Always there are dogs in every

the beach today, still pitifully look
ing for his masters.
He stays at the waters edge,
near a boat that lies twisted and
half sunk at the waterline. he
barks appealingly to every soldier
who approa ches, trots eagerly
along with him for few feet, and
then, sensing himself unwanted in
all this haste, runs back to wait
in vain Or his own people at his
own empty boat.
Over and around this long thin
line of personal anguish, fresh men
today are rushing vast supplies to
keep our armies pushing on into

amidst the wreckage to salvage
ammunition and equipment that
are still disable.

But when I looked down I saw he

the air about six inches from the
ground. And in the palm of his
hand he held large, smooth
rock.

time. He seemed in his sleep to

it were his last link with a van

him from dropping it once he was

his recent report on naval activities
to the secretary of navy, Chief Pet
ty Officer Don c. Foote of the navy
recruiting station in 'Missoula said
today.
admiral Kings summary Of the
navy's Women's Reserve program
shows clearly what the navy thinks
OF it's women in uniform and of
the important service they are rem
dering,' Chief Foote said.
Foote quoted Admiral King as
saying in his summary of the Waves,
THE organization has been sue
cess from the beginning, partly be-
cause of the high standards
WAVES had to meet to be accept
ed, partly because no effort has
been spared to see that they are
properly looked out for, and partly
because Of their overpowering de-
sire to make good.
AS result of their competence,
their hard work, and their enthus-
iasm the release Of men for sea
duty has been accompanied in many
cases, particularly in offices, by in
creases in efficiency. The natural
consequence is an esprit de corps
which enhances their value to the
navy, and it is pleasure TO report
that in addition to their having
earned an excellent reputation as a
part OF the navy, they have become
an inspiration to all hands in navy
uniform"
Chief Foote said young women
from Western Montana, who are
serving in the Waves, are making an
outstanding record and are very en-
thusiastic about the opportunities
for training, travel and service the
Waves affords them.

BY S. BURTON HEATH NEA Staff Correspondent

When Congress made the new in- come tax rates retroactive, and ap- piled them to 1944 income, the legislators neglected to provide for changing the estimate forms that were based upon 1943 tax rates. Nor was any provision made for amend ing estimates to fit them to the new situation.
 Therefore taxpayers are SUD- posed to file their final estimates, by January 15, on the 1914 Form lO4O ES, and not on the new 1945 form Ca few of which are being distributed in advance).
 If you should happen to obtain a copy of the new 1945 Estimate Blank, you are not supposed to use it for the January 15 report.
 In most instances use of the now out-dated 1944 form will not do any harm. In some cases it will cause conscientious taxpayers who use the 1040-ES properly, to underestimate their tax obliga- ton.
 This will have two disadvan- tages. In the first place, they will be faced March Is with a much larger tax debt than they had ex- pected and may have to Scury around to raise the money to meet it. About this the only ap- parent hope is that collectors will take account of the Governments fault, and grant extension of time to pay the excess law.
 MAY VIOLATE LAW
 In the second place, if the tax obligation is underestimated more than 20 per cent, as the result of Uncle Sam's failure to provide for proper new estimate forms, the taxpayer will be in technical viola tion of the law and subject to penalties.
 Unoficial sources say that tax payers will not be penalized in such instances if the error was due to proper use of an outdated estimate form. If you are caught, you should present the circumstances to your collector, and ask him to see that you do not suffer for Con- gress' fault.
 While the estimate that you file must be made on the. 1924 blank, there is nothing to prevent your making your own personal and confidential estimate on 1944 Form 104O, for your own informa-
