up the duties of his new office That

been close friend of Senator McNary
and managed his campaign for him
when he ran for supreme judge. How
ever, Senator McNary says he will not
announce the name of his private see
retary until after he has arrived at
the national capital, and has gotten on
to the ropes to a certain extent.
In addition to Mr.. Hanzen, the name
of George Palmer Putnam has been

HOUSE GETS BUSY ON

Has Limited Sum To Be Raised
to 81 100000 - Details
Nearlv CONNECTED

Washington. May 31.-Having deter
mined ON most of the basic changes in
the 81 100000 900 war tax bill passed
in the house, the senate finance COM
mittee today took up the publications
tax.
Postmaster General Burleson held a
/ long conference with Senator Simmons
chairman Of the committee, yesterday
and urged a flat increase in second
class postage rates to correspond with
the increases in first class rates Burle-
son does not believe the house "zone
system" of increasing tax on publiea-
tions is fair to the publishers. He does
think that a gradual increase in the
second class rates from year to year
could be satisfactorily met with pub
lishers
The committee has agreed to limit
the sum to be raised by taxes to slight
ly less than 81 800 100000. As the. bill
now stands in committee, most of the
taxes will come from excess profits,
liquor, tobacco, special consumption
and stamp taxes and increases in the
income tax. Committee sentiment is
strong in favor of retaining the double
tax adopted by the house on distilled
spirits and beers. It would act, the com
mittee believes, both as revenue
and as an encouragement of
war prohibition.

new and If she cannot afford it, she
at least looks in the shops for it,
Just at this point she finds what
she seeks. for there is a strongly de-
fined change OF line and cut in the

tcmbcr.
The Zouave Coat Suit.
There arc women to whom the
Prince Albert style OF costume is more
becoming than the dashing Zouavc
skirt with its trouScred suggestion and
ITS short Jacket and broad sash, but
there are enough women in the coun-
try who can wear tins picturesque cos
tune without making the observer
sink with terror from the sight of it,
All along the line OF coat suits
there has been a movement toward
short jackets, and the strength OF it
has come upon the majority unawares.
The sketch shows ono OF these new
Zouayc costumes, which is made Of
dark red jersey with an extra wide
belt of black velvet and tiny vest
and high collar vi white satin. The
Jacket is braided in black, is cut with
narrow fronts, has long, wide sleeves
that flare at the wrist and is short
enough TO show quite a good deal Of
the belt The skirt is slightly gathered
at the waist line and it achieves the
trouSered effect at the hem by means
Of the old trick Of being turned up to
the lining, which is bit narrower and
shorter than the outside fabric.
There is much evidence on every
hand that this kind Of skirt will gain
precedence over the regulation one

izance Of its strength and try it out

from this conference is essential for

because it will permit the allies to use
to its full extent the generous abun-
dance OF resources which the vast trans

URGES HOME GARDENS
Carl vrooman Advises Cultivation
of Waste Spaces.

A number Of reasons why Washing
tonianss especially should turn their
hand at truck gardening have been
pointed out by Carl Vrooman, Assistant
Secretary OF Agriculture. Every spring
the Department Of Agriculture issues
bulletins and offers its service to aid
city folks who desire to devote q bit
of back yard or an adjacent vacant
lot to the raising OF eatables.
Mr.. Vrooman gave the following rea-
sons OF ths advantages Washington Of
fers for such work.
I'VE have the Agricultural Department
with all its expert advice right here as
a neighbor. besides available agents
from the department who are ready to
do actual demonstration work in this
city.
There Is an unusual large amount OF
available space here for gardening; back
yards and vacant lots are more numer-
Gus and larger than in the average city.
The vast majority Of Washingtonians
are Government employees who get away
from work at 4:3o and. what with Satur-
day afternoons. they have plenty Of op-
portunities to cultivate home gardens.
Most folks in this country do not
realize that II Is possible, by using
methods not difficult to learn. to raise
three and even four vegetable crops
during a summer. some OF which can be
stored for the winter months" said Mr..

bers of the naval coast defense re-
serve will be started tomorrow by
Rear Admiral James H. Glennon, COM
mandant, and his assistants.
The swearing in OF the workmen Ii
