Treasury Department
Carefully Peeks
BY the Associated Press.


HOLLYWOOD.
While film stars have been doing
a notable job on the War Bond and
camp circuits. Government agents
have been doing some peeking and
prying into a few financial schemes
in the colony suspected Of defraud-
ing the Treasury Department of
taxes.
It's a neat trick, consisting of Or
ganizing a single film production as
a corporation, with players, directors
and producers each buying piece
of stock. No salaries are paid. When
the film is shown each collects divi-
dends on the stock. Then the stock
is sold, also at a nice profit. to a
distributing company. This money
is not taxable as income, but as a
capital gain, Is per cent tax as
against IS per cent tax on similar
sum in salary.
Theater and film executives, eager
to test the popularity of the single
versus the double bill in these boom
times when anything goes. have con-
cluded that the public still prefers
double bills.

Mrs. Ralph o. Smith, captain of
Motor Corps for the Arlington
County Chapter Of the American
Red Cross, wears three service
stripes on the sleeve OF her gray
blue uniform-"The worn one is
the pre-Pearl Harbor one," she
smiles.
Decorated by the Red Cross In
1912 for outstanding service, this
hard-working and very pretty lady
gives seven days a week to her VOL
unteer war work and is on call "a
hours of each of those days. She
won her Red Cross pin for work
with the production unit, was the
sixth member of the Arlington
County Motor Corps and its second
captain. She has taken enough
Red Gross courses to make you
dizzy-first aid, first aid instruc-
tor, motor mechanics instructor, the
staff assistance course and home
nursing. She has taught first aid
for eight years, has been a blood
donor II times and is a member
of the speakers bureau of the
Arlington Chapter Red Cross.
She's as bright as button and a
born organizer. Otherwise the Ar
lington Chapter Motor Corps
wouldn't be the wonderful, efficient
corps that 1t is. Here are few Of
the things it does-production de-
liveries and pick-ups, transports ap-
proximately 500 blood donors a
month, does chapter errands, works
with the Public Health clinics trans
porting cases to and from the
clinics, does home service work "a
24-hour duty including standby
service for servicemen,s wives and
home service stretcher cases, trans
ports convalescent soldiers on daily
trips and weekend
parties and football games and
transports canteen workers and
Mrs. Smith has made her home in
for the past three and a
half years. Before that she and her
husband (who is superintendent of
for one Of the big air
lines) and their pretty young daugh-
ter lived all over the United States.
She is graduate of Notre Dame
College and a native of Cleveland
where she lived until her marriage.
She likes to paint, which she does
well-landscapes in oil. She has also
had published some good verse and
she likes to sing but not nearly so
much as the servicemen like to hear
her. They love it. She is very
proud of her Motor Corps and she
wishes that they had more than
the one ambulance and two station
wagons, which are the only chapter
vehicles (members of the corps use
their own cars). "It isn't that we
haven't the money to buy good
station wagon" she told us, I'VE just
can't find any"
Here's chance for some public
spirited citizen to do the Arlington
County Chapter Of the Red Cross
very good turn-seu them a station
wagon!
