can make her way a half square to
the church house she finds waiting
for her a portion of the assembled
congregation, eager to hear from her
the words which even in ordinary
conversation seem to flow from a
Christian heart.
A special easy chair always handy

SENATE DEMOCRATS
RENEW FIGHT FOR
CORPORATION TAX

WASHINGTON, Oct. 81. Senate
Democrats today renewed the fight for
a greater tax on corporations after this
calendar year than is proposed by the
compromise revenue revision program
agreed upon by Republican leaders.
Having been defeated in their efforts
to keep at least a portion of the excess
profits tax after next Dec. 81, the
minority apparently were more deter
mined than ever in pushing proposals
for corporation income tax provision
which would bring a greater return to
the government than would be realized
from the 15 per cent rate proposed in
the bill
Majority leaders believed, however,
that they had sufficient votes to put
through the fifteen per cent provision.
The Senate worked today under a
unanimous consent agreement that be-
fore recess it would dispose of all the
amendments to the corporation income
tax section, except that by Senator
Walsh, Democrat, Massachusetts, pro-
posing a graduated tax of 1212 to 20
per cent dependent on the size OF the
net profits of the corporation.
The maximum rate would apply on
all of that part of net income in ex-
cess of 100000 General debate on
! this section of the bill was to end at
four D. m Amendments would then
be in order with the sponsors given
| five minutes each to explain their pro-
posed changes.
Hope for Agreement
| Republican leaders hoped to reach
soon another unanimous agreement
with the Democrats with view to
i speeding up action on the bill. With
| the disposition of the corporation tax
question the only important contro
versial features remaining will be the
inheritance tax. proposed tax on un
! distributed profits of corporations and
the Smoot manufacturers sales tax
| In view of this those in charge o1
the tax bill felt confident that the
measure would be brought to a vote
by the end of this week. Some Demo
] Gratis also thought this was possible
but admittedly there were elements
in the situation which might operate
to bring about a change.
Spokesman on the majority side in
sisted, however, that if necessary the,
were prepared to put through thei
program to force a continuous ses
sion of the senate until final vot'
was reached.

Becky Wells, Beautiful Madcap, Well.
Known Character During the
Reign of George III.

Becky Wells. beautiful English act
ress, journalist and author, was born
in 1853, married at eighteen, and a
few months later saw her husband de-
sert her for her bridesmaid. She
went to London and won success by
her beauty when she went on the
stage. She took up with Edward Top
ham, an eccentric, and they estab-
lished newspaper that thrived ON
scandal.
Becky took to wearing furs In sum-
mer and muslins In winter, which per-
haps stamps her as woman in adj
vance of her age. She hired hackney
coaches to drive her to Oxford or
Cambridge for her health, and her
vagaries were the talk of the town.
She imagined that she was irresisti-
Bile and took it into her head to in
fatuate George III, the dull king
whose only redeeming virtue was his
apparent faithfulness to his wife. She
was thrown into Jail by her creditors,
and there she infatuated Moor, son
of the prime minister of Morocco, who
had been sent to prison for contempt
of court. They were welded in jail
with festivities that lasted a week and
which cost the bridegroom $500. Her
husband, Joseph Sumbel, then secured
his release by paying his brother $780,
600 and he also paid Becky's creditors
and took her with him.
