Income Tax
Prepared by Bureau OF
Internal ReDenue,
Treasury Dept.
PERSONAL EXEMPTIONS AND
CREDIT FOR DEPENDENTS.

Domestic relations enter into the
making of an income tax return
This shows itself in the matter OF
personal exemptions. Too many tax
PAYERS do not understand who is
legally the head of family or what
is a dependent. AS consequence
they overpay the Government by
not claiming their proper exemp-
tions and credits. Of course the
audit of their returns discloses most
of these errors, but not all of them,
due to negligence or lack OF under
standing of the income tax law and
regulations.
Care is taken in drafting the in
structions for filling out the forms
to make them simple and easily un-
derstood. The taxpayer should study
these instructions before making out
his or her return.
The head of a family, as defined
by the income tax regulations, is one
who, because of legal or moral
obligation, supports and maintains
in one household a dependent indi-
vidual, or individuals, closely con-
nected with him by blood, marriage
or adoption. AS such he or she is
entitled to a personal exemption of
$4,000.
A credit of $400 is allowed for each
dependent. A dependent is one un-
der 18 years of age. or one who is
physically or mentally defective and
incapable of self-support. He need
not live with nor be related to the
taxpayer.
If husband and wife contribute to
the support of a dependent the $400
credit may be taken by the one con-
tributing the chief support, and it
may not be divided between them
Likewise, if two members of family
contribute to the support of de-
pendent the one who contributes
more than one-half of the support
may claim the credit.
Both the personal exemption ano
the credit for dependents must be
prorated when the status Of the tax
payer changed during the year.

at this stage never had the relative
degree of armament progress which

Will Use Poison Gas
Only as ReprisaI,
Nazis Answer Knox
Berlin Likens Roosevelt
To 'SchooIboy' in Failure
To Reod Hitler Speech
BY the Associated Press.

by Cf1e ASSOClhIeu fIcoS.
BERLIN, Feb. /. - Authorized
sources answered United States
Navy Secretary Frank Knox's allie
cations that Germany might use
gas against England by referring to
Adolf Hitler's statement at the be-
ginning of the war that he would
use only weapons as were used by
the enemy.
Mr.. Knox, testifying before the
United States Foreign Relations
Committee yesterday, said 1--WE fear"
the Germans are contemplating the
use of gas in an Imminent" In
vasion of England.
The Fuehrer's statement, au-
thorized sources said, obviated the
necessity Of any further rejoinder.
Roosevelt Likened to "Sch0olboy."
President Roosevelt was compared
by these sources with a Schoolboy
playing hockey, for not listening to
or reading Hitler's January 80
speech.
IF it is true, as reported" they
said, that Mr.. Roosevelt said he
didn't read the Fuehrer's speech be-
cause he was having a birthday, we
can only say that, with us, boys in
the lower classes at school say they
didn't attend their lessons on &C
count of their birthdays.
I'VE know, however, that usually
the American President pays close
attention to what Hitler says"
Fuehrer's Speech Cited.
The comment on Secretary Knox
testimony was based on Hitler's
pronouncement in Reichstag
speech, September l, 1889, the be-
ginning of the undeclared war on
Poland, in which authorized sources
said the Fuehrer fixed German
rules for conduct of war.
From now on, bomb will be
answered with bomb" they quoted
him. He who applies poison gas
will be fought with poison gas.
He who himself departs from the
rules of humane warfare cannot ex-
pect from us that we not take the
same step"
They said that the same view was
expressed by Hitler the following
day in answering an appeal by
President Roosevelt and in a Ger
man note to France and Britain
on the same matter September 16,
1899,

Joseph Spell. 81, colored butler ac-
cused of aSsaulting his pretty, So
cialite employer, Mrs. Eleanor Strub-
ing of Greenwich, won an acquittal
from mixed jury that deliberated
nearly 13 hours.
Urged by the State to convict and

to ignore the consequences to her if
there was reasonable" doubt of her
story, the Jury retired at 11:21 am.
(E. S. T0 yesterday. 1t reported its
verdict six minutes before midnight
Though acquitted, the short,
stockily built Spell remained behind
bars. Prosecutor Lorin w. Willis, as
soon as he heard the verdict, moved
that Spells bail of $4,000 be con-
tinued until the State determined
what course of action is to be pur-
sued" The defense did not oppose
the motion and Mr.. Willis departed
without saying what he had in mind
Brother -in-law Present.
Philip Strubing of Philadelphia,
brother-in n-law of Mrs. Strubing, was
the only member of the family
present at the verdict although her
husband, John K. Strubing, jr., New
York advertising man and former
Princeton athlete, had remained un-
til early evening.
A servant at the Strubing home
said Mrs. Strubing and her husband
left for Philadelphia early today
and would later go to Florida for a
two-week rest. Mrs. Strubing was
the former Eleanor Paul of Phila-
delphia.
The 32-year-old Mrs. Strubing
herself was in court only for the
day and half she spent on the
stand last week.
The end of the trial came quietly
Since it opened January 81, all ex-
cept lawyers and persons closely in
terested in the case had been barred
from the court, and few we're pres
ent when the jurors marched in.
MI .. NCNd N1- 11lsSlllS VI 1IcSL-
wich, fourth juror chosen, said that
at one time four of the women were
voting for a conviction and two for
acquittal.
Shortly after II pm, II members
had swung to acquittal, then the
jury requested reading of defense
testimony by Detective Sergt. John
J. Heufel of Greenwich.
Ten minutes after hearing this, a
verdict was reached.
Though both sides had presented
police and medical testimony, Judge
Carl Foster, in his hours charge to
the jury, dwelt mainly on Contra
dictory' stories of Mrs. Strubing and
Spell.
This is not case of race against
race person against person. It
Is a case of the State of Connecticut
against Joseph Spell" the Judge
said.
