VOTE IN SENATE ON
WAR PROFITS TAX
Test Expected Today on Sena-
tor Johnson's 73 Per Cent
Amendment.
BUSINESS RUIN PREDICTED

When the Senate met today the stage
was set for a vote on Senator Johnson's
amendment to increase the tax on war
profits to 73 per cent, which, with ex-
listing law. would bring the tax up to
so per cent. The strength of~the fac
tion in the Senate demanding that a
very large percentage of all war profits
be taken for the conduct of the war
will be revealed when the vote is taken.
Senators supporting the committee
bill as amended asserted today that
they had strength enough to defeat all
such amendments as the Johnson
amendment On the other hand. the So
called -maximalists' insisted they
would be able to increase the rate on
war profits considerably. Senator
Borah of Idaho blocked a vote on the
johnson amendment just before the
Senate took a recess last evening. be-
cause a number of senators interested
in the adoption of such an amendment
were absent from the chamber. He
threatened to take the floor and talk
indefinitely unless the vote were put
off until today.
Chairman Simmons of the finance
committee. in charge of the bill, there
upon moved recess, after vigorously
criticising senators for absenting them
selves when a measure SO important as
the revenue bill was pending.

Committee Bill Attacked.

During the debate yesterday after
noon Senators Gronna and Hollis at
tackled the committee bill and urged
that the rates on war profits be in
creased and that the consumption taxes
on sugar. coffee, tea and cocoa be
stricken out.
Senator Smoot warned the Senate
against levying too high a tax on busi-
ness. declaring if this was done ruin
would result. He added that if Senator
johnson realized the effect his amend
ment would have he would not press it,
"If business is made to pay a profits tax
Of so, 20 or so per cent and an income tax
there will be few left at the close of this
war to pay dollar for dollar on what has
been invested" he declared. Millions of
dollars have been spent in the extension
OF plants that after the war will hardly be
worth 10 cents on the dollar"

with stain and the trim being paint
dow stills, the walls are finished with
stucco, timbered after the English
style. The timbering is worked out to
conform with the outline of the win
dows. The walls of the dormer are fin
ished after the style of the second
floor of the building. The foundation
walls are of concrete, which is carried
up to the stills of the house shown in
the Illustration. Some might prefer to
build the basement wall above grade
Of brick. Usually the concrete is
stopped at grade and the wall is con-
tinued to the stills with face brick on
the outside and common brick for
backing. A waterprOofing membrane
is carefully worked into the wall to
prevent the entrance of moisture at
the joint between the concrete and the
brick. Occasionally we see the base
ment wall continued up in concrete to
the stills of the building through the
thickness of the wall except for about
four inches at the front, which part
of the wall is later built up with face
brick. A third method is to follow the
wall up above the concrete with face
brick backed with hollow tile.
The hip roof of this house is built
with wide cornices having the ends of
the rafters exposed. The slope of the
roof Is broken, just above the cornices,
into a more gentle slope, which gives
the roof an appearance of gracefulness.
The dormer roof is treated in the same
way as the main roof. All of the dou-
BILE hung windows have a plain lower
sash and the upper sash Is broken up
into a large number of small square
lights. The effect is artistic and thor
oughly in keeping with other details of
exterior design. The front entrance
consists of simple but solidly built
door stained in conformity with the
rough siding, having narrow window
on each side. This entrance with the
porch-terrace are very effective in en-
phasizing the rustic aspect of the
house.
The house has basement under all
parts except the porch. Grade windows
are of sufficient size and in sufficient
number to make this a useful part of
the house. Separate rooms are pro-
vided for the heating plant, the laun-
dry, the vegetable cellar and bins are
built for the fuel.

what has been accomplished by build
ing the corners In this way. On the
first floor one of the rear corners p
utilized as an entrance into the kitchen.
An outside icing refrigerator is to be
placed on one side of the passageway,
ON the other side of which there is a
built-in case. The kitchen Is made
very handy, indeed, by the addition of
this entrance feature. In the other
rear corner, there is the most cozy lit
tie den imaginable. A seat Is built into
the corner, which is lighted on three
sides. The fireplace is directly before
the seat. On the second floor the cor
ner bedrooms are made very pleasant
by the bay windows.
In addition to this special construc-
ton, there are several other features
which are interesting. The double fire.
place Is one of these. Its use calls for
the utilization of one chimney having
two flues to serve two fireplaces and
the basement heater. The fireplace In
the den is built into the corner Of the
room while the one In the living room

obtained In adjusting the color, texture
and pattern Of the wall surface to
bring out just the character desired.
There Is still the possibility Of vary
Ing slightly from the plain rectangular
outline of plan, such that the room ar
rangement Is not disturbed, yet the ap-
pearance is altered to conform with
the owners ideas. This method is
usually more costly than the average
man is DESTROYS of using simply as
means Of improving the appearance.
However, few simple changes in the
plan outline may often result in the
production of greatly increased COM
fort in certain of the rooms and the
cost is then justified.

square type which has been treated in
a novel way, both as regards wall fin

PRUNE GRAPE VINES IN FALL
Leaves Begin to FaII-Cut Back
to Buds Wanted for Fruit.

