THEY DO SOME REAL
DANCING AT LYRIC

They're dancing fools. every one
Of them. The Charleston" dancers
with Talbert's Band at the Lyric
this week. And the orchestra OF
ten. They just lose control on a
piece and the jazz runs wild. And
Lethia Hill, the blues singer, will be
a revelation to those who have not
heard much OF this sort Of melody.
No attempt is made by the or
chestra to get classical, from the
first to the last the program is jazz.
and hat is the big feature. It is
jazz. The rhythm and syncopation
fairly makes the dogs" want to
dance all over the floor. Even we
were tempted.
To the Six American Belfords a
human being seems just so much
flesh to throw into the air and
juggle. You have seer jugglers take
large balls and juggle them with their
feet? These men take each other
and do the same thing. It Is one OF
the most spectacular acts OF this
kind we have ever seen. And no ono
gets up and makes a speech in
broken English. A real act through
and through.
Davis and Nelson are q good look
ing couple, who expose the follies OF
other vaudeville acts they have seen.

Of the team. No big features. Just a
continuous ripple Of funl
Conn and Albert are a comedy
team, whose offering at times gets
right down in the old slapstick
realms and provokes some hearty
laughter. Their impression OF a
team OF acrobats is original and
gives one a new slant on this branch.

fine soprano voice. Some OF her
songs she sings in Japanese and then

Editors Note; This is the second OF six
articles by one OF The Times Washington
correspondents designed tn take the new
Federal tax bill apart and snow what 1t
contains. The bill has passed the House
and is now before the Senate.
EV1 ASHINGTON, Dec. 29.-"A
INV Christmas gift to the Ameri-
81 can people" was the charac-
terization by Republican Floor Lead
er Tilson of the 1886, 900, 900 tax-re-
duction bill which recently passed
the House and is now before the
Senate.
Analysis OF the bill shows that a
better characterization might be: "A
golden Christmas gift to the big fell
lows. but another hole in the little
fellows sock"
Take the case of Treasury Secre-
tary Mellon, one of the wealthiest
man in America, and n Of the
bills chief proponents.
In income and supertaxes alone,
Mellon, who paid $1,Ss2. 900 in taxes
last year. will save about $3.50, 600
under the bill. Assuming that his
taxable annual income is about $4.-
600, 900, as his tax indicates, he would
save about one-ffth of 1t. His in
come tax is cut; his supertax maxi
mum is cut from 40 to 20 per
cent. And beside these big cuts
at the top, he exactly
as much in the lower brackets as the
smaller taxpayer-for instance, on
his income up to $4,000 he ave just
as much as the man who has only
$4,000 in all.
Now take the case of an actual
small taxpayer, who may be called
Littleman. Last year this man paid
slightly over SIS income tax on about
$4,000 income, If he had a wife and
two children. Under the proposed
bill he will save the $5-about
enough to take his wife to the the
ater. His saving is one-seventh Of
l per cent of his income.
And the bill is nearly done with
giving benefits to Littleman, while
It continues to shower them on the
MELONS, as will be shown later. Auto
taxes are cut 2 per cent, but If
Littleman wants to buy a $500 car.
he will still have to pay SIS, or 8
per cent, federal tax. The cigar tax
is cut slightly, but that on cigarets
and smokin' remains unchanged.
Taxpayers now pay about $34S. 900.
600 yearly to the government or to
bacco. Under the bill they would
pay 1881, 900, 000-and Littleman
pays most of It.
Fhe tax on alcohol Is cut, so he
can get his patent medicines a little
cheaper-if the vendors don't absorb
the cut. Theater admissions under
so cents will not be taxed, but those
above that figure viii be. Littleman
can, under the bill. get a gun I'M
taxed, or a camera, or a slot ma
chine.
StiIl Pays V..r Tax
This about ends. the benefits Of
the bin to him, and he still pays in
war" taxes on tobacco, autos, ETC.,
many time what he saves In income
tax. And he bears the 81, 800. 900 900
burden of tho high protective tariff
which the tax bill was designed to
leave unchanged.
Melons case is far different. In
addition to the big saving in income
and ~supertaxes. the maximum in
heritance tax on big fortunes has
been cut from 40 to 20 per cent
J exactly in half.
Mellon's fortune is variously esti-
mated, but never al less than $780,

from inquiries which have come to us," MT. Mowry concluded, i've feel safe in making the assertion that practically all of the community ad- vertising that has taken hold and prov ed elective has been done during the past five years. Communities which have started this advertising have continued it. Many of these communi- ties have increased their appropria- tions from year to year. There is a growing tendency on the part of state, county and city units to make official appropriations" tE
 The public is cooperating more and more to help maintain Truth-in-Adver. tising," William P. Green, acting di- rector of the National Vigilance Com mittee of the Associated Advertising Clubs, told the Community Advertis- ing Department of the World Adver- tising Convention here the other day. Outlining the work of the commit tee and affiliated Better Business Bu- reaus during the past Is years to elim- mate waste in advertising, Mr. Green continued:
 | Tn the early days of the movement, we dealt almost entirely with -adver- tisers. However, the need always has been felt for a closer relationship with the public because as the advertiser who is inclined to misrepresent. his goods comes to learn that the public is watching him, he begins to exercise greater care in the preparation of his advertising copy. Likewise, his sales methods are toned down so that he is not so likely to be open to the charge of selling merchandise under false pretenses.- ~.-,-......-
 Through the appointment of pub lie relations committees, our nation al and local better business bureaus are achieving this end. These com mittees include representatives from outstanding women's organizations civic associations, church groups, and other bodies. When a question comes up as to the truthfulness of any state ment or practice, the public relations committee offers a source of informa tion as to what the public thinks O the statement. This construction oi the part of the public is a pretty diff ficult argument for the advertiser t. answer.
 :. "This new development in the move
 ment, bringing both business and tn
 public. into closer relationship, an' the public particularly into a nor
 active position in our work is one c
 the outstanding services now bein
 rendered by this movement in it's e1
 forts to make every community saf
 place in which to trade.''

