INTERNATIONAL
NEWS REVIEW
Continued from Page u

run - whether another division of
the human world into two camps, an
armed and an unarn1ed, will guaran-
tee permanence of peace - that is
something the present generation is
unlikely to see. For history moves
very slowly.
Defeats.
At all events, the business in hand
just now is to defeat Germany and
Japan.
And Germany is, as we say,
getting it" right and left.
The Russians are administering
staggering blows to the Nazi armies,
and are coming ever closer to Poland
all the time. This means that they are
on their way toward Germany itself
and no doubt plan to invade that
country unless it decides to surrender
beforehand.
There have been some minor Rus
sian defeats lately, but compared
with the victories which the Soviet
armies have won, they are insignifi-
cant. The main fact is that the Rus
sian legions are marching ahead all
the time, the Germans retreating most
of the time.
Dark Outlook.
On the Italian front the outlook
is pretty dark too, for the Germans.
For after a period of comparative
quiet the American Fifth and the
British Eighth Armies are now de-
veloping an offensive on a scale so
gigantic that there is little prospect
of the Nazis being able to Withstand
it.
From the south and east, the
Americans are getting closer to
Rome, and from the south and
the west the British are ap-
preaching Pescara which, to them,
is station on the way - also
to Rome.
All accounts agree that the fighting
now in progress in Central Italy is
just about the fiercest on record
since the battles in Tunisia last
spring.
Japanese Losses.
In the Pacific, fighting between
Americans and Australians on one,
japanese on the other, side prog
resses with intensified violence. No
decisive results have been announced
since the American conquest of four
of the Gilbert Islands, but from New
Guinea, Bougainville, and New Brit
ain come constant reports that al
though the enemy is still able to
hold some of his positions, he is get
ting noticeably weaker all the time,
one reason for that being the fact
that the Americans are cutting his
supply lines and sinking his ships
right along. The Japanese on the far
islands in the Pacific are, practically
speaking, isolated from their home
land, and will have to surrender or
perish.

Tax Declaration
(Continued from Page -


husbands and wives both receiving
Wages).
In addition, a declaration must be
filed by any person who was required
to file an income tax return for 1912
and who expects his wages subject
to withholding in 1943 to be less than
the wages received in 1912.
Accuracy.
O. How accurate must my estimate
be?
A. It should be as accurate as you
can reasonably make it, since PEN
atty will be assessed if the tax is
underestimated by more than 20%
in the case of non-farmer or
33 1872 in the case of farmers.
Q. How much is the penalty for
Understanding?
A. Generally Sc of the deficiency.
Q. When will the penalties, if any,
be determined?
A. After the taxpayer files his
March Is annual income tax return
showing the correct tax for the year.
Q. Suppose I overestimate; what
happens?
A. If an overestimate results in
overpayment of the correct tax shown
in the March return, the Collector
will then give you refund or credit.
@. Can a husband and wife make
a joint declaration, and if they do
can they file separately next March?
A. Yes.
Penalties.
Q. What if 1 don't file declara-
ton?
A. There is penalty of 1919 of the
tax for failure to file declaration on
time
Q. What if 1 don't pay an estimated
tax installment on time?
A. If the payment is late, there is
a penalty of $3.50 or 21a% of the
tax, whichever is greater, for each
installment which is late.
Q. Where can I get copies of the
forms or assistance in filling them
in?
A. From your local Collector of
Internal Revenue. If you have forms
left over from September, however,
they are still good.
@. Hasn't the Victory tax been
changed lately?
A. The only change in the Victory
tax which affects the declaration re-
lates to the postwar credit. If you
use the simplified worksheet, no
change is necessary. If you use the
more precise worksheet, give yourself
credit for all of the postwar credit
(formerly, taking this credit depend
ed on purchases of war bonds, etc.
Must File March Is AS Usual.
Q. Will still have to file an annual
tax return by next March Is?
A. Yes. Nothing in the pay-as-you
go system changes the requirement
for filing an annual tax return. The
only difference is that when you do
file your annual return you will
have paid all or a substantial part
of the tax, and the only payment
that you will have to make on the
annual return will be any amount of
tax which your annual return will
show that you owe after deducting
the amounts already paid under the
pay-as-you-go system. In fact, many
persons may be eligible for refunds
or credits because their annual re-
turns may show that they have paid
somewhat more than the correct tax.

Gardeners Nook
By GARDEN CLUB EDITOR

In our buster than ever Work-a-
day world we seem to have lost the
art of relaxing and enjoying the SIM
pie things about us. On every side
there is Mother Nature in some form
from whom we may learn so many
of the little lessons of life if we
only take the time and trouble. In
the summer we may find new in
spiration and joy among our flow
ers - or even in the vegetable gar
den.
Yes, even in the vegetable garden
we may find beauty and satisfaction.
Don't you get certain thrill out of
the straight clean rows of young
onions, beans, ETC., marching down
the length of the garden.
During the winter a trip to the
woods some crisp afternoon, though
little more difficult than during
the summer, nevertheless is worth
the extra effort. There is a real
beauty about the bare, gnarled oak
branches, the straight naples and
the soft, white snow. The other day
we found enough material for an
attractive winter bouquet. Some dried
milkweed pods, opened to expose
their glistening lining; some oak
twigs, some dried grasses and weeds
with the seeds still clinging - these
will make some pleasing arrange
ments.

Mealy bugs, an insect similar to
plant lice, are the white cottony
things that it seems you find sooner
or later on your house plants. Their
cottony covering is waterproof, so
they are difficult to eradicate by
spraying. You may put little cotton
on the end of toothpick, dip it in
alcohol and give each bug bath.
Some wash them with a soft brush
and strong soap Suds.

N. Sebrell, chairman of the Vir-
ginia Alcoholic Beverage Control
Board, said yesterday the board was
not now considering any further
extension in the hours of the State
liquor stores for making sales to
men in military service and war
work. Some stores in Richmond

open an hour longer In the evening
for that purpose.
There is shortage in the supply
of liquor and we are making every
effort to make Virginia's share 60
as far as possible" Mr.. Sebrell said.
I'VE do not believe at this time
an extension of the closing time of
some of the stores would help the
situation any,"
