It is unlikely that any early action

said in brokerage circles yesterday.
The authority to increase the stock, it
was said in these quarters, is merely
to provide for general requirements Of

understood that the past policy Of the

D. c. Milliners Declare the

ToDecrease.

Despite the announcement by

America. at the recent fashion
show in New York. that millinery
would be less expensive this fall.
d. C. milliners yesterday indicated
this drop in the cost OF milady's
headwear would not hit Washing
ton.
Many Washington milliners who
have already returned from New
York and Paris with fall purchases
declare that, although in several
cases material is becoming cheaper,
labor is as high as ever and, for
that reason, hats are going to be
expensive this fall.
Z. 1. Shenton said that the strike
by the milliners in New York for
seventeen weeks. last year, delayed
output to such an extent that the
demand is greater than the supply.
What we need to make the
prices of millinery drop this year.

|JUMBLE FOUND
I'm TAX RETURNS
Auditors Say Mistakes Have
Delayed 1917 State
mentS.

An extraordinary condition with
respect to the income tax prevails
in the Internal Revenue Bureau.
Owing to the scarcity of competent
auditors the returns from 1917 are
not yet completely audited. but such
glaring mistakes are found in the
income tax statements that more
than s4o.oo0,oo0 a month is being
collected in back taxes
Economists say that IL a genuine
audit is conducted by the Internal
Revenue Bureau of all the returns
throughout the war period = and
that is the intention of the present
administration-tha not less than
$500. .ooo.ooo will be collected in
back taxes in the near three years.
Many corporations in their returns
gave themselves the benefit of every
doubt and took a chance" on many
matters of law and finance because
they thought they would put the
questions squarely up to the Inter
nal Revenue Bureau rather than de-
eide them themselves. The result
is that perhaps three years from
now many corporations will be
called upon to pay large additional
sums owing to mistakes in their re-
turns for the fiscal year 1920.
The question then will arise: Will
the corporations be in shape to pay
these vast sums in back taxes?
Many economists believe that they
will not be and that a great cam
paign will be opened for amnesty
for income tax dodgers. They say
II will be made a political issue.
