in the fiscal year ended last June

The increase was attributed
partly to the fact that prices of

no longer profitable for junk men

Lady Liberty

Lady Liberty-the girl who holds
the torch above New York harbor-
has reached the venerable old age
of 81 years. She is gowned in
copper, which time and weather
have colored green. The copper.
however, is a mere shell, no thicker
than silver dollar. Sea winds
would blow it away if it were not
firmly fastened to the girdle Of
iron and steel which lies beneath.
Lady Liberty was gift from
France to the United States, and
was designed by the same Gustav
Eiffel who did the Eiffel tower.

Robinson Explains
Husband Wife Status
On Federal Tax

A married taxpayer is not al
lowed to claim an exemption for
his or her spouse on a separate
return if the spouse had any gross
income during the year, accord
ing to Thomas M. Robinson. COL
lector of Internal Revenue.
Many taxpayers confuse tn e
exemption allowed for a spouse
with the exemption allowed for a
dependent. T h e Revenue law
treats these differently. If the
income of a dependent was less
than $4,000 the taxpayer may
claimed the dependents exemp-
ton even though the dependents
income is not included. But the
law allows an exemption for the
spouse on a separate return only
if the spouse had no taxable in
come.
Where both husband and wife
had income during the year one
spouse's exemption may not be
claim on the other spouse's sep
arate return, even though the in
come of one was less than $500. 90.
1t will usually be to their advant-
age to file a joint return including
the income, exemptions. and de-
auctions of both spouses.
1t should be noted that a joint
return must be signed by b o h
husband and wife, and if any
part of the in C o m e was from
wages from which tax has been
withheld, all Withholding State
ments, (Forms WY must be at
tached to the return, Robinson
added.
