in a million years-so ! will tell you.
The title is:
The Postwar Pig.
The article says that the postwar
pig is to be redesigned, beautiful and
streamlined. Inasmuch as there could
be nothing more fascinating than a
streamlined pig-even without built

If you want my opinion, that Jay
Lush is just pessimist.
The article asks a straightforward
question:
why all this pig furore?"
The answer. it develops. is lard.
There is too much lard on the market.
Even with all the campaign speeches
coming on, it is debatable whether
they will be able to use il all up.

TAX-PAYING MINORS MUST
 FILE SEPARATE RFTURNS

TACOMA - All minors whose wages are subject to withholding tax should file Form WA with their employers and claim personal ex- emption of a single individual un- der the provisions of the new Rev enue Act, according to Clark Squire, Collector of Internal Revenue.
 The new law makes the earnings of minors the separate income of the minor and not the income of the parent, as formerly was the case. Every minor is entitled to a personal exemption of $500. If he has income of $500 or more he must pay tax on any amount in ex- cess of $500. If his earnings are less than $500 this income is nteth- CT taxable to the minor nor to the parent.
 Under previous laws all earnings of a minor were held to be the in- come of the parent and required to be included by the parent on his return. Therefore, when the with holding tax became effective it was advantageous to the parent to have the minor claim no exemption and have the full 20 per cent withheld from his wages Otherwise it be- came necessary for the parent to pay the full tax on the minors earnings in lump sum on March 15.
 Under the provisions of the new law. which are now in effect, earn ] ings of a child are a part of his gross income and not the income of the parent, even though such a. mounts are not received by the child. The only liability a parent might have with regard to earnings of a minor would arise in the event the minor earned more than $500, became liable for tax, and failed to pay this tax. In this event, such tax can either be assessed against the child or the parent and collect ed from the parent if the child fails to pay.
 The Collector recommended that all employed individuals under the age of 21 immediately file Form w.

builds the plants structure above the ground so that it can store food in the leaves and take advantage of the rare days of sunshine to use the nitrogen available to it. Potash balances nitrogen and should be used in sufficient quantity to off set the nitrogen, especially where there is little sunshine.
 Nitrogen is the easiest of the four above mentioned clements to lose. However. an excess of nitro gen tends to make for a rank, sue oulent top growth and a weak root growth and delays the plants ma turity, which is dangerous in this climate. Nitrogen should be used ONLY during bright bright weather or when there is a thin overcast on long days.
 There is a proper level to main tain for each of the plant foods, although the range within their proportions may fall is fairly wide. The following table shows the pro- per range for each of the four maj or plant foods in Southeastern AL aska:
 Phosphorous - 10 parts per mil lion (ean be to 50 without being exeessiye.)
 Potash - 40-2O parts per mil lion Cabove 60 is a little too much unless nitrogen is raised to cor respOnd.)
 Nitrogen - 20-4O (can go to 125 before being excessive. Opposite ratio to potash
 Calcium - above 100 parts per million lcan go to 200.)
 These levels may be maintained easily be using the recommended a. mounts of fertilizer.

By MRS. MACKALL FETZER,
President. District Of Columbia Congress Of
Parents and Teachers.
A recent statement emanating
from the Franklin School Admins
tration Building, concerning the
amount of damage done to school
buildings throughout the city during
the vacation period just closed, is
real indictment OF the degree of
civic responsibility shown by vari-
Gus communities.
1t is obvious, on the face of 1t,
that the school administrators can
not furnish building guardians "a
hours of the day, and even If they
could, 1t is douptfu. If all building
damage done by neighborhood gangs
could be prevented. The only
remedy for this situation is educa-
tion to civic responsibility, both of
parents and children. If a parents s
interest in public property ceases
with the payment of his taxes there
is little that can pe done, unless he
can be educated to the advantage Of
protecting the property for which
he is paying.
No adult would allow children to
destroy a house, for which he was
paying; no property owner would
permit useless damage to his pos
sessions. Yet, because schools are
classed as public buildings" 1t Is
difficult to find in a neighborhood
any single person who takes a real
interest in those buildings. The
common attitude seems to be, 'it
is public property, and therefore
should be cared for by those in
authority"
But, the truth of the matter is
that every tax payer is a part
owner in every piece of public prop
erty, and as such should have a
genuine interest in their preserva-
tion If this were SO, children
would be taught this principle, along
with the rule of mine and thine"
and vandalism would be reduced to
a minimum.
The second of two conferences
will be held Thursday from 10:30

The. Very Thought of You,"
written and directed by Delmer
Dawes, votes aye on the subject of
whether the two young people

large doubt that audiences will find
it SO.
The Earle's should-they-wait VS..

twist that it is taken right into the

It's predecessors dealing with the

lovers. Bringing the family into

who's vitally on the side of ro-
nance, and pop, who is a reason
able enough chap to stand in the
ruin Of his own life and still think
kindly of matrimony.
Mr.. Dawes, an old hand at picture
writing, is clearly of that school
which believes movie audiences can
not get too much of the spectacle of
courtship. He sees to it that the
affair of Morgan and Miss Parker
has enough of love-making packed
into its 100 minutes to last for a
lifetime, as If. he, as we'll as they,
had an acute sense Of lack of time.
Their courtship is photographed in
such various places as the Mount
Wilson Observatory, a war workers
motel, the swank bungalow of a
famous Los Angeles hotel, and
tent on the beach near San Diego
1t is a kind of marathon which
does not seem to tire Morgan and
Miss Parker, but which is likely to
