reply upon the providing God!
Men can never be contented when
worried about the future or harassed
by the fear of poverty. But when a
man puts his covetous nature upon the
altar of God and accepts in utmost
confidence this warranty bond of Pro-

needful, he becomes released from ten

While others rush through the day
in fretful dissatisfaction and in ner-

a blessed release that has enabled me

what God has already permitted me
to have!

OuULcISNAlAC,
I discovered one day the secret of
contentment. 1 came upon the key
while digging in the hidden truth of
the Holy Scriptures. l found it under
this passage from "Hebrews": "Let
your conversation be without covetous
ness; and be content with such things
as we have; for He hath said, 1 will
never leave thee, nor forsake thee"
This passage is Divine Promise
Of providence and provision, spoken to
the soul by the God of Infinite Love
and exhaustless power!
And here is the key that discover
ed! It is the truth revealed by this
promise that contentment lies not in
what a man has, but in his ability to

YOUNG CITIZEN
FINDS DIFFICULTY
in RETURNING
Writes "FemaIe" Instead Of
'EMale" In His Recorded
Birth Certificate

The difficulties a young American
now a resident of Poland, is experience
ing in returning to Maryland-his ma
tive state-because the physician in
attendance at his birth, twenty years
ago, wrote "female" instead of "male'
on the birth certificate recorded al
the State Bureau of Vital Statistics
are outlined below by DR.. R. H. Riley
Director of the State Department OF
Health. Through the combined eff
forts of the Bureau of Vital Statistics
the young mans family, the family
physician, and the priest of the church
in which he was baptized, the story
promises to have happy ending.
Here are the facts: The young man
was born at Curtis Bay, twenty years
ago. When the boy was about seven
years old, the father took the family
to Poland. The mothers health was
not good and she and the two sons
Alexander Peter, and Adam-rsmain-
ed in Poland when the father returned
to Curtis Bay. Adam returned to
America few years ago. Now Alex
ander Peter wishes to come back, but
when the father applied for . copy OF
the birth certificate necessary to Sc
cure the required passport, he struck
q snag. The baby born on the date
specified, was registered as girl
The certificate had been executed BE-
fore Alexander Peter was named
consequently the error had not beer
dstected.
The physician in attendance At the
birth cooperated with the Maryland
Bureau Of Vital Statistics in straight
ening out the tangle; and further con-
firmation Of the fact that Alexander
Peter is male" not female" was OBJ
tanned from the baptismal records Of
the church the family attended at Cur.
tbs Bay.
"This case emphasizes" DR.. Riley
CSSAu HOW uHpO1I@nI ~ 10 w tnC AA-
dividual and the family for the ply
stefan or midwife to execute the birth
certificate promptly, completely, &C.
curately, and legibly.
81 would also urge the following
safeguards to parents:
IL. Make your choice Of q boy'l
and girls name before the child is
born. Give the correct name to the
doctor. The doctor is required by Law
to report the birth within four days
and can't wait for parents to make w
their minds.
"2 Print out the family name ant
the child's name for the doctor, other
wise it may be difficult to find thu
certificate when needed fifteen o.
twenty years later.
"S Notify the Health Department
Worcester Democrat and the ledger-enterprise. (Pocomoke City, Md.) 1921-1953, 1936-11-20

if you do not receive correct regis
tration notice within forty-five days
after the birth of the child.
"a Notify the Health Department
in case the name of the family or the
child is changed. Such changes re-
quire the approval of Judge of the
Court and other legal procedure"

Your Income Tax
PERSONAL EXEMPTIONS.

In addition to the personal exemp-
ton of $1,000 for single persons and
$4,000 for married persons living to-
gether and for heads of families,
taxpayer is entitled to a credit of $4oo
for each dependent. defined by in
come-tax law and regulations as a
person under l8 years of age or in
capable of self-support because men,
tally or physically defective. The
term mentally or physically defec-
tive" means not only cripples and
those mentally defective. but persons
in III health and the aged.
In order to be entitled to the S400
credit. the taxpayer must furnish the
dependent his or her chief support.
The credit is based upon actual finan-
cial dependency and not mere legal
dependency. For example. a father
whose children receive half or more Of
their support from trust fund or
other separate source is not entitled
to the credit.
Neither relationship nor residence IS
factor in the allowance of the s400
credit for dependent The taxpayer
and the dependent may be residents Of
different cities. If husband and wife
both contribute to the support of a
dependent, the s400 credit may be
taken by the one contributing the
chief support, and may not be divided
between them.
A single person vino supports in his
home an aged mother is entitled not
only to the $400 credit for dependent
but also to the personal exemption Of
$4,000 as the head of a family. A
widower supporting under similar cir
cumstances a dependent child under
18 years of age also is entitled to the
personal exemption of $4,000 as the
head of family, plus the s40O credit
for a dependent.
Under the revenue act of 1884 both
the personal exemption and the credit
for dependents are required to be pro-
rated where the status of the taxpayer
changed during the year.

Most Potent Death Ray Tested
For Sauing of Human Liues

Although this means almost certain
death to normal humans, the physi-
cist asserted, 1t may mean just the
opposite to victims Of lukemia, the
disease in which white corpuscles grow
so fast they kill OF the life-bearing
red ones.
Feasibility Of using the rays to kill
white excess corpuscles in lukemia suf-
ferers was one test planned for the ray
gun. DR.. Kruger declared.
Another possibility, he said, was use
Of the ray to kill the wild growing
cells Of cancer and Hodgkin's disease.
The ray has already supplied an in
direct cancer treatment by producing
radioactive table salt. This acts the
same as radium. but is weaker and
therefore safer for use In cancerous
parts Of the body in capsule form.
Despite its potential Importance to
medicine, the major function Of the
ray gun lies in the field Of physics
In its power to smash atoms and learn
the secrets Of nuelear structure.

Daisy Alexander Root, sentenced to

Root.
The sentence, voted by a jury Of
married men yesterday after q sensa-

ever levied on a woman in Shelby
County. Penalties in other recent
cases where women have been the
killers have averaged from 2 to years.
w. T. McClain, district attorney
general, who handled the prosecu-
ton which brought the second-degree
murder conviction, viewed the verdict
as "a warning that women can't get
away with the old wornout plea, i
shot him because I loved him."
Mrs Root is free under $500 bond
pending hearing on her new trial mo-
tion February 20.
