 Appeal
 The full text of the appeal to Senator LaFollette is as follows:
 We urge you to arrange hearings of the subcommittee on Civil Li- berties and Labor Relations imme- diatcly to investigate present auto mobile controverSary between Gen. eral Motors Corporation and United Automobile Workers. If current re- ports of espionage, vigilante actiyi-. ties, controlled company unions and company fostered civic alliances are true, these facts deserve immediate public attention.

MARY W00LLEY
 JOINS ALUMNAE.
Former President of Mount Holyoke Against Election
 of Male Person

Boston, Feb. 4-CUP)--Mary Em- ma Wooley, 73, for 37 years pres ident of Mount Holyoke college, has indicated her approval of a cam paign to prevent induction of 8 man as her successor next June.
 In letter to an alumna. the tn- ternationally-known educator con- firmed as true charges in a flier circulated by & self-appointed alumnae committee of 100 that:
 1.-The election of Dr. Roswell Gray Ham, former Yale associate professor of English, to the pres idency was "railroaded" through the board of trustees last June.
 2.-That trustees subcommittee that selected Dr. Ham was packed"
 3.-Bequests have been and are being withdrawn in protest against election of man..
 Alumnae Letter
 The alumnae committee letter called for resignation of pr. Ham and the eight trustees on the sub committee that recommended his appointment. Two of them were of- ficers of Yale university.
 ITO the extent of my knowledge the statements on the alumnae committees arc accurate" Miss Woolley's letter read. ~They are not only accurate, but they also sug- gest trend which has been mar kedly unfortunate for women in Eu- ropean countries. .and England. AL though the women of America have been somewhat fortunate, never the less there are many instances even in this country today of fra ternar decisions to replace women by men. For the sake of other wo- men if not for ones own, noblesse oblige dictates that these evidences should not be ignored"

The Waterbury Democrat., 1937-02-04
HUSBAND AND WIFE MAY FILE JOINT OR SEPARATE RETURNS

HUSBAND AND WIFE MAY FILE JOINT OR SEPARATE RETURNS Husband and wife living together may each make separate return of the income of each, or their income may be included in a single joint return. If joint return IS filed, such return is treated as Q return of taxable unit, and the income disclosed is subject to both the normal tax and the surtax. If a joint return is not made by an agent of the taxpayers 1t must be signed by both husband and wife and sworn to before proper off, cer by the spouse preparing the return, or if neither or both pre- pare the return then by both spouses.
 Where separate returns are filed by husband wife, the joint personal exemption of $2,500 may be taken by either or divided between them in any proportion as agreed upon. Tn certain cases 1t would be to the advantage of the couple if they should file separate returns and one spouse claim the total joint per- sonal exemption. In the following examples, which illustrate this point, the husband has net in- come of $4,70O, all of which repre- gents earned net income, and the wife has a separate net income of $2,5O0, not earned net income.

This probably intensifles the human

And yet 1t is difficult to prove that
mother love among the animals stalk
ing through the Wilds of Africa, the
frozen wastes Of the North Pole, the

differs appreciably from that which
surrounds child as its birthri2ht
On the other hand, baby bees have
little to expect from virgin queen,
who resents them fiercely because she
has none of her own. Until she Is
fertilized, she does the trickiest things
In an attempt to sting them. This
may sound rather ghoulish, but think
Of the childless woman who will kid
nap anothers baby because she yearns
so fiercely for child to love and
adore.
When you 60 to the Zoo, you prob
ably get the notion that an elephant
Is such a jumbo she wouldn't know

But II you ever saw Mrs Elephant

that female elephants are pretty re-

she cannot analy1e It properly She
stumbles blindly along mean street"
because she is slovenly and pleasure
loving. But there Is one thing she
loves more feccely than anything
else in the world, and that is her
baby
But when the realization dawns
upon her that her world will ruin
her child, there is a smile OF triumph
on her face. as she steals out Of
her daughters life.
A poet once said Of mother:
"She holds couple OF draugilts
from the cup Of love to be fair pay

Perhaps this is especially true In
the animal world where Natures COM
plex system causes many insects to
die Immediately after the offspring
emerge from the eggs around which
the mothers have placed a store of
laboriously collected food. Nature, in
other words, exploits the mothers so
that the species may survive.
WITNESS Mother Otter, one OF
the denizens OF the bear tribe.
Man has done nearly everything
imaginable to extinguish the otter
but it has survived because of its
high degree Of maternal care The
otter has one litter year and the
little animals are practically help
less-and blind to boot.
What makes your mother otter so
strlkingly sscrificial in her attitude
toward her cubs? Call it ANYTHING
you like-most surely it's blind in
stinct. But there it is. She hardly
leaves the babes except to find food
for them She never has a decent

But whether nature is satisfying
her biological impulses among the in

sapiens, the drama is always there.
Caste does not modify the instincts
Of motherhood, wealth and riches pro-

whether woman is to the manor
born or whether she is doomed to a
life in the slums, the STRINGS, the
warnings, the sacrifices for her chill
dren are always uppermost. With few
exceptions, women are known to play
any game, to yield to any pranks of
fate and fortune just so that they will

never occurred to him that his mother
was once cutie too--just like his
heart interest of the moment. The
news that his mother was once the
belle of college proms, that she had
sWains aplenty, that she knew all
about stolen kisses and moonlight
would probably come as a substantial
shock
Because mother love from the mo-
ment he was born crowded all the
gayetles and pleasures into the back
ground. And watching a mother go
