NO RELIEF FOR J. s.
 IN ECONOMY DRIVE
Government Will Spend Less, But It's Revenues Also Will Be Much Less Because of Busi-
 ness Depression.

Washington, July 6.--In spite of the strenuous administration drive Tor economy thru efforts to make the hudget system "'mean something, thene will be no drastic tax cut this wear if any at all. The taxpayer should keep that in mind when he reads with delight the long and ire uuent stories about how economy IS at least a popular subject in Wash ington.
 It isn't cheerful news, perhaps put it is the truth of the situation.
 Figure as they may, the leaders of the fiscal program cant eke out any substantial tax change. There will be a substantial drop in government expenses due to many causes, manly inc falling off in hangover war set dement's of vast size. Yet this IS eaten up at once by the substantial arop in tax receipts due to lessened business and vastly decreased ln- comes It works out to leave the schedules where they were.
 Even at this late day when the ae- tual writing of the new revenue blil in committee will soon start, there isn't much more in sight than a re- peal of the excess profits tax and the substitution of an increased corpora ton tax rate Of 5 per cent to make It up. Possibly the higher brackets ot fhe surtax on incomes may be low cred but that is problematical.
 The Republicans today are schem- ing and figuring how to do this with out imposing any new tax change save the increased corporation rate. n the soldiers bonus bill passes, as it probably will, it will mean a tax increase, not decrease. There IS no escaping that

He agrees with Senator Shoot of Utah, the Senate's "bookkeeper,' that those sides politically, the two senators, probably possessing broader grasp and mere complete knowledge of government finance .han any of their rolleages. have reached common conclusion.
 "How are you going to reduce the taxes ?" Senator Glass demanded to- day. "The government. is spending [ billion dollars year. That money has to come from taxation. How can you reduce taxes until the govern ment cuts expenditures

BIG COMPANY SETS . STYLES FOR GIRLS
Self-Made Blondes and BObbed Hair
  MaIdenS Are barred rum Ai" pIoyment in Aetna Insurance
 Offices.

Hartford, Conn.,, July S.-Extem- poraneous blondes and girls with bobbed hair have no place in Ameri- can business life, F. K. Daniels, pres ident of the Aetna Insurance Com pany, employing 5000 women turnout the country, said today. The com- pany recently issued mandate that no more artificial blondes or bobbed heads would be employed, and that employees already in either category would have to get back to normalcy as rapidly as possible.
 Artificial blonde hair is sign of light headedness," Daniels declared. "Blondity is a mark of lack of intel ligence. If any more bobbed haired girls or blondes get into our offices they will have to crawl thru the key hole.
 "There are some in this office now but we are going to get rid of all of them as soon as possible. Of course, we can't make any set rule but we have advised these girls to drop all artiticiality at once.
 "The Swedish blonde is very pretty even if she bobs her tresses, and she is diligent, faithful and studious. 1t is the brunettes who use peroxide who get me. Business researches have proved that 90 per cent of blondes are useless. Some say they have cut their hair to avoid the heat, but l can tell you there is a hotter place wait ing for them.
 My idea of a business woman is one who has had two or three years of college work, does not powder her nose, does not watch the clock, does not rouge her cheeks and does not smoke cigarettes.
 "I can tolerate the woman who lays aside her corset. That is comfort. But it is carrying comfort too far to bare ones self in bobbed hair. think the movies are responsible for girls doing this.

 "The levity of American women regarding dress and appearances as tonishes me-" he said. "It is evi. dence of the moral laxity of the pres, ent age. Bare legs and blonde: should be eliminated"

COAL DUST A MOTOR FUEL?
Cars Built of Cotton Composition
 Possibility. Babson Says.

Chicago, July 6.--Motor cars built of composition of cotton and operated with coal dust for fuel are possi- pility of the future, according to Roger Babson, statistican. who is vie w ting here.
 The principal factor in the decline of the motor car business has been the steady increase in the price of gasoline" Mir. Babson said. "The car of the future will be run by other 1uei, already the use of coal dust has passed the experimental stage. in mv opinion, 1t will be used extensivelv within short time.v
 Lighter cars must be manufac- tured to cut down the cost of nrodac- ton and maintenance. A composition of cotton, formaldehyde and glue ia being used to produce a material that may solve the problem"
