representations of a complete collapse of

conference leaders.

Poll Of Majority in House Reveals
Sentiment to Ignore Means
for Raising Revenue.
SALES LEVY REJECTED
Both Opponents and Proponents OF
Sales Tax Much Surprised at Re-
suit Of Vote--Both Sides Had
Claimed Victory.

Observation-Disclosures seven to
two a proposition to pay the soldier
bonus by means OF a sales tax, the
special subcommittee of Republican
members OF the House ways and
can committee was understood to
have gone on record, five to four, in
favor Of reporting out an adjusted
compensation bill without any provi-
sion for raising the revenue.
The subcommittee reported to the
entire majority membership of the
committee later in the day, but a de-.
cision was deferred, adjournment be.
Ing taken SO as to give committeeman
not members of the subcommittee
time to study the whole matter. Some
Of those protesting to have sounded
sentiment among the majority mem
bers were OF the opinion hat unless
there were unforeseen developments
the action Of the subcommittee prob
ably would be ratified.
Aside from the ballots on the sales
tax and a bill without a revenue pro-
vision, there were said to have been
several other votes in the sub-com-
mittee. 1t was learned that a motion
TO report a bill carrying only an in
surance provision was defeated 6 to 2.
Both proponents and opponents of
the sales tax appeared to be surprised
by the vote on that proposition. Both
sides had been claiming a victory
with each seemingly expecting a fairly
close vote. Representative Long
worth OF Ohio, and Bacharach of New
Jersey, were said to have been the
only members voting for a sales tax,
although Representative Watson Of
Pennsylvania said he was in favor of
a sales tax If a bill carrying other
than an insurance feature were voted
out.

Superstition Among French pesu

Superstition Among French People.
That superstition and belief in
witchcraft and sorcery are not dead
In France was shown the other day
In the case of a young Partisan girl,
who, acting on the advice Of a fortune
teller, buried a calls heart In a wom-
ans grave E order to the az
lection Of her faithless lover.
In the provinces such cases are
common. There are villagers who are
popularity believed to cast spells over
their neighbors; magicians and sor-
cerers IN the back valleys Of the
Loire and On the lonely Landes Of
Brittany whs WELD mysterious power
and call UP unseen forces Of good or
evil to sosth or terrorize the peas

Frequently French superstition finds
comfort In "good spirits in the form
Of magicians who are learned In the
art of discovering buried treasure or
Of healing the sick. They are reputed
to hold ' with the spirits of
the departed and are consulted by
their neighbors on family affairs like
Wills or marriages just as the Oracles
were consulted In ancient times.
