Measure Developed to Stage Where Eight Billion To , tai Is in Sight. SOME CHANGES STILL PEND New Lerlc on Alcoholic and Soft Drink Provide Substantial In crease, Which Will Contrib ute folly $1,000,000. WASHIXGTON. Aug. 17. The new revenue bill will raise a total of 18.000.- 00,000 for the expenses of the Govern ment In the present fiscal year. Chair man Kltchin. of the House ways ana means committee, announced when the committee adjourned. It la probable. Chairman Kltchin said. that the bill will be Introduced next week and be taken up by the House a week from Monday. Changes In the schedule not as yet definitely fixed may lower the total, it was said. In that event the committee may resort to a customs tax and a tax on tea, coffee and similar products. Changing conditions also may affect the amount of revenue to be obtained. The committee Is watching the outcome of the effort to pass a National war time prohibition measure, which the Senate la to take up August 24. If a prohibition measure Is enacted revenues to be obtained under the bill will be decreased considerably. D risks to Yield Billion. The new tax on liquors Is understood to provide a substantial Increase on whisky and other liquors and soft drinks, a total revenue of 11.000.000,000 or more. The liquor tax rates are being withheld from publication to guard against withdrawals of whisky from bond. The committee finally approved the tobacco schedule unchanged from rates heretofore announced. In the 10 per cent tax of articles deemed luxuries above a certain price It made the tax apply to women waists in excess of I la. Instead of HO, as previously agreed to, and to women bits at S15 instead of 126. Motor boats and canoes were held to the 10 per cent tax on yachts on pleasure boats, but exempted motor boats and canoes costing $20 or less, the exemption being to protect home built crafts. Income Rates Scheduled. Considerable interest has been manl fested in the normal tax on personal incomes and the committee announced the text of the schedule as follows "Normal taxes: Section 210 That there shall be levied, collected and paid for each taxable year upon the next In come of every Individual, a normal tax as follows: Is) la the ease of a citizen or resident of the United 6tatee, 10 per rent of the amount of the net Income In excess of the credits proTtded In section 216; .provided that upon ths lirst Mono or tnis amount tne rate snau be 1 pereentnm. (b la the case of a noa-residstit alien 10 nor csnt of ths amount of the net In corns In excess of the credits provided in section 21U. Section Z1C. aa agreed to, reads: Credits allowed: For purposes of normal tax only, there shall be allowed the lot lowlua- credits: (s) Ths amonnt received ss dividends from a corporation which la taxable under the corporation Income tax upon Its net Income. fb Amount received as Interest upon obll rations of the United States, any state, ter ritory or political sub-dlrtslon, or ths Dls trlct of Columbia. rsisuoal Exemptions AnaoaBced. tc In the case of a alnale person a per sonal exemption of $10OO or In the case of the head of a family or a married person living with husband or wife, a personal ex emption of $2000 A husband and wife liv ing together shall receive but one personal exemption of $2000 against their aggregate net income and in case they make separate returns the personal exemption of $2U00 may be taken by either or divided between them. d Two hundred dollars for sach per son (other thsn husband and wlrei depend' ent on and receiving his chief support from the taxpayer If such dependent person Is under IS years of ass, or Is Incapable of self-support, because mentally or physically defective. The committee has agreed by a very close vote to a differential of 3 per rent against unearned Incomes and has sent back to the Treasury the latter's draft for this purpose for re-drafting with the probability it may be dropped on re-consideration. If the differential stays In the bill, the present 5 per cent normal tax on Incomes under $4000 annually might be made C per cent on unearned Incomes and 4 per cent on earned lncomea and the normal tax of 10 per cent on In comes from $4000 upward might be made IS per cent on unearned and per cent, or the present 10 per cent, on earned incomes, committee members today explained. Treeurya Approval Sought. Chairman Kltchin tonight explained that the committee had referred Its decision In favor of an excess profits tax of 40 to CO per cent after $3000 exemption and 8 per cent deduction to the Treasury for Its approval. He said the committee also had communicated to the Treasury Its action in apportion ing business into three classes for pre war earnings deduction. The committee has adopted a provi sion that In no event will the excess profits tax of corporations having less than $$0,000 capitalisation exceed 40 per cent of Its net Income. An effort will be made next week to apply the same provision to the war profits tax. P? I. I -tester I y'Jtou?Ay , -kJL--rir,fre""'rx I " . .

Use Cocoanut Oil for Waihing Hair If you want to keep yonr hair In good condition, be careful what you wash It with. Most soaps and prepared shampoos contain too much alkali. This dries the calp. makea the hair brittle and is very harmful. Just plain mulslfled cocoanut oil (which Is pure and entirely grease lees) la much better than the most ex pensive soap or anything else you can use for shampooing, as thia can't pos sibly injur the hair. Simply moisten your hair with water and rub it in. One or two teaspoonfuls will make an abundance of rich, creamy lather, and cleanses the hair and scalp thoroughly. The lather rinses out easily, and removes every particle of dust, dirt, dandruff and excesaiv OIL The hair dries quickly and evenly, and it leaves It fine and silky, bright, fluffy and easy to manage. You can get mulslfled cocoanut oil at most any drug store. It is very cheap, and a few ounces is enough to last everyone In the family for months.

