I found a nest with six eggs in it and made daily trips to the [”2100 until all the eggs were laid and foegome. time thereafter.‘ I found that the mother bird would cover the eggs at night and remain on them until about nine. o‘clock the l'ullmving morning and that then the male bird would relieve, her and slay on the nmt Virtually the » entire day.

It proposes that the Federal Income Tax Act be amend- ed so that on all incomes of married ’1‘ persons up to $3,000 and unmarried 1‘3 persons up to $2,000, all fees paid I“ for medical or surgical treatment should be allowed as deduction from 10 incomeâ€"Lprovided such deduction 31" is supported by the signed receipt ‘ ”8 of the attending Physician or Sur- ‘ Pt geon.
