M'ADOO PLANS TO
BOOST PROFIT TAX
Urges S3oo,ooo,O00 Increase
Before House Body.
KTcHIN PREDICTS HARMONY
Eighty Per Cent Levy Recommended
by Secretary and Aids-"Port Tax"
on Coffee, Tea and Bananas
Forecast.

Washington, Aug. 15.-Secretary of
the Treasury McAdoo laid before the
house ways and means committee his
plan for an excess profits tax with an
alternative war profits levy to be in
Guided in the new revenue bill.
The plan proposes the retention of
existing rates in the present excess
profits tax with a maximum of so per
cent affecting about 90 per cent of all
the business corporations coming I'M
der this schedule.
Secretary McAdoo estimated that
the treasury plan would produce from
S300000,000 to $4S0.000,000 more than
under the plan tentatively agreed to by
the committee recently.
Experts Accompany MeAdoo.
The secretary was accompanied by
Assistant Secretaries Leffingwell and
Love, Internal Revenue Commissioner
Roper and other treasury experts.
AT the conclusion of the conference
Secretary McAdoo and Chairman
Kitchin Of the house ways and means
committee joined in the prediction that
they would get together on plan and
Secretary McAdoo added that you
can see that Mr.. Kitchin and l have
Lo bayonets for each other"
See Early Passage.
Mr.. Kitchin made the following
statement:
Secretary McAdoo, Assistant Sere-
tary Leffingwell and Doctor Adams
have been discussing the excess profits
and war profits tax. We have adj
journed with the idea of comforting
again tomorrow to see if we can work
out proper relation between the ex-
cess profits and war profits. We viii
work it out"
Secretary McAdoo interiected that
they have. good basis of agreement
all around. Mr.. Kitchin added that the
disposition tends toward the facilita'
ton of early passage of the bill through
both houses.
Some facts entirely new to the COM
mittee bearing on the question were
submitted to the treasury with the re-
suit that the outlook is either the
treasury department plan win he
adopted or that compromise embody-
ing most of the substantial principles
of the treasury plan will be agreed to-.
Still Short of Renue.
Despite this agreement and the in
creased revenue claimed for the treas
ury plan, which Secretary McAdoo
said would take care of exceptional
cases, it was stated that the. bill will
fall short to the extent of between
$500,000000 and S1OO0,000,OO0 the
$S.000,0000O0 sought.
A port tax on tea, coffee. cocoa su-
gar, bananas and other tropical fruits
coming through the ports may have to
be resorted to. it was said, or some
other new tax feature considered.
The first break in the committee oc-
CURED when Representative Rainey of
Illinois. after making a stand for in
crease of the taxes on estates in ex-
cess of S1,000.000 and being voted
down, announced that he would carry
on the fight on the floor of the house.

V0LTAIRE'S VIEW OF DREAMS
Philosopher Gave Much Credenee to
: Mental Workings of Man
d During Sleep. tsM

Voltaire, semipagan philosopher
as he was, gave more importance to
dreams than was to be thought prob
able in one so well endowed, observes
the Indianapolis News. Dreams -
he said, "appear to me to have been
the sensible origin of primitive
prophecy or prediction. Dreams
which have come to pass are always
predictions which no one can doubt.
no account being taken of dreams
which are never fulfilled. How is it
that while the eyes see not, the ears
hear not, we, Notwithstanding, un-
derstand in our dreams? In one Of
my dreams I supped with M. Tou-
ron, who appeared to compose verses
and music, which he sang to us. I
addressed these four lines to him in
my dream:
" Thy gentle accents, Touron, dear,
Sound most delightful to my ear!
With how much ease the verses roll,
Which flow, while singing, from tliy
soulp"
GIN another dream I recited the
first canto of the sHenraide' quite
different from what it is. Yesterday
! dreamed that verses were recited at
supper and that someone pretended
they were too witty. I replied that
verses were entertainments given to
the soul and that ornaments are nee
essary in entertainments. I have
therefore said things in my sleep
which !. should have some difficulty
to say when awake; I have had
thoughts and reflections, in spite of
myself and without the least yolun-
tary operation on my own part, and
nevertheless combined my ideas with
sagacity and even with genius. We
should never be good philosophers
except when dreaming!"

