RED CROSS MAIDS
ARE WORKING HARD
Many Society Girls Sell Penny
Seals in the Shops Of
Washington.

Red Cross maids, selling penny seals
in the shops of Washington. are the
winsome harbingers of Christmastide.
Like MyrtiIla, who, according to a
rather ancient bit of society verse. was
early on the lawn, the Red Cross maids,
selected from among the elite of the
Capital are stealing roses from the
bIushing dawn, for they get to their
tasks early. They take the duty OF
being salesladies rather seriously 1t Is
rather a serious duty, it may be inter-
polated.
Many of the young women who sell
Red Cross seals at the retail shops are
prominent in society.
Among them are Miss Hildegarde Ma
gel, daughter of the Secretary of Com
merce and Labor; Miss Sallie Schroeder,
daughter of Rear Admiral Seaton
Schroeder: Misses Natalie Magruder,
EIoise Sergeant, Eleanor Reyburn, Alice
and Mabel Grandin, Rose Bradford.
Elise Davis, Marjorie Smith, Henrietta
Fitch. Miss Downing, Miss Anne and
Miss Mildred Greble, daughters of Col:

CHEAPER BREAD
TO Be DEMANDED
Experiment Tried by J. 7. D. Pyles
May Result in General
Reduction.

II is probable that a campaign for q
reduction in the price Of bread will soon
be launched by the Housekeepers' AL
lance. Since. the price of. bread was
sliced to three. .loaves for a dime by
J. T. d. Pyles some time ago, Mr..
PyIes declaring that the first quality
of bread can be produced for that price,
the members OF the alliance have been
debating among themselves the bread
question, and are only waiting for the
return Of Miss Robinson. chairman Of
the bread committee. to decide. whether
or not they shall demand a cut by the
other dealers. -....-
Mrs. Harvey w. Wiley, wife of the
former Chief OF the Bureau OF Chemis-
try, OF the Department of Agriculture,
is president of the alliance, and when
asked what stand the association of
housewives intended to take on the mat
ter Of cheaper bread. Mrs. Wiley said:
II cannot say until Miss Robinson, the
head OF the committee that has bread
and all similar matters in Its charge,
returns to Washington. Then l will put
It up to her and We will make tests of
this cheaper article and see how 1t COM
pares with the bread sold at 3 cents
Miss Robinson is expected back in a
cay or So"
According to Mr.. Pyles the 31-3 cent
bread is being received with favor He
says that since cutting the price his
sales have jumped from about 1000
Ioaves per week to $3.50, the figures for
last week.
- decided to make a cut In bread
some time ago when the baker that sup
Piled one of my stores refused to supply
us any more, charging that l had been
buying bread at cents and selling it for
3 1-2 cents.
THE trade in bread had never been
large with me, for buyers prefer gener-
ally to buy their bread at the smaller
service. When this one baker refused
to supply me further I decided to cut
out the article that ! bought at cents,
which had sold, you understand, for 5
cents.
81 put the price at 3 1-3 cents. or three
loaves for a dime. and Immediately the
sales increased. They continued to in
crease by COO or 500 loaves per week. and
when the trade reached the point Of l.50O
loaves the manufacturer l was buying
from made US lower rate that permitted
small margin of prott.
Il make about 800 a week on bread
sales now. l am satisfied with that and
the public seems TO be equally well salts
fed with the bread. There Is no reason
why il should cost more, and every store
in the city should be selling il for 3I5
cents. Good bread can be made for that
price, and the time is coming when the
public is going to demand that they be
given 1t for that"

GENERAL INCOME
TAX MEASURE
Representative Hull of Tennessee
Is Author of New Bill to
Raise Revenue.
TWO PLANS SUGGESTED
IN PROPOSED BILL
Annual Revenue of 100000, 900
Expected from Graduated
Tax Scheme.

Representative CirdeIl Hull OF Tennes-
see author of the excise tax bin and a
member of the Ways and Means Com
mittee, is framing a bill levying gen.
eral income tax under the conviction
that in January next two additional
States will ratify the constitutional
amendment authorizing such a tax.
Thirty-four States have ratified the
amendment and with two more states
to act favorably the amendment will be-
come part of the Constitution. Two plans
in reference to this new tax are being
considered by Mr.. Hull. One is the grad
uated tax. the percentage increasing with
the amount of the income, and the other
fiat tax applying to excess Of the In
comes over 5000 a year
Mr.. Hull estimates that under straight
per cent income tax on all incomes
over the 5000 exemption the government
can derive an annual revenue of s6OO,OOO,-
900 with a graduated tax, increasing to
. per cent on the largest incomes and
adjusted to fall more lightly on active
wealth and heaviest on idle capital, a
larger revenue can be secured.
The general income tax is to take the
place of the proposed excise tax which
was expected to yield S5O,OO00O0 and u
duces 100000 annually.
some of Advantages.
The straight tax plan has the ad-
vantage over the graduated tax of en-
abling the tax collector to collect the tax

stances, and in doing away with many

OF the graduated tax. Personal investi-

Ii is the Democratic plan. should the
income tax be legalized, to make this
tax supplemental to the new tariff legis-

Until the new tariff duties are fixed
and an estimate is made of their yield.
showing what loss in revenues will CONS
from the lower rates, no effort VIII be
made to frame the income tax law or to

Members of the committee are consld-
