He pointed out that schools were reporting a restlessness and ‘an urge to activity on the part of adolescents that interferes with concentration upon serious talks.

ered one group of citizens who, after all deductions, found they have the net sum of eight dollars left for their year’s work.

Room and board is taxable and internes of a local hospital found that it was valued at $20 a month with $10 thrown in in cash. Most of them are single and the tax on $1200 a year is $110. As they receive $120 in cash, it leaves them with $10. But to top it they are subject to two dollars state gross income tax leaving them eight “bucks” for a year’s labor. . . . Born 30 years to soon. And then there is the woman who wanted deduction for her dog. Quoting Will H. Smith, collector of internal revenue, she said, “Why I think as much of my dog as I do my husband.” A great number of taxpayers are more than happy they didn’t make out the return themselves. In many cases the deputy collectors manage to scale down the tax figure. Miss Alice J. Heider, a deputy collectcr, scaled down the amount payable by one citizen from $500 $300

Who wouldn't be happy? But the government got use of the surplus anyway. Leaving the: collectors, the taxpayer stopped at the war bond window downstairs and “sunk” the remainder in bonds for freedom. A few minutes later he returned

got back the $18. 5 that, “brings him $25. ‘And a S0eyeat iid woman, operator of a rooming house, tried to press five dollars upon an objecting collector when her taxes were lower than expected.

While the price for being single mounts higher each fiscal year, there’s one Indianapolis citizen who’s willing to bear the burden. Jokingly, a collector stated to an elderly bachelor, “It won't be worth anything to stay single pretty soon.” From women deputy collectors’ reports it would appear that the divorce rate in Indianapolis is about to hit an all-time low. Two questions always asked are: Are you married, and have you been married all year? To this, men invariably reply with a beaming smile, “Oh yes, for 35 years, very much so, very happily and never had a quarrel.” One man answered, “Nope, never had a quarrel with the little woman. When I see her gefting mad I just leave the house.” Appeasement . . 1943 style. But with taxes higher and more citizens affected in the lower income brackets there are still some who must’ file a return but are nontaxable. And there was at least one person who was quite confused when the tax blanks were sent out. But the crowning point is a cardboard sign stuck in the door window of the collector of internal revenue, Mr. Smith. It says “Welcome . , . Walk In.”

No doubt.
