gress Ends
Washington, Nov. % THE Senate fl
nance committee tonight completed re-
vision of the war revenue bill designed
to raise six billions of dollars in taxes
in 1919 and about four billions in 1920
The measure. virtually rewritten to
meet changed conditions attending the
end of the war. now goes to the printer
and will be reported to the Senate next
week. probably on Thursday.
Senator Simmons said tonight, may
begin the following Saturday or Mon
day. With Republicans lined up solidly
in opposition to inclusion OF 1920 tax
rates in the bill it was conceded in all
quarters that discussion in the Senate
would delay passage of the measure and
many sources expressed doubt that it
could be enacted before March. the date
of the ending of this. the final session
of the 65th Congress.
In view of the expected delay Senate
leaders and treasury department off
Gals alike are concerned over the col
lecting taxes next year. as it is admit
ted that unless the new law is enacted
before January I collections must be
made under the present revenue bill.

billions of dollars. Several expedients.

ures Of the pending BILL are under con-
sidera ton.
In completing the bill today the f.
nance committee adopted an amendment
establishing new second class postage
rates, effective when the revenue bill
becomes a law. 1t provides for the re-
peal of the present graduated zone rates
on newspapers, magazines and other
periodicals. and substitutes a rate #
one cent per pound within area of 800
miles from mailing points and l. cents
a pound outside that area.
The committee also adopted another
amendment for restoration on July /.
1919, of the two cents an ounce rate
on letters and one cent on post cards
Some senators believe the second
class postal rate amendment will be
vigorously opposed BY publishers who
have disapproved any zone system of
postal rates as unjust and discrimina-
tory Long debate on the subject in the
Senate is now anticipated. Another
amendment adopted today and expected
to cause much debate imposes tax of
10 per cent on products of child labor
which are transported in isterstate
commerce. The amendment is designed

supreme court, under which products
of child labor were barred from inter-

WILL FORCE MAIL
ORDER FIRMS TO

Washington, Aug. 6.-Mail order
houses which do an interstate bust
ness were requested by the food ad-
ministration today to send into 9TH
er states only such amounts OF su-
gar as residents of those states are
permitted by local food admInlstra-
tors to purchase.
Mail order houses heretofore have
been taking orders for 25-pound
quantities of sugar for home can
ming, regardless of the state from
which they come or whether there
is a real need for sugar for can
ming in that state. In some cases
out of regard for fruit crop condi-
lions or for other reasons, sales OF
canning sugar have been restricted
to 10 or Is pounds at single pur-
chase A resident of one of these
states in ordering % pounds at

Curtainling of PrOduct-Meet

every other day" is the burden OF
a motion put and adopted by a
body of women meeting yesterday
afternoon, assembled at the Y. W.
c. A. at the call of the local wO-
mans committee council of ma
tional defense.
The meeting was called for the
purpose OF discussing informally
pro and con the ice situation as it
applies to Rock Island and to ar
rive if possible at some solution
Of the trouble that has arisen here
with reference to ice delivery as
well as prices asked for the pro-
duct. The fact was brought out
that almost without exception ice
boxes are far too small to hold
enough ice to last from Friday to
Monday, the plan of delivery re
Gently adopted by ice dealers, with
the result that food cannot be pre-
served properly. The fact was
also brought out that the govern
ment is calling upon the women of
the land to engage actively in a
child welfare campaign and the
state of Illinois has asked its wo-
men to save the lives of 5000 chill
dren in the state in the next year.
This work is to be taken up &C
lively in Rock Island with the
opening of the fall school term
when every effort will be put for
ward to preserve the health and
of oh hn
que that this effort on their part
is useless unless the mothers of
the children can procure sufti-
Cient ice to preserve the milk and
food for the babies and small chill
dren. 1t is these who suffer most
as a result of the three days de-
livery plan, therefore the women
argue the plan is unpatriOic and
SOM definite action should be tax
en- to remedy it.
Investigate Trouble.
Investigations conducted by the
women reveal the fact that there
is sufficient ice to meet all de-
mands. but that the trouble may
be laid largely to the shortage OF
labor in delivering the product.
However, the fact was also brought
out that daily delivery of ice is
conducted in both Davenport and
Moline, and they question the lack
of labor here where drivers OF
wagons receive as high as $50 i
week in wages.
The subject of charges for ice
was also discussed informally, but
this phase Of the situation will be
taken up more in detail this even
ing when the women viii m eet

companies of the city at the Rock

her parents home at S:45 last
night of burns and shock sustained
yesterday morning.
Although every effort was made
to save her life. death followed after
she had suffered throughout the
day.
The child with some neighbor
children, was in the next yeard, and
in some way, while playing with
matches. her dress became ignited.
Screaming, she ran toward her
home, at every step the flames in
creasing around her body.
Frank Skinner, a painter work
ing near by, heard the screams and
ran in the direction from which
they came. Seeing the child en-
Neloped in flames he threw her to
the ground and rolled her on the
grass. He extinguished the flames,
at the same time burning his arms
and hands badly.
The child was removed to her
home and medical attention given
her. The time between the hour
when she was burned and her death
was one of terror and agony for the
little one.

Home Service

H !
In this country, day by day the or
ganization of the Red Cross grows
more efficient. More than three hun
dred thousand families of American
men in service have been relieved by
the Home Service, Of money troubles,
legal difficulties, family worries, and
depressing loneliness. Into remote
communities, where there has never
been organized social effort before,
this branch of Red Cross activities is
extending. More than fifty thousand
men and women are serving on its
ten thousand committees. By Janu-
ary /, total of nearly six million
dollars will have been spent, and the
monthly burden will be approximately
a million dollars. Two thousand men
and women are serving as secretaries
in this work, which has developed to
such proportions that nearly thous-
and communications daily pass be-
tween the Red Cross headquarters in
Washington and the American army
in France, seeking to allay the de-
preston and worry Of the soldiers
abroad and to solve the problems of
the families left behind in this coun-
try.
This is the true spirit Of the Red
Cross and of America itself in action.
AT the annual meeting of the Me-
dina County Chapter, it was decided
to divide the Secretary's duties; paid
secretary taking over part Of the
work in connection with Civilian Re-
lief. Miss Minnie Wells has been
appointed to this office and is now in
Cleveland taking the training which
Red Cross demands Of its Home Ser
| vice workers.
