Tells Officer 10
Pay on Uniform
Income Tax Answers:

If the private feels prosecuted
because he must pay income tax,
he should consider the case of the
higherup who wears the chevrons,
gold bars and stripes.
The commissioned officer, who
has more income tax problems
than the average travelling sales
man, draws the top pay of the
fighting forces-but pays accord
ingly.
Here Is a typical case, a letter
from L. F. j., a Times reader:
MY husband is a commissioned
officer in the army. He receives
base pay, longevity (extra pay
for years in service). and allow
ance for rent, food, uniform and
travel, for himself and me. Most
of this comes in one check the
first of each month. The uniform
allowance occurs only once.

rather pay IL quarterly. II we

ever we are?"

Hero IL the answer, from Giles

revenue:
"Your husband must report

Senator was not ready to reveal the

was to obtain uniform and reason

transportation lines serving that
area.

Victory Gardeners Get Too|s and Seeds
Ready for City-Wide Spring Planting

Thousands of residents of the
District put in their first work on
their victory gardens this week
end with the official beginning of
spring.
More ploWs and equipment have
been located for the preparation of
large community tracts about the
city. j. Morton Franklin. victory
garden supervisor. said yesterday
but he reminded gardeners that it
will be impossible to have all the
individual plots about the city
ploWed Most of the small lots. he
said, will have to be turned with
the spade.
Spade work is good exercise. he
said, and there is no reason that
the typical victor garden plot
cannot be prepared without hiring
a horse and pillow. Practically all the
emergency gardens in England,
which have made a real contribu-
ton to feeding the tight little isle
have been prepared by hand.
Customers in the seed stores indi-
cate that large portion of the gar
dens in the city will be worked by
women. More than half of the Gus
toners are women and they indicate
by their questions that they are
going to garden for the first time.
They want to know how many seeds
to put in a hill and how far apart
to make the rows.

Dietitian Is Needed
AtHome for Aged,
Stefan Believes
Residents There, III,
Require Special Diet,
He Says After Visit
By JAMES r. CHM.

Lives of about $50 Of the 465 resi-
dents at the Home for the Aged and
1nfirm at Blue Plains might be pro-
longed by the services of a dietitian
at the home. it was said last night
by Representative Stefan, Repub-
lican, of Nebraska.
Ranking minority member OF the
House Appropriations subcommittee
now in the midst of study of the
1914 District budget. Mr.. Stefan
made an unannounced visit to the
home yesterday. Accompanying him
were Ray L. Huff. recently named
director of the District Welfare
Department. and A. J. Driscoll. a
member of the Board Of Public We'll
fare. which has control over the
home.
Visits Home Each Year.
Each year Mr.. Stefan has visited
the institution to find out from per-
sonal observation what improve
ments have been made. On his trip.
he observed chiefly that some of
the men and women cared for there
are not getting proper food. He
plans to ask the Appropriations Sub
committee when it resumes hear
ings on the District budget tomor-
row to provide funds for a dietitian.
Conditions at the home were the
target several years ago of a con-
pressional investigation AS result,
Congress appropriated additional
funds to clean it up Representa-
tive Stefan said the improvements
made since his last visit amazed"
him.
Mr.. Stefan pointed out that a
dietitian is needed to guide the
preparation of meals for 100 patients
who have heart ailments and 80
others who suffer from diabetes.
There is no provision in the 1914
budget for dietitian.
Wants Funds for Barber.
The home is asking for a slight
increase in it's funds.
The budget requests $3.50 to en-
ploy a barber and says, The physi-
cal handicaps of approximately $50
of these inmates makes it prac-
tically impossible for them to shave
themselves, and, therefore, they are
absolutely dependent on other in
mates for a periodic shave and hair
cut. The obvious result, at best, is
that the man who cannot shave
himself goes without a shave on the
average of 10 days or more and not
more than three or four haircuts
a year"
