Speaking generally of frocks for

sleeves are merely puffs or ruffies of

One more example of the success
full management of lines and adjust
ment by means of new departures in
the garment-cutters' art may be stud
led in the coat pictured above. In the
new spring models cutters appear to
have thrown tradition to the winds,
but the coats justify them in this in
dependence.
1t appears that the designers are
striving to achieve the required full
ness without making coats cumber-
some, and to give to the figure the cor
rect silhouette. In the model shown
here the back of the coat and top of
the sleeves appear to be cut in one
piece. The introduction OF a pc
culiarly shaped underarm piece leads
one to think that this eccentricity of
cut is often made with an eye to its
decorative value as we'll as to the

are extended toward the back in a

CANADA'S PLANS
FOR WAR REVENUE
So Wisely Distributed That Tax
alton Will Affect Farmers to
a Degree Practically
Unnoticeable.

So many rumors have been circu-
lated regarding war taxation In
Canada that the statement made by
Sir Thomas White, Canadian Minister
OF Finance, of the Government plans
for raising war revenue should be Civ
en- the widest circulation. Sir Thomas
made 1t clear that the revenue will be
raised by taxing the profits of incor
porated companies whenever those
profits exceed seven per cent. and the
profits of unincorporated firms or part
nerships when the profits exceed ten
per cent. On all such excess profits
these companies or firms will have to
contribute one-quarter to the Govern
ment. Transportation companies.
banks. mining. milling, and other COM
panies will be subject to this taxation,
but life insurance companies. and COM
panies with less than fifty thousand
dollars capitalization, and companies,
firms, or individuals engaged In agrl-
and pay no part of this taxation. The
only other additional taxation pro-
posed is an increase Of fifty cents q
barrel in the customs duty on apples,
and one-half cent gallon in customs
duty on certain kinds of oils.
1t will be noticed that this taxation
Is being applied in such a way that 1t
does not affect farmers in ths slight
est degree, except, perhaps, through a,
small increase in cost of apples and
oil. The war revenue Is to be paid out
Of the profits of the big firms and COM
panies with capital of over fifty thou
sand dollars. and even these are al
lowed seven per cent in some cases.
and ten per cent in others, OF clear
profits before they have to pay any
part Of this taxation. 1t will be seen
that the whole policy is to place the
war expenditure taxation on those who
have been making big profits and are
able to pay 1t, and to encourage farm
ing and stockraising by exempting
farmers and stock-raisers from the tax
alton. This ought to set at rest every
rumor that the farmer or the farmers
land Is being taxed to pay the cost Of
the war.-Advertisement.

consummation devoutly to be wished
in the coat for spring.
This is one of many models in
black and white checks, more or less
large, usually more. Even in suits few
very small checks are shown. In them
and in coats the moderately large star
check seems to be best liked. The
wide pointed belt and oddly shaped
pockets give this design individuality.
The collar and cuffs are gracefully
shaped and finished with panels of
black silk. In the collar one may see
how clearly the designer has taken
advantage of the small cape idea with
out copying 1t outright. In the buttons
used irregular white stripes appear
on black background. They might
be effectively made of molds covered
with black silk with greater elegance,
but less durability. Speaking of but

Another note from Sweden has been
Washington, through Minister Eken-

eminent and other neutral nations to
maintain navigation. Following is the
text of the note: "Of late the Brit
ISL authorities have violated the mail
traffic. Parcel post from one neutral
country to another is being unloaded
in British ports and the contents are
being seized. While parcel post is
not protected through The Hague
postal convention, it nevertheless
seems to his majesty's government
that the British procedure, in the form
ard extensiveness practiced, would be
invalid in regard to even ordinary
express goods. and that this seems
OF parcel post is directed against
means of conveyance under guarantee
OF sovereign powers. Besides, great
personal inconvenience is connected
with seizure of this kind. However,
England's present practice of censor
ing also first-class mail, sent by neu-
trail vessels from one neutral country
to another, is even a greater violation
OF the rights accorded neutral powers
by the rules of international law. The

peals to the government of the United

pose of seeking to bring about dis
continuation of the violations of In
