been abandoned for his young British
wife, who was seized with him not far

had received the report. The search
ers found no trace of Mrs. Frenchan,

Normal tax at 4 per cent Of s25.. 81
Why 1t Didn't Work.
In this hypothetical case, the rule
OF taking the salary or net income,
whichever is the lower for figuring the
10 per cent credit, failed absolutely,
because the earned income credit was
neither 10 per cent Of his salary,
$4,000, nor was 1t 10 per cent Of his
net income. vs3,225. Instead. it was
$500 fiat. This was calculated on the
basis OF the sentence hard to under
stand: IF the net income is more than
$1,000 the earned net income shall
not be considered to be less than
$1,000" Or, in other words. 1t might
have been written, If the net income
is more than $4,000, you can take
of at least $500.
A word of warning is sounded by
Government experts, however, against
the 10 per cent limit placed against
the earned income credit. Taxpayers
should be sure, it is explained, that
in their calculations they do not at
tempt to take an earned income
credit" which will be in excess of 10
per cent of the actual met income"
Many taxpayers, no doubt, unless they
have consulted a Government agent,
probably will take 10 per cent Of all
their salary, which may be much
larger than 10 per cent of their net
income, and in a few months will be
getting letters from the auditors over
in Baltimore, the headquarters for
this district, explaining that they took
too much earned income credit.
Therefore, they will owe the Govern
ment such and such in additional
taxes.
Here's another good point to re-
member, however. The taxpayer max
ing a return on form l040-A can in
crease the amount of his earned in
come credit, and thus decrease his
taxes due, by the simple expedient of
increasing his net income, adding
dividends from domestic corporations
and interest of Federal securities.
This has the effect of increasing the
net income only for the purpose of
allowing larger 10 per cent earned
income credit, but it does not mean
that taxes have to be paid in the
dividends so reported.
Married persons this year should re-
member, it Is pointed out, that If a
joint return is filed, both man and
wife must sign. 1t is not necessary,
however, for both to appear in person
at the office Of deputy collector to
swear to the return. The husband, If
he has made out the return. may bring
1t in, swear to it, and then return
it to his wife at home, for her sigma
ture, and then drop it in the mail.
All income tax returns are due on
or before March IS, midnight, with at
least one-quarter of the tax. Returns
may be mailed to the Collector of In
ternal Revenue, Baltimore, Nd, or
filed at the Office of the deputy collec-
tor, Room 1902. Internal Revenue
Building, corner Twelfth street and

morrow, tax experts will be stationed

here the hours now are from 9 am.

the office will remain open until mid

Although there is a bitter fight in
Congress over attempts to repeal the
pink slip" publicity feature of the
1884 act, taxpayers are advised to fill
out and sign these pink slips. This is
necessary until that part of the act is
repealed.

Gen. Henry H. Denhardt, who led 700
Kentucky National Guardsmen into
Harlan County last Saturday to patrol
the primary election, today was sum-
moned to explain to a grand jury his
assertions that troops thwarted q
pilot" to steal the election"
Commemorative Attorney Daniel

Denhardt to appear August 19. On
the same day, Denhardt has been
cited by Circuit Judge James M. Gil
bert to show cause why he should not
be punished for contempt of court.
The contempt citation was based
on charges by Sheriff T. r. Middleton
of Harlan County that Denhardt vio-
lated a restraining order issued to
keep State troops from occupying the
county.
The grand jury summons and court
citation reflected bitterness in the
campaigns of Thomas S. Rhea and

RECORDS TELL STORY.
York Citation Says He Led 18 Men in
Taking Battalion.

Taking Battalion.
BY the Associated Press.
War Department records shed some
light yesterday on the contention of
the Connecticut American Legion that
Sergt. Bernard Early accomplished
the feat for which Sergt. Alvin York
has been called the outstanding hero
of the World War.
The citation which accompanied
award of Distinguished Service
Cross to Early said his excellent lead
ership effected a successful surprise
attack by II men against 200 Ger
mans. 1t explained Early was wound
ed severely by machine gun fire, but
that his conspicuous gallantry" in
spired the remainder of his command
to fight on until all of the enemy were
either killed or taken prisoner.
York's citation for the Congression-
al Medal of honor said that on the
same day and in the same locality,
after three other n-commissioned
officers had become casualties. he as
sumed command. With seven men,
the citation said, York charged a ma
chine gun nest, taking it and captur-
ing officers and l28 men.
Department records show that rec
ommendation Of the Congressional
Medal of Honor for Early was con-
sidered when the Military Board was
studying his case, but that the other
award was deemed sufficient.
