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.

The mound bird of Australia Is noted
for Its immense nests, which are the
largest made by any bird. Some of the
mounds it constructs are fully 150 feet
in circumference, and In the center it
buries Its eggs two feet deep, leaving
them to be hatched ny the sun.
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.

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.

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.

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

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
