Income Tax WARNING

Even if you before made income tax return
you be required to make in March, get ready
Only the 100000 people who made returns in l940 will
receive blanks from the Treasury department But another
100000 will have file returns this year though they
did before and therefore will receive blanks 1t
is up to them to get the blanks themselves.
The more-than-doubled number making return is due
to the fact that this year every individual having gross
income of $500 married people living together
with combined gross income of So 600 must file
return. Hitherto the figure determining whether filed

900 people expected to file return this year will have
pay tax when exemptions taken and calculations
made. But the return must be made nevertheless.

remind them. and it's not too to begin getting to-

The presidents personal legal
advisers profess no fear of the
court, after a closeup study of
its decision in the alien registra-
ton case. In that matter, by a
vote of six to three, the high
tribunal took an extremely ma
tionahstic view of present-day
problems and needs. Its action
attracted far less attention than
its Importance deserved.
The case involved a Pennsyl-
vania law for state registration
of aliens. Though submitted to
the court as a routine census
measure, 1t was essentially an
exercise OF police power by a
sovereign commonwealth. The
federal government maintained
that the national law for listing

vanis s-and the court found for

HOROSCOPE
WEDNESDAY. JAN. 20

After the early hours today
benefic aspects dominate. This
is a fortunate configuration for
both employers and employees, a
date for intensive activities.
Heart and Home: Women are
under a somewhat adverse rule
of the stars today. They may
be nervous and irritable. They
should follow everyday paths
and delay all initiative. The
stars frown upon feminine van
tiles; fashions will encourage the
cultivation of natural charms.
Whatever is artificial is to be
dropped in the modes of the fu-
ture. Many girls are To wear
the uniforms of public service.
Business Affairs: Impetus for
defense preparations will be
given by any act of evil portent.
Midwinter storms may rethrd
transportation on railways and
danger of losses at sea il fore
cast. Cooperation between big
business and the government
will be most efficient at this
time when the stars presage
harmony among labor leaders.
Industry is under the most slim
ulating planetary direction. Rise
in the cost of living will be
slight when compared with the
economic upheavals in various
parts of the world.
National Issues: Influence of
political machines in certain
states will cause the people to
demand that there shall be no
interference with government
methods of meeting problems
arising from the world crisis. II
is foretold the necessity of
cleaning house in many cities
where INSCRIPTIONS bosses rule
will be urged with threats of
force. Honesty that eliminates
graft from the national scheme
of things is to contribute much
to the safety OF the nation.
International Affairs: Turkey
has grave outlook for this
year although the moons trine
TO the sun in Cancer promises
strength through the next two
years. Astrologers call the fu-
ture OF the country exceedingly
complex" One seer foresees
the possibility of its position as
a bridge between Soviet Russia
and the western democrscies.
Whatever happens 10 this coun-
try il is probable, according to
the stars. that the Axis never
can dominate 1t for any length
OF time.
Persons whose birthdate il Is
will feel mixed and conflicting
planetary influences through the
coming years. Unusual social
and business activities are fore
cast with the good out-balancing
the evil.
Children born on this day
probably will be very fortunate
through life. Those born in the
afternoon will be especially
lucky. Social and financial sue
cess are foretold.
