Chicago. Aug. 3.-Despite the numer
Gus rules Of golf. a situation frequently
arises in an important match that can
not bx satisfactorily decided under the
letter OF golfing law. Many decisions
are made 6y Inverse deduction from
the precepts OF the game. For example.
one rule provides that after the ball Is
in play nothing flxed or growing shall
be moved, bent or broken, except In
taking th1 stance or In the regular
swing at the ball. This iY held to for
bid practice strokes after the player
leaves the tee.

Club, and not being decided. caused
Pat Doyle, OF Deal, N. Ito cut away

that nothing shall be done to improve

compilers of the rules probably did
not figure on the contingency OF find-
ing q tree limb. blown of by q storm.

That was what Doyle encountered
when hts long drive from the thir-

blown leafy branch Of a nearby oak
into the trap. Doyle was barely able
to see his ball under the Limb. While
some Of the onlookers Thought the
limb might be removed under rule
which provides for dropping the ball
away from a hole made by the green
keeper or from ground opened for re-

it lay.

Washington, Aug. 3.-Eeavy In
creases in the present war tax on to-
bacco. cigars and cigarets were agreed
to yesterday by the shouse ways and
means committee as part o. the new
$4,000, 100000 revenue bill. The tax
imposes three times the existing rates
on some items Of the schedule and is
expected to raise approximately $40.
100000 in comparison with the pres
ent $16s. 10000 revenue from tobacco.
The committe has made substantial
Roadway In Its work. and some Of its
members predicted that all danger Of
delay in reporting the bill OH Aug 10 is
over.
So far, however, there is large gap
between the total estimated from the
excess profits and income tax sections
and the $4,000, oo0, 900 allotted to those
sections in the original plan.
There was some discusaian Of. two
plans to superiml>ose strictly war
profits tax on the, excess profits tag,
one OF the plans being for complete
supplemental tax. every dollar Of which
would be additional tc-the excess pro-
fits revenue. and the other an alterna-
tive proposition under which the treas-
ury would impose either the excess
profits tax or the war profits tax, but
not both Of them, the ta.. to be I'm
posed being that which would bring
the larger revenue in each individual
case.
Yesterdays action as to war taxes on
tobacco was independent CT the special
license tax on manufacturers Of to-
bacco. in which double tho present tax
was imposed on the basis Of the en-
nual sales.
Chairman Kitclain made this state
ment last night:
1.-THE committe reached the follow
ing tentative decision as to the tobacco
schedule: On cig,rs weighing not more
than three pounds per thousand, tax
increased from the present 81 per
thousand to 81 pei. thousand;
cigars weighing more than three
pounds per thousand and retail
ing at not more than cents each, in
creased from 50 to IS yer thousand;
cigars retailing at more than cents
and not more tlaan cents each, in
creased from 81 70 SO per thousand;

10 to, 80, 10 70 40 and ~ to IS Years.
Washington, Aug. s.I-Notwithstand-
ing all speculations as to the draft age
limits to be fixed in Secretary Bakers
new manpower bill. it became known
that the age limits have not been
definitely agreed upon. The bill itself
had bean entirely redrafted. and the
section liking thu ages Of, the men 10 be
drafted had been written In blank.
Final determination of the age limits.
1t ID understood. viii not be made until
next Monday.
Secretary Baker permitted Newspaper
men to eliminate certain ages from
speculation by saying that the ages
would not be 10 to SO, 1910 20 or 81 to
IS. He declined to state his preference
In the matter OF fixing the limits either
up or down.
The president Is known to be strongly
opposed to any lowering Of the draft
age below the present minimum of 81.
1t is, understood that the president in
clines favorably toward making So the
maximum and 81 the minimum.
I The part which organized labor 10
called upon to perform insthe war may
have considerable influence In the 1inal
determination of the age limits.
Officials in all departments Of the
government, engaged in war work have
from time to time expressed the fear
that raising the draft age limit to As
years. or even to 40, might interfere
very seriously with the labor problem
in the ship yards and imuhition fac
tories. where war manufacture must
be carried on. This argument has had
great weight with those who favor SO
years as the maximum age.
|, Chairman Dent Of the house military
affairs committee said that he il ready
to introduce the bill whenever it is sub
mitted to him.
Il expect to get the bill from Secre-
tary Baker on Monday" he said. Il
will introduce 1t at once and members
of the Committee who are here can be-
gin to study 1t. I do not expect to call
the committee together until the regu-
lar sessions Of the house are resumed,

members will have had opportunity to
study it so the committee can go right
