man
should be shot who would take
a good student like you, Pippin;
a dear, lovely thing, and put
you in a kitchen or put you any
where in the dark"
She said, trembling: ut
might not seem dark"
His eyes, too. were glowing.
A faint color tinged his cheeks.
She thought he looked wonder
fully handsome. Strong and
keen as a blade.
And I'd buy you a large suit
case. Pippin?"
What would I do with a
suitcase. Kevin?"
Pack your things and take
q long, long journey. Oh, come
on. Martha. Let's have another
dance"
Sh' rested her cheek against
the smooth black of his tuxedo
and felt the beating of his
heart: felt melting away with
love for him and longing.
He was taller than Bill and
Bill was a little tall for comfort
in dancing. Yet somehow she
never felt a strain, never got
that kink in her neck when
dancing with Kevin. She felt
drifting like a breeze, uncon-
scious Of the floor when KeVin
took her in his arms.
The Washington times., 1934-05-11

She wondered if it were love
made Kevin talk like this. Deep
within her she felt sure. He
loved her-oh, he loved her
greatly. But she didn't want to
be fooled. So she pretended to
take it lightly. Just a game. A
happy way a man has of talking
to a girl. The girl understands.
She knows it's for fun. All men
do this!
But she went over it all hap
PLY just before she dropped to
sleep; felt his arm about her.
his warm, exciting face near
hers; his mouth which looked
stern yet was so tender leaving
the kiss which still gloWed
Sweetly on her lips.
Oh, he loved her. OF course
he did! She could wake up with
a song in her thoughts that
next morning. It didn't matter
so much about Paula'S treach-
cry.
"Just the same" averred
kathleen, when they were study
ing together the next afternoon,
something should be done
about it. It's like keeping
rattleSnake in the house."
The words were just spoken
when Colleen Lowell entered the
room and locked the door after
her.
Colleen was a frank, homely
girl with a flat, boyish figure,
green eyes. freckles, and a great
charm. She was the most popu-
lar girl in the sorority, looked
up to by the younger members,
admired by the older ones.
Collen had a gay, impudent
manner and great executive
ability.
To Avoid Scandal
She sat on the edge of the
crude desk and said quietly:
1--WE don't want this thing to
get out of the house. I've
made Paula write down what
she admitted yesterday. I'm
calling a meeting after dinner
and she shall read it before
us all. Also I went with Paula
