seas and again come TO wreck then
another jewel is added to indicate the
second divorce. and so on.

Representative Andrews has in- troduced a bill to direct the Treas ury Department to call for a refund of the principal with interest at per cent from the date of the loans Andrews said this would yield $124,000,O00.
 Reject Sales Tax. The proposal to finance the sol diers bonus by a sales tax is under stood to have been rejected early this afternoon by the special sub committee of the Republican mem- bers of the House Ways and Means Committee.
 The sales tax Is understood to have been supported only by Rep resentative Longworth of Ohio, Wat son of Pennsylvania, and Bacharach of New Jersey.
 The proposals gwill probably be brought up again late today at the meeting of the majority members of the Ways and Means Committee.
