Last week the President let 1t be
known that he wished congress to go
ahead with its legislative program
without thought Of an early adjourn
nent. There had been some anxiety
In Washington lest the deliberations
Of the conference on limitation of
ornaments might be disturbed by the
doings of congress if it were in session
after November IL. but Mr.. Harding
Is not at all worried by this. The tax
bill Is holding up all business in the
senate except the treaties and the
canal tolls bill. The treaties are to
be voted on October IA and the canal
comes to a vote N October
10. If President H%arding's preference
is considered, the tariff bill will be
taken up before adjournment, though
many members of congress seem will
ing that it should go over to the next
session.

Hungary, warned by the allies,
agreed to withdraw entirely from
Burgenland, the strip awarded to Aus
tria by the treaty of Trianon. The
trouble there, however, may not be
ended, for the Hungarian government
admittedly has lost control over the
irregular troops that are holding a
part of the territory and that so far
have refused to get out.

commended. In every country visited,
avs the committee, the opinion was
expressed that western and central
Europe cannot be restored to condi-
tons that approximate normal with

sions of the committee, which should
be especially grateful to French ears,
are:
1.-THE United States and the allies

"There should be formed an inter.

the matter of the allied debts broug'
up at all at the parley. He believe
1t can be better settled In other ways
and that the conference will nave
enough to do In considering the ques

now stands. He is extremely de
sirous that something big be accom-
plished In the reduction of armamentN

Changes in Tax Bill Proposed
By the Democrats and the
"Agrarian Bloc"
GENERAL WOOD IS RETIRED
President Asks Local Cooperation in
Relieving Unemployment Conditions
-Premiers BRAND and Lloyd
George May Attend the Great
Conference In Washington.
BY EDWARD W. PtckARp.

The peril that resides in overwhelm-
ing majorities, always recognized by
politicians, is being demonstrated
again to the Republicans In congress
In the case of the tax bill. The senate
Republicans have been split up into
several groups that so far have been
unable to agree on the changes to be
made in the measure as passed by the
house, and the Democratic minority,
consequently, is hopeful of carrying
out its program. The main features
of this are:
A higher surtax rate than 80 per
cent to affect incomes in excess OF
100000.
A graduated corporation income tax
In place of the proposed 10 per cent
rate.
Retention of the corporation capital
stock tax.
Repeal of the freight, passenger and
Pullman transportation taxes and of
the $4,000 exemption allowed to cor
porations.
Decreased normal income tax rates
on incomes of $4,000 or less.
Senators Mccormick, Capper, Len
root and others of the so called
agrarian bloc, together with a number
of other Republicans, have been work
ing hard to devise a program that VIII
be acceptable to a majority of the
senate, and the one they have drawn
up tentatively includes the following
changes:
A graduated corporation income
tax instead of a flat tax as a substi-
tute for the excess profits tax
Further reduction in the lower sur
tax rates on individual incomes, but
an increase from the 80 per cent maxi
mum in the bill to so per cent. which
represents a compromise between the
proposed maximum and the rate of
s. per cent present law.
Retention of the corporation cap
itaI stock tax which is repealed in the
senate committee bill.
An increase in the higher rates Of
estate taxes.
Repeal of the taxes on freight, pas
senger, and express transportation.
Senator Smoot of Utah and a few
others are advocating a 8 per cent
production or manufacturers sales
tax, but the group above mentioned
Is opposed to this, and so is Repre-
sentative Mondell, Republican leader
of the house, who, after a conference
with President Harding, asserted there
was no chance that the house WOULD
accept anything of the nature of a
general sales tax.

Enameled-irOn sinks are smooth,

SUPERIOR QUALITIES
OF HOMEMADE BREAD
Most Appetizing of Foods When
One Is Hungry.
Loaf Should Ee Light In Weight Con-
sidering Its Size, Of Symmetrical
Form, With an Unbroken, Gold
en-BroWn Crust.

Good homemade bread Is about the
most appetizing of foods when one is
hungry. but there are many kinds of
homemade bread. Some is good, some
Is bad, and some Indifferent. Which
kind do you make? If you don't know.
judge 1t by the following description
Of a good loaf given by the home eco
nomics kitchen of the United States
Department Of Agriculture:
Good bread is porous and contains
q large number Of holes or cells, all
Of which are Of about the same size
and shape. It is better for some pa-
sons to think Of 1t as a mass of tiny
bubbles made Of -four and water and
hardened or fixed In shape by means
Of heat. This calls attention not only
to the size Of holes Or cells, but also
to the character Of walls of the cells.
which In good bread are always very
thin.
"A loaf of bread should be light in
weight, considering its size. and should
have a symmetrical form and an I'M
broken. golden-brown crust. The crust
should be smooth on top and should
have a certain lus:er. to which the
term "bloom" has been given.
The loaf as a whole. the crust and
the crumb, should be elastic. The
loaf, If pressed out Of shape, as 1t
often is when slices are cut from it.
should regain its form when the pres
sure is removed. Bits of the crust.
If bent a little between the fingers,
should show the same power to re-
bound. as should also the cut surface
Of the loaf if pressed.
The crumb should be creamy white
in color and should have a sheen"
which may be compared with the
bloom of the crust. This sheen can
best be see by looking across a slice
rather than directly down into 1t. The

strength, and labor in tire kitchen is
the sink. Yet many women are strug-
Cling along with none at all or, at
best. a poor and badly placed one.
The following suggestions in regard
to sinks are given by household spe-
cialists of the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture:
The size Of the family and of the
kitchen must determine the size of the
sink. but a short sink with ample
table and shelf room near it may be
more convenient than a long sink.
Two smaller sinks. one for the table
dishes near the dining room and the
other for general use In the kitchen.
are very convenient.
No Cracks or Square Corners.
The material should be the best
available, nOnabsOrbent Of grease as
well as Of moisture, and there should
be no cracks or square corners to in
crease the work of keeping 1t clean.
A wooden sink, even when it receives
an annual coat Of paint. will absorb
moisture and grease which attract In
sects, and Is likely to be swarming
with bacteria and to 'sour" and have
an unpleasant odor. Even d~rainbOards
Of wood are not recommended unless
they have a waterproof finish Of var
niSh. Oil, or paint. If a wooden sink
Is necessary, it is better to have it
metal lined, provided the sheets OF
metal, which Is usually tin, zinc, gal
vanized irCn, copper or lead, are
soldered where they are Joined and
all parts of the sink, including the
tops of the sides. are covered with the
metal, so that there is no chance for
the wood to absorb moisture. Another
plan is to have a cement sink built
into a wooden frame and lined with
sheet copper or tin.
Iron sinks of good quality are su-
perior to wooden ones. since they do
not absorb grease or moisture and are
durable. They are easily kept clean
If smooth {and they will soon wear
smoothly, but they have the disadvan-
tage of neither showing dirt nor pro-
claiming their cleanliness. Unless
the front is protected by a strip of
wood, the dresses and aprons Of the
worker are likely to become stained
with iron Eust.
A %soapstone or a slate sink is dur
able, but sometimes becomes uneven |
with wear, and if this happens much
