Rationing Troubles
D. A ALLxA X

By A m0Hdd A b60n, 10,
Montgomery-Blsir High School.
It used to be, in times gone by,
That all you had to do
To get luscious roast of beef
Or a sirloin steak or two
Was to lift the phone receiver
And call your favorite store.
But, sad to state, things are quite
changed:
What was, is now no more.
The butchers all are angry and
They glare at you and say,
You must give up your brown
stamps,
And give them right away!"
You drag out all your ration books
And look in them to see
There aren't enough points for q
steak
For one, much less for three.
so home you go your weary way,
And dinner start to make,
And what you place upon the dish
Is hot dogs, stead of steak!

Leaves from a Desert Sketch
Book by Clifford Saber.
Sketches and paintings by an
American artist, Clifford Saber of
Lawrence, Mass, member of the
American Field Service Ambulance
Corps. attached with the British 9th
Army in the North African cam
paign, were placed on exhibition
in the Corcoran Gallery of Art yes
terday afternoon and will remain on
view through April 2.
Mr.. Saber is one who cannot be
turned from his career-nothing can
stop him recording what he sees
with pencil and brush, although in
the Army his art is of necessity Sec
ondary to his military and merciful
duty.
Last year his first batch of repor-
torial paintings, having to do with
convoy experiences, were shown in
New York under the auspices of the
Society of Illustrators and aroused
enthusiastic comment on all sides.
from military men, naval officers,
artists and laymen. His Desert
Sketch Book" and Mobile Paint
ings" which he is now showing here
are said to even exceed these in
interest.
In March, 1943, Mr., Saber, who,
by the way, is not yet 30, was seri-
ously wounded at the Mareth Line.
He is at home at present recuperat-
ing, after which he hopes to return
to active duty. Self-taught, he has
shown an inclination to art since
childhood and achieved large
measure OF success as mural painter
as we'll as illustrator. Before joining
the Army he did a series of murals
for Rockefeller Center, New York
During a brief stop in the desert
he executed a mural, Irony" as
decoration for the British Barracks
in Tripolitania. which the French
have since reproduced on postals
for wide distribution.

Paintings by John Koch
Shoe Exceptional Skill

The exhibition of paintings by
John Koch, now in progress in the
Whyte Gallery is more than COM
monty interesting In the first place
1t introduces to Washingtonians the
work of a young artist early in his
career, and secondly tt evidences
on his part exceptional sensitive
ness and skill.
John Koch Is a native of Ann
Arbor. After completing his uni
versity course he went to France to
study art and remained abroad for
several years. His studies were
pursued not in school, nor under
any one master, but from the works
OF many masters found in the great
foreign museums, such as the
Louvre, and elsewhere. Probably for
this reason his work appears to be
founded on tradition, although
modern in spirit.
There are beautiful passages In
almost all his paintings: his color

alluring, and the effects attained

As another device TO adjust the
income tax to every persons ability
to pay, a credit for dependents"
may be deducted by taxpayers from
their income before computing the
tax.
Credits for pendents are
granted against both the regular
income tax and also the victory
tax, but are figured differently.
A dependent, under the tax laws,
Is person who receives his chief
support from the taxpayer and who
is either (a) under 10 years of age
or 90 incapable of self-support be-
cause mentally or physically de-
fective. Husbands and wives. how
ever, are not counted as depend
|ents' since they are taken care
Of by the larger personal exemption
granted married persons ($1, 200 in
comparison with single persons
$500.
Note that the definitions of de-
pendents for the purposes of this
credit is very different from the
definition used to qualify a taxpayer
as head of family" In the "head
of family" definition, dependents
must be closely related to and live
in the same household with the tax
payer. Neither requirement is neces-
sary in the definition for credit
for dependents" However, depend
ents eligible for this credit must
be persons under 10 or incapable
OF self-support, and those qualifi-
cations do not apply to the head
Of family" definition.
The credit for dependents is based
upon actual financial dependency
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1944-01-08

and not mere legal dependency. and
this taxpayer must have provided
more than one-haIf OF the depend
ent's support.
Dependents must mt either or both
of the definitions. However, II Il
important 10 understand that II a
taxpayer only qualities as head
OF family" because of a dependent
who also fits the definition fol
credit for dependent" then the
taxpayer cannot receive $3.50 credit
for that one dependent. The reason
for this is that the $1,000 personal
exemption given head Of family
already provides the equivalent OF
a credit for one dependent.
Unlike the personal exemption
the credit for dependents may not
be divided between two persons fill
ing separate returns, but must be
taken by the one contributing the
chief support. However, where two
or more persons support the same
dependents and each furnishes the
chief support to a different depend
ent, each may take the credit fol-
the dependent furnished chief sup
lport.
On short form 1040A the credit
| for dependents as stated at $685.
Actually, the credit is $3.50 but the
extra $35 is a device to save the
taxpayer using this form the in
convenience of figuring such things
| as earned income credit" anc
makes possible the use of the SIM
plified tax table on that form. Also
on this form the dependent credit
for victory tax, which actually is
per cent of the gross amount OF
the victory tax, is combined with
another percentage credit for single
or married persons and the tota

step. On this form you should count
as dependents only those that YOU
had on July 1. io43. without regard
to the situation In other parts OF
the year.
On long form 1910. the credit for
dependents for the regular income
tax is $3.50 and the taxpayer must
show in Schedule I on page 3 for
how many months of l943 the de-
pendents were supported. II the
dependents were not supported for
full year, only a proportionate
amount of the $3.50 may be claimed.
On long form 1040, the credit for
dependents for victory tax is fig
ured at 2 per cent of the amount
of the victory tax.
