WOULD RAISE
TWO BILLION
Senate Tax Plan Would Take
Half This from Corpora
tions and Individuals

Washington, July 3o.-The Senate
finance committee reached a tentative
agreement late Saturday to revise the
present 81 ,670,000000 war tax bill so as
to raise at least 81 100000, the larg-
er part of the increase to come from
higher income taxes.
Members Of the committee said Satur-
day night, it is possible the total of the
bill before it gets to the Senate will be
$2,000,000,000. According to the present
plan about S230,000,000 of the increase
will be obtained through the higher in
come tax rates-$70,000 600 from indi-
vidual and the rest from corporations.
The committee figured ON an increase on
the normal rate on individuals from 2
to 5 per cent and on corporations TO g.
per cent. The rest of the increase may
be obtained by increasing the excess
profits tax and by consumption taxes OF
sugar, tea, coffee and cocoa.
Under the program, sl,o62 100000
would be the total levy this year upon
incomes. The present law yields $780,.
300 900, the pending bill originally was
designed to increase this by 1882, 100000
and the $4,000, 900 additional it is now
to levy would raise it over the
billion mark.

Although Stallings used Is players in
Fridays game between Boston and St.
Louis. the Braves were defeated by the
tune of 4 to 3, even after outhitting St
Louis by IA to nine hits.
According to President Ban johnson
of the American league, it is unlikely
that any world series games will be
staged this season, since there viii be
about Is players taken from the Ameri-
can league by the draft. He is also quot
ed as saying that he would discontinue
the league schedule if the officials at
Washington should desire it.
Barre, the Red Sox manager, yester-
day denied that he was planning to enter
any branch of the military service, al
though he is willing to do his "bit" and
is considering things. He is outside of
the first draft.
Miller, the New York left fielder, had
his day in Fridays game between Chi
cago and New York, when he secured
four hits out of four times at bat.
Veaeh, the Detroit left fielder, was kept
busy in Fridays game between Detroit
and Philadelphia, when he was credited
with six putouts, besides having single
and home run out of three times at
bat to his credit.
Black, the 1916 Yale captain, and Bar

that II could not be done.
Contrary proof is Immediately at our

from the remarkable assemblage of our

I'VE entered the war four months ago
and 1t was announced by the president
that one of the great problems of the
war would be food; that we must pre-
pare to increase and TO save our food
stuifs for year in advance, not only for
ourselves, but for our allies as well.
There has been no consequential ma
tional or local legislation, yet the great
est spontaneous volunteer effort ever
made in history has not only provided us
with larger stock of food supply as a
result of patriotic planting in every
quarter, but waste is being eliminated
out of every crack and Granny of our
homes and of our industries, and this Is
being done without eompulson of the

lenial of the people.

House was in conference with the SEN
ate committee Saturday and this deci-
sion was reached as result of his con.
tention that the House might resent any
senatorial infringement on its constitu-
tional prerogative of instituting revenue
legislation. Whether the House will pre-.

The income tax increases proposed,
Chairman Simmons announced Saturday
night, represents the consensus of the
committees opinion. They probably will
stand as the committee was ready to
vote formally on the upward revision
late Saturday, but deferred final action
until to-day.
The decision Saturday to leave the
House the task of providing $1,000, O00,.
900 additional, promised greatly TO expe-
date Senate action on the pending rev.
enue bill. Senator Simmons said the
plans to complete its revision |

BRITISH CALLED "LIMEYS."
American Bluejackets Gave Them the

The sailor from the United States has
his nickname for nearly everything he
sees. Bluejackets who had served in the
near and far East first started calling
British sailors and soldiers ''lime ulcers
because of their fondness for fruit Juice
and charged water. Now the designation
has been shortened down and everything
British is 'slimey" British sailors and
soldiers clubs are known as 'limey
clubs" and British-brewed lager beer is
commonly spoken of as ''limey beer"

Others Haze Increased Their
Prices-Not Hudson

Other makers are now announcing price increases
which brings the former $1,000 and $1,000 cars
into the Hudson class. Until present material sup
plies exhausted Hudson prices remain unchanged.
So you can get for limited time Super-Six at
price not influenced by present high material costs.
When the present allotment is exhausted then
Hudson too, must 60 up in price.
For months Hudson has been the largest selling
fine car. Its popularity and the growing scarcity
and increasing cost OF materials hasten the day
when you must pay more than you can buy Super
Six for today.

And every Hudson test proves that in these respects
there is no car that equals it.
Convincing as the official records are, there is
still further proof that other car has to offer
equal advantages. These proofs are furnished by
1000 Hudson Super-Six owners They have
added their experiences to the official tests.

Hudson Super-Six
Proves Endurance

Stock Hudson Super-Six cars are deliberately
sent through tests more trying, more destructive,
than any the average driver could imagine.
For one hour, fully equipped phaeton with top
and windshield up and carrying five passengers was
sent at top speed. 1t averaged 1914 miles an hour
and established the best time for such a perfor-
nance with stock car. The test was officially
observed by the American Automobile Association
1t is just one of the many similar tests to prove
endurance.
1t was not preconceived campaign of tests that
we set out to make. Each test was thought suf-
hcient IN ITSELF But just the giant is surprised
as he realizes the with which he accomplishes
each feat that he had felt would try his strength,
the Super-Six has so easily met every test that
more trying and abusive trials have been devised.
We were sure that in the 24-hour test stock chas-
sis would break all previous records. But no one
thought il would go 347 miles farther than any
other car had ever gone in "a hours. The Super

PLAN FOR Trolley
line TO CAMBRIDGE
Project Under Consideration
TO Take in Down-State
Towns
WOULD BE ABOUT us
MILES LONG AT LEAST

That a project is under considera-
ton for a trolley line from Whining
ton to Cambridge, Nd. became known
today.
The route under consideration
would take in some OF the principal
towns in Delaware south OF Whining
ton and also some OF the leading
towns on the Eastern Shore Of Mary
land.
Some Wilmington men are inter
ested in the project. The road would
be from 125 to $50 miles long, as now
being considered.
On Tuesday last Lindes & Co,
bankers OF Philadelphia. applied to
the Levy Court for a right to use the
county roads from Wilmington to the
Kent county line through Middle
town, for a trolley company to be
known as the delaware & Maryland
Traction, Light 4 Power Co. which
proposes also to build a line in Kent
and Sussex counties.
That project, however, is said to
be different from the Wilmington
Cambridge project now being work
ed up by some Wilmingtonians.

FEAR MILK FAMINE
while FEED IS HIGH

Wilmington will face a milk famine
next winter, unless there is an unex-
pected reduction in the price OF grain
and prepared feed for cattle, accord
ing to reports of the State agricul-
tural census. There Is reason to be-
lieve that as soon as the dairy herds
are taken off pasture, in the fall
nearly fifty per cent OF the farmers
will sell their live stock, instead Of
attempting TO fight the exorbitant
feed prices during the winter
Not only does the feed for cows sell
at high price but It is hard to get
Grain for COWS is now selling at 500
a ton and the majority OF farmers de
clare that there is no profit, consider
ing the amount OF milk a COW yields
in winter in proportion to the feed il
consumes. At the present time the
farmers who are able to buy brewery
grains do not have to worry about
securing feed, but the prospect of ma
tional or local prohibition is a cause
for alarm that this source OF supply
