Tax Deductions. Forms TD -1 may be secured from your employer, Post Offices, or local Income Tax offices. Income Tax is Fair ® All - In the fourth year of war, Canada will need almost four billion dollars. This is the equivalent of nearly $3 50 from every man, woman and child in the country. Even with the highest income tax in history, 52% only of the money Canada needs will be raised by taxation. The rest will have to be borrowed j:sy means of War Savings Stamps, Certificates and Victory Bonds. Starting with the first pay period in September representing Sep- tember earnings only, your employer is required by law to deduct your income tax from your wages or salary, and send it promptly- to the Government. Everybody will pay his share as he goes along. ' It's going to be tough. . . but not too tough! Here are some good features: 1. You will pay as you earn, so that you will not , be faced with a large lump sum payment next year. 2. The National Defence Tax already de. ducted during the first 8 months of this year has been taken into account in the 'Table of Tax Deductions, 3. Though the income tax rates'show a sharp increase over lasE year, a large portion of this increase is actually savings, to be paid back to you with interest after the war. 4.. The money you are paying for life insur- ance premiums, annuities, principal repay- ments on your home, or into a pension fund may be deducted (up to it certain maximum) from the savings portion of yout. income tax. In many cases this may be sufficient to make payment of the savings portion of the tax unnecessary. ,00,4 IA% OM illAPT SHOWI116 1445 TAX 1.1;.1111.1TY OF A MARRIED PERSON WITH TWO DEPENDENTS .Na COMPARISON WITH 74C 2940 1AX tiAlIKITY 400 Sso6 '3000 TON.

This American tribe was so poor before the white men: came to his homeland on the Great Salt desert that it had little to wear, according to a study now being com- pleted by Dr. Julian H. Stewart, Smithsonian Institution anthropole gist. Anthropologists are interested in the Gosiutes because they are con- sidered the lowest culture among American Indians before the discov- ery of Columbus and later explor- ers. The tribe roamed over 172,000 square miles of barren lava plains of the Great Salt desert, extending across Utah and Nevada. • Because they lived on the desert wastes, where few of their fellow Indians ventured of their own free will, these peoples were cut off from contact with others and thus struggled to survive without aid from outside. Even large game and wild seeds :Were scarce, and during the bayren winter the Gosiutes ate mice, gophers, ants, lizards and oth- er reptiles. The tribes had only brush wind- breaks or caves for shelters against the intense cold of the mountain desert winters. Utensils and tools were few, although baskets, pots, bows and arrows were part of every family's possessions. With their weapons the tribesmen were able to kill an occasional large game ani- mal which wandered out over the desert, or the wild rabbits.

The mayor of Keosauqua, Iowa, the same month, issued a ukase to his 1,000 citizens that they must not smoke in bed. Bermuda Boasts Having Bar in -Old Quarry . Stories have been written about many unusual bars and thinking places in the world, but Hamilton, Bermuda, boasts probably the only bar in a quarry. "The Qtiarry's" was opened years ago in what used to be an old stone- cutter's working ground, which for years lay neglected between the northeast corner of the hotel Amer- ican House, at Queen and Church streets. -" Much of "The Quarry's" charm lies in the careful preservation of the uneven planes and projections Of the walls, which have beers al- lowed to remain exactly as they were hewn by the stonecutters. The rough texture and the soft tones of the natural stone add immeasurably to the general warmth of its atmos- phere. In- the center of 'the room stands the bar, beneath a gaily -striped awning. The ceiling of the quarry proper is supported by massive beams and square pillars of natural stone, and in a niche at the eastern end is the bronze ship's bell of the barque "Fancis Hilyard." This bell has an interestingstory. A little over 50 years ago the , 'Fran- cis Hilyard," bound -from Philadel- phia to Antwerp, put into St. 'George's an distress. Proving to be hopelessly unseaworthy, she was sub- sequently sold at auction for the benefit of the underwriters. The bell attracted the eye of the late A. Paschal, who bid it in and in- stalled it in the old bar at the Amer- ican House. There, every New Year's eve, it became his custom to use it to ring the old year out and the new year in. zessing Experfonce b With Prickly Pear Enda Man often gets his Imuckles. rapped when he monkeys with thd. balance of nature. Starlings were introduced into the U.

When rabbits were taken into Austrpha they prolifer- ated enormously for lack of natural enemies. Wholesale slaughter has not suppressed them. Australia also had a distressing experience with the prickly pear—but in this case there was a happy ending, • North and South American prickly, pears, members of the cactus fam- ily, were taken to Australia in the. Nineteenth century, planted for hedges and as a source of fodder. By 1925 they threatened to crowd • out native vegetation on 30,000,000. • acres of land, and on 3,9,000,000 more acres the pears had complete- ly won, standing in a dense, solid growth two to five feet thick. The cost of fighting them with chem- icals, by digging or plowing, stack- ing and burning, would have been. more than the land was worth. So, year after year, more land was abandoned, more homesteads de- serted. govern- ment sent agents to the Americas Meanwhile the Australian to See what the prickly pear's natu- ral enemies were.

Caro inaugurated his Studio Parties. Their purpose is to provide a social life for the shy and friendless. To. his Greenwich Village come guests for an evening of music (Caro is a pianist -composer), dancing, games —and refreshment that contains no hint of alcohol. Subscriptions for most affairs are $1 a person; Satur- day evenings the rate is $1.25, Guests of all ages are drawn by advertisements in looal papers and through recommendations of friends. Within the past year and a half' Caro has entertained home 5,000. persons. His home has come to be a recognized social center, appeal- ing not merely to the lonely, who have no place to go, but to those who feel they can have as better time at Caro's than at most of the conventional entertainment centers. Result: Twenty-six marriages, four suicides averted, seven jobs found. Host Caro met his bride at one his parties.
