ter of fact, the reaction Is so

has made study of the care they

corning the immunization of the

He further believes that a cam

Despite the nursery precautions

MILDER RULES
ASKED IN CHAIN
STORE MEASURE
Compromise Set of Prac-
tees Suggested for Strict
Patman Bill.

Times Srrcidl
WASHINGTON, Feb. 28.-A COM
promise SCI of fair trade practices,
outlawing unfair quantity discounts
and allowances and below-cost
sales. was offered to Congress to-
day in place of the strict Patman-
Robinson anti-chain store bill.
The proposed new rules, drafted
by committee representing six of
the largest retail and wholesale
food and grocery trade associations,
Including the chain-store groups,
Will be sent to the House and SEN
ate Judiciary committees in charge
OF such legislation.
The Senate committee already
has reported the Patman- Robinson
bill favorably and it may be called
up in few days for passage. In
this event, the new proposals may
be offered as amendments on the
noor. Polls have indicated the bill
ss reported would pass the Senate.
Either proposal would have wide
effect on the 40-billion- dollar -a-year
retail business of the country. The
compromise proposals, completed by
the inter-industry committee in
New York this week, were drafted
either for legislation, or for trade
commission conference agreement,
but tie immlnence of legislation
probably will put II before Congress
for action soon.
The new proposal aims at four
major marketing practices which
have been subjected to abuse, ac-
cnrding to its proponents. Three of
these-quantity discounts, advertis-
ing allowances and brokerage allow
ances-are covered in more drastic
terms by the Patman- Robinson bill,

ent group of wholesalers, the U. S.

Marie, tiniest of the babies, was
first to receive the injection of
toxoid. She didn't like it and
cried a little. But Annette,
Emile, Cecile and Yvonne showed
great curiosity.
They laughed and chartered,
and showed not the slightest fear
or discomfort while the toxoid
was being administered. Their ex-
ample seemed to assure Marie,
and on the second injection she
showed no sign of discomfort,
smiling up proudly at DR.. Dafoe.
BY the time the third treat
ment came around, just recently,
it had become a game, and all five
chartered and laughed, watching
every movement of the doctors
practiced hands.
When he had finished the first
injections, DR.. Dafoe explained
his decision to immunize.
nIPHTHERIA is the most
- serious of the common
childhood diseases" he said.
Protection by means of toxoid
is safe, simple and effective.
"All children should be given
the toxoid at an early age, for it
is between and 5 that it takes
its most terrible toll. You may
be sure that if I felt there was
any danger or possible harm,
would not have taken a chance
with those precious lives"
In Indiana death rates for
diphtheria were first computed in
1882. The disease works in cycles,
figures have shown, and the last
high year was 1921 when the rate
reached "a deaths a 100000.
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1936-02-28

Other high years were 1852 and
1888.
DR.. Harvey firmly believes that
if parents would recognize the
importance ot immunization the
disease could be stamped cut in
Indiana, and that when the next
cycle comes around in 10 years
the rate would show a decided
drop.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2S.-Con-

COAL SHORT AGE
 HERE SECUTED
Middle West Hit By One; City Nearer to Coal
 Fields

Officials of several of the city's retail coal companies today secuted reports that the coal shortage which has hit the middle west was to extend to Connecticut. Although conditions in the mines have been worse during the current year than they have for many years, there IS plenty of anthracite mined and above the ground, ready for imme- diate shipment to local consumers.
 The comparative nearness of Wa serbury to the coal fields assures the city of plentiful supply of fuel. Heavy snows of the past few weeks have made transportation difficult to the midwest.
 Several telegramS from mining companies received by dealers here indicate the severity with which the industry has been hit by storm and bitter cold. One received here last week reads:
 '.Conditions in the coal fields this week are the worst in history. The temperature has dropped as low as 90 degrees below zero, preventing the mines from operating, and tn some cases the railroads have failed to deliver cars. Two freight trains are completely snowbound and one of the largest mines has been un- able to work a single week since the onset of the cold spell"

GEORGE B. SHAW
 SPOKE AT MIAMI
Scrap Constitution Is His Advice - Roosevelt Is
 Good President

Miami, Fla, Feb. 5- UP)- George Bernard Shaw explained what was wrong with America but held little hopes today that his ad- vice to scrap the United States con- stitution would be followed. As the famous playwright peered from un- der 8 pair of shaggy eyebrows and told interviewers what this nation needs most is to chuck" Its consti- tuition, he added: Roosevelt is try ing to do something" he asserted, but a bad constitution gets the bet ter of @ good president. I told you in New York you should abolish your constitution. Nobody paid any at- tention to me. Every attempt that is made to do anything, the supreme court stops. I tell you again, get rid of your constitution"
 Soon Have It. in Rags
 T suppose, though" he added, you'll go on doing 1t by one. amend ment after another until you have 1t in rags" The tall, white-haired Briton, accompanied by his wife, is on 75-day cruise that will take him through Atlantic, Caribbean and Pa cific waters. Miami was the first American stop of the s. s. Arandora Star. aboard which they are making the cruise. They leave tomorrow for Cuba and Panama. Asked If he thought King Edward would marry, Shaw replied tartly:
 How on the face of the earth should I know? He got into middle life without marrying, so there is no need for him to do so now" he added.
 At a Chamber of Commerce re- ception, Shaw had no sooner been greeted than he told them, in his typical manner that he didn't like Miami.
 When I came along the channel all your motor cars began blowing their horns and making horrible noise. In the future" he counselled, when you have distinguished visi- tors you should not make such hor- rible noises"
 He put a quietus on a suggestion that a tree be planted in his honor by saying, T am in my S0th year and by the time 8 tree grows up mo- body will have heard of Bernard Shaw"

YOUR INCOME TAX
NO. 9 Exemptions Allowed Couples Mar ried During Taxable Year
NO. 9

Exemptions Allowed Couples Mar.
 rled During Taxable Year
 Taxpayers should note that under the Revenue Act of 1884 the credit for dependents as well as the per- sonal exemption is required to be prorated where a change of status occurs during the taxable year and that these credits are allowable not only for the purpose of com- putting the normal tax rate, but also the surtax. A fractional part of month is to be disregarded unless it amounts to more than half O month, in which case 1t Is consid- cred a month.
 For example, single man and a single woman who were married on July 20, 1885, and were living to- gether on the last day of the tax able year, may file a joint return. If they file their return or returns on the basis of the calendar year, they would be entitled to personal exemption of $2,20s.34, which is seven -twelfths of $i,000 for the hus- band while single plus sever- twelfths of $1,000 for the wife while singe, plus five-twelfths of $2,500 for the period during which they were married. If separate returns are filed, each is entitled to per- sonal exemption of $l,l04.l7, which is seven-twelfths of $l,000, plus one half of five-twelfths of $2.500. If during the year 1885 the husband or the wife had the status of the head of family prior to their marriage he or she would be entitled to his or her pro rata share of the person. al exemption of $2,500 allowed the head of family for the period prior to their marriage instead of merely that allowed single person. How ever, for the period of their mar riage any exemption to which either might be entitled as the head of Q family would be merged in the joint personal exemption for that period. The joint personal exemption ale lowable in the case of . couple who were married and living together during the entire year may not ex- ceed $2.500.
 If a child under IS years of age and dependent on the parent for support reaches the age of 1S years during the taxable year, the credit of $4O0 for a dependent is required to be pro-rated in the same man ner as the personal exemption. For example. should the childs 18th birthday fall on June 30. the parent would be entitled to claim $2OO credit for the dependent child-that is, one-half of 500. The same rule applies to other dependents where change of status occurs during the taxable year.
