Process Simpliied

There's no doubt that the
Internal Revenue Service is
making a valient effort to SIM
plify the reporting of taxes. In
the past IL months it has come
up with two perceptibly i'm
proved forms-one last Sep
TENDER designed for taxpayers
with incomes up to $4,000 and
now this one designed for tax
payers with a limited amount
of dividends.
But the simplification is Gre
ating its own complexities.
Now that there are three ma
jor tax forms which you well
may be eligible to use. which
one is best for you? Here's a
quick guide to clip for re-read-
ing before you choose tax
form to fill out next spring.
There is Form 1040A.
This is the easy card form
which contains only Is ques-
tons, and if your income is less
than $4,000 you don't even
have to figure out the tax you
owe. The district director will
do the calculating for you. and
you needn't pay the tax until
you get the bill.
You'll be able to use 1040A
If your gross income this year
is less than $4,000; if it con-
sists only of salary and wages

CHICAGO, Dec. % (AP).-
Birthdays truly make your
heart glow.
The older you get, the more
your heart will actually shine
or f1uoresce if exposed to ultra
violet or black light.
It shines more because "age
pigment" accumulates in living
cells of the heart. This pigment
is a strange and perhaps a very
significant fact in the puzzle
of why and how we grow old
and die.
The pigment shines with a
kind of orange light when the
heart is inspected with ultra
violet light.
The age pigment concen-
trating in human hearts,
nerves, brains and muscles is
being investigated for clues to
aging.
The story is told in an ex-
hibit today to the American
Association for the Advance
ment of Science.
Children up to about age 10
apparently have none of the
age pigments in their hearts,
autopsy studies show.

Birthdays Really Put
Glow in Aging Hearts

But the amount increases in
proportion to age thereafter,
scientists of the gerontology
branch, National Heart 1nsti-
tute, and Baltimore city hos
pitals fad.
In persons of advanced age,
perhaps 20 per cent of the
heart is made up of the age
pigment, which is relatively in
active and seemingly useless.
But it is replacing some of
the contractile tissue of the
heart cells. A big question is
whether this is connected with
the higher death rates that
come with age.
The age pigment was first
noticed many years ago. Main
goals now are in trying to iso-
late and identify it, and deter
mine what it means.
Where the pigment comes
from and why are also still
unknown. 1t doesn't seem to be
correlated with heart failure,
or any particular disease.

Reports of unrest sweeping

Iraqi tradesmen crossing the

tribesmen arming farmers and
other civilians for an open
