Chairman Kitchin conceded that 1t was doubtful if the bill could be reported to the House by the committee by next Monday He annoupced, however. there is no question whatever of the bill rais- ing the total 5000, ,OOo0o0 sought.
 MT. Kitchin announced that Secretary McAdoo in his latest letter agreed to the plan of dividing business into groups for the purposes of deduction of pre- war earnings but that maximum !. per cent deduction which the committee had proposed to give to mining and kindred hazardous enterprises, was toe great and that 10 per cent was more equitable. The committee in all proba- bility will write into the bill . division of corporations and other business en- terprises into two groups. for deduction purposes in the war profits taxes on the basis of a pre-war earnings. These groups probably will be financial and transportation concerns, including Ill public utilities, 8 per cent deduction and manufacturing. mining, gas and oil wells and other miscellaneous business 10 per cent deduction

John M. DeShazo Returns From Retail Clothiers Convention in New
 York With Message

John M. DeShazc, president Of the Alabama Retail Clothiers' association, who returned yesterday from the an- nual convention of the National Asso- citation of Retail Clothiers, which was {. held in New York last week, brought back the message to Alabamians that their clothing outfit may be considera- ply curtailed next spring. The supply of wool now on hand at the mills ana the wooden goods already made up will not last more than another year, /. according to reports made at the con- vention. and conservation was strongly urged upon the merchants in attend ance.
 Mir. DeShazo was elected a delegate to the national convention by the Ala bama Retail Clothiers' association at it's convention in Birmingham about two weeks ago. Tn speaking Of the national convention, MT. DeShazo said.
 q don't think there has ever been a convention of retail merchants where so many men of the widest experience and of the greatest business acumen were gathered as at the annual con- yentlon or the NdtloIdi ASsocIaeioh oA Retail Clothiers, held in New York city August 12 to 16, and I might say that the problems which came up at that convention for discussion were of greater importance, not only to the retail interests but also to the vast consuming public of the United States, than have yet arisen in the clothing industry.
 n I've were told that General March, scchief of the United States army staff, has said that after the present stocks are exhausted, the civilian population of the country must go along with clothes made entirely of shoddy, which is nothing more or less than reworked fabrics made out of discarded cloth ing and woolens

 "As is entirely right, the millions of young men who compose our fighting forces have, and will continue to have. first claim upon our domestic wool production and upon any that may be imported from Argentina or Australia, but every available tonnage of ship ping both for ourselves and for OUT allies is being pressed into the war service and importationsof wool, there fore, will probably be very small in volume. Rather than divert the ton mage from the transatlantic service and thus weaken our fighting forces to that extent, our government ex- poets every man to conserve wool even to the point of wearing shoddy and cotton.

SOLDIERS ID GET
 TOUGH TRAINING Obstacle Course Introduced in Camps to Give Men
 More Dash

Washington. August 9o.-An obstacle course which makes the ordinary hurdle race seem tame in comparison has been introduced at Camp Kearney, Cal, by the war department commission on train ing camp activities at the suggestion of Dr. Joseph E. Raycroft, director of the athletic division of the training camp commission, which he made on a recent visit to the camp.
 The obstacles have been arranged with a view to acquainting the soldiers with the conditions they will encounter in actual warfare. Among them are brush hurdles, a shallow trench seven feet wide, wire entanglements, a fence three and a half feet high plank bridges over 16-feet trenches and a seven-foot wal must be sealed within one minute after
 reaching it without assistance except
 when the rifle is used in the drill. Then
 the men may aid one another
 According to John R. Case athletic director of the training camp commis- sion at Camp Kearney, the obstacle course serves to take the fear out of the man and makes them tackle unusual bar riers with more dash and resolution. The wire entanglements and the seven-foot wall give them the most trouble, he says In a recent test in which 121 men par ticipated, F per cent failed on the en. tanglement obstacle. while 10.7 per cen' we're unable to climb the wall.
