DC. Tax Returns
Due Tomorrow
AT Midnight
Persons 'DomiciIed'
Here Since Dec. 81
Must File Reports

Persons "domiciled" in the Dis
trict last December 81 have until
midnight tomorrow to have their
1945 District income tax returns and
payments in the mail.
"Domicile" here means legal resi-
dence in the District, which differs
from actual residence. Voting
privileges or tax payments in other
States have been held to establish
legal residence in. those States al
though the person paying actually
lives in Washington.
Tax Collector Guy Pearson said
his collection window at the District
Building will be open from 8:45 am.
to 3:45 pm. tomorrow but the in
come tax section of the Assessors
Office said it would be open until
4:45 pm. to help taxpayers in the
preparation of their returns. Pen
atty for late filing is Is per cent Of
the tax due. Penalty for delinquent
tax payment is per cent a month.
Returns Pour in by Mail.
During the last week, Mr.. Pear
son estimated, between 5000 and
5000 persons daily sent In their
returns by mail. About 20 bags Of
mail have accumulated In his ONCE
which won't be opened until to-
morrow, he indicated.
Yesterday several hundred per.
sons came to the District Building
only to find 1t closed.
In l945, the income tax produced
$500, 900 for the city. according to
testimony by Assessor Edward A.
Dent to a House appropriations
subcommittee recently. OF this, So
100000 was from personal income
and $5,40o.000 from corporate in
come tax.
Although District officials esti-
mated there are more than $50 1000
persons gainfully employed in the
city, only 85,755 persons paid the
local income tax in 1945-a falling
OF from the two previous years
when the number slightly exceeded
1900. Another 10000 filed returns
but did not have to pay any tax.
Way To Add To Rolls.
Mr.. Dent has expressed the opin-
ion that If the domicile clause were
changed to residence 100000 returns
would be added to the amount of
tax increased by $1,500,0 900.
II tax also was added on nom
residents who earn their income in
the city, another $4,000 returns
would be produced with a further
revenue increase of $750,00O.
Mr.. Pearson is aware that many
persons who should file a return
have not done SO. His Office is try
ing to catch up with the dodgers as
rapidly as possible. The assessor,
he said, has access to Federal in
come tax returns filed by District
residents, and these are checked to
determine If the same persons have
filed income levy returns at the
District Building.
The Tax Collectors mail also In
cludes many complaints from in
come taxpayers that the man or the
girl sitting next to them at the
office Is in the same position as the
complainant and pay no tax. Often
these massives contain the name
and address of the would-be dodger.
Other letters plead hard luck and
no funds as a basis for nonpayment.

Vacation Reading
By A ngelo Patri

The children need some good books
for their leisure hours now that they
are free of school lessons Camps
and summer schools should provide
for this need. Lay the good books
handy. Scatter them on tables
where the children are likely to find
them Look about for extras to add
to the collection already provided.
Many people have books on their
shelves that they would gladly send
to summer school groups and camps.
Get all that are available and place
them where children have to fall
over them If necessary to draw their
attention to them.
What sort of books? Match the
book to the child. There are books
for all kinds OF children, but do
not try to do the children good in
this way. Select good books-the
more interesting, the better Illus
trated-the better. Select good
stories. The way to get children to
form the habit of reading is to give
them books they like to read, and
that means story books. There are
q few children who want reference
and texts but most children want
stories. The world Is full of such
books for children and they are
priced so that anybody can buy
them. Alice in Wonderland" :, o.

collar edition as in the expensive

The old favorites should come first
of course, because they are sure to
delight the children as they de-
lighted their elders. The old fairy

Put in some poetry. A child reared

poetry has been cheated of the music

adolescents, Longfellow for the
younger ones, Emily Dickinson for
all of them-and add your favorite
poet to the lot. These cannot fail
TO give the children a great lift.
Take a bit of time now and then
to talk about the book the children
are reading. Once in q while pick
up neglected book, read one of the
best chapters, and lay 1t down, and
watch to see how eagerly 1t is lifted
by some interested child.

Furs for All
By Jane CLARK

It was not 30 very long ago that
fur coats were thought Of as most
cherished possessions, owned only by
the few who had the price to buy
them. Today, however, fur coats,
and very good ones, can be had at a
price which comes within the
pocketbook Of many more OF us
True enough. the mink coat, the
ermine, the Alaskan seal and such
precious furs still carry the sign of
the soaring dollar. But the woman
who must balance her budget is
basically interested in fur coat
which combines a reasonable amount
of the luxurious along with the
practically she demands in her
entire wardrobe
This season the selection of furs
which come under the classification
of budget furs,' Cinderella furs,"
is larger than ever before. De-
signers have worked hard at proving
that the less expensive fur pelts can
be made into coats which give the
appearance of being '.f1t to mingle
with the mink crowd" The high
styling once found only in the Gold
Coast furs now has been given to
coats in all price brackets, even
those beginning as low as $50.
Because Of this seasons spot
lighting of the fashion in furs,
coupled with the practical aspects
OF a fur coat, 1t is well to have the
latest facts on fur styling firmly
fixed In your mind before you set
OF to shop for your new coat. Give
careful thought to which of the
new lines will offer you and your
figure the most f1attery. Decide
from the wide variety of types of
coats which one will best satisfy the
needs OF the life you lead and OF
your wardrobe.
Neckines are news: They're
young and f1attering and versatile,
with collars of all sizes and shapes
and designs. Collars, high and roll
ing, soft-rolling, outstanding, or con-
vertible are all designed to give a
younger appearance. Simple neck
lines are often adorned with in

