But the Japanese have three req sons to believe that we will leav' them to attack unmolested:
 l. President Roosevelt has just said he did not expect war with Japan.
 ?. Japan could bomb and per- haps parachute-attack the Philip pines fro ercircling bases: For mesa, 500 miles; Hainan, 600; Camranh Bay, 300; Saigon, 88; Spratly and Palau Islands, 600 and 900.
 3. The Philippines are hard to defend from land invasion-so hard that tn President was strong ly advised last spring either to evacuate them or strengthen them We have strengthened them = some. Only very lately American Regulars there (about Is, ,000) were ordered increased; native Consta- bulary doubled .lto 12,O00); Ary wives ordered home.
 The new Filipino army of 20,0O' has ordered out 125. 900 under-equip ped if well-trained native reserves and new torpedo spee0boats
 The U. s. Navy has filtered ou to the islands endorsements for it! 30-odei deStroyers and submarine! which, with a couple of light cruis. CTS, are intended to delay any enc my fleet.
 The Japanese fleet has a shorter distance to sail (oIlly 800 miles iron Camranh Bay to the Philippines than the 5000 miles from Hawaii c 1000 from California that ours mus comeAtwelve sturdy but slightly anachronistic battleships againsh Japan,s eleven newer ones. Lacking a first-class base in the Philippines capital ships would have to return to Hawaii for refit. Naval patro planes and army bombers have beer Hitting Manilaward, but firstlin aircraft there today are probabl. not numerous.
 With Japan creeping down tn coast of Indo-C China, these Philip pine defenses look dubious. Mos American experts opinion is tlla Japan could take the Philippines And the task of recapturing then would be doubly difficult -inchinl back across the Pacific, capturing one Japanese-hld island after an other!
 It is known that the President advisors have pointed this difficul situation out to him plainly. Tha is why the advice to him was get out"

Rev. Hubert P. CaFTig, of COl- chester, Roman Catholic chaplain Of the 2Osth Coast Artillery, anti aircraft, of Hartford, which is training at Camp Edwards, Fal- mouth, Mass, was flown tO West Palm Beach, Florida, yesterday to be at the bedside of his former pastor, Rev. James H. KilIian of Bridgeport, who was taken i'll while on vacation there. Father Carrig was formerly stationed at the Church Of the Blessed Sacra- lnent here.
 Father Killian, who developed peritOnitis following an appen- dectomy soon after his arrival there on Monday, was described as flair" Wednesday night by officials of St. Ma1y's hospital.
 Father Carrig heard about the serious condition of Father KiI- Han late Tuesday night and at 1 a. m. reached Brigadier- Gem eral Reginald B. DeLacour, ad- jutant- general, by telephone. Gen. eral DeLacour made arrangements with Major Harry w. Generous, commander of the 11Sth Observa- tion Squadron, for a plane, which was flown to Camp Edwards by First Lieutenant Horace B. Wctherell.
 Lieutenant WethereII brought the chaplain to Hartford at dawn and when the national guard bureau at Washington opened, the circumstances were explained and permission granted the lieu tenant to fly Father Carrig to Florida. The plane took off again for West Palm Beach at noon.

The fourth of six shOEt artt-
 cIes Outling the most common
 erros of income tax payers.
 By NEA Service
 This years are really the first income tax returns in which social security taxes figure. So remerber this:
 What has been deducted from your pay for social security taxes Is part of your pay, and is taxable. So in figuring your pay, include the dedlctions for social security taxes, even thought you didn't get the money directly. The government re- gards these deductions as your say- ings, and they are taxable. So don't try to deduct them.
 The phrase income tax paid at the source" has been cause of confusion. Some people who paid 1889 income taxes in 1940 want to deduct that amount on their 194O return, thinking that is what is meant by income tax paid at the source" It isn't that at all. There is no deduction allowed for the income tax you pay to the federal government. Income tax paid at the source" refers to certain bonds and dividends from which the com pany paying them deducts income tax payments before they pay you.
 If both husband and wife make a return, be sure the names are the same as those on the payroils where both work, Fox instance, a man makes return for John Jones and his wife, Susie Smathers Jones. Susie works. The joint return should include what she makes, too. But maybe Susie is coy about her marriage and is on the payroll as Susie Smathers. So when the re- venue people check up, they look for Susie Smathers' return and

display the same physical pecul-
iarities, though separated as to
environment.
An instance Of two identical
twins who displayed the same re-
spouse to a given outside influence
is a reported case of vaccination.
Two days after vaccination of
these Identical twins, four pust-
ules appeared, in identical posi-
tons on the skin. Three days
later, two more puctules appeared
on each, and n pustule ap-
peared in front Of the left ear of
each twin. All the pustules on
both disappeared on the same day
and the vaccination scar was ex-
actly the same shape and size in
each.
Identical Twins
Identical twins are seldom
reared separately but when they
are, even with entirely different
environments their characteristics
are the same. Newman has re-
corded the history of a pair of
twins, II brought up in London,
England, one in Ontario, Canada.
When they met twenty odd years
after their separation, they found
they both had the same tastes,
both had hasty tempers, both
worried about the same things.
One had had a better education
and his intelligence quotient was
higher, which indicates that en-
vironment affects the intellect
mor than the emotions. This is
typical of many case histories of
identical twins separated in child
hood which Newman records in
his book "Twins: 4 Study of
lIercdity and Environment"
Twins do not dress alike entire
ly to confuse people: they like the
same colors and patterns. know
n of a pair Of twin brothers.
They live at opposite ends Of the
country. Nearly every year they
travel to visit their mother on her
birthday. Time after time, when
they arrive, without any COM
munication or agreement having
passed between them. they will be
wearing the same colored ties.

Strange Happenings in the
Lives of Identical Twins

Twins undoubtedly run in 4ami.
lies though not as markedly as
sometimes supposed. Twin birth,
occur once in 80; triplets once in
1000. DR.. Detweler Of the L. s.
Department of Agriculture has
published the record of the Ber-
thelet family, which he has traced
in great detail since 1855. Out Of
1888 individuals whose birth rec
ords can be found, there were %
sets Of twins, about one-third
more than the average.
The most fascinating feature
of the studies Of twins, to me, is
the fact that so many pairs have
the same length of life. If they
die natural deaths-that is, not
accidental, which includes deaths
from an infectious disease like
pneumonia, we have many in
stances of their dying on the same
day and even on the same hour,
Such facts tend to support the
theory that what you do to your
body does not make nearly as
much difference as what the vigor
of the life force was when you
were started on this earthly jour-
ney.
The foremost American student
of twins from a biological stand.

University of Chicago.
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
E. A. "Please give US
through your column some advice
about bunions. They are so pain
full and disfiguring. My own ex-
perience has been the change in
bone structure has thrown the
foot out Of normal posture and
the calf muscles and back are
affected. After a full-hedged bum
ion has developed, what would be
your advice? Is surgery success
full? Is recovery from the opera

Answer You are perfectly
right that bunions will deform the
foot and affect the calf muscle and
back. Orthopedic surgeons and
podiatrists are perfectly capable
of handling bunions satisfactorily
in all stages. There is no reason
why there should be prolonged suf-
ferlng or distigurement. Surgery
Is successful in many cases and
