MODERN
MANNERS.
Certain Social Routine Obligatory
For New Members of Congress
By CAROLYN HAGNER SHAW

Now that the Eighty-f1fth
Congress has been duly sworn
in, it might be of interest to
see just what obligatory social
routine a member of Congress
is expected to follow when he
joins this august body.
Many of the rules laid down
by tradition have had to be
modified during the past few
years. In the past each official
was expected to call upon all
those who outranked him. AS
you can we'll imagine. this
would be a pretty big order to-
day when the number Of high
ranking officials has grown in
keeping with the expansion of
our Government. So COM
mon sense has had to step in.
Today, therefore, it is only
considered obligatory that a
Senator or Representative
land his wife, call upon the
following: The President. the
Vice President, the Chief JUS
tice of the United States, the
Associate Justices of the Su-
preme Court, the Speaker of
the House, the President Pro
Tempore of the Senate and all
members of the cabinet.
Not a Must
1t is optional today whether
they call upon the heads of
foreign missions; in other
words, the Ambassadors and
Ministers who represent their
countries here. Also. it is not
obligatory that a Senator call
upon all Senators who pre-
coded him in Office, or is it a
must" that a Representative
call upon the members of the
Senate.
Due to the growth of our
Government and Washingtons
ever expanding population. the
information that is engraved
upon a calling card assumes
Importance. 1t is to be re-
membered that the purpose of
a calling card is to identify.
If this is not accomplished, it
defeats its own purpose. To-
day, for the sake of clarity,
new forms have been adopted.
In former years a Senator's
calling card was engraved "Mr.
Smith" and the name of the
State from which he came was
engraved in the lower right
hand corner. "a Senator al
ways uses the prefix Mr."
when referring to himself)
His given name was never
used except where there were
two Senators with the same
surname. Today the &C
cepted form for a Senator's
card is the placing of the full
name. without a prefix, in the
center of the card; in the
lower left hand corner, United
States Senate. and in the
right hand lower corner the
name Of the State from which
he comes.
A Representatives. card

out prefix. and in the lower

left hand corner appear the
words (using two lines)

right hand corner, on one
line. the District from which
he comes. and under that. the
STATE. The wife's card in both
cases is the same as any other
married woman's-"Mrs. John
Paul Green"
Before World War II. a
special day each week was
set aside for leaving cards on
officials who represented diff
ferent branches of our Gov
eminent. This old rule has
been modified today and it is

ated by double acrostics," she
says. (She had one published
last year in Elizabeth Kings

of great pride to her whole
family Il suppose that had
something to do with it."
She put her talent for double
acrostics to work as a men,
Der of a special women's

members did volunteer work in
the Office of the chief censor.
They were fairly simple

Mrs. Clark frankly admits
she doesn't like to cook. She

II you are sure that your per
sonal deductions are less than IL
percent standard deduction, there is
no need to itemize them. But It is
worth the effort of calculating your
tax on both forms. Here are some
deductions you should be careful
not TO overlook;
Interest on Loans
The interest you pay on loans is
deductible. This includes mortgages
automobile, appliance, home i'm
proyement or personal loans you
may have. The part Of carrying
charges" representing interest on
installment purchases is deductible
Evidence such as q statement from
the seller should be obtained ia
show the amount of interest you
paid during the year.
State and Local Taxes
Most taxes, other than federal
taxes, are deductible. These include
state and local real estate, personal
property, income, retail sales, poll
taxes and. in all but few states
gasoline taxes. You can also deduct
auto licenses and registration fees
but not dog or hunting licenses.
Charitable Contributions
Another type of deduction you can
take If you itemize your deductions
is your contributions to any IRE
ligious. charitable. educational, sci
entific or literary" organizations
These contributions are deductible
up to 20 percent Of your income, and
up to 30 percent IL at least 10 per
cent OF your income was paid as
gifts to religious organizations
schools or hospitals.
In adding up your contributions
don't forget that gifts OF property
can be deducted at their fair market
value as Of the time they were
: donated. Suppose, for example, you
contributed to your church share

while you had II. You can deduct