COMMUNITY ADS
 BUILDING NATION

HOUSTON, Texas. May 19.-P)- More than 100 cities and communi- ties in the United States are now ad- yertising," Don E. Mowry, chairman of the Extension Committee of the Community Advertising Department, Associated Advertising Clubs, told meeting of the Department at the World Convention here today.
 "A guess indicates that some $4,000,- 900 is expended for what we may prop erly term community advertising by public organizations and by govern mental units," Mir. Mowry continued. Florida, California, Maine and the Northwest are the outstanding lead CTS today. It is being discovered, in number of states, that there have been for some years provisions on the statute books which permit govern. mental units to advertise but no one, heretofore, has taken the trouble to look up the present laws and then ere ate the sentiment which would make possible the use of such moneys which may be appropriated.
 "One of the outstanding accomplish ments of the year has been the cam. paign in Chattanooga, Tenn, to raise $50,OOO a year for five years for com munity advertising. The Community Advertising Association in that city now proposes to obtain survey be fore undertaking to let any contracts for advertising. If, through the eff forts of members of this department we can assist in guiding forward cam paigns on the plan which is to be fol lowed in Chattanooga, we shall have accomplished much for advertising it self and for truth for which we al stand four square.
 'The developments in Maine at the present session of the state legisla ture is most worthy of our attention An appropriation of S25,OOO for two years has been made by the Maine legislature. The cities and towns have been authorized to hold meeting to consider appropriations for maga zine and newspaper funds. Portland started out with an appropriation o s10,O00. Inasmuch as Portland neve before made an appropriation of thi character for publicity, this is an ind cation of what change has come owe the people of Maine since Governo Brewster signed the state bill. Var ous towns have already made appre priations ranging from $25 to $6,50( Maine's slogan has already been sus gested. Bring them to play-persuad them to stay

OWNING RACE HORSES
 BRINGS NEW THRILLS
 TO ENGLISH WOMEN

NEWMARKET, Eng, May 19.-P) Women in England have taken greater interest in horse racing this spring than ever before. There are nearly 300 women owners of flat or straight running horses, while great many others are extensively inter- ested in steeplechasing, or other forms of the sport coming under na- tional hunt rules. A hundred years ago there were but very few women race horse owners in this country, but the fad within the last 25 years has spread throughout the British Isles, and every racing center now has it's quota of fair owners who take an active part in the sport.
 The latest addition to the list of women who possess running steeds is Mrs. J. B. Brunei Cohen, wife of a member of parliament, who pur- chased Hideaway at KeHnpton after he had won her ten to one bet in the Ashford Plate event. Mrs. Co., Then had but $2.50 on Hideaway, but she was so overjoyed at victory that she purchased the winner at the auc- tion following the race for $1,700. If she is successful, she says, other horses will be purchased with Hide aWay's winnings.
 In connection with the world-fam- ous Derby, it is recalled that no wo- has ever won this event, although for years they have been among the competitors. Lady James Douglas, however, triumphed in the substi- ute race of 1918, her colt Gainsbor- ough winning the 2,0O0 Guineas and the substitute St.. Leger, also of that year. In 1919 Lady Douglas was the first woman to win The Oaks.
 In regard to steeplechasing, Lady Nelson won the Grand National in 1915, while Mrs. Henry Peel was successful in the substitute race of 1918.
 Women owners, however, have won numerous other big races, the rec ords for last year alone showing that for the third successive season Mrs. c. Sofer Whitburn headed the win ming women owners and came eighth on the general list. In the one year Mrs. Whitburn's colors came in for place in p races, bringing in nearly $6O,000 as prize money. With all these successes, however, she did not win a single first-class event. On the ' other hand. Eleanor, Lady Torring- ton, won the City and Suburban, Mrs. R. Jeffrey the Royal Hunt Cup, and Mrs. J. Rudd the Ebor Handi' cap.
 Women for years have been in terested in the raising of blooded horses,and in this regard it is re corded that Lady Sykes headed the list of winning breeders, just beat
 ing Lord Derby, with 27 races of total of $1S0,000. There is no record here of a woman ever having been licensed as a public trainer, but dur
 ing the war women frequently car 7 ried on for the absent trainer mer
 folks who were at the front. Nc woman either has ever been licensed to ride under Jockey Club rules, bu1 ! there is talk that they may. sooner or later, and ride in such events as the Newmarket Town Plate and poin to point races generally.

AIR POLICY
lWiIbur's Plan of Making Every

Wins Approval

Every Annapolis midshipman mere
after win be an aviator as well.
Training in flying becomes re-
ouired part Of the course at the
Nava, Academy next fall.
Secretary of the Navy Wilbur mas
determined upon this policy as the
result Of the growing importance OF
aeronautics in naval warfare. Naval
officers in general strongly approve
of the plan.
So far as the class of 1926 is
concerned, the new course OF train
ing at Annapolis goes into effect
next month. While one-half OF the
class takes the customary summer
cruise, the other half will remain to
receive intensive aviation instruction
at the Academy. The midshipmen
probably will visit the naval air
stations at Anacostia and Pensacola
as part Of their course.
The course also will be extended
to graduates of the Academy, who
win be assigned to aviation duty
as soon as they have completed two