TRAVELLING WITH TWINS;

POTTERY MAKING

from Mrs. c. Med, Arlington.)
We found the most satisfactory
bed to be heavy cardboard pack
ing box. Ours was over a yard long,
about 18 inches wide and 8 inches
deep. Covered completely with
clean wrapping paper and padded
with the buggy pad and other bed
ding, it made neat bed which
could be moved indoors at night It
fit the back seat nicely and was
held in place by surrounding lug
gage. You could place yours length
wise of the car, partly resting on
and separated by your luggage.
The feeding problem and sterili-
cation were simplified by boiling
water and sterilizing half = dozen
glass jars, my demi-tasse spoons,
bottles and nipples each morning
on portable gasoline burner. I
am feeding the baby. so didn't have
to bother with formula except the
small amount to be mixed with
cereal. For this I used the pow
dered variety which blended with
cereal and canned" in jars, adding
water just before a feeding. Into
one of the jars put the spoons and
extra nipples and screw-on caps.
Into cookie tin of the right size I
put all the jars, plus bib and
paper napkins. Putting the food on
the car engine for about minutes
warns 1t sufficiently.
I think you will find that your
babies love riding, and the motion
of the car puts them to sleep quite
easily. Ours slept more travelling
than he ever has before or since.
We kept a supply OF toys and his
gym to amuse him.
One admonition-Do all your pre-
liminary packing and arranging the
night before you are to start. We
found the hardest part of the trip
was getting started on our way. A
bit of planning saves time and
tempers.
Does any one know how to bake
ham which has been incased In rye
dough after certain other wonderful
spices and juices were added? A
Dutch lady used this method in bak-
ing the most delicious meat I have
ever tasted, but was never able
to get her recipe. I would surely
appreciate it If some one would
volunteer this recipe, or any other
particularly tasty ham dishes.

on pottery making: The January

or perhaps side ties, ascots, or even
separate fur pieces which are in
serted into the neckline.
Sieeves star in interest,
mostly through the use of draped
fullness which falls from a snug-fit-
ting wristline. You'll find sleeves
of the leg-o-mutton type, spiraled
effects achieved through the use
of pelts which form a pattern on
the sleeve, and the deep dolman
and raglan line is very prevalent
In general, there are certainly nc
hard and fast rules this year, as to
which sleeve style dominates in fur
coat fashions. Tiers, capes and
drapes are used to make the sleeves
of a coat a point of interest and a
fashion focus point.
The soft shoulder line appears
in many new coats. Perhaps for
most in Importance Is the dropped
shoulder which leads dramatically
into sleeve fullness. Tucks, pleats,
and gentle shirring contribute to-
ward a soft, feminine look. However,
on the tailored, sport type coats, the
strictly squared shoulder line still
rules.
There's artistry in the back
design of fur coats this season.
Here fullness is generally centered
for wide, four rippled flare, or
perhaps softly belted in fuliness
There's much to be said about the
use Of shoulder yokes; wide, narrow
and shaped to make design interest

And the symptoms to guard

II you have the wings of an angel
maybe 1t is all right, but human
wings spoil the effect of the loyeliest
decolletage. Many garments today
are cut low so beautiful back is an
asset.
There is not much point in spend
ing money and time on the selection
of beautiful clothes unless you carry
yourself well. The simplest, least
expensive gown takes on an i'm
portant air If your carriage Is gal
liant, while the most expensive ones

your income is generous 1t Is
shame to waste good clothes on a
slumping posture. If your income Is
modest you simply cannot afford
anything but the best physical
alignment.
The round shoulder Is one of the
most prevalent feminine sins against
good carriage. Many women detract
from their charm by allowing their
upper backs to become rounded,
their heads to protrude forward and
their busts to sink into their ribs.
If this is characteristic of your
silhouette, or If you have tendency
to it, few special exercises are
crying to be taken.
Here is one; Stand erect. Bend
your elbows and raise your arms
up In front of you to shoulder height.

Another: Raise your arms back

The Young Idea
By Betty and Helen


We don't think we're being grim.
We think we're being sensible. The
topic We have in mind reminds us
of that now-famous remark of a
friend of Mark Twain's-"Everybody
talks about the weather, but no one
does anything about It," Maybe,
with many Of us, that's just about
the way 1t is with our outlook on
infantile paralysis. The dragon
casts its shadow every summer, and,
for those 1t strikes, that shadow
can some times last lifetime.
Talking isn't enough, and teen
ayers are past the stage where
mother does their thinking for them.
Just how much do YOU know about
the precautions most likely to be of
value where the polio virus is con-
cerned?
Trying to find some data worth
passing on, we consulted the District
Chapter Of the National Foundation
for Infantile Paralysis. Miss Sarah
e. Wilson, executive secretary Of the
chapter. quoted some fundamental
dos and don'ts. and here they are:
/. Avoid over-tizing and extreme
fatigue from strenuous exercise.
2. Avoid sudden chilling, such as
would come from plunging into cold
water on very hot day.
3. Pay careful attention to per-
sonal cleanliness, such as thorough
hand-washing before eating.
4. Avoid tonsil and adenoid op-
erations during an epidemic.
S. Use the purest milk and water
you can. Contaminated water and
milk are always dangerous. Keep
flies away from food. Flies, Incl
dentally, have repeatedly been
shown to carry the infantile
paralysis virus.
g. Do not swim in polluted water.
Z. Avoid unnecessary contact with
