Austin, Texas, Dec. 10.—In Novem-
ber two sets of triplets and forty-
eight sets of twins were born In Texas,
according to a report on vital stn
tlstics Just completed by State Health
Officer Manton M. Carrlck. This Is nn
Increase of twelve sets of twins com-
came effective November '-M, 1021,
"unless otherwise provided for."
"To avolu error in the preparation

'The exemption allowed for a de-
pendent 14 increased from $200 to

lies are allowed a personal exemption
of $2,BOO (instead of $2,000) unless

$2,000 operate to increase the tajc
which would lie payable If tin exemp-
tion were $2,u00 by more than the
amount of the net income in excess

sons having gross Incomes for 1921
of $5,000 or over are retqulrcd to j
make a return, regardless of the
amount of net Income.
"Provision is tuad« for the repc<al ]
as of January 1, 1922 of the tux on
stockholders of a personal service cor-j
poration as such. After that date
such corporations are to be taxed In
the same manner as other corpora-
tions.
"The Income tax on .corporations
for the calendar year 1922 and there-
after is Increased from 10 to 12 1-2
per cent. The $2,000 exemption here-
tofore allowed corporations is to be
granted only to Ihose corporations
whose net Income is $25,000 or less.
"Many persons are under the Im-
pression that the taxes on Ice cream,
soft drinks, etc., monthly returns of
which are required, have been repeal-
ed with the enactment of the new act.
These taxes remain In force until the
end of the calendar year 1921.
"No change Is made in the tux on
admissions, except that after January
1, 1922, there will be no tax where
