made by Congress resulting in not nearly so many persons as hereto fore filing returns; yet with more people relieved from paying the in- come tax" said MT. Poe. "the re- ceipts show an increase"
 "The personal exemption since 1925 has been S1,5O0, for a single person and S3,5O0. for a married person living with husband or wife. as compared with $1.O0O and S2.50O, respectively. The normal income tax rates on returns of in dividuals have been reduced from 2 per cent. 4 per cent. and per cent, to 1 F per cent. per cent and per cent. The surtax rates range from 1 per cent on net in comes in excess of S10,OOO to a maximum of 20 per cent on net incomes in excxess of S1O0,00O. as compared with a maximum of 20 per cent on net incomes in excess of $5OO,O0O.
 "The corporation income tax col lected during the first half of the fiscal year 1927 was at the rate of 13 per cent. and during the last
 half of the fiscal year 1927 was at the rate of 131 per cent"
 The Collector of Internal Reven- ue formerely collected a great many Special Taxes. Congress has cut them down so that the so-called .'nuisance taxes" are getting fewer each year. Less money is conse- quently collected for Special Taxes. Therefore the money collected by Mir. Poe from all sources under in- ternal revenue laws,f or the fiscal year, amounted to $14,0O1,415.51,
 which was a decrease of per cent for the year.
 An interesting sidelight on the in come tax receipts for the State of Washington (not including Alaska } shows that corporations pay ap- proximately three times as much as do the individuals. The receipts for 1927 show the collections from corporations to be $9.S72.374.5O, and from individuals, $3.319.923.- IA. In Alaska, however, the in dividuals pay more taxes than do the corporations. There are only a few districts where during the fiscal year 1927 individuals paid more income taxes than did the corporations. One of the excep- tions to the rule Is Florida: and
 the others are New Hampshire
 New York and Oklahoma.

New Military Attache
OF British Embassy
Cordially Welcomed
Col. Pope-Hennessy and His
Wife Notable Additions to
the Diplomatic Circle in
Washington.

Col. Ladislaus Harbert Richard
Pope Hennessy, who has succeeded
Gen. G. E. c. C. Charlton as mill
tary attache of the British embassy
is, like his wife, Dame Una Pope
Hennessy, a distinguished author
and when the social contingent re-
gathers in the Autumn they win re-
ceive an impressive welcome from
bookish folks, in addition to the
courtesies bestowed on newcomers in
the diplomatic circle. They came to
Washington just as the British en-
bassy was getting into Summer
quarters at Manchester, Mass, and
they are now established in a villa
near the Singing Beach, where the
sign of the lion and the unicorn is
temporarily in evidence.
Col. Pope Hennessy has just
crossed the half-century mark, but
he has crowded much into these
years. He Is the son of the late
Sir John Pope-Hennessy of Rastel
Ian Castle, County Cork, who had
held many important posts under the
old form of government. including
that of representing his borough in
the Commons, until his death in the
early 1900s. The colonel's0 mother
was the daughter of Sir Hugh Low,
another important member of the
Irish Parliamentary circle. After
completing his education at Beau
mont College, he entered the army
and served first with the oxford
Light Infantry. He has served in
India, in Egypt, and In almost every
part of the British Empire. The
World War found him lieutenant-col-
onel in the Oxford and Bucks Light
Guards and he was with the army in
Mesopotamia and in Egypt until 1917.
In 1910 Col. Hennessy married Miss
Una Birch, daughter of the late Sir
Arthur Birch. who had already gained
her laurels as novelist and a con-
tributor to serious reviews like the
Edinburgh, the Quarterly and the
Fortnightly. Mrs. Hennessy's out
standing works were Of a highly phil
osophical trend with fine background
Of history, and for their lofty influence
in public opinion she received from the
King the insignia Of dame comman-
der Of the British Empire and her
title Is Dame Una Pope Hennessy.
In 1920 for her war work, not alone
with her pen, but in actual service
in hospitals and rest homes, she re-
ceived a higher honor--that of Our
Lady of Grace of st. John of
Jerusalem, an ancient order of chiv-
airy established during the crusades
and conferred on those who aided
wounded soldiers Of the cross: There
