TAX ON SPIRITS is CUT;
BEER RATE TO STAND
Lower Rate on Distilled Liquors Will
Help Revenue, the Senators
Believe.

Washington, Oct. 9.-ReSuming re-
ate finance committee considered the
beverage sections and reduced the tax
of So q gallon on distilled spirits used
for beverage purposes as provided in
the house bill to $6.40 a gallon. The
doubled rates on beer and wine were
approved.
The present rate on spirits for bev-
erage purposes is $500 gallon, which
the committee established as the rate
for distilled spirits used for nOnbev-
erage purposes, such as manufacture
of perfumes and medicines, instead of
the $40 tax proposed by the house
on that class.
Reduction of the beverage rate from
So to $3.50 per gallon on distilled spir-
its, it was stated, is expected to stimu-
late both consumption and withdrawal
from bonded warehouses, and thereby
increase the $795,O00OOO which the
house proposed to raise from this
source.
The probable effect of the pending
national prohibition legislation was
considered, Chairman Simmons said,
in revising the intoxicating beverage
rates. Whether national prohibition.
lieved by the committee that the lower
rate on distilled beverages would in
crease federal revenues.

In reply to an inquiry from an
American firm as to the demand here
for lace goods and embroideries, it
can be stated, reports the American
consul at Yokohama, that as the Japa-
nese women cling very tenaciously to
their style of dress and as no use is
made Of lace or embroideries either in
their dress or home furnishings, it is
improbable that any considerable mar
ket can be developed in Japan for
American-made lace goods or embroid-
cries. The demand would be limited
to the foreign residents here, who now
number about 5000, exclusive of Chi
nese, and to such goods as are not be-
Ing manufactured in Japan.

USE LESS WHEAT.

The allied nations have made
further increased demands on
us for breadstuffs - demands
that Americans are obligated to
meet.
In the meantime Americas
meat supply has been greatly
increased for some months to
come by the unprecedented
shipping to market of hogs that
averaged 232 pounds each in
stead of 2O3 pounds-the nor
NAL.
The United States Food Ad-
ministration, endeavoring to ad.
just the international food bal
ance, promptly removed certain
restrictions in this country on
the use of meat and at the same
time asked for a smaller con.
sumption of breadstuffs.
We are asked to observe only
one meatless day each week
Tuesday. We will have larger
meat stocks for awhile. But
our bread ration must be held
to a minimum.
In altering its food cOnserva.
ton program the Food Admin
istration emphasizes that the
food situation is Of necessity,
subject to radical changes,
caused by crop conditions at
= home and abroad and by the
precarious transportation prob.
lem, both in overseas shipping
and in Americas overburdened
transportation system.
The Food Administration will
keep the American people fully
and frankly advised of each
change In the developing situa.
ton that they may know def.
nitely the part their food sac
s10ces play In the world war.
