A head of family is defined by
lncome-tax regulations as "an in
dlvidual who actually supports
and maintains in one household
one or more persons who are
closely connected with him by
blood relationship, relationship by
marriage, or by adoption, and
whose right to exercise family con-
troll and provide for these depend
ent individuals is based upon some
moral or legal obligation" The ex-
emption allowed head of fami-
ly is $1,000. The phrase "in one
household may be interpreted as
meaning the taxpayers personal
residence, an apartment, rooms in
a boarding house, hotel, etc.
Under certain circumstances it
is not necessary that the taxpay-
er and his dependents live under
one roof during the entire taxable
year in order that the taxpayer
may be allowed the exemption. If
the common home is maintained
and the parent is away on buSi-
ness or child is away at school
Imperial Valley press., 1937-02-08

or on a visit, the exceptions allow
able. Moreover, if parent is
Obliged to maintain his dependent
children with relatives or in a
boarding house, while he lives
elsewhere, the exemption still ap-
plies. If. however, without neces-
sity, the dependent makes his
home elsewhere, the benefactor is
not the head of a family.
The same rule is applicable to
the term living together" in the
case of husband and wife. If
occasionally and temporarily the
the husband is away on business or
the wife on visit, the common
home being maintained, the $2,500
exemption still applies. The un-
aVoidable absence of husband or
wife at a sanatorium does not
preclude the exemption. But if
the husband continuously makes
his home at one place and the
wife at another, they are not liv-
ing together within the meaning
of the revenue act.

colorful musical comedy, New
Faces of 1887" which opens at
RKO Keith's today with Joe Pen
ner, Harriet billiard, Milton Berle
and Parkyakarkus in leading roles.

lions for new show opening. The
musical theme for this ensemble is
ct Goes To Your Feet" by Sammy
Fain and Lew Brown.
The next ensemble features
Thelma Leeds singing 1.-THE Widow
in Lace" a rhumba, aided by the
Loria Brothers, seven little Mexi-
can boys who sing, dance and play

expected to become a national
dance craze.
