...East, and it does not snow during the Russian offensive. ... As regards the long supply lines, one cannot imagine that the difficulties are greater than those of Montgomery in his advance of 1,300 miles, especially as Algeria and Tunis have by far the best road and rail net in Africa. . . . Something must be wrong in Africa. And don't you believe that Stalin thinks so too? . . . How must a man feel whose army has captured and slaughtered hundreds of thousands of Nazis in the last few weeks, when he is told that the mighty American army...

When Form 1040 is used, the gross income levels cited above as those at which taxation starts do not apply.

What all this new activity will do to New York Steam's 1943 net earnings is still a guess. But even through last September (before the fuel-oil shortage was anything more than an oft-repeated Government warning) its nine months' earnings stood at $90,000-against a $313,000 deficit for the first three quarters...
...Jayvees' six game winning streak and gave the prepsters a clean sweep over all of the Big Three sextets. Hard hit by the manpower shortage, Harvard's skeleton squad fought their opponents to a standstill, but were overcome by fluke shots that somehow found their way into the net. St. Paul's well-balanced sextet built up an early 2-1 lead and held their ratio of superiority throughout...
