Suggestions and Criticisms Invited
Youths Of Draft
A»e Found To
Be Healthier
NEW YORK —Outstanding im
provement in the health of;
young Americans of draft age, or
approaching it is indicated by:
the mortality records of the Meti
ropolitan Life Insurance Com
pany, whose white Industrial pol
icy holders — ages 15 to 24 —
have a death rate only one third j
of what it was for the correspond
Ing age group in 1911, according]
to company statisticians. This fa J
•vocable health situation, it is ex-j
plained is due largely to the phen j
omenal drop in tuberculosis j
mortality among this group of
young American men. Their j
death rate from this cause de- J
dined from 222 per 100.000 in ]
1911 to 19 per 100,000 in 1939. ;
“Thus, the improvement in tu
berculosis mortality has been so
rapid that within a single genera
tion,” thjg statisticians point out,
“the death rate was reduced to
less than one tenth of the initial
value. Moreover in 1911 about 40
percent of all deaths of adoles
cent and young adult males were
from tuberculosis; in 1939 only j
11 percent of all deaths resulted
rom this cause.”
Other important factors involv
ed in reducing the general death
rate among the young American
white males include a drop in
the influenza and pneumonia
death rate during the 1911-1939
period in mortality from acci
d:nts a 50 percent reduction in
the heart disease death rate and
a drop in the typhoid death rate
from 30 per 100,000 in 1911 to
less than one per 100,000 in 1939.
For most causes of death im
provements in motality in the
age goup 15-24 have been more
pronounced among white females
than among the white males.

REFUNDS BE ALLOWED
ON 1936, 1937. 1938 TAXES
—
Commissioner of Internal Rev
enue Guy T. Helvering in a state
ment issued recently called at
tention to section 701 of the re
, cently enacted Second Revenue
Act of 1940. This section is of
particular int rest to employers
who fai'ed to pay their contribu
tions to State unemployment
funds for 1936, 1937. 1938 or 1939
in time to entitle them to the
I credit against the Federal unem1
1 ployment tax for those y:ars.
The section provides that if
contributions for 1936, 1937, or
' 1938 are paid to the State on or
before December 6. 1940, the
amount of such contributions
will be allowable as credit ag
ainst the Federal tax for those
years. The amount of such cred
it, however may not in any case
exceed 90 per cent of the tax
against which it is applied. Un
. der the law as it existed prior to
the enactment of this section,
credit against the tax for the
I years 1936. 1937 and 1938 was
i allowable only if the contribu
j tions for those years were paid
: prior to October 9, 1939.
j The section also provides that
employers may recsive credit ag
| ainst the Federal unemployment
'tax for 1939 if the contributions
j for that year are paid to the
State on or before December 6,
1940. The amount of such credit
however will be limited to 90 per
cent of the amount which would
. I
1 have been allowable as credit
had the contributions been paid
on or before the date fixed for
the filing of the employer's re
turn for such year. This date,
unless otherwise extended, was
January 31, 1940.
In many instances, Commis
sioner HMvering explained, em
ployers of eight or more who
were denied the credit because
of late contributions have filed
claims for refund or abatement.
In oth r instances, the Bureau of
Internal Revenue has inform
ation which will permit the
prompt adjustment of the re
j turns. It was pointed out how
ever that the Bureau probably
does not have a record of some
employers who paid the full
amount of the Federal tax and
also made full contribution to the
State unemployment funds. In
such cases, it was emphasized the
taxpayers affected have the priv
ilege of filing claims for refunds.
Such claims may be filed within
four years from the date the
Federal tax was paid to the col
i lector and will be considered
for allowance, provided the con
tributions to the State unemploy
!T!0P.t funds have been made or*
| or before December 6, 1940.
i Where refunds are made under
! this reli f provision, the law pro
! vides that no interest shall be
i allowed.
| The new law also provides spec
i ial relief for the years 1936, 1937.
1938. and 1939 in bankruptcy pro
rceedings and other cases wh re
the assets of the taxpayer are
in custody or control of a court.

TIMES NOW
Spain, until recently racked by
civil war. is experiencing peace
ful and prosperous times now ac
cording to information in a let

Frank Alba, well known pioneer
Alaskan.
“The letter took only 20 days
to reach Fairbanks from Spain,”
said Mr. Alba. "It was routed by
airmail across the Atlantic.”

"I am directed to send them to
