CAPITOL THEATRE FEATURE ENDING
 THIS EvENIN C
Ifs a Wonderful WorId" Co., stars CIaudette CoI-
 bert, J. Stewart

Not since she romped away with the Academy Award honors as the heroine of ".It Happened One Night" has Claudette Colbert, star ring with James Stewart in Its a Wonderful World at the Capi- tol Theater, been seen in a role so perfectly matched to her talents for spirited and yet utterly hare brained comedy This feature ends a three-day run tonight.
 And certainly the picture is a happy adventure for James Stew art who steps so briskly and de- lightfully from the arms of Car ole Lombard in Made for Each Other" to the charms of Clau- dette Colbert in this zany comedy.
 Claudette Colbert is at her most scatterbrained in the role of the poetess, Edwina Corday High hilarity ensues when Stewart, as a former football player and amateur detective teams forces with Miss Colbert to solve a murder mystery. While he reasons she rhymes h. nocently involved in the murder himself, Stewart enlists Miss Col bert's aid in tracking down the real murdered in order to save an oft-married but innocent millioo- aire playboy from the galloWs.
 By daring exploits and clever deductions the pair bring the guilty parties to justice but go through narrowing. hairbreadth experiences in their efforts, though Stewart finds that the path Of true love does lead him to a spot where he actually has to sock Miss Colbert on the jaw

Your Income
 Tax Returns
Certain Exemptions Allow. ed Married Couples
 in Taxable Year

Taxpayers should note that under the Internal Revenue Code the credit for dependents as well as the per- sonal exemption is required to be porated 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 a month.
 For example, single man and single woman who were married on July 20, 1889, and lived together during the remainder of the year would be entitled to a personal ex- emption of $2,20834 in a joint re- turn for the calendar year 1889, which amount is seven-twelfths of $1 900 for the husband while single, plus seven-twelfths of $1 ,000 for the wife while single, plus five-twelfths of 1900 for the period during which they were married. If separate re- turns are filed, each is entitled to a person exemption of $1, 1,10417, which is seven -twelfths of S1,000, plus one- half of five twelfths of $2,500
 If during the year 1889 the hus- band or the wife had the status of tl,a l,aoJ of o fo ,,,ilxy ,,r;o, +D ft,o;x marriage, he or she would be en- titled to his or her prorata share of the personal exemption of $2,500 al- lowed the head of family for the period prior to their marriage in- stead of merely that allowed single person.
 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 allowable in the case of couple who were married and living to- gether during the entire year may not exceed $2,500.
 If child under Is years of age and dependent upon 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 ex- ample, should the child's eighteenth birthday fall on June 30, the parent would be entitled to claim S200 credit for the dependent child that is, one-hal fof S400. The same rule ap- plies to other dependents where a change of status occurs during the taxable year.