Canny-sur-Mats Is Seized. ' i Continued From First Page.) wounded and prisoners also were taken by the Americans. Plateau la Captured. Marshal Foch has at last definitely connected the battles of the Aisne and the Somme. Announcement is made that, by a local attack, the plateau north of Autreches, about 10 miles northwest of Soiasona, has been car rled by the Frsnch, and that their suc cess gives them a position dominating the region extending northward toward he Olse River. The attack, while local In character, must have had plenty of power to carry as far ahead as is Indicated in dis patches. If the whole plateau north of Autreches has been taken from the Germans, the French have advanced upwards of a mile In that direction. Plcardy Galas Smaller. When the Germans halted their re treat from the Marne salient and made a stand on the Aisne it was assumed a blow northwest of cTolssons would be truck, as a success would outflank the Germans and compel their retreat to heir old lines north of the Chemln- Des-Dames. Then the Plcardy offensive began and the eyes of the world were fixed on the allied progress east of the Avre and Ancre. , This drive has recently been almost t a standstill. Only local actions have been fought for the paat four days along the line established by the Ger mans west of the Somme. Some of the progress, especially along the southern sector of the line, has been important, though hardly noticeable on a map, but the Germans are desperately defending every Inch of the high ground southwest of Noyon and south of Laiilgny. as well as the area around Roye. The allied pressure Is continuous and may event ually break down enemy resistance. Solsaoas-Rhelms Sector Quiet. There are no indications that Mar shall Foch will continue his pressure orthwest of Solssons, but his first suc cess there may be exploited. It would ot be surprising to see the fighting spread between the Aisne and the Olse, for an allied victory in that region would break the hinges of both the Aisne and Somme lines and compel a German retirement on both sides of the new battle area. From Solssons to Rhelms the allies have been doing little slnee the Ameri cans regained their positions at Fls-mette. In the Flanders sector there have been no engagementa of a significant character. WASHINGTON. Aug. i7. General Pershing's communique for Saturday reads: In the Vosges our troops In the course of local attacks captured the village of Frapelle. Hostile Plane Downed. - "Yesterday in Lorraine one of our aviators shot down a hostile machine." The communique for Friday follows: "Yesterday In the course of a combat In the region of Fllery our aviators shot down a hostile machine. The following details of the aerial combat have been reported: "Lieutenant Stiles and Lieutenant Drew engaged four Fokker biplanes over Fltrey on August 16. One of the planes was brought down. Lieutenant Stiles and Lieutenant Drew being credited equally with the destruction of the machine." WITH THE FRENCH ARMT IN FRANCE, Aug. 17. (By the Associated Press.) French troops this morning carried out a local attack in the region of Autreches. about ten miles north- est of Solssons, and captured the ateau north of' Autreches village. extending northward, south of the Oise River. Grip on Roye Tightened. Local actions elsewhere resulted in the further tightening of the grip of the allies upon the approaches to Roye, to thewest, the north and the south. The Germans are intensifying their ar tillery fire in that region with no other effect than to slow up the allied ad vance. LONDON, Aug. 17. The War Office tonight Issued the following statement on the operations in Plcardy and Flan ders: "Our line north of Proyart was slight ly advanced last night and today prog ress has been made by our troops on a front of nearly a mile north of Lihons. A few prisoners and machine guns were taken by us. "During the earlier part of the night the enemy attacked certain of our poets in tne benerpenberg sector and was re pulsed after sharp fighting. A raid at tempted by the enemy early this morn ing in the neighborhood of Locce also was beaten off, leaving prisoners in our hands. BERLIN, Aug. 17. (Via London.) The allies yesterday made strong at tacks against the Germans on both sides of Roye. according to the War Office statement issued today. These attacks, it is declared, widened until they included the terrain from the neighborhood of Chaulnes to the vi cinity of Lassigny, but were repulsed by the Germans. BICYCLE FOUND NECESSARY Output of Motorcycles Being Ab sorbed by Government Purchases. WASHINGTON, Aug. 17. Manufac ture of bicycles and motorcycles will not be materially curtailed, it was an nounced today by the war industries board because they are used chiefly as necessary vehicles of transportation. The manufacturers have been called upon, however, to effect all possslble economies in rubber and steel in their . production. The output of motorcycles is now almost entirely absorbed by I direct Government purchases CITIZEN OF U. S. HELD ALIEN Estate of Millionaire Krueger, of Newark, X. J., Seized. NEW YORK, Aug. 17. The estate of Gottfried Krueger, of Newark, N. J., valued at several million dollars, was taken over today by the alien prop erty custodian.

ALL DAY IN THE SUN; i SUFFERS NO SUNBURN A PRETTY society girl who is devot ed to athletic, motoring and other outdoor pursuits is the envy of her friends because, no matter how much she is In the sunshine, it doesn't seem to affect her at all, and her complexion, neck and arms are always like the pro verbial lily, white, soft and smooth as satin. She confesses to her friends that the secret of her success in avoiding sunburn and tan, freckles and other re sults of outdoor pleasure is that she uses Santiseptic Lotion, a delightful toilet requisite that protect her skin in an almost miraculous way. Santisep tic is just as effective in preserving the skin from pimples, blackheads, acne, spots and other blemlthes. It Is easily procured at drug and department stores, costing but fifty cents. If your druggist cannot supply it, his name and twenty-five cents in stamps or coin sent to the manufacturers, the Esben cott Laboratories, Portland, i Or., will secure postpaid a large Introductory bottle.
