a serious contender for one of the
regular outfield jobs. Defensively,
he's tops. He can 60 and get them
and has a fine arm, the best arm
among any of the Tiger fly
chasers.

Because of his arm, there has
been talk of putting Stainback in
center field, replacing Barney
McCosky, who would in that in

Yesterday in practice, Stainback

Your Income
 Tax Returns
Personal Exemptions and Credit for Dependents
 Are Explained

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 head of family, or what is a dependent. As a 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 un- derstandng 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 understood. The taxpayer should study these instructions before mak- ing out his or her return.
 The head of family, as defined by the income tax regulations, is one who, because of legal or moral obligation, supports and maintains in one household a de- pendent individual, or individuals, closely connected with him by blood, marriage, or adoption. AS such, he or she is entitled to a personal ex- emption of $2,000.
 A credit of $400 is allowed for each dependent A dependent is one under IS years of age, or one who is physically or mentally defective and incapable of self-support. lie need not live with nor be related to the taxpayer.
 If husband and wife contribute to the support of dependent, the $40O credit may be taken by the one contributing the chief support, and it may not be divided between them. Likewise, if two members of family contribute to the support of dependent, the one who con- tributes more than one-half of the support may claim the credit.
 Both the personal exemption and the credit for dependents must be reported when the status of the taxpayer changed during the year.
