else asked who could be found to
march with the game going on?
So the parade win be held in the

giving the veterans plenty of time

Artist Says Society Women
Are Eager to Pose
Peasants Refuse

PARIS, Sept. 2S.-Women were
so per cent prettier fifty years ago
than they are now. according to
Jean Gabriel Doumergue, noted
French painter and scenic artist,
who is said to have painted more
beautiful women than any other
man alive. 4i' =.
He said:
From my observation the beau.
tiful women Of today are not in the
ranks Of the rich--or very few OF
them are. The habit of having
their own way-this applies par
ticularly to American; womeu---has
given to their faces a peculiar
peevish pout that is not at all con.
ducive to beauty.
THE. difficulty Is that while ] can
persuade society. women to pose
in the nude. / hage sean peasant

Venus who would not GLOW ME to
paint them, whereas many a skinny

Treasury Experts Detailed to
Gather Data for Senate
Committee

Secretary Of the Treasury Mellon
today detailed a special corps OF
experts to compile internal revenue
bureau and prohibition statistics,
such as are demanded from the
Treasury by the Couzens Senatorial
Committee investigating the bureau.
Mellon said that the Couzens
committee would not be in session
during the investigation but that
information would be turned over
to its attorney, Earl J. Davis. OF
Detroit, as fast as complied.
Data on the large income taxes
will be prepared first. Treasury
officials explained that the com
mittee desired, to learn just why
the taxes of certain large income
taxpayers fluctuated from higher to
lower tax brackets.
Mellon also let it be known that
the committee would make an intes4-
sive study of the decentralization
plan of the internal revenue bureau.
Officials said that the committee
had demanded decentralization and
then, finding it practiced by the
Treasury, desired to learn what
progress had been made in its
application.
For Mellon it was stated that the
decentralization plan has been a.
success. In the settlement of taxes
taxpayers may now do it with their
local internal revenue officials
rather than making the trip to
washington. The system. accord.
ing to the Treasury, will be ex.
tended as fast as possible.
Secretary Mellon ordered experts
to furnish to the Couzens COM
mittee list Of appointments in the
prohibition unit and AZ record of
those appointeesa who had been
discharged. Treasury officials said
that the committee intended to
make a thorough study of the appli-
cation of the prohibition law.
