Injustice stirs the heart of God to
action. We can see this in what God
did for that unmarried mother and
child, Hagar and Ismael.
Driven by the furious jealousy OF
Abrams wife, Hagar, famished and
exhausted, dropped the limp form OF
her unconscious child under shading
bush and cried out to whatever God
might help her.
There was a God who heard her
cry and answered it. He directed her
attention to what she had not seen
before. Nearby before her astonished
ewes, was a we'll of water, cool and
refreshing!
1t makes no difference however far
YOU might be lost in some wasteland
of disasterous h6man experience, or
however prostrating might be the
screening heat of trials, disappolnt-
ments, and discouragements into
which life has cast you, God has for
you too we'll of grace from which
YOU can draw waters of refreshment.
These wells are those precious
Scriptural promises, such as: MY
grace is sufficient for you"
One day when much discouraged,
my thoughts were lead to this pas
sage: "But my God shall supply all
your need according to His riches in
glory by Christ Jesus"
4 AS 1 meditated upon this passage,
/ began to feel that God was going
to see me through. There came to me
a renewing of confidence to face and
to cope with the discouragment into
which had been thrown.
It is simply glorious to think that
there is no encouragement too over
whelming but that in it the Divine
Compassion can not open for you
some we'll of sustaining grace!
Drink deeply of Gods Promises and
the misfortunes of life shall never be
able to overcome you.

CAMBRIDGE MAN Is
PRISONER OF THE JAPS

Harry Gray Handy, Store-keeper,
First Glass, son of Mr.. and Mrs Har-
ry Handy, of West End Avenue, Cam
bridge, was reported, today, by the
Associated Press as among those who
were taken prisoners of war, when
the island of Guam, in the Pacific
Ocean, surrendered to the Japanese,
after a brave and gallant fight, a.
gainst great odds.
Young Handy graduated from the
Cambridge High School, in the Glass
of 1884. He Immediately accepted a
position at the Cambridge Wire Cloth
Company, but resigned December 5,
1884, to enlist in the u. S. Navy, with
the Pacific Fleet. He continued on sea

was given shore duty, at Guam, as
Store-keeper, Third-Class In less

Store-keper First Glass, which posi-
ton he was holding when the island
was surrendered.
Since that time the only communi-
cation Mr.. and Mrs. Handy have had
from their son has been through the
Navy Department.

Higgins Plans Cargo Plane
LARGER Than Kaiser's

Andrew j. Higgins, New Orleans
shipbuilder, here to confer with
officials over plans to build a new
type of cargo plane, said this aft
ernoon that his proposed carrier
would be much larger than the
huge flying boat which Henry J.
Kaiser has been authorized to con-
struct on an experimental basis at
West Coast plant.
Mr.. Higgins was reticent regard
ing details of his plane, but he said
1t could be made either as a flying
boat or land craft or both, add
ing that the plans had been fully
worked out by aeronautical engi-
neers.
Mr.. Higgins suggested that an ex-
cellent site for his plant would be
the shipbuilding plant in New Or
leans which the Maritime Commits
sion relinquished after Higgin
contract to build 200 Liberty ships
was Cancelled. Cancellations of the
merchant ship contract was the
subject of inquiry by a congressional
committee.
The shipbuilder did not reveal
with whom he was comforting, but
he, was expected to see officials of
the War Production Board, perhaps
Chairman Donald M. Nelson, and
Army and Navy authorities.

Senate Backs
Drastic Rise in
Income Taxes
Rates Would Sturt
At l9 Cents Out of ST
In Lowest Bracket.
Earlier Story on Page Ally

tEarller story on rage ALL
The Senate today tentatively
approved drastically increased
individual income tax rates
which would take 10 cents out of
the first taxable dollar in the
lowest bracket.
The approval was subject to later
review or possible amendment. 1t
came during consideration, one by
one, of Finance Committee amend
ments to the huge new revenue bill.
After all the committee amend
ments are considered the measure
will remain open to further amend
ment proposals by individual Sem
atorS
In approving individual rates pre-
viously voted by the House the
Senate raised the normal tax from
4 to 6 per cent and increased the
first bracket surtax rate from 6 to
13 per cent. In sharp graduations
the surtax rate rises to maximum
OF 80 per cent, compared with a top
of II per cent under present law.
Family Exemptions Reduced.
Broadening the base to add about
1000, 900 new taxpayers, the Senate,
as we'll as the House, voted to re-
duce exemptions of family heads
from 81 500 to $1,000 and for single
persons from $3.50 to $500.
In addition, the Senate voted to
cut the credit for dependents from
$500 to $500, adding an estimated
$1,000 more taxpayers to the rolls.
The House had made no change in
the credit for dependents.
The new schedule of exemptions
means that single persons making
more than 1852 a week and mar
ried persons making $23O8 or more
will be subject to the income tax.
Members of the armed services
who are below the grade of commits
stoned officers, however, would re-
ceive additional exemptions-$25O
more than civilian, if single, and
$500 more If married. The House
had voted to grant the additional
military exemptions regardless of
rank.
Victory Levy Not Included.
Still further demands would be
made on individuals under the S per
cent Victory Tax on gross incomes
above specific exemption of 1924
year. The victory levy, however is
yet to be considered in subsequent
section of the bill.
AS the reading clerk ran through
committee amendments to the meas
ure, Chairman George of the
Finance Committee agreed to put
over certain controversial amend
ments on request of various Sen
ators.
Senator McNary, Republican, of
Oregon, asked for delay in con-
slderation of taxing of income from
future issues of State and local
bonds.
Senator LaFollette, Progressive, of
Wisconsin, asked that the corporate
tax section be passed off, after serv-
ing notice he would move to make
the combined net and surtax rate
on corporations total IS per cent in
stead of the 40 per cent the COM
mlttee approved.
