and pleasure, has made for herself
an unparalleled place of distinction
in the world, the French scholar
said
Emile Daeschner, retiring French
ambassador, supplemented his coun-

that lack of opportunity kept the
French woman from playing the
same important role as that of the
American woman.

surgeon, who is visiting New York.
also paid a tribute to American
women.
Americans are fearfully restless,
always iii a hurry" he said. "They
marry in haste, hence your divorces.
Yet one can hardly blame you for
marrying. Your women are eXquis-
ite beauties and quite liberal, I no.
tice, in showing their beauty. Wen
eese women are noted for their love-
illness, but the American women

No Scientific Word
On Tidal Wave at

Bangor, Me-. Jan. 1O-(AP) The
tidal wave which struck the village
of Bernard near Southwest Harbor
yesterday a few minutes after the
harbor had been drained to the bot

ton today. but the hardy mariners
and vicinity agreed that it was pro-

University was reported as having
recorded no shock, and the theory
that subterranean earthquake had
caused the disturbance was discount
ed by scientists.
Bore waves, experienced scar IN

There was no ground for a sugges-

volcanic eruptions were always local

Washington. Jan. 10.-(AP)-Tax
reduction of 100000, 900 this year.
or approximately $170O00,O0O more
than provided by the house revenue
bill-was proposed today in a pro-
gram drafted by the Democratic
members of the senate finance COM
mittee.
While accepting the reduction in
the maximum surtax rate from 40
to 20 percent, the plan, announced
today by Senator Simmons. of North
Carolina, ranking Democrat on the
committee, would increase the reduce
tons voted by the house for incomes
between $4,000 and 100000.
Repeal of the taxes on capital
stock, admissions and dues made up
the remainder of additional reduc-
tons in the Democratic program.
Passenger automobiles taxes were
not touched in the plan on which
they agreed.
Cuts in the normal income tax
rates and the increased personal ex-
emptlons for income taxes provided
in the house measure were accepted,
and no reference was made to the
inheritance tax, publicity of income
tax returns or any Of the other rate
schedules
In making public the plan, Sem
ator simmons announced that it rep
resented the views of the Democrats
only on the specific items mentioned.
Other matters in the bill" will be
dealt with as they are reached, he
said, indicating that some of the
minority members will fight for 9TH
er changes in the house measure.
Senator Simmons declared the in
crease above the $3.50. 100000 reduce
ton limit seta by the house and APP
proved by Secretary Mellon could be
accomplished and still permit retire
ment of the public debt at the end of
81 years. the maximum time now
contemplated by the treasury.
Senator Simmons will present the
Democratic program to the finance
committee tomorrow when it takes
up consideration of the rate sched-
uless but Republican members. who
have 10 to Z majority, have indi-
Gated they would vote for the sched-
ules written into the bill by the
house, with perhaps some less ex-
tensive notifications. The real sho-
down on the rate fight, therefore
is not likely until the measures is
considered on the floor of the SEN
ate, when Democrats hope to draw
enough support from the Republic
can ranks, to insert some of their
schedules in the bill.
