"VAMPS" WHO
MADE HISTORY
FROM PALACE TO GUTTER AND
BACK AGAIN.
By JAMES c. YOUNG

"HE story Of Blanca Capella might
L well be called 1.-The Face at the
Window She was born in 1913.
daughter of a great Venetian noble.
And no girl ever had a more alluring
future. But love interfered n h
ran away with a poor bank clerk to
his home in Florence. He had old her
that his parents belonged to the gen
try. Instead, she found them living in
a miserable Stun.
Blanca soon became celebrated as
the flower of the Florence Sums. One
day she was sitting at the window
when Francesca de Medici CHANGED by.
He saw her lovely face and the next
day she was summoned to court.
Francesca was the son of the grand
duke, and soon her slave. She had
sickened of the bank clerk husband
and the trials of poverty.
Francesco's father died and he be-
came grand duke. Now Blanca saw
her chance to a place beside him. A
child was borrowed and presented to
Francesca by Blanca as his own.
Then, to conceal her plot, the real
mother was slain. A waiting woman
who knew of 1t was carried to a
mountain pass and left there for dead.
But adherents of Francesco's brother
found this woman and heard her story
before she died. The brother was a
cardinal and Jealous of Bianca's rise
to power. In some way she learned
that the cardinal knew her secret, and
boldly confessed it to the grand duke.
francesca, infatuated, forgaye her
and insisted on treating the child as
If it really had been his own. But
Bianca's troubles were only multiply
ing, for Francesco's wife bore him
a son when all hope of his having an
heir seemed lost. 1t looked as II
Bianca's day was over. But she left
Florence a year, then returned in
greater favor than before. And soon
the duchess died, her young son fol
lowing her shortly afterward. There
were hints of poison at Bianca's in
stigation. However that may have
been, the duke married her within
two months. The child first given TO
Francesca as an heir was legitimatized
and 1t appeared that an unknown
Founding would some day rule
Florence. But Blanca still had one i'm
placable enemy, the Cardinal de
Medici. In an effort to make friends
she invited him to a great feast and
merry-making. Just what happened
may never be known. Some historians
say that Blanca had prepared a
poisoned tart for the cardinal, but
that he substituted it for another tart,
Imprisoned, and it vas served to the
duke. When Blanca saw her husband
in deadly agony, it Is said she real
lied what had happened and ate the
other half of the poisoned dainty.
Both were soon dead and Bianca's en-
envy had won.

.SMOOT PROPOSES
3 PCT. SALES TAXI
Offers Single Manufacturers
Levy as Substitute for
Various War Revenues.

A manufacturers sales tax of 8 per
cent was formally proposed to the
S late today by Senator Smoot, re-
publican, Utah.
The senator explained that this
would be in substitution for "all of
the various war taxes. the excise
taxes, luxury taxes. stamp taxes.
capital stock tax. transportation. tele-
graph and insurance taxes. the taxes
on soft drinks, ice cream, cosmetics,
admissions and dues, and all the
other "ffty-seven varieties of OBJ
noxieus. discriminatory forms of
taxation" which would be repealed
on next January 1 under series of
amendments to the revenue revision
bill offered by the senator.
Repeal of the excess profits tax as
OF last January !, instead of on next
January l. as planned by both the
,, House and the Senate finance COM
mittee also. was proposed by Senator
Smoot. Under his amendment the
corporation income tax would re-
main at 10 per cent. but there would
be no change in the presentn tobacco,
! liquor and inheritance taxes.
. Outline of Amendment.
The sales tax amendment reads:
'That IN addition to all other taxes there
shall be levied, assessed, collected and
paid upon every commodity manufac-
tured, or produced, when sold, leased or
licensed for consumption or use with
out further process of manufacture, a
tax equivalent to per cent of the price
for which such commodity Is sold. leased
or licensed, such tax to be paid by the
manufacturer or producer.
1T should be noted" said Senator
Smoot, that as the tax is imposed only
when articles are sold for consumption
or use without further process of manu-
facture' that the tax will be nom -cumu-
lative in effect and will give the in-
I tegrated business no advantage over the
disintergrated business. There will be
but one tax. II commodity Is sold for
consumption or use in a further process
of manufacture no tax will be imposed.
For example. crude oil sold for fuel
would be taxable, but il sold to a re-
finery for the making Of gasoline. or
like commodities would not be taxable.
Provides for Exemption.
i. "In order to avoid administrative
difficulties with small sales, the bill
provides for an exemption of all sales
of less than $4,000 during one year.
This will exclude about / per cent OF
the manufactured goods in the coun-
try. according to the census Of manu-
all the agricultural products, since
the average value of products OF
farms for this year has been estimat-
ed by the Department of Agriculture
at between $1,000 and $4,000. but as
most agricultural products would find
their way into manufactured products,
they would be exempt anyway under
