that caused remembrance of hap

Through a forgotten hazard of the

quickly found new tenants, a small
evangelistic group, who proceeded
to hold services there. During a

YOUR FEDERAL INCOME TAX
Those Who Must File a Return for
Federal Income Tax Purposes

Ecuerdl fHCoiiie INK fufpOSeS
For Federal income tax purposes,
widows, widowers, divorces, and
married persons separated by mu-
tual consent are classed as single
persons. These, with those who
have never been welded, whose
gross income was $500 or more,
must file an income tax return.
Every married person, living with
husband or wife, if no joint return
is made, who has a gross income
Of $4,000 or more, must also file an
income tax return. If the husband
and wife each has an income, and
their aggregate gross income is
$4,000 or more, they must file an
income tax return. Husband and
wife living together at the close of
the taxable year may file a single
joint return (even though one has
no gross income), or make sep
arate returns of the income of
each. If separate returns are filed,
one may not report income which
belongs to the other, but must re-
port only the income which actual
~ belongs to him. If a joint re-
turn is filed, the aggregate income
disclosed is subject to both the nor
NAL tax and the surtax. The LA
bility with respect to the tax on a
joint return is joint and several. A
joint return may not be made if
either husband or wife is a nonres-
ident alien.
If joint return is not made by
an agent of the taxpayers, it must
be signed by both husband and
wife and sworn to before a proper
officer 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 and wife, the joint per-
sonal exemption of $4,000 may be
taken by either or divided between
them in any proportion as agreed
upon.
Husband and wife may elect each
year to file joint return or sep
arate returns. Where, however,
joint or separate returns have been
filed for a particular year, neither
husband nor wife may, after the
due date of return, file an amended
return or returns on a different
basis for that year.

Everyone Con
Conquer Sfuge-Frighf

l. VERYONE, at one time or
L. another, has experienced
stage fright. Needless, worrisome,
and annoying, this defect in public
appearance, can beeasily controlled.
Dwight Watkins and Harrison
Kerr have given the readers of the
January Good Housekeeping the in
side tract on how to cure stage
fright. The question of memory, they
say, is all important, and they have
listed several rules, which, if prac-
tised, will insure confidence and
avoid stage fright:
1. A speech should be rehearsed as
many times as possible.
2. Various ways should be devised
to make the speech vivid in the
speakers mind.
8. The speech, either in outline or in
fully developed form, should be
learned as a whole rather than
in parts.
4. All periods devoted to learning a
speech should be interspersed
with intervals of rest.
5. The rest period should be one of
mental quiet.
6. The speech should always be
gone over, at least mentally, just
before it is given.
z. No speaker should ever attempt
to say anything that he doesn't
understand.
The Scriptures say that slug
gard will come to want.
