Hopes to Make OF Connect

Organizing in 1909 with an attend
anco of sixteen people who were In
terested I'm the civic Improvement Of
an area OF but five squares In the
vicinity OF Chevy Chase Circle. the
Citi2ens' Association of Chevy Chase
y. c.. had within it's territory only
seventy people. Since the associa-
tion's organization its history has
heen one OF constant enlargement
absorbing the pinehurst Citizens' As
sociation. the Rock Creek Ford Ctti-
zens' Association and all of the Con-
necticut Avenue Citizens Association
north Of Albemarle street.
The association has constantly
various civic matters within its ter
ritory in so far as II was possible
without being selfish.
The restriction OF the business
zones along Connecticut avenue was
the result Of the work OF the asso-
ciatiDn, which succeeded In getting
the coming commission to change its
plans 10 allow the entire length of
Connecticut avenue To lie Il buSin as
section to the establishment OF "busi-
ness islands" at certain intervals.
Plans for "BouIevard Beautiful"
The general Identification Of Con-
necticut avenue so that il will be a
"houlevard beautiful Is the great
work that the association is trying
TO achieve. The paving from klingle
Ford bridge to the District line along
Connecticut avenue Is step in this
direction.
Through the efforts of the organi-
cation branch public library has
been established in the e V. Brown
school. This achievement was OBJ
tanned by public subscription and car
ried on In the same manner as the
Public Library had no funds to carry
out the work The library has now
been in operation for three years and
the Public Library supplies the books.
One of the most important things
that the association considers neces-
sary to the welfare of the community
coming within its territory is good
schools. and toward the educational
facilities for it's section the associa-
tion was instrumental in getting the

DECISION TO 0BR|NG
LARGE. E..TAx.REFU
Blair Holds Certain Corpora
tion Dividends Are Now
* Exempt.

The government will plan soon 10
refund millions Of dollars in taxes
following a decision by Commissioners
Of Internal Revenue Blair, holding
certain corporation dividends exempt
from taxation The refunds will
come from claims nled under an
amendment TO the tax regulations
covering distributions out Of earn
ings or profits by holding corpora
tions accumulated prior to March |.
1918.
The ruling reverscs the previous
practice of the bureau, which has
held that profits or earnings. turned
in by Il corporation to its holding or
uarcnt corporation. lost their identity
and. therefore. when distributed as
dividends were taxable as income.
Now. however, the bureau will trace
company through the holding cor
poration finally to the stock holner
whom. the decision holds. need not
pay tax on 1t.
Limitation is made. however, on the
distribution of such earnings by the
ruling which adds to the previous
regulation the following language:
whenever one corporation has re
ceived from another corporation dls-
tributions out OF earnings or prohts
accumulated by Surh otner corpora :
tion prior to March !. 1918. or out OF
increase in value Of it's PROPERTY ac-
crued prior to March |. l"la and the
receiving corporation. after having
first distributed all Of its earnings
and profits accumulated since Fehru-
.iry 2S, 1918. distributes to its stock
holders the amt,unt so received by II
from such other corporation, such
distributions are not dividends within
she meaning of the revenue act and
are exempt from tax.
High Treasury officials were unable
last night to estimate the number of
claims for refund, many of which
have been pending for several years
that will he made valid by the ruling
u was said that undoubtedly some OF
them would reSul: i'll full repayments,
while tho greater portion of those
now on file would require refunds to

ALKALI IN SOAP
BAD FOR THE HAIR

Soap should be used very carefully
IL you want to keep your hair looking
its best. Many soaps and prepared
shampoos contain too much free a
CALI. This dries the scalp, makes the
hair brittle. and ruins 1t.
The best thing for steady use is
Mulsified cocoanut oil shampoo
which is pure and greaselessl, and il
better than anything else you can
use.
Two or three teaspoonfuls Of Null
slfied in a cup or glass with a little
warm water is sufficient TO cleanse
the hair and scalp thoroughly. Simp-
ly moisten the hair with water and
rub the Mulsified in. 1t makes an
abundance of rich. reamy lather.
which rinses out easily. removing
every article of dust. dirt. dand-
ruff and excess oil. The hair dries
quickly and evenly. n It leaves tho
scalp soft. and the hair fine and silky.
bright, l%ustrous. fluffy and easy to
manage.
