Q g. Girl Scouts and Brownies will attend Church services Sunday as they start the week of national commemoration. Several window displays will appear in local stores also as part of the local effort to observe the 44th birthday of the founding of the famous organisation.

CHAPTER TWENTY-ONE MATTERS tn the Tyler household were no worse, though little better than they had been. Mother Fyler had decided not to die after lU, but merely to remain In bed as an invalid. However, she consented now to sit up, demanded constant watting on from Effie, and wanted Wade at her side too much of the time. i i These days Jemmy was the one happy member of the household. He and Hamlin, the puppy, even stole away from the house sometimes on Sundays, because Adam was full of dog knowledge and was aiding Jemmy in the development of Hamlin's personality and everyday good manners. Sunday rules had relaxed a bit for them all, now that Mrs. Tyler was bedridden. At Lora’s suggestion they had taken to going to church, instead of conducting gloomy prayers in the parlor. This, for the moment, was their only contact with social Ufa Mother Tyler’s constitution was probably ironclad. She could make herself til it ate tried, but she would probably never wiU herself to go down in complete defeat It was Wade who wood be more Mkely to give in under the strain. One day Lora took a walk down Dogwood Lane and had tea with Serena Lord, a childhood friend of Wade's. She asked Serena’s help in unravelling the mystery of Virginia's death. Serena glanced at ter uncertainly and then came to » decision. "There are some who say her death was not an accident. Perhaps that io something you >Ught to know.** Lora blinked in amazement •You might as well know what has been rumored, though you needn’t beUeve it I’m not sure tett 1 do myself. But there have been whispers of suicide.” "SuicideT But why? Surely Virginia wouldn’t . . “Wade admitted to some quarrel with ter a week or ao before her death—something he blamed himself tor. That was strange because Virginia was never the sort to quarrel. However, there is Mrs. Tyler to consider. I suspect that she did her best to make Virginia unhappy. Perhaps she succeeded beyond her hopes.” “But Mother Tyler has only praise tor Virginia now," Lora protested, keeps Jxn* up to.me as a model wife."

Serena lost her tolerant attitude • for the first time. “Os course! She i has to find some way to make you ■ unhappy. Oh, but she makes me • furious, that old woman! I can be i generous to Wade and even to I Morgan—but I can only see blame ; as far as Mrs. Tyler is concerned. I She would go to any lengths td i gain her own ends. Why do you suppose Wade and Virginia had i separate rooms in that house ? His , mother took ears of that Ahyi thing to keep them apart. She told Virginia that Wade didn’t sleep i well at night, that he had never i been strong. Separate bedrooms ; were a necessity. Since Virginia was never one to stand up to her, i any more than Wade could stand up to her, that was the way it was. ; Virginia had been brought up with t her parents aa servants on thd premises and she lacked Morgan’s strong-headed ways. But we’vei i talked of unhappy things long enough, Lora. I’ve just tried to i give you the glimpse of the past i that you asked for. The present is. i something else. The present is you) my dear. And, frankly, I think i you’re the very best thing that has ever happened to Wade. Much better tor him than Virginia." i i Two weeks ago Mrs. Channing ’ invited me up to her house for • tea.” Lora could sense Wade’s stiffeni ing. ’You declined, I trust?” > “No—l accepted. I saw no reas- > on for declining. 1 don’t want to . carry on old feuds. The matter I Mrs. Channing wanted to talk to me about is bigger and more im4 portant than any small feud." L He rose Impatiently to replenish’ i the fire. “Have I not enough wor- > ties at this time, Lora? Must you i add to them by striking up a ridiculous friendship with this woman ■ who has done nothing but injure me?” I This is scarcely a friendship,” ' Lora said. “I believe you are as interested as I am in any plan : which might lead to a halting of i this dreadful war." "And what has Morgan Chan- : ning to do with such plans?” he asked over his shoulder, prodding I the fire with impatient thrusts of the poker, “Why should she even ■ care?" ■ ■ ' ' , “I’m not sure why." At least, Lora thought, she had caught his interest. aM ate went on auickl» :

