Is PER CENT SLASH
IN TAX ON INCOMES
PARTLY ACCEPTED

WASHINGTON, April 30-Secre-
tary Melons proposal for a 20 per
cent reduction in the tax on earned
incomes was agreed upon today by
the senate with modification.
The maximum amount of income
on which the reduction could be APP
piled was cut to $4,000 from the
$4,000 allowed. by the house. All
incomes of $4,000 or less, however.
would be considered earned for pur-
poses Of the reduction.
The finance committee has turned
down the house proposal to increase
the estate tax rates from a maximum
of 25 per cent to 40 per cent and has
also eliminated from the bill the
house provision for a gift tax.
Action Of the house in opening the
tax returns to inspection by certain
congressional committees was broad
ened by the finance committee to
permit the committee to make pub
lie any details found in the returns
and several senators have introduced
amendments proposing complete
publicity of returns

rivate Agreements
By Husband and Wife
On Alimony Held Void

The Georgia supreme court Wed
nesday ruled in two cases that con-
tracts between husbands and wives
with the intention of dissolving the
marriage relation are contrary to
public policy and therefore void.
One of the cases was that of F.
Fl. Powers, Jr., against Annie Ma
rion Powers, appealed from the Bibb
superior court The higher court
sustained an award of $50 per week
alimony to the wife, despite an al
legged contract by which Mrs. Pow
ers agreed to accept $50 rer week
alimony and half the proceeds of
the sale of their home as full com
pensation.
The other case was that of Mrs.
Flora Mckenny Don, of Savannah,
who sought to set aside a first de-
cree of divorce granted Joseph Don,
on the claim that Mr.. Don had
agreed to pay her $50 per month
alimony for life, if she would not
contest the case, but had failed to
keep the agreement. Judge Meldrim
refused to set aside the decree. and
the supreme court affirmed him.

DOROTHY'DIX DISCUSSES LIFE
TALKS ON HEART AND HOME
md a quart of beads, and very little

and a quart of beads, and very little
else.
Yet astute stage managers have
found that the surest way to make
an audience visualize a woman in a
certain way is to have her dress the
part A girl might, of course, be as
innocent in q crimson dress as a
while one; a women might be as
heartbroken in a pink silk and lace
negligee as she is in a bedrabbled
black alpaca, but it would take a
long argument to convince us of it,
and we wouldn't weep nearly as
freely over her woes as we do when
we get an eyeful Of her in the clothes
that tell us at once just what poor,
innocent, prosecuted heroine she is.
Surely this would suggest to every
girl the wisdom of retiring to her
closet, and having a heart-to-heart
session with her wardrobe, and
vivsection party with her character.
and thereby try to find out how to
dress her soul as her body, so as
best and most effectively to press
agent her individuality, so to speak.
If she is Of the bold and dashing
type, let her flaunt herself like a
sunfloWer in daring costumes and
flaming Colors, but if she is of the
quiet and gentle sort, soft fabrics,
chiffons and laces and pastel shades
belong to her, and make her look
like the traditional modest violet
that every man dreams of securing
as a wife.
Let the girl who is flat-chested
annd athletic rejoice in her sport
oil t.. l,o r+o
out a certain piquant boyishness
which is her greatest attraction. But
let the girl who is plump, and gra-
cious curves, make the most of her
feminity by decking herself out in
the frilliest frocks that she can find.
Each will lose in charm if she swaps
her plumage for the others.
Dangling ornaments, floating rib
bons and jingling bracelets belong
to the bay and foolish and frivolous,
but they detract from the dignity
of the stately, thoughtful, serious
minded woman. A tabernacle suit
is equal to a certificate of virtue,
and when a girl Is applying for u
job a plain, dark-colored suit will
do more to land her the position than
a gilt-edged reference. Nobody ever
belleVes that a, girl In a low-necked,
o-sleeved frok can ever be COM
petent business woman. She doesn't
look 1t.
Every woman knows that her
eyes seem twice as blue. if she has
a blue lining to her hat, and that
she can turn a, spotlight on her ev.
cry freckle by wearing q spotted
dress. In the same way she can
bring out her characteristics by the
way she dresses. If she wishes to
emphasize her cuteness, she can do
it by dressing like a baby doll. If
she wishes to be thought goddess,
she can add to her divinity by long
trailing robes. If she wishes to be
thought a good sport and treated as
a pal by men, sport clothes are hers,
while if domesticity is her long suit,
she can turn the trick by wearing
ruffled little white aprons at home.
So study your type girl, and dress
the part, if you want to make the
most of whatever charms with which
nature has endowed you.

centrated upon clothes, and the
marvel always is that they can put
so much effort on a subject and get
such poor results.
For the great majority of women
only think of dress in terms of fash
ion, and they follow the mode of
the moment as sheep follow their
leader over a wall. They wear blue
or long skirts, tight ones or full
ones, without any reference to their
compilations or whether their ankles
are slyphlike or like the legs of
piano, or whether they are living
skeletons, or have feather-bed fig
ures.
The result Is that thousands upon
thousands Of women look as If their
worst enemy had bought their
clothes, and that their hats were a
premeditated insult to their faces.
But they go their way, serene and
happy, having done the worst they
could to themselves, but blissful in
the knowledge that they are wearing
what everybody else is wearing.
Apparently it never enters the
average woman's head that by
clothing herself in the feminine uni
form of the hour she makes herself
indistinguishable in the mob, or that
she could call attention to herself by
breaking away from it, and dress
ing to suit her own particular type.
Still less does it occur to her that
her clothes offer her an invaluable
mode of self-expression, and that by
them she can emphasize her good
points and camouflage her defects.
Yet every moving picture, every
play she sees. offers a girl an OBJ
ject lesson in the psychology of
clothes that she does not heed. She
never asks herself why the innocent,
trusting maiden, too artless for her
own good, always wears a white
muslin and a blue sash; why the in
genue is always a mass of fluffy
ruffles; why the betrayed heroine
always wears a slinky black dress;
why the adventures is clothed in
crimson and spangles; why the Vamp
invariably wears long jade earrings,
