No. '

For Federal income tax purposes, widows, widoWers, divorcees, and married persons separated by mu- utal consent are classed as single persons. These, with those who have never been welded, whose gross in- come was $750 or more for the tax able year-that is, whose gross in come was as much as $14.43 a week for the 52 weeks of the year-lnust file an income tax return. Every married person, living with husband or wife, if no joint return is made, who has gross income of $500 or more for the taxable year-that is, who has a gross income of as much as $28.85 week for the year must also file an income tax re- turn. If the husband and wife each has an income and their aggregate gross income is 1,5O0 or more for the taxable year-that is, their ag- gregate gross income is as much as $28.85 a week for the year - they must file an income tax return.
 Husband and wife living together at the close of the taxable year may file single joint return (even though one has no gross income), or make separate returns Of the in- come of each. If separate returns are filed, one may not report in- come which belongs to the other, but must report only the income which actually belongs to him. Ii a joint return is filed, the aggre- gate income disclosed is subject to both the normal tax and the sur tax. The liability with respect to the tax on joint return is joint and several.

 If a joint return is not made by all agent of the taxpayers, it must be signed by both husband and wife and sworn to before proper off cer by the spouse preparing the re- turn.
 Where separate returns are filed by husband and wife on Form 1O40, the joint personal exemption of $1,- 500 may 4oe taken by either or di- vided between them in any pro- portion as agreed upon, but if either or both spouses make re- turn on Form ,0R0A, each spouse is treated as single person and en- titled to personal exemption of $750 only.
 Husband and wife may elect each year to file joint return or separ- ate returns. Where, however, joint or separate returns have been filed for particular year, neithar hus- band nor wife may, after the due date of return, file an amended re- turn or returns on the other basis for that year.

 Scoop! The answer to the question of what the United States will do if 1t can't get any more autos or tires:
 It will learn to get along without them.
 No more new cars after the end of January; ioning of what there are No new tires except for those who can prove that they need them for war worthy purposes.
 So what? The United States must get along for while under the conditions under which much of the world has lived for years that's all It has been done, 1t can be done. There weren't any autos at all in 1900, and haven't heard that the whole country just shut up shop and went home to bed PARLoR CoURTING AGAIN
