 NEA Service Golf Writer Wind is decided hazard, al- though not technically regarded as such.
 You may expect to have larger score on windy day, but the rise in your scoreScan be held to mini- mum by 8 change of stance.
 When the wind is blowing from left to right, and 1t is necessary to hook to overcome the effect on the ball, draw the right foot back from the line of flight.
 If the wind is blowing from right to left an open stance should be used, and little cut given the ball. When applying slice on windy day, use a stronger club than you ordinarily would use for the same shot on a calm day. Copyright, 1888, NEA Service, Incl

ALASKA OIL PROSPECTS FRIGHTENED

Confirming reports that have persisted in the north for the last year and more word comes from San Francisco that three of the major oil companies are going to again start oil exploration work in Alaska this spring and summer About 20 years ago con- siderable work done by some of the major com panes in the Westward on oil exploration but later the projects abandoned.
 Two seasons ago the Iniskn Bay Oil Company, a California group headed by R. E. Havenstrite, re- vived interest in oil when it started operations in the Inskin Bay region of Cook Inlet actual drilling being done Chinitna Bay door to Iniskin Bay After two seasons work the company heads went south last fall reporting themselves convinced that they had struck it. Havensrite quoted here saying
 If my IT years of experience in oil drilling has taught me a thing-we have hit oil in Alaska. At 4900 feet into gas showings that get stronger as we deepened hole and finally at 5650 feet we ran into much gas mixed with strong showing of oil that we just couldn't take of it'
 Accompanying the Inskn officials north last season was geoogst representing of the major oil companies The report from San Francisco would indicate that his reports have been sufficiently en- couraging to again interest the large companies in attempting to develop oil fields in Alaska.
 According to the exclusive dispatch in The Empire yesterday the present plans call for drilling and testing well the Pacific side of the Alaska Peninsula across Shelikof Strait from Kodiak Island much the region in which exploration was carried on 20 years ago.

YOUR INCOME
 TAX
EXEMPTIONS ALLOWED COUPLES MARRIED DUR
 ING TAXABLE YEAR


 Taxpayers shou1o note that under the Revenue Act of 1886 the credit for dependents as well as the per- sonal exemption is required to be prcrated where a change of status occurs during the taxable year, and that these credits are allowable not only for the purpose of computing the normal tax but also the surtax. A fractional part of month is to be disregarded unless it amounts to more than half month in which case, it is considered month.
 For example, single man and a single woman who were married on July 20, 1937, and were living to- gether on the last day of the tax able year. may file joint return. If they file their return or re- turns on the basis of the calendar year, they would be entitled to a personal exemption of $2,20834, which is seven- -twelfths of S1,000 for the husband while single. plus seven-twelfths of s1,O0O for the wife while single, plus five-twelfths of $2,50 for the period during which they were married.
 If separate returns are filed, each , is entitled to a personal exemption of S1,104.17, which is seven twelfth of $l,000, plus one-half of five-twelfths of S2500.
 1 If during the year 1887 the hus- band or the wife had the status of the head of family prior to their marriage, he or she would be en- titled to his or her pro rata share of the personal exemption of $2,500 allowed the head of a family for the period prior to their marriage instead of merely that allowed a single person.
 i However, for the period of their marriage any exemption to which either might be entitled as the head of family would be merged in the joint personal exemption for that period.
 The joint personal exemption al- loWable in the case of a couple who were married and living together during the entire year may not ex- ceed $2,500
 If child under Is years of age and dependent on the parent for support reaches the age of Is years during the taxable year, the credit of $400 for dependent is required to be prorated in the same manner as the personal exemption.
 For example, should the childs eighteenth birthday fall on June 30, the parent would be entitled to claim $200 credit for the dependent child-that is, one-half of S4OO. The same rule applies to other depen- dents where change of status oc- curs during the taxable year
