Telegram. y On account of the de-
cision OF the supreme court in the
stock dividends case, the govern
mcnt is lkclyIto be obliged to pay
back to those who have received
stock dividends and had paid taxes
thereon as part of their income
something around $f00,000,000.
To offse. this loss to the treasury.
members OF congress have been
icverishly working on bills that
would act as setoff to the loss,
Congressman Green of Iowa being
among the first to present a bill
looking to relief from the existing
situation
In explaining the provisions of his
bill, introduced Monday, Judge
Green said:
"rhe present. method of taxation
having been held invalid many large
corporations are now getting ready
to "cut the melon" and issue such
stock in very much larger amounts
than ever before. Some immediate
action must be taken to prevent a
great loss to the government in
taxes. My bill makes the issuance
Of stock dividends Improbable by
the levy OF an excise tax upon the
privilege. Tie rate fixed in the bill
is IS per ceut on the face value OF
the certificate to be paid by the
corporation. ST.
This figure is merely tentative,
the intent being to make this tax
practically prohibitive and if, upon
getting information from the Treas
ury department. it Should be found
that the percentage is too low, l
have no doubt congress will raise
the rate"

Simple Way To
End Dandruff

There is one sure way that has
never failed to remove dandruff at
once, and that is to dissolve it, then
you destroy it entirely. To do this,
just get about four ounces of plain,
common liquid arvon from any drug
store (this is all you will need) ap-
ply it at night when retiring; use
enough to moisten the scalp and rub
it in gently with the finger tips.
By morning most, if not all, Of
your dandruff will be gone, and
three or four more applications will
completely dissolve and entirely de-
stroy every single sign and trace Of
it, no matter how much dandruff
you may have.
You will find all itching and dig
ging of the scalp will stop instantly
and your hair will be fluffy, lus-
trous, glossy, silky and soft, and
look and feel hundred times bet
ter.

talk on "The New Business" at the
meeting OF the Advertising Selling
league in the Hotel Fontenelle last
night.
"The business men of America
should apply their Sunday ethics on

They should not leave the ethics
Of the family entirely in the name
OF their wives. No churches Of any
religion could be run without busi-

they depended on the men for con-
gregatior"
Rabbi Bernstein urged that the
American people, commonly divided
into two classes, capital and labor,
get closer .cgether. The interests OF
both are mutual and compulsory ar

should not be necessary to affect
an understanding, he declared. :,

which is causing other state officials
much embarrassment. Beach's sal
ary was raised $50 by the code law.
He has returned this amount to the
state treasury, declaring he does not
wish 70 profit by law which the
court says is imperative. Other
officials. whose salaries were raised
hundreds of dollars, where Beach's
was advanced $50, are hurrahing
over his happy thought.
The governors statement follows:

states business, we shall of course

Sport Hats to Match.
Sport hats to match sweaters are
on display in great profusion. A
marked Chinese influence predom-
mates many hat displays. 1t is re-
hected in hats Of Aztec, dandelion
and brown tones. The jade green,
henna aud Aztec bpbwn promise to
be popular colors both in hats and
sweaters.
Fascinatingly colored sweaters,
some Peacock blue, some rose. gold,
orchid and others in the new jade
green form bright spots in the
spring displays. New is the silk
sweater with the surplice ends which
encircle the waist and tie in bow
at the back.
And wonders will never cease
hats to match these sweaters are on
display at prices ranging from $40
to $40. OF course there Is millinery
that is priced much higher, but these
moderate priced sport hats occupy
the most prominent positions in the
displays.
TurAan Harem Hats.
In the most expensive hats the
glistening liseries. slipper straws, pat
cnt leather and glittering cello
phane, with abruptly upturned brims
and brilliant trimmings, are found.
Picture hats are developed of horse
hair and malines. Typical sport hats
arc felt and ribbon modes, most al
Turing, especially in jade.
Almost irresistible is the turban
llarem hat OF English milan. jet
beads and chantilly lace, which is
featured in one large display. The
hat fairly exhuines an atmosphere
of the orient. of springtime and the
sweet perfumes of tropical foliage.
Its price is fabulous, OF course.
Springtime, with its blue skies.
golden sunshine and glad spirit of
awakening life is also reflected i'll
the spring frocks on display. Per-
haps colors, were never SO high, and
designs so elaborate as this spring.
Georgette Crepe Predominates.-
Georgette crepe as a basis for
frocks seems to be one of the out
standing features of several ex-
liibits. There are frocks trimmed
with cloth of gold and cloth of sill
yer. and there are frocks trimmed
with patterns, grotesque, at times,
outlined with beads.
The suits of navy blue still pre-
dominate. Embroidery, braiding and
fringes allowed few suits to escape
without their distinctive touches.