ENGLAND WANTS LIQUOR
 SALE STOPPED FIR WAR
CBy Associated Press)

LONDON, Feb. (by maiD hibition of the sale of intoxicating lfq- uor during the war and for the period of demobilization was urged the other day upon Dr Christopher Addison, cabinet minister. without portfolio in charge of reconstruction, by a deputa- ton from the Strength of Britain movements.
 pr Addison expressed agreement with many of the arguments advanced by the deputation but reminded them that whatever might be an ideal meas ure for the national we'll being, it would not be suited to application His experience in the ministry of mum itions showed him, he said, that to- make restrictions exceeding the will ingness of the people to whom they were to apply was calculated to ag- gravate evils which the restrictions aimed to correct
 Lord D'AbernOn, chairman of the lluuOI COHIIOA DOdIuy Oh IuS 6dlne SuU@ ject, said, ''It is sincerely hoped that during demobilization there will be no relaxations of the regulations now in force. The return to this country of men who drink will naturally feel themselves entitled to a certain amount of pleasure will create condi- tions wherein excess might burst forth again, and therefore it will be very un- wise to adopt a relaxation which might create a national disaster.
 "If the present system of restric- tions in regard to the sale of drink is maintained for few months this coun- try will be able to claim that it has advanced further along the path of temperance reform than any country in the world"

BELGIAN SOAP FAMINE
 CAUSES MUCH SUFFERING

Tt has been noted several times" says the Belgian Information bureau, that soap is almost completely lack ing in certain places in occupied Bel gium, where it is sold for an exorbi- tant price. This is the case in the region of Charleroi. The working peo- pie, according to a Teutonized Brus- sells journal, do not wash any more, except after the manner of cats. Con- sequently the scurvy is spreading, es' pecially in the homes dependent on aid, to such degree that several com munal administrations ns-notably that of Chatelet-are about to take special measures to stop this new scourge. In certain communes establishments are immediately to be created where those who are contaminated can take special baths under the supervision of doctors and nurses"

 The success then achieved did not establish the institution because the means employed were so cumbersome and expensive in execution. It was only after the first few months of the war that the painters services were called into play and canvas and paint as we'll as underbrush became useful adjuncts of the army.

RELIEF GIVEN DEPENDENTS OF
 SOLDIER BOYS
iBy Associated Press)

CAMP LEWIS, Tacoma, March A. A bureau of military relief Is main tained here by the American Red Cross organization under the direct management of w R. Van Valen, who is assistant to Field Director Arthur c. Prichard, a Tacoma banker. MT, Van Valen is assisted in his work by his wife who takes an equal interest jn the duties With their small daugh- ter, the Van Valens reside in hut" near the center of the cantonment. They are always at the service of the soldiers.
 An idea of the relief accomplished by the local bureau is obtained from the official report submitted for the month of January. Disposition was made of fifty-five relief cases wherein aid was given relatives and families of soldiers. Thirty-eight were classi- fled as general relief, such as suffer ing by reason of delay in receiving allotments, temporary sickness and lack of funds to meet payments on homes. Free medical attention was secured for the wives of eight soldiers. Three necessary operations were per formed on relatives of enlisted men at no expense to the latter
 Six of the cases pertained to busi- ness problems which required legal attention or the advice of efficiency men in different lines. These cases were scattered throughout the west and several were covered in the cen traI states. In urgent eases arrange ments for relief are quickly made by telegraphic instruction in event those needing it live at a distance
 Besides attending to the cases hay ing to do with the relieving of the minds of the men, the Red Cross ac- cOmplished much toward making them physically comfortable. On the ap- proved requests of company comman- ders the soldiers were presented with II. .5O5 sweaters, 2,676 pairs of socks made of knitted wool, 5,063 pairs of wristlets and 855 mufflers. In the same period 16,210 sweaters, 2,044 pairs pair of socks, 6,757 pairs of wristlets, and 2,355 mufflers were re- ceived from the various Red Cross chapters of the west for distribution.
 Shipments of knitted woolen articles valued at $2O,O0O and upwards are constantly being received and since the bureau was opened the disburse- ments have aggregated several hun dred thousand dollars in this canton ment alone. At Christmas every off cer and enlisted man was recipient of 2 package from the Red Cross con taining many useful articles.
 The affairs of the bureau are con- ducted entirely in accordance with bus mess methods. The assistant director js bonded and his reports must account for every article passing through the local warehouse.

.ROY SCOUTS ARE DOING
 REAL SERVICE ABROAD
(By Associated Pressl

LONDON, March 4.-In many ways the Boy Scouts have rendered valuable national service since the war started Now, in response to an appeal from the food controller they are going to help the farmers kill rabbits.
 From the point of view both of food production and crop protection" says the food controller, "the killing of rab- bits at the present time IS a national and public service. Every rabbit kill ed represents roughly two and a half pounds of food for the nation, and means also one enemy the less for the crops and the farmer"
