Your Income Tax No. 6 NORMAL TAX AND OUtiTAX The normal tax rate is 1 1-2 per cent on the first *4,000 of net Income In excess of the personal exemption, credit for dependents, etc.; 3 per cent on the next *4,000; and 5 per cent on the balance. The surtax rates--ln computing which many taxpayers make mistakes, usually to their own disadvantage -begin on net incomes in excess of *IO,OOO. The rates increase In accordance with the amount of net income included in varying so-called income lax brackets. On a net income of *IO.OOO or less there is no surtax. On a net income in excess of *IO,OOO and not in excess of *14.000 the rate is 1 per cent of such excess. The sur tax upon a net income of *II.OOO is *4O and upon a net income in excess of *14,000 and not in excess of *16,- 000. the rate is 2 per cent of such excess. The surtax on a net income of *IOO,OOO is *11.660. and upon a net income in excess of *IOO,OOO. in addi tion 20 per cent of such excess, the maximum rate. As has been stated, many taxpayers make the error of applying the maximum rate instead of the rate provided for in the bracket in which their net Income is Included. Following is an example of how to compute the tax on a net income of *14,500, the taxpayer being single and without dependents: Net Income *14.500 Less personal exemption 1,500 Balance taxable 13,000 1 1-2 per cent normal tax on first *4.000 60 3 per cent normal tax on next *4.000 120 5 per cent normal tax on bal- . ance of *5,000 250 Surtax of *4O on *14,000, plus 2 per cent on *SOO in excess of that amount 50 Total, noraml tax and surtax 480 If the entire net income is earned net income, the taxpayer is entitled to a credit of 25 per cent, amounting to *l2O, which deducted from *4BO leaves payable a tax of *360. Tax payers are advised to read carefully the instructions on Form 1040 relat ing to the surtax and earned income credit.

Lillian Abbott, 18-year-tMd suo-aeb, raised in the severe atmosphere of a Kcte Enplana home, decides she wants a career rather than a social life ond answers an ad in a New York paper calling for girls for the movies. Through correspondence she arranges to have Thomas Blane, good looking and worldly wise, who advertised, come to the home of her wealthy parents In Salem, A toss., for a personal interview. £he wears her new orange lounging pajamas when he calls. Blane tells her he instructs talented girls tor picture careers and she agrees to rtin away from home, taking urtth her all her savings. They arrange to meet the next day on the train. On the train to New York Blane admires her, telling her that she is " too pretty to work.” Lillian dreams of the thrill of going about Neu> York with such a man. In Che diner he discovers that he has lost a M* bill and she gives him money to pay lor their' luncheon. Blane be comes angry when Lillian tells him she left a note for her family when she ran away from home, but fee re lents when she declares she did not mention where she teas going nor •riffe wfeom. Arriving in New York they take a taxi which Blane directs to an obscure hotel. {NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY) CHAPTER • BLANK’S arm rested on the hack of the seat and as the taxi picked Its nay through the mid-afternoon traf fic on Broadway Lillian Jostled against the arm behind her. Blane kept his profile toward her. It was a striking profile. “Son of like Jack Barrymore’s." Lillian thought, watching him out of the Lai) of her eyes. even whtle <she took In the clutter and color of the street of theaters and crowds. Once when (be cab skidded a little about anothercar Lillian was shoved against her handsome companion. And his arm closed about her shoul ders, and for a second fastened her tp him. “Oh--” she said, pushing him. "I Pm sorry* ' He turned toward her. “What's the matter, beautiful?” Bhb was very dose to his eyea Bhe thought they almost hypnotic with their Brightness.

For the moment he seemed content with that. along under the awning through the doorway. Here they were, going into a hotel together. Just as if they had returned from a honeymoon. Or as if they were going on one. It was all so strange to Lillian it was more like a dream than any reality she had ever experienced—or. for that matter, ever Imagined The lobby, Lillian realized. ..was small and rather crowded with red upholstered furniture, a news stand piled with bright-barked magazines, a cigar counter, with candle-like flames flickering weakly at either end. and a glass over which glared the word “Florist." Several bunches of red roses and yellow chrysanthe mums showed through the case. After passing the news stand and turning the corner to the right they came to the hotel clerk, and the ■“mall and information” window. Biane turned to Lillian. “I’ll fix up everything for you. see?” He took her by the arm and led her from the registry counter, over to a red upholstered chair. “Oh. all right. Thank you—” she said. sitting in the chair as be di rected. “Just leave it to me." he told her, patting her shoulder lightly and striding away, smiling a little over his shoulder . Lillian saw him talk to the bald headed tittle man, the hotel clerk, .for a few seconds. Then the clerk pushed the hotel registry toward him and dipped a pen Into some Ink. Blane took the pen and wrote soqie thlng on the large ledger. 1 Bhe wondered what he wrote It never occurred to her that everything was not all right She felt a Uttle less exhilarated about things tn general- Perhaps, she thought, she was a little tired from the long train ride and because she bad been up so much earlier than usual But she smiled when Blane came ov«; to her.

It maiie people look at him. And the bell hop. who carried Lil lian's bag in his hand and Biane'a under his arm. had an angry, crest fallen expression They got into the elevator at the far end of the dimly lighted lobby. The little car shot up quickly and in no time Lillian and Blane were following the bell hop down a narrow halL Not until then did Lillian realize that Blane's bag was being carried to the room reserved for her. There must have been some mistake. What should she sty? Os course, it was all right. Perfectly all right. There couldn’t be anything wrong. No doubt they were just going to make some plans, get their business on a more definite program. She started to say something about it. but she decided that would be silly. What would Blane think of her, anyway. No. what could be wrong in that—his coming up to her hotel room for a few minutes. Now—in Salem that sort of thing could not be explained. But. this was New York. People did not trou ble with silly, useless things like that. They took intelligence into consid eration. She was grown-up. out cm her own. She was her own woman. Bbe knew right from wrong. And, certainly Blane did. And. be understood that she was s nice girl—and there you were In Salem there were only two kinds or girls Nice girls—and these Jwst the opposite.

He unlocked the door and ushered them in. Lillian saw a nicely furaMMi room, caught a glimpse at e sflMfl. shining bath.
