With these coats are worn vests OF
buff pique in fancy weaves, fastened
with FIVE buttons. Two buttons show

trousers are of light and darker gray

White vests of pique seem to be
worn as much with frock coats as
with morning coats, but the really
smartest vest of the season is that
mentioned above, of buff pique.

cut more comfortably than ever, be-
ing high in the back ard low in the
front.

worn the iong-pointed soft collars,

s< " WORD FROM PARIS.
In Paris. where. as you know. the
frock coat has never been very popu-
lar, il is being worn more frequently.
Now the smart man of Paris wears
it to every occasion tinged with the
least formality. The smartest are
fastened with a link button placed
Just below the high waist line, and
between a double row OF buttons
down the front. The narrowness OF
the waist accentuates the broadness
of the shoulders and the fulness OF
the chest. The lapeis are soft and are
faced with dull silk. They are ut
moderate width. The notch in the
lapel is now perfectly horizontal. and
the skirts of the coat are rather full

The colors now popular for morning
wear are mixtures, gray blues, and
tan.
Puff ties are worn more than ever,
and the stock bows seem to be losing
ground.
Soft striped silks still remain in
favor for shifting material. The soft
turned-back cuffs on these soft shirts
are very narrow and many show a
double row OF stitching.

REVENUE TAX Is PLANNED
TO MEET RESULT OF WAR

Washington, Aug S.-COngreSSiona
leaders are favoring new revenue leg
islation to bring into the treasury
funds TO meet the losses in customs
duties on imports caused by the Euro
pean war. An estimate by q treasury
expert fixes this loss not to exceed
$100,000,000 a year, should the war
run that long.
An additional internal tax seems to
be most popular with the congressman
at the present time. This could be
levied through a stamp tax on checks,
contracts and legal documents, as was
done during the Spanish-Arierican
war, and a comparatively small tax
would reimburse the government for
its losses through the falling off of
imports.
1t would cost little additional to
collect this tax, because the machinery
for this purpose is organized under
the commissioner of internal revenue.
While there has been considerable
discussion of the necessity for some
new revenue tax, Chairman Under
wood of the house ways and means
committee, where such legislation
must originate, has made no move
in the matter. The committee has not
considered any proposition.
Mr. Underwood is of the opinion that
the European war will be felt by this
country through reduced imports for
eight or 10 years, and the cost to the
citizens of this country will be nearly
$1,000, 100000. Mr.. Underwood says
there is no reason for hurry in pass
ing the war tax because of the treas
ury condition. Mr.. Underwood is OPP
posed TO the immediate sale of the
Panama canal bonds, aggregating
$3.50, 900 600, or to a bond issue. He
favors getting increased revenues from
the income tax.
Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1914-08-08

The certainty that any war air craft
that ventures within firing range of
a hostile force will be promptly
brought to earth is raising consider
able doubt as to whether airships will
prove as great a factor as was pre-
dicted during the early stages of the
European war
The aeroplane and the dirigible
balloon are proving useful in scout
ing and in making observations
from a safe distance. But the terri
BILE swiftness with which these vul-
nerable craft may be wiped out is
limiting their sphere of usefulness,
at least in offensive work.
Here are quotations from recent
news dispatches:
"A Zeppelin laden with explosive
shells was sent across the plateau to
attack the Herve forts, but it flew
too low, and Belgian gunners, get
ting the range. were able to destroy
Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1914-08-08

Ordinance-makers have for some
time been building rapid-fire guns
for the especial purpose of destroy
ing air craft, and some of these guns
are shown in the illustration above.
That they are accomplishing their
purpose with deadly certainty is
shown by the extracts quoted here
with. Machine-gun and rifle fire
seem to be equally effective.
Military aviators are almost as
easy prey as large birds. While
they may carry guns and bombs,
they are absolutely without protec-
ton from an enemy's fire, and their
craft is so fragile that attack with
any kind OF craftsmanship means
doom.
When rival aeroplanes meet in
aerial combat they ram each other
and both are destroyed. The net re-
suit on either side, so far as any ad-
vantage is concerned, is rather prob
lematical
