Darning Yarns.

1T ~ not uncommon at all TO find
housewife who prides herself in a

in cotton and silk, with colors TO

In fact, many women make IT Gus

even though 1t be ready made.
But these same women, likely as
not, will he content to have but one
hank Of darninG cotton, In black or
white, and expect to make that do
FOR all repairing Of this kind. except
when the wiry mercerized sewing
thread IL pressed into service. That
IL large part Of the explanation
why so little darning il done in the
average home.
AS a matter Of fact, there is almost
more reason in these days Of ready
made clothing for keeping n good as
Sortment of darning cotton and wool
than there il for SO many spools of
sewing thread. And especially the ef-
tCient housewife ought 10 he supplied

and darning thread IL that the lat
ter is loosely twisted. Thus il doesn't
cut the other threads readily, and
II doesn't shrink and pull the repaired
place out OF shape. Moreover, the
short fibers which stick out from the
edge Of the thread tend TO fill up the
openings in the darned surface and
make II as tight as the rest of the
weave.
Darning thread should not only
match In color. but in texture and
luster, the fabric TO be repaired. Nor
should IL he any larger than the warn

mon and very serious mistake in

and then separate off as few or as

BLANKET DECREASE
IN TAXES PROPOSED
Maximum Surtax Favored by
! Leaders Is From 13
to rs Per Cent.
By the Associated Press.

The next Congress, in it's predicted
efforts toward tax reduction, will have
before it proposals for blanket de-
creases with a maximum surtax rang
ing from 13 to 25 per cent, if the
early Summer suggestions of Repub-
iican and Democratic leaders carry
through to December, when the law
makers assemble again.
Chairman Green of the House ways
and means committee, which will be-
gin in the Fall it's work on a new
revenue bill, is of the opinion that
liberal, equitable reduction should be
erected, with a maximum surtaX of
20 per cent. The same figure has
been suggested by Chairman Smoot
OF the Senate finance committee.
Senator Underwood of Alabama
recently advocated a maximum of 13
per cent, and Frank w. Mondell,
War Finance Corporation member
and former Republican leader of the
House, has suggested Is per cent in
a series of speeches in the Midwest
on tax reform. Treasury officials are
said to favor a reduction to at least
20 per cent.
Chairman Green disagrees with the
opinion of Senator Smoot, which is
concurred in by President Coolidge,
that it might be well for the Federal
Government to abandon it's inheri-
tance tax. The Senate finance chair
man proposed that inheritance levieS
be left to the States and that they
in turn should leave the income tax
field to the Federal Government.
Mr.. Green was not ready to discuss
suggestions that the State and Fed
eral Governments devise q plan to
eliminate dual taxation.
Puts Levy at 25 Per Cent.
He predicted that a Treasury sur
plus of at least $500, ,0O0, 900 would be
shown and that this would justify a
reduction of the SurtaX to 25 per cent.
No definite conclusions as to the eX-
tent of the decrease is possible. how
ever. he believes, until the Budget
Bureau estimates next years expendi-
lures, and final figures on revenue
collections are available.
In a statement outlining his OBJ
servationS abroad. Mr.. Green, who
has just returned from a trip to
Europe, said he found in France no
evidence of any general willingness to
accept needed reforms in taxation
methods. While he thought the rates
were high enough and possibly too
high in France. he declared the real
trouble was lack of a thorough sys-
TEN of collection.
The English tax system worked
more smoothly than the American, he
said, because it was administered by
trained officials adequately paid, and
he expressed hope the new tax bill
would provide more attractive COM
pensation for such work here. He
added that he also would attempt to
bring about an adaptation of the
British standard for disposing Of tax
cases. especially by providing that all
should be closed within FIVE years.

Chicago Produce Market
Chicago. Ian. Q

Extremely heavy selling after
prices had equalled the seasons pre-
vlous top record led to a sharp decline
in the wheat market today. Much of
the selling was said TO have been in
the nature Of profit taking on the part
Of the holders. Wheat closed weak,
II to 1sc net lower. May 1889 to 1851
and July 1.65s to 1.654. with corn to
2Sc down, oats showing to lac drop
and provisions varying from lie de-
cline to &c advance.
Except at the outset, the volume of
wheat offerings proved to be decidedly
burdensome Notwithstanding that the
demand became much broader on all
the downturns in price. Early adj
Nances, which carried the market to
the days highest point, were ascribed
to a jump in quotations at Liverpool
and TO reports of Russian buying here.
Subsequent breaks here took May
down 3sc, the market meanwhile fluc-
tuating at rapid rate and numerous
holders selling freely whenever the
market rallied.
The most conspicuous selling was
from the New York houses. Ont out
come of today's break in values was
to bring Argentine wheat and United
than has been the case for some time
incidentally 100000 bushels Of hard
winter wheat was reported as having
been purchased for shipment to Eu-
rope from Gulf ports in this country.
Other export business in domestic
grains was also said to have been
done. Corn and oats We're depressed
iy reports that one of the largest indi-
Niduat consumers Of corn had reduced
the price of gluten meal s. a ton. Be
sides. there were indications of an in
creased movement of corn to terminate
markets.
Provisions averaged lower, respon-
sive to the weakness of grain.
