NEW REVENUE BILL WILL PROVIDE s
 BILLION NEEDED
But Passage of Nation Wide Dry Law Would
 Reduce Income.

Washington, Aug. 1.-The new rev enue bill upon which the house ways and means committee has been work ing since congress recessed early in July will raise a total of $S,000, ,000 ,000 for the expenses of the government in the present fiscal year, Chairman Kitchin of the committee announced today when the committe adjourned it's sessions until Monday It is pro- bable, Chairman Kitchin said, that the bill will be introduced next week and be taken up by the house a week from Monday.
 The announcement that therevenue to be obtained under the bill will reach the goal set by the treasury de- partment was made by Mir. Kitchin after he had consulted the commit tees accountant
 Changes in the schedules not as yet definitely fixed may lower the total, it was stated, and. in that case the committee may have to resort to a customs tax and floor tax on tea, coffee, and similar products. Chang ing conditions also may affect the amount of revenue to be obtained.
 The committee is watching the out come of the effort to pass national war time prohibition measure which the senate is to take up August 24. If prohibition measure is enacted, revenues to be obtained under the bill will be decreased considerably.
 The new tax on liquor may not be announced until the till is reported to the house but is understood to pro- vide substantial incmrease on whls- ky and other liquors and soft drinks, a total revnue of $1,000,000,0O0 or more.
 The committee today finally ap- proved the tobacco schedule unchans- ed from rates heretofore announced. :. In the 10 per cent tax of articles deemed luxuries abovesa' certain price it made the tax apply to women.s waists in excess of $15, instead of S10, as previously agreed to and to women's hats at $15 instead of $25.

 Richards Only 15.
 Richards is the youngest player ever to hold the title. He is only 15 years old but his game has been the sensation of thet tournament and was worthy today ofthe best tradi- tions of the championship. He had the coolness, steadiness. resources, and court generalship of veteran, with all the speed of youth.
 Early in the match he learned that Wright's weakness was overhead and thereafter f1e lobbed the former cham pion into the back court away from the net where he was dangerous.
 On the other hand, Alexander is very strong overhead. Richards never gave him a chance to kill a single lob.
 His partner, Tilden, the national fcaly court champion, played smash ing game His service and returns were extremely severe and for the greater part ofthe match he kept his shots under control.
