WAR REVENUE BILL
PASSED IN HOUSE
Rep. Kitchen Says Resolution
Will Be Offered to Eliminate
Luxury Tax

Washington, Feb. 9.-The war revenue
bill, under tn. terms of which it Is pro-
posed to raise S6O77. 600 in taxes in the
fiscal year ending June 30 1919 was
adopted by the House at 1896 o'clock Sat
urday evening by the overwhelming vote
Of $40 to II, with IL representatives vot-
ing present"
The measure will go to the Senate on
Monday and the almost unanimous action
by the House is taken as prediction
that the Senate will give its approval by
Monday night Senator Simmons, chair
man of the Senate finance committee,
has promised to urge speedy action.
Seven democrats and only four repub-
leans voted against the measure in the
House to day. They are:
Observation-Disclosures of Alabama.
Humphrey, Stevens. Venable and Sis
sons of Mississippi and Dies and Rayburn
of Texas.
Republcans-Dyer of Missouri. Langley
and Powers OF Kentucky and Sells of
Tennessee.
The opposition of southern congress-
men was said to be conferred on what
they held to be the unfarness of the
section placing prohibitive tax on
child labor. a motion offered by Repre-
sentative Venable to recommt the bill
to conference which was passed upon
before the final vote, was defeated, III
to Is, and after that the last attempt
to sidet. ack the measure was abandoned.
While the bill will not become law until
the signature of President Wilson Is
attached, the treasury department has
already made plans to place its machin-
cry for the collection of the taxes in
motion the moment that the senators
vote in the affirmative. The bill will
be placed before the President imme-
dately upon his return from France, and
there seems to be no ground for believ
ing that he will do otherwise than sign
1t.
From the minute that Chairman Kit
chin of the ways and means committee
began to make his statement of how the
bill had been framed, to the members of
the House at noon Saturday, it was a
foregone conclusion that the bill would
be approved. Mr.. Kitchn had the situa-
ton we'll in hand, and while he criti
cised certain sections of the bill with
sufficient ardor to satisfy those who. like
himself, felt that a larger taxation
should have been provided for and that
the so-caled big interests might escape
too lightly because of provisions inserted
by the Senate, he had enough good
words in behalf of the measure to make
1t certain that no spirit of opposition
could be organized which would actually
endanger favorable action.
The important announcement was made
to the House by Mr.. Kitchin that steps
had been taken to eliminate section 904
of the excise tax title from the bill
after 1t became law. by the pressing Of
a joint resolution for its repeal. This
section provides for a ten per cent tax
on sales Of what have been termed semi
luxuries, hats, shirts, etc, costing more
than a certain stated amount. Mr.. Kit
chin said the resolution would be pre-
sented before the date on which this tax
would become effective. and expressed
the hope that his co-workers in the House
would give their support.

Some such plan is necessary in the case
OF small poultry fiocks from which own
ers desire to collect sufficient eggs to fill
an incubator.
II possible. it is well to avoid Matching
brown-shelled eggs and white -shelled
eggs in the same incubator or under the
same hen, inasmuch as the former re-
quire from IL to "a hours longer to pro-
duce chicks, all other things being equal.
This Is due to the fact that the brown
egg has much thicker shell, consequent
ly more time is required for the heat to
penetrate 1t. However, all eegshells vary
in thickness, whether brown or white
which variation, in connection with the
variations in the ages of the eggs, are
likely to cause an uneven hatch.

Common-sense dictates that it is fool

inbred parent stock. Prime Matching
eggs are laid by fowls in prime condition.
Strong chicks are Matched from prime
eggs. These are natural laws from

try raiser should see to 1t that the par
