The two young fellows were
strangers In town and. it being
about noon, they went to the lead-
ing hotel for dinner. Afterward, as
they looked about the lobby, one re-
marked. "Reckon we could play a
band or two of dominoes before we
hit the road again? Maybe we
could get up a four-handed game.”
Two middle-aged townsmen perked
up at this and one said, "We might
take you on—and, to make it
sporting, what do you say to a little
bet?” The older men were the best
domino players in the town and,
having played together so much as
partners, they knew each other’s
style.
Nevertheless, the strangers pro-
ceeded to take them like Grant took
Richmond for five games in a row
at a dollar a game, and then depart-
ed.
The defeated pair were unable to
understand how they could have
been beaten so thoroughly and were
telling several friends about it:
“Them fellows sure was nervous
and would fidget with their dominoes
and rap on the table quite a bit.”
The depot agent exclaimed:
"No wonder! I know them. They
dropped by the station to say howdy
to me this moroin’, on their way to
San Antonio. They’re telegraph ope-
rators and no doubt when one had
the double-five or the six-ace, he’d
tap the Information off to his part-
ner in the Morse code!”
Income Tax
Information
WHO MUST FILE A RETURN
A proposal to do something that
will help the farmer has been made
Austin where Representatives
Hartzog and Morse have introduced
Constitutional amendment to cut
the interest rate on loans secured
by a lien on farm machinery and
equipment, livestock, crops or other
farm produce, or real estate. The
maximum rate on such loans would
be 8 per cent under the Constitution-
amendment. whereas 10 per cent
interest is permitted now.
Every single person must file a
Federal Income tax return whose
gross income for the year from all
sources was $500 or more; that is
as much as $9.62 per week. Widows,
widowers, divorcees and married per.
sons separated by mutual consent,
are classed as single persons.
Every married person, living with
husband or wife throughout the year
must file a return if his or her gross
income, together with any income of
the spouse, was as much as $1200 lor
the year; that Is, as much as $23.08
per week. If husband and wife both
have income, they must both make
a return. Such return tuny be made
separately, or, if they are both citi-
zens or residents, they may make a
joint return. A joint return may be
made by husband and wife even
though one has no income, and a
joint return is advisable in the case
of persons, one of whom has no In-
come, who marry during the year,
since the- personal exemption attri
butable to each spouse during the
period of pre-marital status is allow-
able in a joint return.
A joint return must he signed by
both husband and wife and verified
by a written declaration that it is
made under the penalties of perjury.
Where separate returns are filed
by husband and wife on form 1040,
the joint personal exemption allow-
able ($1200 where the married stat-
us has existed throughout the year)
may be taken by either, or divided
between them in anyproportion agre
ed upon. If separate returns are filed
one may no* report income which
belongs to the other, but must report
only the income which belongs to
him or to her.
No person is exempt from filing a
return if his gross income is equal
to or greater than the amount speci-
fied above for his classification.

Authorities may. or may not, have
received the following letter—which
is going the rounds of the papers:
Dear Adjacent General:
My husband was induced into the
surface 18 months ago and I ain’t
received no pay since he was gone.
Please send me my elopment as
he is my only support and I kneed
him every day to buy and keep us
in clothing. I am a pore woman and
both sides of my parents are very
old and I can’t expect anything from
them.
Do I get any more than I am going
to get? Please send me a letter and
tell me if my husband has made ap-
plication for a wife and child. 1 have
already written to the President and
got no answer and if 1 dot^’t hear
from you, I will write Uncle Sam
about you and him both.
The Navy relies upon Canadian shipyards to complete enough sub-
chasers to make up flotilla numbers. Production of Fairmilea hat
been stepped up to the point that deliveries now keep pace with j1
training of 12-man crews
1>IG brothers of Canada’s speedy
•D torpedo boats are the Fairmiles,
fast patrol vessels which are carry-
ing disaster to Nazi subs. Dozens
of these swift craft are being built
by famed Canadian fishing boat
builders who in peace-time turned
out graceful fishing vessels and
sleek schooners like the Blue Nose.
More than 100 feet in length, the
Fairmlle subchasers are manned by
12-man crews. They are of wood con-
struction and cost in the neighbor-
hood of S125.000.
In 1939, there was practically no
shipbuilding industry to speak of in
Canada, but now the Dominion em-
ploys many thousands of men in
boat construction. In addition to
Fairmiles. cargo ships, corvettes
and minesweepers are being turned
out In large numbers, as well as an
infinite variety of small craft such
as crash boats, tenders, rescue
launches. Tribal class destroyers too
are being built In Canada and cargo
vessels are being launched at the
rate of two a week. /
Almost ready to take to th#
water, this Fairmlle makee a
graceful photo with ite long, racy
lines against a bank of clouds.
“Give us more Fairmiles," says
Chief of Naval Staff. “The Nails,
will learn to respect them.".
Slates nor the vice presidnt nor Fed- j tained by reference to
eral judges nor members of Congress' tained in the form
are exempt from filing returns.
Moreover, all Income from what-
ever source, unless specifically ex-
cluded by statute, must be reported
in the return. The types of Income
specifically exempt are listed in the
instructions accompanying the re-
turn form.
