Even the list of ailments the gentle man was about to recite, In violation of the rules, Is trivial, I should say, as compared with the complaints the average wiseacre layman will rattle off If he gets a chance like that. i It Is not without diffidence that i we permit this locum tenons to tell of his experiment with fasting.

Ysur Income Tax A series of dally articles based on revenue act of 1033 and designed to aid those required to file In come tax returns for year 1933 Exemptions Allowed Couples Married During Taxable Year. Taxpayers should note that under the revenue act of 1033 the credit for dependents as well r the personal exemption Is required to be prorated where a change of status occurs dur ing the taxable year. A fractional part of a month Is to be disregarded unless tt amounts to more than half a month, In which case It Is con sidered a month. For example, a single man and a single woman who were married on July 30, 1033, and were living to gether on the last day of the taxable year may file a joint return and would be entitled to a personal ex emption of 3.308.34, which Is 7-13 of 91000 for the husband while sin gle, phis 7-13 of 91000 for the wife while single, plus 0-13 of 93500 for the period during which they were married. If separate returns are filed, each Is entitled to a personal ex emption of 91104.17, which Is 7-13 of 91000, plus H Of 6-13 Of 93500 If during the year 1033 the husband or ttva wife hnd the status of the j head of a family prior to thetr mar Irlage, he or the vould be entitled to ttt. fff' ' .J s $ i jk Brady.

If a child under 18 years of age and dependent on the parent for support reaches the age of 18 years during the taxable year, the credit of 9400 for a dependent Is required to be prorated In the same manner as the personal exemption. For example, should the child's 18th birthday fall on June 30, the parent would be en titled to claim 9300 credit for the de pendent child that Is, of 9400.

(AP) Like Alex ander the Great, Doll Harris and her Oklahoma Presbyterian College bas ketball team mates are sighing for new worlds to conquer. The Cardinals are the National A. A.

"Ma" Ferguson, goevrnor of Texas once more, admits she has a man's Job In attempting to lift the union's largest state back on to Its feet eco nomically. Coming back to the chief execu tive's chair after an Interim of six years, Mrs. Ferguson Is tho only wo man governor In the United States. Before she took office recently she said she was eager to "get going. "Two Governors," She Says Helping her In the difficult task ahead will be her former-governor husband, James B. Ferguson, who has not been permitted to hold office In his own name since he was impeach ed and removed from the office In 1917. Mrs. Ferguson told the electorate when she was campaigning that her husband had been the best governor Texas ever had. "You are offered two governors for the price of one," she said. Mrs. Ferguson's main professed ambition Is to lift the "tax burden from the back of the farmer." She wants to do away with the( ad valo rem tax on all real property. She has in mind a general sales tax to replace the revenue source now provided by the assessments against farms, ranches and homes. "Put a sc-Ies tax Into effect and you'll get to some of the persons now enjoying privileges of government who are not contributing a penny to Its support," she said. Would Divert "Gas" Tax She would also take one-third of the 930,000,000 collected annually from a gasoline tax and place It In the general revenue fund. At pres ent three cents of a four-cent levy go to the highway department and one cent to the school fund. "Present taxes on real estate In Texas will destroy the value of every farm and home as well as all other real estate," Mrs. Ferguson said. She Is determined also to "keep up" the public schools. She pro poses to place dne-thlrd of the gaso line tax proceeds, Instead of one fourth, as at present, to the credit of the school fund. "Other obllgatldns of the govern ment can be put off until tomorrow, next year or five years from now, but the education of our children must take place now lest they grow up In Ignorance a reflection on our civilization," she said Mrs. Ferguson has Inherited not only a substantial deficit In the gen eral revenue fund, but faces the ne oetsslty of providing approximately 910.000,000 for the public school fund In the next two years If the schools are to he maintained at the standard set in recent years, . f To Stay In Canada vtiplI , Ths Oklahoma City Time said It had been Informed by J.
