During January

helena, Mont, e ~ - I'M
migration and Naturalization
Commissioner j. M. Swing re-
minded all aliens in the United
States today that each must re-
port his address to the Service
during January 1857.
The commissioner stressed that
a provision of the 1852 Immigra-
ton and Nationality Act requires
that all aliens except persons in
diplomatic status, foreign repre-
sentatives assigned to the United
Nations, and Mexican national
contract laborers must file such
a report each year during Janu-
airy.
Some 2,750,000 non-citizens are
expected to file address reports
in January, compared with g.
662, 1852 such reports filed in jan
uary 1855.
The Commissioner urged all
aliens to go to the nearest local
post office or immigration Service
field office to fill out an address
report form in compliance with
the law.
He noted that to meet require
ments of the law the cards must
be filled out during January.
Commissioner Swing said: "In
view of severe penalties for will
full violation of the address re-
port requirement all aliens are
urged to go to the nearest post
office or immigration Service Of
flee, fill out the address report
card and return it to the clerk"
He stressed that no alien should
mail his own card, but should re-
turn the completed form to the
post office or immigration Ser
vice clerk.
The Commissioner pointed out
that the willful violation of the
1852 immigration and Nationality
Act could make an alien subject
to a fine, Jail sentence, and sub
sequent deportation.
He added: 1.-THE Service has
made it as easy as possible for
the non-citizen to comply with
the provision of the law. 1t is
hoped that all non-citizens con-
,erned will report their address
January to avoid posi-
oility of penalties"

Educational Aid
Awaits Children
OF War Dead

Locating children of Americas
war dead and giving them infor-
nation about the educational aid
now available to them will be
one of the projects of the Ameri-
can Legion Auxiliary during the
coming year, according to Mrs.
Evelyn Sorenson; the Auxiliary's
local Education and Scholarships
Chairman.
Children of persons killed in
war or who died as a result of
war service are eligible for S11O
per month for SO months of high
er education" explained Mrs.
Sorensen. ITO take advantage of
this they must complete high
school and plan their studies so
that they can qualify for the
college courses they desire.
"Of the $4,000 eligible to en-
ter college last fall with this aid,
about half failed to take adj
vantage of their opportunity. We
hope to reach the younger stu
dents so that they can plan to
be ready for higher education
when they reach college age, and
receive the help of an America
grateful for their fathers sacri-
flee in the nations defense"

Internal Revenue
Dept. Notifies
Attorneys, Agents

Thomas M. Robinson, district
director of the Internal Revenue
Service, today called attention of
attorneys and agents enrolled
before the Department to renewal
requirements under the regula-
tons governing such practice that
will affect some $4,000 enrollees
during 1857.
These r persons who, as of
the time of their prior enrolment,
were found qualified to represent
claimants before the Department,
principally in Internal Revenue
matters, and whose enrollments
expire next year. Enrolment
cards are valid for five years
following date of issuance. The
large number of practitioners
who must file renewal applica-
tons in 1857 results from the
running of this five-year limi-
tation made effective beginning
January 1, 1852.
A recent amendment to the
Regulations permits application
for renewal of enrolment to be
made at any time during a "a
months period, beginning one
year before and ending one year
after expiration date. Holder Of
a void card is not permitted to
practice before the Treasury De-
partment.
Mr.. Robinson said machinery to
process the expected peak load
of renewals in all Internal Rev.
enue districts is being set up i'm
mediately. He urged enrollees
confronted with early expiration
dates to file Applications as soon
as possible.
Renewal applications (Form
23A) will be available at the Of
flee of the Director of Internal
Revenue, P. 0. Box 1177, Helena,
Montana. and must be filed there.

The Query Queen


Washington - Ever wonder
who's the official answer maj
for Uncle SAM"
Well, the "answer man" is
woman = energetic, perseverin;
Eleanor Clay. Around the Agri
culture Department, they refer t
her as the Query Queen.
For some strange reason, peopl,
across the country have the no.
ton that the Agriculture Depart.
ment has the answer for every.
thing.
And all Ag queries are fun.
nelled to Mrs. Clay in her office
just inside the front door of the
main Ag building in Washington
l spent a good part of the
other afternoon thumbing thrs
the mountain of requests.
Here's a sample:
(Which is the mother hen -
the one that lays the egg or the
one that matches the egg?"
Mrs. Clay had to consult the
Agriculture's top mother and egg
man on that one. The officia.
answer: "The chicken that does
the laying gets the maternity
honors."
It's amazing how much interest
there is" said Mrs. Clay, sin
eggs" The biggest part of the
$4,000 queries she receives each
year are about eggs.
Mrs. Clay, who displays Pene-
lopean patience, whatever that
means. said she is getting a bit
weary from having to reply to
the age-old puzzler: (Which came
first - the chicken or the egg??"
Her answer, which is about as
as anything I've heard, is:
You can't have one without the
other :"
1t would surprise you how
many educated adults still think
that you have to have a rooster
around before a hen lays an
egg.
Then the other day, a novice
luck farmer wrote in: How do
you raise ducks that have a
chicken mother?"
Mrs. Clay's response: Same as
a duck mother" but she
warned that the hen may die
If fright when she sees her
chicks" take to the water . i
On one rather quite afternoon,
Mrs. Clay received an urgent
,hone call from a Washington
housewife. The frantic woman
aid she had just taken an egg
ut of the refrigerator and placed
t on the counter. "And it be-
an rolling" she blurted, lend
yer END!"
rs there a live chick in it?"
he asked Mrs. Clay. "Of course
replied the query gal, mot
the egg was in the refrigera-
Dr."
She then explained the flip
UNCOVER was caused by the
istribution of air pockets in the
yg - a phenomenon that's old
,uff to professional egg people.
