New York. July 23.-Any summer afternoon should feel fiattered by the appearance of this effective frock un- der its sunny sky.
 It is cream -colored voi1e-very fine voile to be sure, and it is embroidered in soft brown, regular wood shade, with just an occasional thread of rus set green. Silk of the same two shades along with the embroidered motifs are involved in making the belt.
 A cream Georgette hat, trimmed with the wood-colored taffeta, is worn with this frock, and it's all al- luringly cool looking and very very smart, even to the sleeve ribbons.

That those who fought were poorly paid.
compared with those who stayed at home.
and that il is not charity nor reward they
seek, but only help in readjusting them
selves to present conditions were points
strongly emphasized by the speakers at
the bonus hearing in the Maryland Senate
chamber recently.
The hearing was on the Eppler- Webb
bill before the Finance and Ways and
Means Committees.
All the speakers emphasized the fact
that the soldiers had been poorly paid in
comparison with those who stayed at
home that in general the soldiers in
France did not average as much at $40 a
month clear of insurance, allowances and
so on: that many Of them were having a
very hard time getting along after their
return. many still wearing their army over
coats. and that the bonus was not by way
Of reward or charity but merely to help
the men readjust themselves to the changed
economic conditions and as mark Of ap-
probation from the State for the services
rendered
The Eppler-Webb bill carries a referen-
DUN. and the advocates Of the bill want
to test the sentiment Of the people Of
Maryland on the subject.

Article Ten Must Stand Unaitered

Article Ten Must Stand Unaitered.
President Wilson restated for Demo-
cratic Senators on Monday his opposition
to any peace treaty reservations which
would weaken the force Of Article X or
otherwise materially impair the provisions
OF the League covenant
Without saying specifically what quail
fications he would or would not accept, he
wrote in a letter to Senator Hitchcock, the
Administration leader. that almost all of
the reservations he had heard suggested
were "in effect virtual notifications" of
the treaty articles to which they applied.
Il hear Of reservationists and mild res
ervationists," the letter added, but can
not understand the difference between a
nullifer and a mild nuliher."
Discussing Article particularly. the
President wrote that there was no escap-
ing the normal obligations which are ex-
pressed in positive terms in this article.
though there could be no objection to ex-
planning in an Interpretation the constitu-
tional methods by which such an obliga-
tion would have to be fulfilled The very
heart" Of the covenant, he reiterated. would
be imperilled by weakening Article X.
The Presidents letter was written in re-
Spouse to request that he confer with
Senator Simmons, Of North Carolina. in
charge for the Democratic side Of the Sen
ate in current negotiations for conpro-
mise.

Frees Stock Dividends From In.
come Tax Law.

Corporation dividends distributed in the
form OF stock do not constitute income"
and consequently are not subject to Fed
eral income taxes. the Supreme Court de-
cided last Monday in a five to four decision.
Provisions of the 1916 Federal Income
Tax law levyine taxes on stock dividends
were declared unconstitutional The de-
cision also nullifed similar provisions Of the
present law and will involve great loss in
revenues to the Government in future col
lections and also refunds Of such taxes
already collected. Large financial inter-
ests likewise will be affected and numerous
stock dividends Of generous proportions
are expected to be declared soon
In the majority decision, read by JUS
tice Pitney, Chief Justice White and Jus
tees McKenna. Van Devanter and Mickey
nolds concurred. OF the four dissenting
members of the Court, Justice Holmes read
brief opinion, in which he was joined by
Justice Day, and Justice Brandeis deliv-
cred lengthy opinion. in which Justice
Clarke concurred.
In holding that stock distributions are not
dividends, on account Of no separation of
corporate assets being involved, Justice
Pitney, in behalf of the Majority. declared
that stock shares ARE nothing except
paper certificates" in undistributed assets.
are not realized profits and. therefore, are
not taxable.
The attempt of Congress in the income
tax law to tax stock distributions. the ma
jority decided to be unconstitutional and
not permitted by the Sixteenth Tor income
tax) Amendment to the Federal C nstitu-
ton. Stock dividends, the majority held.
may be taxed only after stockholders realize
upon them by sale. in which case the Gov
eminent may levy income taxes on such
profits.
All four dissenting Justices commended
that Congress had power to tax stock divi-
dends. holding that such dividends are
Income" the same as II In cash. The
Sixteenth Amendment, the minority de-
clared. is broad enough to justify the tax.
Representative Hull. Democrat Tonnes
see, author Of the income tax law, declared
that the decision mot only destroys the
last vestiee Of Congressional power to tax
stock dividends. but also annuls the pres
ent law for taxation Of personal service
corporation" in which individual
service is the chief factor.
THE effect" said Mr.. Hull. lis that any
group Of individuals may form artificial
entities and screen themselves and avoid a
large amount Of their just and fair taxa
tiOn."
EMISSIONS to the annual extent Of hun
dreds Of millions Of dollars Representa-
tive Hull predicted. would be possible and
large war profits also would escape taxa
ton.

by the Motor Commissioner. unless the
