Community Tax
Returns Allowed
Married Austin people may file
“community* income tax returns
instead of being required to make
separate income returns, James W.
Bass, collector of internal revenue J
here, said Thursday afternoon fol-
lowing receipt of a telegram from
Washington headquarters.
Considerable agitation on the old
measure which required separate
returns from man and wife has
been had, Bass said. Possibility
that the United States attorney
general may yet declare the com-
munity plan unconstitutional is
slight, Hass said, but in -the event
suchoa ruling is made, refiling of
returns by married people will be
necessary.

"Captain Copp,” an early American
comedy by John Howard Payne and
Washington Irving. A clipping from
the Baltimore Bun, on whose desk
Gaines is laboring at present, im-
plies that Charles I|. is one of the,
two leading roles in the play.

almost 14,000 less than those filed
at this time last year, but delay in

the reason for the decrease by

were not sent out this year until
Feb. 28, almost two months later
than the time for filling in returns
last year, Bass said.

In-; in the Don Juan episode, and
with Billie Dov, ingenuing quite

TF YOU’RE looking for a rather hazardous and
thrilling amusement you can find it astride
a fiery steed perhaps as well as any place.
For instance, horse racing carries plenty of the
thrill stuff; this is especially true of the race of

Jockeys often narrowly escape death when their
mounts fall to make a clean jump.
