Flipping the page of his newspaper
on a recent Sunday, a Washington
neWspa perman suddenly felt a sharp,
scratching pain In his left eye Careful
examination in a mirror revealed moth
ing. But the pain continued. The
faster he blinked, the sharper the pain.
What had happened, though he
didn't know it. was that in turning the
page he had thrown an almost-micro-
scopic cinder with sufficient force to
imbed it in the cornea-the transparent
part of the coating which covers the
iris and pupil and admits light to
the eye.
Each time he blinked, the eyelid came
in contact with the cinder and thrust
1t deeper into the mass of extremely
sensitive nerves of the eyeball Suffer-
return to his newspaper, the man called
his family doctor.
Hop into a cab and 60 down to the
Episcopal Eye. Ear and Throat Hos
pital," the doctor ordered.
Big as a Boulder
Half an hour later, the particle had
been removed, the pain had vanished
and the cruel cinder which had felt as
big as a boulder but was hardly big
enough to be visible had a seat of honor
on tuft of cotton held by the ply
sician.
Il can hardly see it," the newspaper
man said.
The physician didn't smile. He said
darkly: you can hardly see it, but 1t
could have caused plenty Of trouble II
you had waited week to have 1t
removed-as some people do"
That newspaperman was one Of sew
eral thousand patients who each year
go to the Episcopal Hospital with
something in their eye" He was one
Of 100000 persons cared for in the
46-year history Of the hospitals free

Hospital files show the eve physician
wasn't exaggerating about the conse-
quences of a cinder in the eye Hun
dreds Of persons year in the United
States have lost their sight because
they failed to have treatment promptly.

willing to gamble. 1t appeared in July,
1912. We sold six months subscriptions,
and the advance payments of several
hundred subscribers enabled us to pur-
chase enough paper and other materials
in Manila to assure publication for the
six months. Outside paper prices dou-
bled two days later. and two months
later the Japanese froze paper supplies.
With 20-foot mound of cut neWsprint
in my room, could afford to chuckle.
Utilizing the camp mimeograph, we
met our headlines with the magazine"
which grew as advertising increased.
Most Of the camp entrepeneurs wanted
display space, and full page" ads went
to representatives Of large American
concerns anxious to continue good will.
We violated all journalistic canons by
running 80 per cent advertising before
We declined further accounts.
Censorship No Problem.
Production, not censorship, was our
problen The cartoons we're all hand
drawn on the stencil and the copy typed.
We colored the cover sketch by hand
with crayon, and offered colored ads for
q higher rate.
Two fiction stories, feature articles and
poems were used monthly. Internee off,
cials censored them, and the Japanese
objected only once. They thought one
issue portrayed camp life as too hilari-
ous."
When Stuart and went to Shanghai
in September, 1912, we sold the subscrip-
tions, stock and advertising to David
McTurk Of Philadelphia, who had been
business manager, and he completed the
final three issues. The publication then
died for lack Of paper.
This was one aspect Of the constant
internee effort to build life as normal
and rs comfortable as possible. Many
ingenious methods of raising money de-
veloped. One group of young Pan
American Airways' employees manufac-
tured coconut milk which they sold for
the morning mush after fresh milk dis
appeared. Another group maintained .

or a State. The District local gasoline
tax is cents gallon, Maryland, 4
cents gallon, and Virginia, cents a
gallon. But the Federal gasoline tax
Of IL cents gallon may NOT be in
cluded in deductions. The "A" card
gasoline ration for the calendar year
1943, according to the Keystone Auto
mobile Club, was 95 gallons.
One tax sometimes overlooked as
deduction on the Federal tax return is
the income tax paid to the District of
Columbia. This and similar taxes from
the States may be deducted from the
Federal tax return, but District officials
warn, on the other hand, that the Fed
eral income tax may not be taken as a
deduction on the District income tax
return. The telephone and telegram
taxes are often overlooked. They are
deductions on the Federal return.
Medical, dental and health expenses,
on line l5 page l, offer opportunities
for deduction, but only if such expenses
exceed per cent of the net as shown
on line 10, not counting the medical
expenses themselves. You determine this
allowable deduction by completing
schedule H on page of the return.

any funds were received from health

Quoted from the overall medical total.
After reaching line 10 on page l, it
is necessary to turn to the fourth page,
which presents probably the most diff
cult problem. But by taking that page
one step at time, beginning with in
come tax net income in line l, the CAL
culations are simple for while, through
personal exemption and credit for de-
pendents.
The Forgiveness Feature.
But Tor most people the real trouble
begins with the forgiveness feature, in
volving both years 1912 and 1943, which
enters the picture on line II, page 1.
with the listing of income tax for 1912,
taken from the form 1925.
Now most people are under the mis-
taken impression, Treasury officials ex-
plain, that the year 1912 is water over
the DAM" that they have either paid or
been forgiven all their tax for that year.
For some people that is correct. Several
million persons in the lower-income
brackets have no liability on their 1912
taxes. But millions of others do have
payments to make on their 1912 taxes
in some cases very substantial ones.

