Neb—(UP)—Don't cross , your legs if you are riding in the ' fr.rit seat of an automobile with a| reckless driver. That is the advice of Dr. Robert , Funsten, professor of orthopedic j surgery at the University of Vir- I ginia. He read a paper on "Dashboard Dislocations of the Hip" at the 50th annual convention of the American Orthopaedic association here. This type injury is a frequent result of automobile collisions and presents a serious surgical problem, he aid. The passenger in the front seat can avoid it by planting both feet on the floor board and , leaning well back in the seat. If he crosses his legs, he is apt to dis’., ate his hip as well as injure his knee. Tliht means confinement in a hospital for eight to ten weeks, Dr. Funsten said.

EMPLOYERS NOT FILING RETURNS Revenue Collector Reports Many Employers violating Law IndiimapollH. Aug. 14 Collector of Internal R< venue Will H. Smith today revealed that a checkup "f Adiims county indicated that many emplovers liable for taxes Impose <1 under Title VIII of the Social Security Act are »«' fillll K '■'' tl,r " s and paying the tax. “Apparently many feel that miles they employ eight or more they are not liable." Mr Smith said., ■This is not true. The title V 111 tax Is due from every taxable employer and from his employe. It is due and payable monthly, ihe employer deducts one per cent of the employe's wages and adds another one per cent as his own share of the tux." Title V.Il of the Social security i act. approved August 14, 19 ’5. imj poses an excise tax upon all emploers (irrespective of tile number' of Individuals they employ) and an tax upon their employes measured by the amount of wages paid on and after January 1. 1937. with respect to employment on and after that date. The rate of each | tax for the year 1937. 1938 and 1939 is one per cent of the wages paid. The law provides that the employer shall collect the employe's tax by deducting the amount of such tax from the wages as and when paid. Every employer who. during any calendar month beginning at-' ter December 31. 1936. employs one or more individuals in a business not specifically exempt from the tax. is required to make a return on Form SS-1. The basis of pay l and period of time worked are im- : material. Therefore, temporary or ; occasional employes are liable for ! tax just the same as permanently employed individuals. Tli i s tax must be reported monthly ami the returns for one month must be filI ed not later than the end of the following month. Collector Smith further stated ] that drastic penalties, ranging ! from 5 percent to 25 percent of the tax due, are to lie assessed against employers who willfully neglect to pay this tax monthly, and pointed I out that when an employer makes a deduction from the employee's : taxable wages under the provisions of Title VIII. he becomes the custodian of federal funds. The law al- . so makes' the employer liable for ' the employee's tax on all wages paid by him, whether he collects it | from his employee or not. It is suggested that any employers liable for the tax who have not tiled returns should communicate with the office of the collector of . internal revenue at once in order to avoid further penalties and to facilitate the setting up of records in their behalf. o S"BLISTER5"BLISTER FLUID” SAID TO RELIEVE ADDICTS London.— (U.R) —Remarkable results of a “blistering-fluid” treatment for drug addiction are described in the current issue of the Lancet by Dr. Margaret Vivian.
