MELLON s TAX
RATE AGAIN IN
REVENUE BILLY.
Substitute freasurer's Fig.
ures for Longworth
Compromise.
WORK WITH SPEED
Democrats Vote SolidIy
Against Move But Of
fer No Substitute. 4.

Washington, ID. c., March 25.-
The income tax rates proposed by
Secretary Mellon are again in the
revenue bill.
Proceeding with unexpected speed
in its consideration of the bill last
night. the Senate finance committee
launched into the income section and
by a vote of eight to seven, substi-
tuted the Mellon rates for the Long
worth compromise adopted by the
House.
Democrats of the committee, who
nave been working on a substitute for
the Longworth rates, were not ready
to offer a counter-proposal and voted
solidly against the Mellon rates. Send
tor Jones, Democrat, New Mexico.
announced later, however, that they
would put forward their proposed sub
stitute either in committee or on the
floor.
May Reopen Action.
Chairman Smoot said a motion to
reopen the income schedule for COM
mittee action would be decided BY the
committee. Since eight of the ten
Republicans Of the committee voted
last night for the Mellon rates an
attempt to reopen the question in
committee will depend on the votes
Of Senators Mccormick, Illinois. and
LaFollette, Wisconsin. Republicans,
who were absent and were not rep
resented by proxy in last nights
vote.
Four Republicans and five Demo-
..kN
votes Of Senators Reed. Missouri, and
Gerry, Rhode Island, the absent
Democrats, were cast. BY proxy
OF Senators Watson, Indiana: Ernst.
Kentucky, Mclean, Connecticut, and
Elkins, West Virginia. absent Re-
publicans, were cast in the same man
ner IN favor of the treasury rates.
With decision reached on this
section, the main controversial sub
ject OF the bill, the committee was
given an opportunity to center its
work now on the miscellaneous tax
schedules, with prospects of making
report to the Senate within two
weeks.
The Mellon rates provides for a
maximum surtax of % per cent on
incomes in excess of 100000 and
normal rates of 3 per cent on incomes
below $4,000 and per cent above
that amount. The Longworth rates
called for a maximum surtax of 81 IL
per cent against 30 per cent in the
present law and normal rates of .
per cent on incomes under $4,000; =
per cent on incomes between $4,000
and $4,000. and 9 per cent above that.
The treasury rate schedule, adj
vanced last fall before the opening
OF Congress, was adopted by the
House ways and means committee on
strict party vote but was not sup
ported By a large number of Republic
cans when the bill was taken up
on the floor.
Democrats Substitute Plan.
The Democrats were. able 10 sub
stitute a plan proposed by Representa-
tive Garner, Democrat, Texas, pro-
viding for a maximum surtax OF A
per cent and lower normal tax than
proposed. Later. all Republicans in
the House voted for the Longworth
compromise.
Little indication has been given of
the stand the Republicans in the
Senate will take on the rate contest.
The Democrats who have been work
ing on a substitute rate schedule
held a meeting yesterday but failed

FLY AT NIGHT
Kelly Field Students Will Fly by Each
Full Moon.

Further instruction in night flying
will be given by instructors in the Al
yanced Flying School at Kelly Field
Tuesday and Wednesday nights il the
weather is favorable. Eight instructors
who are experienced in night Flying
are acting as instructors of the men,
bers of the staff who have had very
little experience.
The instructors are being trained in
handling the planes from the rear seat.
The difference in the feel of the sheep
and the view that is gained from the
back seat makes great difference in
she landing. according to experienced
pilots. A pilot who makes perfect
landings from the front seat ordinarily
makes a poor landing on his first trial
from the rear seat. where the instruct
or is always located. >.
The unusual amount OF night train
ing at the present time is the begin
ming of new feature of the course at
the flying school. Heretofore gradual
ing students have made few flights
Mt the end of the course in order that
they might experience the sensations
of night flying. Students in future
classes will be trained in night flying
as part of the regular work IN the
course. =
Night flying will be done two weeks
out Of each month in the future in
stead Of two or three nights during a
six-month course as heretofore. Flights
will be made during the nights 'immc'
diately preceding and following the
full moon in order that pilots may
have sufficient light by which to To-
cate a landing field in case Of emer-
gency.
There are now 81 students in the
class at the Advanced Flying School.
Sixteen of these have been at Kelly
Field since January. They will be
given training in night flying hext
month.
The night flying is done under the
direction of Maj. c. ]. Brown. officer
in charge Of training.

Women Are Learning that
LinOleum Is Pretty

TEN years ago a linoleum floor
l. might never have been consid-
cred for this charming bedroom.
For then there were not nearly so
many beautiful designs and color
effects as are now found in modern
inoleum. Nor was hnoleum laid
then as it is now-by cementing-
assuring an unbroken expanse of
lustrous smoothness.
But today women are waking up
to the fact that linoleum floors may
be truly beautiful. When the bed
room shown in the picture was
being redecorated, the floor was the
most stubborn problem. 1t was an
old board floor. 1t had been var
nished one year, stained the next,
painted the next. But 1t seemed i'm
possible to make it a.pretty Aocr:
Wide cracks and ugly scars could
not be disguised. Nothing in the
room looked right. The floor inter-
fered with the whole color scheme.
Finally an interior decorator sug-
gested a floor of fine linoleum. Arm
strong's Linoleum was chosen in the
pleasing new Jaspe design. Its col
oring harmonized with furniture,

COMFORT and
BOON TO BABY
Remarkable busting Powder
Endorsed by Doctors
and Nurses

Few mothers realized how much
a really effective dusting powder
could add to the comfort, health
and happiness Of their babies until
they tried Silox.
For Silox is so far above tale or
the ordinary dusting powder that it
is hardly fair to others to compare
them. Silox is the most remarkable
absorbent of moisture-the most
soothing, cooling dusting powder
that has ever come out of labora-
tory! What is more, Silox is abso-
lutely pure. 1t cannot irritate the
tenderest skin and it positively
eliminates chafng! Physicians and
nurses use it on babies, only minutes
old! Silox is a thoroughly devel-
oped product of a great institu-
ton. 1t is endorsed by authorities
throughout the medical profession.
Use Silox after baby's bath. 1t is
just the thing to soothe the tender
skin after a good towel rub! 1t
and dimples on that chubby little
body and dry up every speck of
moisture. 1t will not cake and
harden as some talcums do. SiloX
remains filmy powder.
Always use Silox when "chang-
ing" the baby. Not only will it alb
sorb more moisture, but it will stop
chatting and help keep the little
fellow happy. That's another thing
about Silox-it saves fretful hours.
Silox is one of those remarkable
products that grew out of the war,
when the greatest scientists in the
world were striving to reduce suf
fering. Silox is thoroughly de-
veloped, ethical product-a boon to
babies; a marvellous nursery ally.
Silox has many other uses that will
save you many dollars and many
hours of discomfort. Be sure to
read the booklet that comes with the
can. Sold at drug stores and toilet
goods counters-only 35 cents. The

floors need little care. Daily wiping
