Why Not Let Them
Blow Bubbles
Up NeMsfeafures


Little children love to play in
water Mothers of little children
usually object to this kind of play
for the very practical reason that
it is messy and requires a lot of
cleaning up. Also there is always
the question of the child becoming
chilled.
These are valid objections and
yet waterplay has lot of real val
ue for the pre-school child.
The boisterous, aggressive child
often quiets down when he is all
owed free rein with a tub of water.
Also the timid youngster seems
often to gain new freedom when
he is slashing sudsy water about.
Every mother knows how much
children enjoy their baths. 1t is
certainly not the getting clean that
entrances them, it is some quality
in the water itself as it drips from
a sponge, pours from. one vessel to
another, foams up with soap, tric-
kles down the arms that fascin-
ates the children.
Bubble Fun
With some planning, it is not
impossible to give youngsters the
joy of playing in water. Try it and
you may find you have a happier
more cooperative youngster on
your hands.
Tricia was 8. One warm summer
day she was especially difficult.
She pulled books out of the book
case, dumped an ashtry acrefully
on to the pages of the book, turned
a few more pages and smeared
more ashes on the stiff pages. She
clamped the book down on her fin
ger and began to cry The cries
brought mother who wasn't exact
ly pleased by the mess she saw.
Then followed seedlings, tantrums
and fuss. Finally mother pulled
herself together and said:
"Tricia, how would you like to
blow some bubbles?"
The little girl jumped up, her
face beaming: Bubbles, bubbles,
bubbles!" she sang.
Smart Mother
Mother started toward the kit
chen, Tricia jumping along behind.
They got the pitcher, filled it with
warm water, added some soap
flakes. Tricia took her little cup
and the straws mother handed her.
Together they went to the porch,
where Tricia expectantly slipped
into chair at her small table.
Mother poured the sudsy water in
to her cup, Tricia put her nose
down into the cup, beamed up at
her mother, then she swished her
hands around in the cup, spilling
water on the table, she smeared the
water around the table top, hum
ming to herself as she did it.
Finally she blew through the
straw and the soapy water foamed
up. She grabbed handfuls of it,
squeezed them between her fingers
and blew them into the air, happy
smile played over her face and she
sang softly, then louder, and then
softly again, "sudsy bubbles-bub-
bles7 1 make bubbles" There
wasn't any doubt about her joy
with this play.
Happy Child
: Of course she got wet, but is was
warm and she didn't have any
thing on but a sunsuit and shoes.
The shoes got wet, too, and Mother
came along and took them off. Now
Tricia patted some bubbles on her
little pink feet and howled with
glee as she wiggled her toes.
Mother looks at her radiant
little dauphtnr and thOuohf 70 bar
sef-Why didn't l ever think OF
this before? It's a lot less mess
than those ashtrays.

Filing Estimated Tax By January Is
Gives Farmer Til Apr. Is for Return

Farmers have until Thursday,
January Is, to file their estimat-
ed Federal income tax return for
the year 1858. unless they plan
to file their final return on or
before February Is, Mr.. G. c.
Hooks, director of Internal Rev.
enue for the Toledo District, said
today.
He pointed out that farmers
who file an estimated return on
January Is and pay the tax due
have until April Is to file a final
return and pay any balance of
tax due. Otherwise, he said, the
law requires they file their final
return and pay the full amount
of the tax due by February Is.
Mr.. Hooks said this option is
available to farmers only. The
tax law defines a farmer as one
who derives two-thirds or more
of his gross income from farm
ing.
He advised farmers that if they
filed a Federal income tax re-
turn last year, the necessary
forms for 1858 win be mailed to
them. For those who did not file,
or for some other reason do not
receive forms in the mail, blank
forms may be obtained from the
nearest Internal Revenue Serv-
ice office or from the local post
offices or banks.
MIR. Hooks reminded that ev-
eryone who had a gross income
(not nett of $500 or more during
the past year must file a Fed
eral income tax return, whether
or rot any tax is owed.

Self-Employment
Tax Reminder
Issued Farmers

Most self-employed farmers
now are covered by the Federal
Social Security law and must pay
self-employment tax for 1858,
Mr.. c.. c. Hooks, Director of
Internal Revenue for the Toledo
District, reminded this week.
He said the rate of self-em-
ployment tax for 1858 is three
and three-eighths per cent, in ad-
dition to any income tax payable.
Under the Federal Social Sc
curity law, Mr.. Hooks said, tax
es are paid by employees and
their employers, and the self-em-
ployment tax must be paid by
persons who are self-employed.
These taxes are placed in spe-
cial funds by the u. S. Treasury
and are used only to pay for old
age, survivors and disability ben
efits under the Federal social Sc
curity program, he said.
Mr.. Hooks explained a self
employed person is one who OPP
crates his own business. Farm
ers who operate a farm, either
on their own land or land rented
from someone else, are self-em-
ployed. This is true, he said,
even though they may employ
someone else to do the farm work
and do not live on the farm
themselves.
Mr.. Hooks reminded farmers
they must file Federal income
tax return and pay any self-em-
ployment tax due. even though
they owe no income tax.
Normally. he added, no self

He said the only exception to
this rule is for taxpayers 65 or

are not required to file a return
unless their gross income was