Fifty divisions--or approximately $780,
900 men-have been rehabilttated and
made available for military duty through
the work Of the Army Dental Corps In
correcting teeth deficiencies.
Without these 50 divisions Americas
military punch would have been con-
siderably Less effective in far flung battle
zones.
When the history Of Americas role in
World War II is written, the part played
by the dental profession in the Army
shall have earned the Nations gratitude,
not only in helping to win the war but
also in promoting good health through
dental hygiene in the postwar years.
Let's take quick glance at results
achieved, after two years Of war:
Since Pearl Harbor, the Amy Dental
Corps has constructed and inserted Il
o5o0oo dentures (artificial plates).
More than $4,000 900 filings have been
made by the Dental Corps. in addition
to more than 100000 prophylactic and
pyorethic treatments given.
Thousands Of soldiers had teeth ex-
tracted and infections removed.
The Corps averages $4,000 dental ap-
pointments overy day.
Those 10000 men inducted under the
selective Service Act did not have teeth
good enough to masticate Army food.
Dentists brought them up to par.
Soldiers Need Good Teeth.
The work of the Dental Corps under
the leadership of Maj. Gen. Robert H.
Mills, director of the dental division,
Once Of the Surgeon General of the
Army, has been no less beneficial even

housetops There is nothing glamorous

gress forgave only part of one years
tax The return on lines II, lS and 10,
including 19 a, b and c, shows how to
figure how much tax was forgiven and
how much of it is still owed. In gen.
eral the taxpayer compares his 1912
tax with the tax on his 194S income to
determine which Is larger and which
is smaller. He will be forgiven part Of
the smaller years tax and then will owe
years tax, plus all OF the larger years
tax.
If the smaller years tax is $50 or
less it is all forgiven. If it is between
$50 and $6667 the forgiveness is a
fiat $50. If 1t is more than s66.67 the
forgiveness is IS per cent
All of the larger years tax plus one
half of the unforgiven portion of the
smaller years tax is payable on or be-
fore March IS next; but payment of the
remaining half of the unforgiven portion
may be deferred until March Is, 1945.
This is shown on the calculations which
jump back to page l, lines 20 and 81.
In most cases the smaller tax will be the
1912 tax and the forgiveness will be
three-fourths of that.
In the adjacent sample return, John
Doe, married, with two children, an in
come of $4,608, finds his total tax is
s5562l, of which he had paid already
$50430. This left balance of $5l 81,
OF which he may postpone $2363 to
March Is, ls45. He pays now $2828.
Special consideration is given to men,
bers of the armed forces Many of these
men are finding that if they paid SUBJ
stantial taxes for 1912, they will have
refund coming to them. In the
current return they do not include in
their income, or even show On the form,
the first 81 500 of their active service pay.
Dependents of servicemen should not
include in their income or returns any
allotment or family allowance checks.
In order to help servicemen and their
families, special room is set aside in

How Jap 1nternment Camp Got Its News

Private enterprise tapped the luxury"
field - candy, cakes, pies and other
sweets manufactured in the camp
laundry and shoe repairing, small mer-
chants, selling everything available;
craftsmen, building wooden beds, cabi-
nets and boxes; restaurants which even
sold steaks; shoe shining, barbering.
Shortages of essentials now have
forced suspension of the baking and
candy-making industries and publica-
tions have ceased. But other enter
prises continue
They cater to the minority of internees
who have access to funds. Some bank
accounts were reopened a few weeks
after intemment began. Many Of the
prisoners brought money with them into
camp.
The 1nternitis was born when both
Stuart and myself became unusually
hungry one noon, after living for weeks
on two meals daily-without lunch
because our accounts were in a still
frozen bank. We decided to do some
thing about it.
We published the first issue on a
shoestring, supplied by the advertisers
