REDRAFT REVENUE MEASURE
Government Will Annex Half OF All
Earnings That Exceed $50o,ooo,
Under New Proposal.

Notwithstanding house ways and
means committee has begun ripping
apart and redrafting the war revenue
bill submitted by it's subcommittee.
Two brief sessions of the full commit
tee resulted in overturning, by vote
of Is to 7, the subcommittee proposal
to reduce the amount to be raised
from $1,SOO,O0O,O 900, as suggested by
Secretary McAdoo, to approximately
1,400 10000 and in a general upward
revision of the income tax increases
written into the bill. Every rate at-
fecting incomes above $4,000, it is
understood. was tentatively increased
by the full committee.
So sharp were advances, it Is sald'
that about half of all incomes in ex-
cess of 100000 annually would go to
the government. Excess profits tax
proposals is expected to be attacked
by the committee, with every indica-
ton that the subcommittee plan will
be greatly altered if not wholly dis
carded. 1t proposes doubling the pres
ent rate of per cent on profits eX-
ceeding $4,000 and per cent.

Amsterdam.-In the first two months
of unrestricted submarine warfare
shipping to the amount of more than
100000 tons was sunk by the Ger

the submarine campaign was proving
to be a great success, he continued:
"The first months results eXcelled the
best previous results by % per cent
the second months by so per cent. Ex-

sunk exceeded 100000, of which
more than 100000 was British.

Vanity and Spectacles.

One of the popular objections to
wearing glasses Is that wearing glasses
makes one look old. This was true in
the days when they were worn only
to help poor sight, and chiefly by the
elderly. Now, very large percentage
of wearers Of spectacles are children
and the wearing of spectacles is no
longer a mark Of advanced age. 1t Is
not sufficient excuse for lady to
say that glasses would make her look
old. Moreover, wearing glasses is one
Of the best preservers of youthful
appearance, observes the Worlds
Work. This is because prolonged eye
strain causes wrinkles to appear pre-
maturely and gives the countenance
strained, anxious, tired, drawn, cross
look, which is very characteristic and
Is far more to be avoided, from the
point Of view Of appearance, than the
slight Disagreement of glasses. In
deed, so far from being unbecoming,
there are some types Of face to which
glasses Just add the finishing touch.
