W. Hendrick- sen, Acting Collector of Internal Revenue, ‘The 1938 forms being mailed indi- vidual taxpayers are similar to the simplied report adopted last year. The Revenue Act of 1938 now in ef- fect maintains the normal rate of four percent for individuals and a | similar schedule of surtaxes for per- sons of larger incomes. The new ’forms provide for a determination of net gain or less from sale or ex- change of capital assets under the new percentages adopted under the Revenue Act of 1938. The filing of duplicate forms is again a requirement under the law and each taxpayer is furnished the green duplicates necessary to be filed and retained for his own purposes. Individual Return The individual income tax return, Form 1040, for net incomes of more than $5000 from salaries, wages, dividends, annuities, and incomes from other sources, regardless of amounts, will be folded at the top instead of the side as in 1937 and previous year. The Collector stated: “This change was made as a service to the taxpaying public in response to many requests that the form be folded in this manner to facilitate the typing of figures and the prep- aration of copies.” There is no sub- stantial change in Form 1040-A de- of less than $5000, derived from | salaries, wages, dividends, interest and annuities. | The fiduciary and partnership | forms, 1041 and 1065 respectively,| have undergone extensive revision. These forms printed on paper of | | similar color as previously, have| been reduced from -large single sheets to four-page forms similar to the individual return Form 1040. Two major changes in contents in- | volve the capital gain schedule | necessitated by the Revenue Act of | {1938, and the schedule of distributive | | shares of beneficiaries and partners. | | The schedule on both forms have |been broadened to facilitate the| computation by the fiduciary or partnership of various types of in- |come flowing to respective bene- { ficiaries and partnership members. | New Form | A new form, to be known as 11120-A, reduced to four pages, will |be generally used by corporations having total reecipts during the | taxable period of not less than $250,- /000 and net incomes of not more | than $25,000. The new form adapted | to the needs of all smaller corpora- tions, is greatly simplified to suit| |the needs of corporations doing a| | smaller volume of business. The old Form 1120 provided for the use of corporations with total recepits of $250,000 or more, and with net in- come of more than $25,000 has been | revised in.accordance with the pro- visions of the Revenue Act of 1938. | The Commissioner of Internal Revenue has advised the Collector I that the Superintendent of Docu- | ments of the Government printing | house will no toffer 1938 income tax returns for sale as was the case in 11937, and the Bureau of -Internal Revenue is without authority to sell | storage compartments four oi five rooms, each Club, it was decided to schedule a:Proved her right to income from a permitting.

And if no other claimant arises, you can thank Bryant Wash- burn for the fact that babies, in Hollywood, are not only ac- knowledged by movie stars but boasted about. ‘Washburn is a bit-player now, and you can find him on the set of Claudette Colbert’s “Midnight.” But in 1916, with the old Essanay company in Chicago, Washburn was a romantic heartbeat on a plane with Francis X. Bushman. In those vs it was a. stellar credo that babies were to be neither seen nor heard by the star’s public. “Professional suicide,” and publicized parenthood or marriage, were synonymous terms. Bushman, Washburn and other screen celebrities were married and had children—but for the public they were pictured as poten- tial Romeos for every screen-struck gal. “One day I got sick of this secrecy,” recalls Washburn, “and I took my year-old baby boy out for a stroll in his buggy down Sheridan Road. That one stroll was practically a news sensation —and the reaction, to everybody's surprise, was most favorable. My fans didn't drop me cold, in fact they liked my attitude,” And since then—well, Bing Crosby is a top favcrite axl has four sons. Marlene Dietrich’s rise was not impeded by her daughter, Norma Shearer’s children didn’t keep her down, and many married stars who haven't children of their own have gone out and adopted one or more. Often the unmarried—like Loretta Young—will adopt a child when possible. Babies are “in” in Hollywood— and “in” to stay. ‘Washburn, incidentally, looking trim and, §ept for slight grayness of hair, substantially like the romantic sta ‘of yesterday, is undiscouraged by his fall from fame. “This business is like a big roulette wheel,” he chuckled. “You . when and where == - Percy's private party room is just the place for your entertaining-- and, it is available for private affairs every evening . .-. ---at Percy’s r——— never can tell when your number will come up—and I'm confident that mine will be called some day again.” After 34 years as “gentleman’s gentleman” to George Arliss, Jenner is back in Hollywood—on his own. Jenner’s meticulous attentions to his master made Hollywood legend—and Bette Davis tells a story that is typical of his jealous devotion. Bette, who owes her Warner contract to Arliss’s selection of ~her for “The Man Who Played God,” was sitting on a set-chair during that production—and she hadn't noticed that the chair was marked with Arliss’s name. Suddenly she heard a warning voice behind her, “There’s going to be some ‘ot soup down your neck in one moment, Miss, if you don’t move.” Leaping up in quick-time, Bette saw Jenner, an ominous glint in his eye, standing there. When the master’s chair was vacated, the glint disappeared and he was all smiles. Jenner, incidentally, may get a regular job at Warner's—as a character actor. In “Mr. Moto in Porto Rico” there’s a scene in which Peter Lorre and Warren Hymer have to make their way through a tropical swamp. Hymer, the hard-faced, read in the script that he would have a monkey jumping from a tree to land on his neck. Be bellowed “I won't do it. I'm scared of monkeys and I'll have nothing to do with them. Change the script or get another boy for the part!” * . The bosses acquiesced, and Hymer is happy. From an over- hanging branch, on to his neck, will fall a boa-constrictor!
