cause his marks were good and
since he was studying medicine
they felt assured of his success.
Both families helped foot the bills
for the couple.
In another instance the girl took
a business course and found a job
as a stenographer. Her husband
completed his last college year
with funds from father and an un-
Gle. A grandmother paid the rent.
Typical is the industrious stu
dent who worked at the local gas
station part-tirne while his student
wife worked AS librarian part
time. They didn't stop there eith-
er. They lived in a small house
rent-free in return for being care
takers of an estate.
One young working wife took a
job near her husbands campus.
She works as a clerk in nearby
store and waitress in the local res
taurant. Her income of $40 week
helps pay part of his tuition also.
City students, it seems, have an
easier time of swinging the stu
dent-job idea than suburbanites.
Part-time jobs are easier to find
in the city and It is easier to find
one that fits into the school sche-
dule as q rule.
If you've been having a prob
lem selling Mod or Dad on the
marriage idea, one student sugg-
ests you follow this plan which
helped her prove to her folks that
she was a good marriage risk.

income-producing status.
2. Try to do something in your
own spare time.
8. Get your own parents on your
side.
a. After you've sold your par
ents, suggest they help you ap-
peal to the young mans folks.
5. Sell the easy parents" first.
Then get them to help soften up
the other two and be sure to have
a softening-up period before you
tip your hand.
6. Resist with all your might any
plan that involves you living with
in-laws, or living apart. If that is
the only solution it is better to de-
lay the wedding.

Your Election Laws

Another saving of taxpayers
money was accomplished by
alterations made in the Ohio
election laws.
While it will not apply in 1856
the new laws just effective on
January l, eliminate a municipal
wide Primary Election where the
only contest within a city is for
Councilman from a ward. When
such a situation developes, under
the changes recommended by the
Secretary of States office and
election officials serving on a
legislative committee and passed
by the Legislature, the election
will only be held in the ward
where there is a contest within
the party and only for that Of
flee.
Another change which applies
in the so-called "odd-year" cleo
tions, when municipal and town
ship officials will be elected, pro-
vides that candidates for town
ship offices are permitted to file
as a group. The law already pro-
vides that candidates for mem
Der of board of education and
candidates for a village having
less than 1000 population, may
file on group petitions.
These changes along with a
number of others (although few

Deductions Reduce Your
Income Tax

laVOrlte word. Every dollar you
can deduct in figuring your tax
puts twenty cents to ninety-one
cents in your pocket, depending
upon the tax bracket you're in.
Medical deductions were dis
cussed in a previous article. Here
are some of the other deductions
you may be able to take if you
itemiZe them instead Of using
the short 104OA form or the
standard 1919 deduction:
Contributions
You can deduct your contribu-
tions to religious, charitable,
scientific, literary and educa-
tional organizations, and to non
profit cemeteries.
Include contributions of goods
at their fair value, as well as
cash, but not your personal SER
vices (blood donations are re-
garded as a personal service and
not deductible).
If you contribute stocks, real
estate or other property, you can
deduct their value at the time of
the gift, ever if it IS consider
ably more than me original cost
to you.
You are ordinarily not per
mitted to deduct a contribution
which you have only pledged
and not paid during the tax year
You can deduct up to 20rr
Of your income for any eligible
charitable contributions, and ur
to 300 if at least 1917 was in
gifts to religious organizations,
schools or hospitals.
Interest and Taxes
Interest you pay on personal
loans and other Indebtedness is
dcductible.
II there is mortgage on your
home, be sure to find out what
part Of your payments is inter
est and deduct it on your tax re-
turn. The same applies to auto
mobile financing and installment
purchases.
If some of your credit buying
| involves carrying charges" in
stead Of specified interest, you
| are allowed to deduct such
charges up to &c of the average
monthly unpaid balance if they
are listed separately in your con-
tract or bills.
Most taxes you paid for your
self or a member Of your house
hold, except federal taxes, are
deductible. However taxes are
not deductible when included in
the price and not separately
charged to the customer.

The previous articles in this
series were intended to help you
in preparing your tax return for
1855. This article deals with your
taxes for 1856 and beyond.
When the time comes to make
out your tax return for 1856 if
will be too late to take advant-
age Of some possible tax savings.
Here are some possibilities for
your tax which you
can't do anything about after the
end Of the tax year:
|. If you are providing nearly
half the support of someone
who might qualify as a de-
pendent, consider providing
more than half so you will
be entitled to a $500 eXemp-
ton. The extra amount you
contribute may be less than
the tax saving.
2. Remember that unless :
dependent is under 10 or q
student, you will lose the
exemption if his income is
5000 or more. Be sure to
check the income of every
one you expect to claim as
a dependent.
3. If you are planning to be
married, a wedding before
midnight December 81, 1856
will give you the privilege
of filing a Joint return for
1856. This probably would
result in substantial tax
saving.

8. If you sell your home at /
