than $500. 900, 900 in 1925, a growth
almost unparalleled in American his

indicate a sale of 100000 radio sets
and 20,0O0,000 tubes.
Besides the completed sets, sales Of

nearly all of which have come into ex-
istence in the last five years.

LEAGUE TO SETTLE
| ON EASTER DATE

GENEVA, Nov. 1S.-P)-An ap-
peal for help in reforming the calen-
dar has been dispatched throughout
the world by the League of Nations,
which especially Graves assistance in
the delicate task of establishing fixed
date for Easter.
Calendar reform has been entrusted
by the league to a special committee
which includes ecclesiastical authori-
ties of several Of the big religious
movements and also an American
member, Willis Fl. Booth, former
president of the International Cham
Der of Commerce.
Secretary General Drummond in a
letter sent to all members of the
league, explains that the need OF
definitely fixing a date for the Easter
festival appears to have been felt, es-
pecially in ecclesiastical circles, but
that certain replies received seem to
show that a similar desire exists in
educational circles as a date selected
would be of great importance from the
point of view of holidays and the gen.
eral arrangement of the work in the
various branches of education.

NEW MEASURE
| WOULD GUT
/ BACK TAXES
Retroactive Reductions Are
Called for in House
Committee Bill.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Nov. 10
Z R)-Retroactive tax reduction. IN ad-
dition to cuts in future federal levies,
Is provided by the revenue bill now
IN preparation by the House ways and
means committee.
The committee yesterday voted to
nullify the increased inheritance tax
rates, carried in the 1924 revenue law.
!r would make the lower 1921 inner
ltance rates apply on all inheritance
FAX settlements made since the 1924
act became law and up to the time
( the new bill now being written with
modified inheritance rates becomes eff
fectiye. The provision in the 1924
law. however, allowing a % per cent
credit on the federal Inheritance tax
for payments made on state inner
Z itance lcvies were retained for the set
Elements in that period. Thus the
inheritance rates from June /, 1924.
s when the last act became law, actually
would be lower than under the 1921
act.
AS result the government would
have to make refunds on all settle
ments of inheritance levies made be-
tween june 2, 1924, and the effective
date of the proposed new law, which,
IT Is estimated. would amount to sew
eral million dollars.
The 1921 inheritance tax schedule
had a maximum of 60 per cent and
the 1924 law carries a maximum rate
of 40 per cent. The committee pro-
poses to cut this to 20 per cent.
Hoping to wind up its work on the
bill by the end of the week, the COM
mittce will meet again tomorrow after
being in adjournment today to give
subcommittee opportunity to work
out remaining details.
