ENGLAND, BACHELORS LAST HAVEN,
 CONSIDERS TAX ON UNMARRIED MEN

Great Britain is thus far behind other nations of Europe in entrap- ping the bachelor. In Germany Arnold Hirtsiefer, minister of pub lie welfare, has advocated bach. elor tax to make up a deficiency in the budget.
 Spain has made arrangements for an immediate imposition of such tax. British and other for. eign residents in Spain have made a protest, but the protest is not deemed likely to bear fruit.
 Italy believes that man of 65 is still an eligible bachelor. She began last year to tax bachelors between 25 and 65. Premier Mus solini estimates that Italy will re ceive $2.50O.0O0 a year from this tax.
 France has taxed bachelors since 1920. Unmarried men of 30 years and more pay super in come tax of 25 per cent. This number of extra taxpayers reach ed 260,000 last year. France however. believes in buttering the bread on two sides. for she also taxes unmarried women of 30 and over. and even married couples who have been married more than two years and have no children are taxed 10 percent over .he nor nal rate.
 France, to repair the drain of the World war on her manhood and to recover from her present low birth rate, is offering many privileges to large familias.

Department Ma kes An- nouncement as Result
 Senate Resolution
BELIEVED MELLON
 TO IGNORE ATTACKS
Trouble Arises from Cam paign Contribution Of-
 fered by Sinclair

WASHINGTON. March 22.-It
 was made clear at the Treasury Department today that regardless of the result of the vote in the Senate on the resolution request ing retirement from the Cabinet. Secretary Andrew W. Mellon will
 not resign.
 It is evident i'll Treasury cir cles that Mellon will ignore the attack upon him in Congress. un-
 less President Coolidge should de-
 mand his withdrawal and no such action is considered pos siblc.
 The resolution for Mellon's re- tirement was offered by United States Senator James Couzens, Republican of Michigan. and
 arose partly from the Teapot
 Dome inquiry and Melons failure to disclose that Will II. Hayes ,oftered him Sinclair liberty bonds in exchange for campaign con- tIitlhtibHS.
 Senator Norris. Republican of Nebraska, recently demanded, in Ia speech, that Secretary of Treas
 ury Mellon resign for falling to make public Will Fl. Hays effort Ito have the Treasury Chief ac- .eept $50,000 of liberty bonds I icJASffbuted 5o tffe 7epnD q INational Committee for campaign funds. It was also said that Mel Ion would be asked to testify be- fore the Teapot Dome OH Com mittee, merely elaborating on the 1 letter which he sent Senator Wat son several days ago.
 In his letter Mellon told how Will H. Hays had sent him $5O.- i, 00U of Sinclair's oil-bond gift to the C. 0. r. with the subsequent request that Mellon act as dummy" contributor to the par I, tvs deficit. Mellon turned down Hays proposcal. he said. and
 later made personal contribu-
 ton of $50.000 out of his own pocket to help alleviate the par tvs then strained financial con
