Gas Cut Off by Raids,
Field Kitchens Feed
Many in Berlin
BY the Associated Press,

Ey the Associated Press.
STOCKHOLM, Sept. s.-The re-
cent Allied bombings of Berlin have
not only transformed wide areas of
the German capital into rubble, but
paralyzed its public services and
much of its amusement facilities,
according to travellers arriving in
Sweden.
A newly received issue of the Ber-
lin newspaper Lokalanzeiger stated
that most of the capital had no gas
for cooking and that emergency
field kitchens had been set up ex-
tensively.
Some 1000 persons were being fed
by means of public kitchen in one
Southwest Berlin suburb alone, the
paper said.
The amusement page listed nu-
merous theaters and other amuse-
ment places as victims of the heavy
bomber raids, the last of which was
last Friday night.
Stories of travellers from Germany
who saw the condition of Berlin
added credence to the mounting
reports of destruction.
Bombs Leave Nothing of Buildings.
When those big Raj bombs hit
a building" said one, there was alb
solutely nothing left. And those in
basement shelters, reinforced though
they are, never get out. They are
hopelessly trapped. Six days after
one raid, I watched rescue squads
working in the ruins of houses re-
moving the dead"
Said another:
Il saw people running down the
streets absolutely mad, their clothes
blazing like a torch. They have
found leather clothing gives them
the best protection against fire, but
unless they happen to have leather
jackets or coats, obtaining such
clothes now is out of the question.
He told of street after street being
lined with furniture taken from the
smouldering ruins of German homes
Still another eyewitness related:
Families huddled next to piles OF
treasured belongings they had re-
moved from wrecked homes. They
just sat or stood there-dazed. They
didn't know what to do or where
to go.
Citizens Flee Every Night.
"One of the strangest effects oi
the bombings occurred at street
crossings. There, the force of ex-
plosions could rush in with equa
pressure in all directions. Bombs
landing in these open crossings tore
away buildings on all sides-simply
rolled back structures at each of the
four corners. This was especially
true at Charlottenburg,'

Daylight Alert

WyandOtta along with other cities

from 10 to 1915 am, Wednesday.
Wyandotte's part in this alert was
very successful, according to A. A.
Payttte, director Of civilian defense.
Approximately 80 wardens were on
duty for the alert, which Is about %
per cent of the entire force. This in
dicates definite need for more war;
dtns who can be on duty during the
day. The number on duty would no
doubt be considerably less in case OF
surprise alert, says Payette. Due to
the fact that this alert was well ad-
vertiSed in advance a number of war
dens stayed near their posts in order
to assist.
The people of the city are to be
cOmplmented for the whOle-hearted
cooperation in making this drill d
success and although most Of the in
dustrieS did not participate they were
ready in case it had been a real raid.
Very few violations were reported

HEAD OF FAMILY EXEMPTION

HEAD OF FAMILY EXEMPTION
A single person, or q married per-

is entitled to personal exemption of

as head Of family. A head OF family
is IAN individual who actually sup

one or more individuals who are
closely connected with him by blood
relationship. relationship by marriage
or by adoption, and whose right to
exercise family. control and provide
for the dependent individuals Is based
upon some moral or legal obligation"
Examples Of head Of family status
would be wid0wer or widow who
maintained q home Tor "A dependent
child, or a son who supported and
maintained q household for q depend
eHt father or mother. In order to meet
the test Of actual support and main
tenance as head Of family, the bene-
factor must furnish more than one
half Of the support and maintenance.
The term Tin one household or
dinarily means under one roof, but II
q father Is absent on business or a
child or other dependent Is away at
school, or on q visit, the common home
being still maintained, the head Of
family exemption would still apply.
Where a parent is obliged to main
tain his dependent children with rela-
tives or in q boarding house while he
lives elsewhere, the additional ex-
emptiOn may still apply. II, however.
without necessity, the dependent con-
tinu0uSly makes his home elsewhere,
his benefaeter is not the head OF a
family irrespective of the question of
support.
The term closely connected by

Their by the whole or half blood, and
