NEW YORK.—Dr. James F. Ben- .
der, the Manhattan psychologist who
solves problems for weary industrial-
ists, today had a word of advice foi'
America’s stenographers: Marry an
engineer, if possible.
And, whatever else she may do, the
girl behind the typewriter is taking
a sour risk if she listens to the kind
words of a salesman.
“It makes no difference what type
salesman,” Bender said, peeking in-
to his book of figures at the National
Institute for Human Relations. “No
matter what they sell, they’re all
alike—and the records prove them to
be the very worst marital material in
the nation.”
Bender isn’t quite certain just why
the engineer rates as king of hearts.
“It’s probably because he’s apt to
be a stable person who has studied
the situation beforehand and knows
what he is about,” Bender said. “None
of my best friends are engineers, but
most of them that I meet seem to be
unemotional people.”

Buffalo Bill Really
A Dashing Hero \
Many colorful stones are toiu about
Col. Wm. Frederick Cody, popularly
known as Buffalo Bill. And, indeed,
his life does resemble that of^a dash-
ing hero in the pages of an adventure
book.
Buffalo Bill, who typifies the spirit
of the wild and woolly West, had
plenty of excitement during his life.
When he was ten years old he saw his
father stabbed in the back during a
political argument. At 15 he was
captured by Indians and forced to
walk 1,000 miles back to Fort Leav-
enworth.
For a time Buffalo Bill was a rider
on the Pony Express, a private postal
service that carried the mail from
Missouri to California. And during
the Civil War he was a scout for the
Union Army. Gen. Custer, famed for
his last stand, said that Buffalo Bill’s
eyes were better than field glasses.
The origin of his nickname is an
interesting one. Hired to supply meat
for workers on the Kansas Pacific
railroad, he is said to have killed
4,820 buffaloes in 18 months.

WASHINGTON.—The Bureau of
Labor Statistics estimated Wednes-
day that 35,000,000 man-days of em-
ployment, the third highest total on
record, were lost in work stoppages
in 1947.
This was small compared with the
peak of 116,000,000 man-days lost in
1946, but it was just under the next
highest total of 38,000,000 in 1945.
The average man-days lost during
the five-year 1935-39 period was 16,-
949,000. In 1937 it was 28,400,000.
The Bureau’s figures showed that
because of record employment in
1947 the percentage of the total avail-
able working time lost due to strikes
was the same as in 1937—four-tenths
of 1 percent. The working force in
1937 was much smaller.
The number of strikes dropped
from 4,985 in 1946 to 3,600 in 1947,
and the 1947 strikes were of shorter
duration and involved far fewer
workers. Approximately 2,200,000
went on strike in 1947, compared
with 4,600,000 in 1946 and 3,470,000
in 1945.
WASHINGTON. — Thursday, Jan.
15, is an important income tax date
for farmers, many business and pro-
fessional people and some wage
earners.
For those who must still file them,
it is the deadline for filing estimates
of federal income ta^ for 1947 and for
completing payments of estimated
tax if any is due. It’s the last date
also for changing, or amending, a tax
estimate if a previously filed estimate
was short of correct tax.
These estimates and payments
must be made regardless of what
Congress decides to do about cutting
federal income taxes. Any tax re-
ductions made by Congress will not
apply to 1947 income. The tax esti-
mates due Jan. 15 are bn 1947 income.
Most wage earners don’t have to
worry about Jan. 15 because they are
not required to file estimates. Wage
earners file estimates only if:
Their wages were not subject to
withholding tax—such as the pay of
domestic servants and farm laborers.
They have more than $100 income
outside of wages from which tax
was withheld (such as room rent,
dividends from an investment, profit
from the sale of an auto).
Then’ wages in 1947 exceeded
$5,000 plus $500 for each exemption
except the taxpayer’s own exemp-
tion.
For.example, a man who has a wife
but no children or other dependents
does' not file an estimate unless his
wages subject to withholding tax
were more than $5,500. If he has a
wife and one dependent child, he
files an estimate' if his wages were
more than $6,000.
Storekeepers, doctors, lawyers and
others in business or professions
who did not have taxes withheld
from 'their 1947 income, must pay
estirrtated taxes. They were sup-
posed to make their first estimates
of 1947 tax last March 15.-
Also on that date they were re-
quired to start paying estimated tax,
in quarterly payments at least. Final
estimated tax payment is due Jan. 15
provided, of course, they did not pay
all of the tax previously.
Farmers are not required to make
any estimate of 1947 tax at all until
Jan. 15. Because farm income is
highly dependent on weather condi-
tions, Congress excuses farmers from

RAPID CITY, S. D.—A Rapid City
bartender Tuesday gave any checks
which came his way the double
treatment.
He held them up to the light,
turned them over, read and re-read
them, and then scrutinized the per-
sons who wanted them cashed. His

marries at 23, after approximtaely
four years of working in an office.
“And she makes an excellent
wife,” he said. “There is only one
flaw, as far as I can see, and that is
she often develops stenographer’s
hips—which simply means they are
wider than the average college girl’s.”
Bender listed the boss, if he is a
bachelor or a widower, as next to the
engineer on the stenographer’s pre-
ferred list.
“This works out especially well,”
he explained, “when the girl is be-
tween 28 and 35. She has already
developed an appreciation of the
boss’ problems. The two have, com-
mon interests growing out of the
same job. She is able to help him
with office work at home.
“Most of the time, he is older than
she is and well enough established to
give her a secure position in life.”
But if the boss is a widower or has
been divorced, he is ranked close to
the top as a bad risk.
“He’s even a worse risk than the
also shows the average stenographer1 salesman,” Bender added.

making advance estimates.
They can make estimates and pay-
ments earlier if they wish. If farm-
ers wait until Jan. 15, they must pay
the full amount of their estimated
tax.
Persons who have been making
quarterly payments on estimated
taxes, but underestimated the amount
of their tax, can file a correction of
the estimate by Jan. 15 and pay
whatever they still owe. If they un-
derestimated their tax by more than
20 percent and do not correct that
estimate by Jan. 15 they may have to
pay a penalty fee.
Farmers, however, are not liable
to penalty unless their estimate is
more than 33 % percent under the
amount of tax actually owed.
Taxpayers can save themselves ex-
tra paper work and the government
additional bookkeeping by making
their final 1947 tax return and pay-
ment on Jan. 15 instead of waiting
until March 15. If a final return is
filed by Jan. 15, it can serve both as
a return and a declaration of esti-
mated tax. In that case, a separate
estimate need not be filed.
If you file a final return,, you make
it on Form 1040. If a declaration of
estimated tax is being filed,. you
make it on Form 1040-ES.
