There Is considerable action be-
ing taken to get congress TO re-
convene before September, but it
doesn't seem likely that this will
happen. The tax tangle has not
been offered as a reason for get
ting congress back, the chief activi.
ty for reconvening being taken by a
congressional group headed by Sem
ator Wheeler, who wants congress
to pass legislation to prohibit the
drafting Of fathers into the armed
services.
AT present, it has been ordered
that fathers can be drafted after
October / provided all single men
and married men without children
are taken first. Although there is
little doubt that some fathers will
be drafted before the end of the
year, it is believed here that one
of the chief reasons for announcing
this plan well in advance is to in
fiuence fathers, now in non-essen-
tial activities. to get into essential
war work.
The manpower, shortage and in
creased absenteeiSm from war Jobs
are now considered the major prob
lem Of our war effort. Good news
from all fighting fronts is believed
to have resulted in a let-down in
war work on the home front. Men
who have been in lucrative war
jobs, who now think the war won't
last very much longer, are shifting
to jobs which have better prospects
for after the war. Women who
took war jobs are returning to their
homes. This optimism about the
war being in the bag" has def
nitely interfered with war produc.
tion. The government will undoubt-
edly start a campaign shortly TO
arouse renewed interest in war
work and explain the necessity Of
working harder than ever at home

victory abroad.

FAILURES CAN BUILD CHARACTER

l once knew father whose phi
bSophy was expressed as follows:
Never want thing until you know
you can get it. and then want it
bad Fortunately, although his
children were devoted to him he
was not able to pass on to them
his belief in making a virtue of be-
ing contented with things as they
come 10 you. Yet Illustration, fail
ure TO get or do what you want in
life, is the basis of most unhappi-
ness and great deal Of mental i'll
ness. So. like this father, you may
feel you can best prepare your chill
dren for life by keeping their wants
few and by building in them an
attitude of "Oh, well, ii wasn't
meant to be- when opportunities
pass them by.
When you stop to think about It,
however. you can see that this sort
OF upbringing would encourage that
temptation with which most hui
mans are beset, to do a little less
than your best. The wiser method
Is to study each child's capabilities
honestly and then try to direct his
ambitions into field where he has
o fair chance Of success. But am
bition itself is still as necessary a
force as in the days of Horatio
Alger heroes. SO don't belittle or
discourage it.
But suppose we guess wrong
about child talents and he comes
up against failure in the career he
has chosen with our help? Haven t
we done him a great wrong? Not
necessarily. if along the way you
have helped him meet and over
come the everyday Illustrations
which are numerous In childhood
and youth. If, in other words, you
have helped him use experience
not only for acquiring know 'ge
but for growth in character. Such a
person can face the fact of frustra-

I lie will do a lot OF protesting when

In addition TO expecting public pro-

power shortage. to check reports.
Although no new plan has yet
been agreed upon, it is believed
that recommendation will be
made to congress to make the pres
ent deduction Of 20 per cent an ac-
tual tax instead OF being merely a
method Of forced savings for taxes.
II this change were made, those
who were not subject to a surtax
above the 20 per cent would no
longer be required to make any re-
ports at all unless they wanted to
claim deductions not provided for
under the payas-you-go plan. or un-
less they had an income of more
than Sl00 from some source other
than wages or salary. Adoption Of
this plan, It IS estimated, would
excuse 30 million people from max
ing tax reports and would enor-
mously reduce the work of the in
ternal revenue department.
However. since congress proba-
bly, won't be in session until after
Labor day. and since the first tax
estimate must be filled in by ev-
eryone by September IS. it is hardly
possible that any change can be
made in the law before that report
Is due. On September Is we are all
required to estimate what our in