AS a general rule, the pruning OF
grape vines may be commenced as
soon as the leaves drop in the fall. If
the wood is to be used in starting new
vines, it is best to cut 1t from the
vines, before freezing weather comes.
When pruning in the fall or during the
winter, the vines should not be cut
back to the bud or buds that are want
ed for fruit
A few weeks before the buds start
the vines should be gone over and the
extra buds cut off. The second prun-
ing should be done before cold weather
Is over for if put off too long the sap
will ooze from the wound and injure
the vines. Should the vines be pruned
in the fall down to the buds wanted
for fruit, some of them might be win
ter-killed and the amount of fruit ex-
pected cut short.
If vines are laid down and protected
during the winter, the pruning may
be all done before they are laid down
in the fall.
Some vineyardists do not prune at
all till the latter part Of winter or
early spring. In this case the pruning
may be done so as to leave only the
buds wanted to bear fruit the coming
season. But, vines may be safely
trimmed any time between the falling
of the leaves in the fall and the be-
ginning of sap flow in the spring.

PLANT FRUIT TREES IN FALL
Practice Is Recommended Where Win
tiers Are Not Severe-Root Ends
Become Caloused.

Generally speaking, fall planting Of
fruit trees is to be recommended in re-
gions where the winters are not severe.
This is only in a general way, of course,
but where fall planting has been done
in past seasons with success, it is usu-
ally safe to continue it. One advan-
tage is that severed ends of roots must
become calloused before they start to
grow, and this callousing will proceed
during the dormant period If the roots
are protected in the soil or in suitable
storage. This makes them ready to
begin growth as early in the spring as
the weather will permit, If they have
been set during the fall or winter. The
earth becomes settled firmly around
the roots, the soil is seldom dry during
winter and in favorable seasons there
is more or less root growth during the
fall after setting. These all combine
to give the fall set tree an advantage.
In most localities it is safe to set
trees at any time during their dormant
period, provided the soil is in good
condition for working.

Ordinarily, the square type of house
with it's plain hip roof is rather COM
monplace in its appearance, even
though 1t is hardly ever beaten in the
matter of space economy and convent
ence of room arrangement. Taken as
whole, the square type of house is a
very sensible class Of building for the
average man, because it represents
very nearly maximum usefulness for
money invested.
The question arises "Can the square
type house be treated in such a manner
us to easily give it distinctive ap-
pearance without excessive cost?" The
question Is most easily answered by
reference to the several methods which
may be followed in finishing the walls
Of the building. This subject covers
wide variety Of effects which may be

HEAD AND THROAT IRpuBLEIss
Colds and catarrh Are Most Common
Among PouItry-Breed Cot staflt.

Poultry Division University FIRM Davis,
CALI - esN
The most common head and throat
troubles of fowls are colds, and ca
tarrh. The symptoms of colds are
running, dirty and stopped up nos
trils. The symptoms of catarrh are
difficult and rapid breathing, with
mouth open, and whistling or bub-
bling in throat due to phlegm. These
troubles are most common in fall and
early winter, and are easily overcome.
Simple colds and catarrh can be
prevented by removing the above
causes and breeding constantly for
health and vigor. To treat, search
out and isolate in separate quarters
all infected fowls and give stimulat-
ing food seasoned with cayenne pep
per, or the following tonic:
Pulverized gentian, one pound; pull
verified ginger, One-quarter pound; pull
verified saltpeter, One-quarter pound;
pulverized iron sulphate, one-quarter
pound.
Use two to three tablespoonfuls Of
the tonic to ten quarts of dry mash.

Pruning may still be done in mild
weather and the wood saved for propa-
CATION if needed. Leave one to two
extra buds on the canes when prun-
ing at this season. This will prevent
the topmost buds being killed if the
winter is severe. In the spring these
extra buds must be removed.

STORE WATER-CORED APPLES
Fruit OF This Kind After Three Months
Storage Found to Be In Salts
factory Condition.

Water-coring is most frequently
found in Baldwin, Northwest Greening
and Gravenstein. Leaving the fruit
on the trees too late, thus allowing
them to become overripe, causes wa
ter-coring. 1t is believed that this is
due to cool weather checking the
respiration from the leaves, while the
roots continue to absorb a large
amount of moisture. The fruit in con-
sequence becomes overloaded with
moisture.
Storage of apples in this condition
hiss been found to entirely eliminate
the water-coring. Water-cored apples
after three months storage were dis
covered to be quite normal and pos
sessed good keeping qualities.
