Schools Urged to Follow Michigan's

Occupation.

Detroit, Mich.-Universities colleges
and technical schools throughout the
country are urged to follow the lead
of the University of Michigan in pro-
viding special courses for woman stu
dents in drafting and tracing, inspec-
ton and treating Of materials.
The move was given impetus recent
ly at a joint session of the American
Society of Mechanical Engineers and
the Detroit Engineering society,", The
engineers say the present deficiency in
skilled workers may be met by wom-
en-, with short period Of training, as
it has in other belligerent nations.
Employers who could use skilled help
were urged to "exert their influence
with universities colleges and tech
nical schools, and cooperate with them
in developing and making available a
great body Of intelligent and adaptable
women who are as eager and willing
to serve their country as their BROTH
ers.'

The latest figures show that the av-

of Secretary McAdoo, who proposed to
the congress the measure creating the

Mile. Vera Smirnova is known to
every Russian who has been in Petro-
grad within the last five years. Her
marvellous contralto voice had won for
her the most enviable position in
court life.
She was the lioness of the most ex-
elusive set of all Of Russia, and she
was the idol of the peasants of that
ill-fated country. Her rendition of the
Russian gypsy songs endeared her to
ALL.
Travelling in the set she did, she
to the notice of that famed mystic of
all mystics- Rasputin, the Holy One of
Russia.
For long time the man who domi-
mated Russia even more than the car
himself, had cast covetous eyes on the
charming singer. Finally, the mo-
ment he had long wished for came
during an entertainments held in the
home of grand duchess.
On the plea that he desired to talk
with her on spiritual things, she went
with him into the conservatory. When
she realized his plans, she forgot that
she was the guest Of the grand duch-
ess, forgot what the result might be,
forgot her surroundings completely and
almost tore into shreds the face of the
Holy One. When Rasputin was Ques-
toned as to the cause Of his scars, he
replied that he had been wrestling
with the spirits of evil controlling the
fair Mile. Vera.
Prince Youssoupov and his wife,
Princess Irene, were the intimate
friends of Mile. Smirnova. Naturally
she told her story Of the encounter
with Rasputin to them. The prince,
already worked up to a pitch over a
similar insult by Rasputin to Princess
Irene, vowed that within 48 hours she
would be revenged. Almost to the
minute the body of Rasputin was
found.
Mile. Smirnova is now in this coun-
try, where she is helping to swell the
Golfers of the Red Cross fund by sing
ing her loved gypsy songs to the peo-
pie Of her own country, in the lam
guage they understand.

CUPID MAKES APPEAL FOR AID
Paris May Change Hours for CeIe-
brating Marriages Because of
New Food Rules.

Paris.-It is possible that owing to
the recent food restrictions the legal
hours for the celebration of marriages
in Paris will be changed. At present
it is forbidden to serve food in restau-
rants, cafes or hotels between 2 80
p. m. and 80 p. m.
Caterers who provide for marriage
festivities have found a great deal Of
difficulty in finishing the repast within
the restricted hours and have petit
toned the minister of food on the mat
ter.
Realizing the reasonableness Of the
request the minister has asked the
project of the Seine to issue instruc-
tons to the mayors Of the Paris ar
rondissements or wards to see If it is
not possible to advance the hours
fixed for the celebration Of marriages.

He is merely concerned with the scan.

this army of shirkers who, aunder the

''The people who know what is 60

nous is the number of people who are
working in Gerlnany's interest in for
eign countries. 1t will be extraOr-
dinarily interesting to hear something
one day about their duties and their
achievements.
"When the war broke out we were
told in Germany that we had not done
enough to make sure of the moral
conquest of the world, that our re-
sources in the matter of secret agents
were too small and our methods too
Old-fashioned. Instantly there arose
a number of persons quick to under
stand the magnitude of the opportu-
nifty that was presented, and all these
offered to help the fatherland in this
dire necessity.
'Everyone who pretended that he
had some relationship with foreigners
was sent away with plenty of money.
Adventurous plans (of which nothing
more was ever heard) were greedily
accepted, and we threw ourselves in
to great propaganda work which
was considered Intelligent and mod
ern.'
Gail this was supposed to win over
the world and turn the hearts Of for

spoiled the little that remained to
spoil. In the remotest corners of the

neighboring countries, this work Of

still has a large reserve Of strong

PLAN ATTACHMENTS
ON INCOME TAXES
Committee to Borrow Princi-
pies From British Law in
Framing Bill.
RELIEVES SMALL FARMERS
Effort Will Be Made to Re-
duce Burden Of Enlarged
Supertaxes.
Special Desnnfch To THE SrN.

opecf0f Despofro 10 THE sen.
wAsHrNoroN, July Establishments
in the income tax on individuals Is ex-
pected to be the next work to be taken
up by the Ways and Means Committee
in It's first draft of the new revenue
aw The committee members indicated
to-day that the majority of the COM
matter before proceeding with other
forms of taxation.
Many of the committee drawing the
bills--possibly majority--while in
n: reement on the imposition of the
10 per cent normal tax on incomes hold
the belief that this should not apply
10 per cent. normal tax on incomes hold
The, enlarged supertaxes with a 10 per
cent normal tax would put far greater
burden on them than is intended, they
point out.
Largely on this account some mem
bers OF the committee are in favor Of
adopting a system of attachments SINH
lar to those Incorporated in the British
law. In Great Britain the normal tax
is 30 per cent but the law is so drawn
that this applies In full only to I'M
earned incomes OF more than $500.
The British law also makes a strong
discrimination in favor of earned in
comes, granting an additional varying
abatement on ioncmes up TO s12,500.
1t has been demonstrated to the COM
mittee that without some relief from a
10 per cent. normal tax an unmarried
man with an income of $500 a year
would have to pay the normal tax of 10
The sun. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1916-1920, 1918-07-28

per cent. on all OF this amount except
the $1,000 exemption and the per cent.
supertax on the portion Of his income
between $1,000 and $500. This would
make his normal tax $3.50 and his SUI
pertax 500 under the rates proposed in
the bill. His total tax would be just
10 per cent of his entire income
Two forms Of relief from this heavy
tax on the smaller class Of incomes are
suggested. the first is that jnomes under
a comparatively low figure, about $l5,-
900, be subject only to a part OF the
normal tax. The second suggestion Is
that only n certain percentage of the
income below $3.50 be subjected to the
10 per cent. normal tax. Either plan
would have the effect desired and the
choice between them is largely in de-
termining which would prove simplest
Some members of the committee are
preparing also to put up n stiff fight to
secure further abatement on incomes
which are wholly earned or more than
SO per cent. earned. If this plan is
adopted 1t will be borrowing another
principle from the British law.
The committee id not meet To-day
but will resume writing the bill on Mon
day.
