HATES COODBYES
Presidents Wife Sees
Daughter and Her Hus-
band Off for Seattle
BY ELEANOR ROOSEVELT

Washington, Thursday-Yesterda
was filled with the usual variety Of
appointments and, in the late af.
ternoon, I went rather sadly to see
my daughter and her husband of
for Seattle, Washington. These are
such uncertain times one can not
help but dislike all goodbyes.
devoted the evening to my mai

the President still deep In the &C.
emulation which had greeted him
protested that no secretaries
should be at work at midnight
and she picked up almost as big
bundle Of finished mail as thai
which remained unfinished in the
basket and went home. The Presi'
dent has another evening Of work
before him without counting any Of
the additions which are pouring In
every day.
Today, two sessions Of a confer
ence called by Miss Katherine Len
root, Of the children's bureau, are
meeting In the White House. The
members Of the conference are dis
cussing children In war time and ]
was fortunate enough to be able
to attend the morning session, and
hope to be at most Of the afternoon
session. -
I saw an amusing little scene In
the train the other day. A white
haired, charming woman, came in
with a slightly hurried, clustered
look. All her tickets were punched
up In her hand. She IVES followed
by a gentle looking white-haired
man, who saw her seated and then
left. surmise' he thought her
hurry might upset her, but once
outside, he stood looking up at her
window.
She settled herself and ! had time
to notice her charming gray hat
with magenta and gray feathers,
which gave Just the right touch Of
color to her softly waved hair
Then she caught the mans eye,
leaned forward eagc ly and waved
her hand. A smile oe understand
ing and affection spread over the
woman's face and I thought to
myself, zone of the blessings Of age
Is to learn not to part on note
of sharpness, to treasure the mo-
ments spent with those we love,
and to make them whenever pos
sible good to remember, for time is
short" Time is never long enough
for happeneSs anyway. I wonder
Il this Is one of the things youth
might learn from age. ~.
I was struck by ti.c fifth In q
series of war time conversation
pieces by Bonaro w. Overstreetl
which appeared in a paper last Sum
day. The following lines seem to
be good advice for all OF us:
Don't stop wanting, but make
your wants so big
They cover everybody-not so
little.
They cover Just yourself"
This Is the advice OF his mother
Illustrations which come to minor
ity groups. But the, aren't the
words which should be said just 70
one group or to one age. They
should be said to all OF us. we
must want for others, not ourselves
alone.

SinpIified Form Reduces Income
Tax Filing Job To 5-Mnute Job

The Federal Treasury Is offering
again this year to people whose 194S
income was 5000 or less, q simpli-
fled income tax form ''hich may be
filld out In five minutes or less
This is known as Form l040-A. II
may be used by any taxpayer whose
$4,000 or-less income came wholly
from wages or salary, dividends, in
terest or annuities.
Last year when this time saver
was first introduced. over 10000, 900
Individual income tax returns were
filed on 1t. People who had pre-
viously spent hours working over
the regular report-form were en-
thusiastic about the ease and speed
with which they could now COM
plete their annual income tax chore.
This year, with an estimated
twelve milton new taxpayers filing
for the first time, the Bureau Of IN
ternral Revenue confidently expects
that nearly twenty million taxpay-
ers will benefit from this shortcut
way, saving In the aggregate mil
lions Of hours Of time and innurn-
cradle headaches.
incidentally, this simplifieG Form
1040-A Is also q boon to the Inter-
nal Revenue Bureau, for 1t greatly
reduces the amount Of time pre-
viously spent with so many mill
lions of taxpayers In answering
questions and helping them make
out their returns.
A glance at the picture shows how
quick and simple Form 1040-A
makes this income tax filing Job.
There are only 6 things for Mr..
and Mrs. Taxpayer to do; write
down their names, address and &C.
cupation, the names Of their depen-
dents, the amount Of income re-
ceived during the year, the amount
of dedution allowed on account Of
dependents; check the square that
shows their family status whether
