Keep Birds Free From
Mites to Control Colds

Control of colds depends to a great
extent upon removing the causes
before the disease has chance to
get started. The specialists advise,
be sure the chicken house is free from
parasites, especially red mites, and
that the birds themselves are free
from lice. Remove the birds with adj
vanced cases, clean and disinfect the
chicken house often, and give the
birds fresh water several times
daily.
In feeding them, keep well.bal-
anced dry mash before them at all
times, and at noon feed them a wet
mash in amounts small enough that
they will eat it all within half an
hour. To wet the mash, use butter
milk, skim milk, whey or semisolid
milk. If milk is not available, wet
the mash with water containing
one pint of molasses to each gallon
of water.
Add teaspoonful of feeding oil
that contains vitamins A and D, to
each quart of grain they are given.
Always keep the litter dry and allow
no strong drafts in the chicken
house at night.

FEWER WEDDINGS

A notable decline in the number of
marriages reported in Maryland has
been announced by DR.. R. H. Riley,
Director of the State Department
of Health. AS evidence that the we'd
ding bells rang less often in 1943
than in the preceding year, DR.. Riley
gave the press the following state
Chief of the Bureau of Vital Stats
tics of the Department.
Figures just compiled by the Blu
reau of Vital Statistics indicate that
marriages reported during 1943
were 257 per cent lower than in
1912 This decline was greater in
the counties of Maryland, where
there were 342 fewer, than in Balti-
more City, where the decrease was
only 6.3 per cent.
Counties that customarily issue
a considerable proportion Of their
marriage licenses to residents of
other states were affected most.
Those having the highest percentages
of decline were Garrett (56.0 per
cent?, Howard (43.0 per cent?, AL
legany (42.6 per cent?, Cecil (41.3
per cent?, Hartford (39.1 per cent?
and Frederick 1856 er cent?. Con-
trary to this general statewide
trend two counties showed slight in
creases in the marriages reported,
namely Dorcheste (9.1 per cent? and
Montgomery coz per cent?.
Complete reporting of marriages
taking place in Maryland is impera-
tive. Failure to report marriages not
only detracts from the value of sta
tistical records, but it may also cause
considerable inconvenience to the
couples concerned. There is a grow
ing emphasis upon legal records of
marriages in connection with such
matters as military service, Deepen
dents claims and pensions.
"Clergymen in this state are re-
sponsible for reporting all marriages
which they perform A recent act of
the legislature requires that they
return reports of marriages at which
they officiate to the Clerks of the Cir
cult Courts within five days. Because
of the Importance of accurate official
records to men and women married
in Maryland. there is a statewide
effort to ensure the prompt reporting
of very marriage within the five days
prescribed by law"

INCOME TAX EXEMPTIONS

The principle of the income tax is
to distribute taxes according to the
relative ability of different persons
to pay. Therefore, every taxpayer is
granted a personal exemption, which
is deducted from his income before
computing the tax.
For the regular income tax, the
exemption on 1943 income is $500
for a single person and $1,000 for
married person living with husband
or wife or for other heads of fami-
lies. For the victory tax, the exemp-
ton is 1924, regardless of whether
married or single.
The $500 exemption for single per-
sons applies not only to unmarried
men and women but also to widows,
widowers, divorces, and also to mar
ried persons who are separated by
mutual consent. However, married
couples who are only temporarily
apart-as in sae case of soldiers
and their wives-are considered "liv-
ing together" and entitled to the ex-
emption of married persons living
with husband or wife.
The $1,000 exemption for married
persons is the total exemption for a
man and wife, regardless of whether
they have separate income or wheth-
er they file separate or joint returns.
The $1,000 exemption may be taken
on the return of either the husband
or the wife, or divided between them
in any proportion they desire if they
file separate returns ON the long
Form 1040.
A similar exemption of $1,000 is
granted to others who qualify under
the definition of ''head of family"
for tax purposes-for instance. single
persons supporting aged parents, and
widows or widowers supporting min
or children.
Different methods of claimi n G
these exemptions are provided in the
two forms of tax returns the short
Form 1O4OA and the long Form
1910.
On the short Form 1040A, you do
not have to figure the amount of ex-
emption. Instead, YOU need only
check in one of the boxes Cat the top
of the back page) which expresses
your family status (single, married,
etc., on July /, 1913. Below these
boxes is a table of taxes, divided into
three columns. The form will show
you which column to use according
to which family status box you check
ed In this manner you receive the
benefit of the personal exemption,
and your regular income tax can be
found without any computation.
On the long Form 1040, you must
show not only the amount of the ex-
emption you claim, but also for how
many motnhs of the year you were
single or married, or otherwise
head of family"
If you are in doubt about the cor
rect amount of your personal exemp-
ton, advice may be obtained readily
from the Office of the nearest collec-
tor of internal revenue.

"DOPES'' NO IMPROVEMENT TO
AUTO GAS

In response to many inquiries,
Keystone Automobile Club has made
an investigation of "Vitaplus," a
radio-advertised gasoline additive
which purports to give greatly in
creased car mileage.
The Club is in receipt of a report
from the National Bureau of Stan
dards which says the product con-
sists chiefly of naphthalene, "a chem
ical familiar to every one in the form
of moth balls" The Bureau also dis
counted test run" of 27.4 miles,
which apparently gave an increased
mileage of 22.S per cent, pointing out
that the run on untreated gas was
made with a cold motor and two adj
ditional runs over the same course
were made after the motor had
warmed up.
Had Vitaplus been run first and
untreated gasoline last" the Bu-
reau's report to the Club says, "the
conclusion that Vitaplus decreased
the mileage undoubtedly would have
been reached"
Regarding the chemical makeup
of the product, the report says:
1.-THE Vita-Power Products Compa-
ny, Inc, sent us copy of a chemical
analysis of Vitaplus. This analysis
listed naphthalene (moth balls) as
one constituent of Vitaplus. Our ex-
animation showed that it was chiefly
naphthalene, the other constituents
being present only in small amounts
or traces"
Regarding gas "dopes" in gener-
al, the Bureau has this to say:
"In the testing of more than 150
such dopes at the National Bureau of
Standards, exclusive of the we'll
known knock suppressors, not sim
gle instonce of any important i'm
provement has been observed in any
feature of engine performance"

FATHERS FACE THE DRAFT

A great increase in the numbers
of fathers are being called before
local draft boards. Most of the boards
in small communities continue to be
lenient, on the basis of occupation;
and most of these boards are stretch
ing several points to put fathers in
IA or 2-B status.
But in the larger cities where there
is less personal interest in individu-
ais, there has been decided step
up in re-classifcation, physical exam
nations, and induction of fathers.
