Rev. 21:5, 6, DISABLED COMIC FIRST Should congress refuse to overrule the president and the secretary of tKo treasury, who are opposed to paying the veterans' adjusted compensation in full and immediately as an i unemployment relief measure, the veterans agitating such payment will know that their efforts were not without some fruits. Discussion of the compensation question has accentuated the urgent need for expansion of veterans' hospitalization facilities and disclosed that legislation providing for such expansion is clogged in the house of representatives and in danger of being held over until the next session. : Tho government may not be in a financial position to immediately convert the soldiers' insurance into cash and provide adequate hospitals, for disabled veterans at the same time, but it can' do either one or the other and is morally .bound to do that at once. J, With commendable unselfishness the rank and file of .World war-veterans place the needs of the disabled before ; their own requirements. Even the unemployed say that care ! of the disabled must come first; The immediate result has 'been that the senate has pledged itself to immediate con jaideration of tho hospital program and to adequate legislation ( before 'March 1. ' ' I A hospital expansion program of sufficient proportions .might accomplish two desirable results at one time. If the work is given to unemployed veterans, it will bring relief ;to both the unemployed and the disabled. ! 'tlKUSBKmiSH IN THE FLUSH Exact statistics would no doubt confirm the general im pression that seldom has the lecture platform been so busy as today. A distinguished German philosopher and mathe matician has just arrived. A distinguished British philoso 'pher only recently departed. European lecturers of lesser note are constantly coming and going. Our own platform speakers and readers and poets may possibly attract less 'attention because, among other things, they have not the advantage of arriving by steamship and encountering the ship reporters at quarantine; but they are active all over the land. And the nrt of joint debate is undergoing an ' extraordinary revival. j It is a development that could not have been predicted for this ago, and it is, in fact, a situation directly opposed to 'prophecies based on recent mechanical inventions. , IC the pressing of a button or the throwing of a switch can deliver the voice and features of a speaker at any distance, it seemed obvious that the public would not bestir itself to seek out the'speaker in person or induce him to seek out the public. But it seems that mechanical agencies, instead of discour aging the wish for personal contacts, seem only to stimulate it. And public audiences are insisting more strongly on see ing in person those whom they are desirous of hearing. It is very evident that it will be many years, if ever, before an American audience will be educated to the point where they will bo satisfied to meet a "celebrity" on the screen or by radio. It was fifteen centuries after Alexander sighed for more worlds to conquer that someone invented golf. A survey might also prove that the law against highway robbery is not being obeyed. No. 4 i If husband and wife should each have a net Income in excess of $4,000, but neither a net Income in excess of H,000. it is to their Interest, in filing separate Income-tax returns for the year 1930, to divide the personal ex emption of 63,500 between them, as shown by tho following Illustration, In which tho husband claims $3,000 and the wife 9500: Net Income, husband $7,000 Porsonal exemption 3,000 Taxablo ot 1 per cent 4.000 Husband's tax 00 Net Income, wife 4.500 Personal exemption 500 Taxablo at 1 per cent 4,000 wue's tax oo Total for husband and wife.. 120 -Tho normal tax rato being Vi per cent on the first $4,oou of net Income In excess of tho personal exemption and other credits, 3 per cont on the next $4,000, and 6 per cent on the .balance any other division of the personal exemption would havo sub jected part of the husband's or wife's Income to tho 3 per cent rate. The computations do not Include tho 26 per cent credit on earned Incomes. Aside from dividing the personal exemption, husband and wlfo often may further decrease the amount of tliclr total taxes by filing separate re turns and reporting their Bcparatc in come therein, providing their Joint Incomo Is sufficiently large to bo sub ject to tho surtax, which applies to net Incomes In excess of $10,000. Husband and wlfo may elect each year whether to fllo a Joint return or separate returns. Where, however, a Joint return or soporato returns havo been filed for a particular year, nei ther husband nor wife may after wards file an amended return or re turns on a different basis for that year. n,... .; mmtni hih I to China or any otner place jusi so as possible, the boards arbitrarily the KOSS'p wou,d Se Btoppca levying this amount for this purpose, I "She called yesterdoy for the $5000. i!iin,.nti,tii;n Ri'imiinn iiinrra Th i I hove tho-Check already prepared. nraoth-A in harne.uHMxi n r.nn.o th 1 She came to my dressing room.

In Us published report the commission defined nolso. as "sound that Is without ttgreoublc or musical quality." That noise Is harmful may be ap preciated by the fact that It evokes a feeling of annoyance. Experimental studies have further t demonstrated that sudden loud and , unpleasant noises tend to Increase I muscular tension, respiration and clr- ' culatlon. ; i This response Interferes with the -efficient working of the body. j An easily appreciated effect of ' nolso Is Its disturbance of sleep. The commission observes that the abate ment of nolso Is Imperatively neecleu because it lnterfercu with sleep. Ev ery Indlvlduul needs between six and nine hours sleep. Most persons arc accustomed to sleep during ttie nigtit, and hence at ltinst the hours from li to V should bo ireo of distressing noises as possible, Many niyht workers havo to sleep during tho day. Tills Is another strong argument for tho cllmlimifou cf nciHo whenever possible.
