Being Sick at Home
The Doctor Is the Patient and Has Fun

But, somebody says, all the
proper conveniences are at the
hospital. Well, you can rent them
at home from a sick room supply
company.
From these, you can rent hos
pital beds and mattresses, over
bed tables, nightgowns that but
ton up the back, bed pans, frac-
ture beds, and fracture cradles.
Even Bradford frames and pulley
beds for difficult fracture cases!
Wheel chairs, Of all kinds, wheel
stretchers, invalid walkers (used
to teach convalescents to walk),
back rests, infra-red lamps, mer-
curry quartz ultraviolet lamps,
short wav diathermy sets, in
halators, baby scales, rubber air
rings, crutches, canes, china, glass
ware, knives and forks and, in
fact, anything. A very sensible
idea. You're not going to be sick
all your life, you know. Your baby
needs to be weighed only while
it's a baby. Why net rent what you
need?

DRAMATIC REVIEW OF A I941
INCOME TAX BLANK
.NU Servn


"You Can't Take 1t With You" or
"Tax Blank for 1941's has had it's
presentation before the American
public, and, while it met with a
mixed response, your reviewer
would describe it as adequate. 1t
is a straight, direct, merciless, tight
ly written affair which, despite mud
ding passages here and there, gets
it's message across. That, after all,
is its purpose.
"Tax Blank for 1941" is in sense
revival. 1t follows the pattern OF
other years but has been extensive
ly rewritten, with many new lines
and some startling effects, particu-
larly that part of the narrative
where it is discovered that Jona-
than @. Doe, our hero, supposing he
gets the same exemption as in the
past for being a married man, finds
the exemption has been cut from
$4,000 to $4,000. This is an obvious
slap at matrimony, and, since it is
a widely cherished institution, we do
not think the authors have done a
service to society by belittling it in
this way.
A moment of high drama comes

Their Gettahead come face to face
with Paragraph 6, Item 7, Page 4
and find that on the same income
as they had last year they must

as much. Here is action belonging
to the sternest school of realism.

owes the government with the help
of six laWyers), is about to make
out a check when he suddenly dis
covers that congress has placed a
separate defense tax of 10 per cent
on top of all! For a moment this
reviewer thought the performance
had all the elements of a fusion of
''Hellzapoppin" and macbeth.
Screams penetrated the rafters and
seldom have such lines as "They
can't do that to me-" ''This is an
outrage" and "It's that teller in the
White House" been delivered with
such power and feeling.
There is both drama and comedy
in the later chapter when millions
of Americans in the lower income
group, who have been laughing at
the upper groupers all these years,
discover that at last they must come
across too.
All in all (and that's the way
they take it now, the production is
sure to have the usual appeal, cou-
pied with the additional response
always occasioned by the surprise
note. Your reviewer must say in
all candor that ''Tax Blank for 1941"
lacks laughs. There is hardly an
amusing line anywhere if you ex-
clude the old gag, "Were you dam
aged by fire or storm during the
last fiscal year?" But it is set for a
run lasting through to next Deem
Der Is. Nothing can stop it.
Bill Pfriender says that Mr..
Roosevelt's broadcasts these days
might be billed as Firearms
Chats
Wendell Willkie has now gone over
to the administration side so COM
pletely that some people are even
speaking of him as Wenlin Wiloo-
welt.
New York city will have popula-
ton of eight to nine million people
ultimately, an expert says. 1t is
hard to imagine that many people
running around asking questions on
how to reach destinations in New
York city.
The annual National Automobile
show has been abandoned for this
year. The public will have to find
some other good excuse for going
to the big city for two or three
day spree.
The Jackson day dinner by the
Democrats will be unity banquet.
This will require special arrange
ments to see that nobody gets hurt.
l trust Wendell Willkie doesn't get
into a bombing raid in London and
send Roosevelt a card Having aw-
full time; wish you were here!"
The only difference between our
aid to England in the last war and
in this one will be that this time
our aid will have a Upper on it.

WILLKIE CLUBS

IL WASH 11ldue pubic, DuC IIldL
meeting of Willkie club chiefs in
New York recently named a COM
mittee of IA to draw up plan for
the future of the movement.
Actually no one could agree on
definite policy. Some state leaders
reported that there was little hope
of keeping the clubs alive in their
particular bailiwicks. Others, par
ticularly in Pennsylvania, disclosed
that plan already was afoot to set
up a permanent organization of
county units to be financed by sus-
tanning membership, running all the
way from Is cents for rank-and-fle
members, to $500 for founders.
Members of the group are Robert
G.. Allen, ex-Democratic congress-
man from Pennsylvania who bolted
to Willkie; Mrs. Henry Breckin-
ridge, N. Y; Henry A. Budd, To-
peka, Kan; Arthur Bunker, N. Y;
Mrs. Marie Jay Cady, Grand Rap
ids, Mich; Russell Davenport, Will
kie "discoverer" and campaign
brain-truster; James H. Douglas
Jr., Chicago; John w. Hanes, for
mer Roosevelt undersecretary of the
treasury; William H. Hartman, Phil

do, Ohio; Oren Root, head of the
Willkie clubs; Howard M. Wall,
Portland, Ore; Cloud Wampler, Chi
cago; and James K. Watkins, De-
troit.
INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES
With the arrival of open season for
income taxes the public conscience
begins to hurt. People send money
to the treasury, with no name at
tached, to square old debts.
From San Francisco came a let
ter containing $193 and the words,
"a mistake in 1885. Penalty and in
terest at 6 per cent"
From Norwich, Conn.,, an anony-
nous taxpayer sent in SIS. From
Morris, ILL.,, blind contribution of
So. From Phoenix, Ariz., 81 .80-this
coming from a regular and frequent
contributor.
All such money goes to the treas
ury's conscience fund" Total re-
ceipts, since the time of President
Madison, $647, 563.98.

there are some very sudden

facts and associations, and very def