Answers To Questions On Income Tax Return

(Editor’s note: You have until midnight April 16 to file your federal income tax return for 1955 without penalty. Thia la the fourth of five articlea providing down-to-earth anawera to questions moat often asked by taxpayers. The'aeries was prepared in cooperation with the internal revenue service.) By FELIX COTTEN WASHINGTON (INS) — If you itemise Your deductions on page two of your tax return, you may deduct a variety of things in arriving at taxable income. Among these are medical expenses and cost of child care within specific limitations, contributions, interest, local taxes and certain losses. •If you are under 66, you may deduct medical expenses to the extent that they exceed three percent of your adjusted gross income, which Is the income you enter on page one of your return. If you or your' wife reached *5 last year, you may deduct all your medical expenses for the care'of both up to certain limits. Whatever your age, you may include in medical expenses the cost of medicines and drugs In excess of one per cent of your adjusted gross income. Here are answers to some of the frequent questions that arise regarding child care and other deductions. Q. I paid |BSO to a nursery school during 1955 for the care of my four-year old daughter while I worked as a full-time stenographer. May I deduct this amount in a Joint return filed with my husband* A. If the combined adjusted gross income of you and your husband did not exceed $4,500, you may take the maximum deduction of S6OO. But the deduction is reduced by the amount that your combined adjusted gross income exceeds $4,500. If it totaled $5,100, you would have no deduction. If your husband is capable of self-support, you must file a Joint return with him in order to claim the deduction. Q. Under what circumstances may care expenses be deducted? A. When they are for children, stepchildren or legally adopted children under 12, and for a person physically or mentally incapable of caring for himself, regardless of age.—— Q. I gave my old television set to the Boy Scouts and also paid SSO rent for a meeting place for one of their troops during 1955. Are these items deductible as contributions? ' A. Yes. But the TV set must be valued at fair market value as of the date you gave it to the Boy Scouts, and not at original cost. Q. May I deduct depreciation of personal property in figuring my taxable income?

"Perhaps she likes the sense of power she gains from mixing in politics. Perhaps she’s tn love with this Murray Norwood and is interested for his sake. I don't know. It might even be that she has holdings in the south that will eventually become worthless or lost to [ her altogether if the war goes on. Is that possible?" Wade set the fire screen in place and wiped his hands on a linen handkerchief. "It seems quite likely. Nicholas left her considerable property in the south, and if I know Morgan, she would dare anything to cling to her wealth. But is so selfish a motive any reason why we should trust her?” "Don’t you see, Wade?" Lora leaned toward him earnestly. "It t doesn’t matter if her motives are selfish providing they are sincere. There are very definite plans afoot ■ which this Mr. Norwood is mixed ! into. Mrs. Channing says even Gov- ' emor Seymour approves of them and will be behind them unofficialI ' “And where do I fit into this little fantasy?” "Mr. Norwood needs you. He needs men here on the island who are liked and have some influence. There are ways in which you could help.” “Influence — I?" His laughter was unbelieving. “You have only to talk to him. Nothing more if you decide against it Let Morgan know when you would be available for a meeting , with him at her house.” In the silence of the room the distant, insistent ringing of a small silver bell reached them. "I have to see what she wants,” Wade said wearily. “Ellie has probably gone to bed by now.” Lora put a quick hand on his arm. "First, tell me, Wade—you will see Mr. Norwood ? Perhaps there’s nothing to all this, but if you’ll just talk to him— * "With Morgan behind him, and in her house?” Wade asked. "Indeed I will not. I’ll have nothing to do with the matter, or with either of them." But at a sleighing party held the next week Lora saw Wade engaged in deep conversation with Norwood. Who had brought them together this time? She suspected Adam Hume was the meddler. X7d Be GotUitmeeU

A No. You may deduct depredation on property only when used to produce income, and to the extent that ft was no need. Q. What is the rule about deductions for payment of sales taxes? A. There is no role. It is what you actually paid. In some eases, taxpayers have deducted the amount of the sales tax on IS per cent of their income. But it would be well to keep records, or to be able to demonstrate that you have not overclaimed the deduction. Q. What is the requirement regarding deduction of interest on a loan? A. You deduct ordinarily what you actually paid out during the year. For installment purchases where the interest is not shown, you are permitted to deduct six per cent of your average monthly unpaid balance during the year. Q. May I deduct the cost of repairing my summer home, which was damaged by a hurricane? A. No. But you can deduet the loss resulting from the damage. The loss is the difference tn the value of the property before and after the storm, less any insurance received.
