DUKE TAX RULED OUT
BY SUPREME COURT
Government Loses Assessment of
$9,0O0,000 in Appeal on Tie
Vote by Bench.

BY the Associated Press
Federal taxes of $4,000, 900 assessed
against the estate of the late James B
Duke of Somerville, N. j., who died Oc-
tober 10. 1925. were disallowed yester-
ocy by the Supreme Court in 4-to-4
decision.
A majority is necessary to set aside a
decision by lower court. Chief Justice
Hughes did not participate.
The estate taxes were assessed on two
trusts made by Duke for the benefit OF
his daughter Doris, Duke naming him
self trustee.
The Commissioner of Internal ReVe-
nue. held the two trusts took effect at
Dukes death, and were taxable under
the revenue act of 1924.
The taXability depended on whether
they were intended to take effect at or
after Dukes death. The Board Of Tax
Appeals and the Third Circuit Court OF
Appeals reversed the commissioner on
that point and held the trusts were not
subject to the estate tax
The trusts involved property in excess
of S30,500,000.

THE meeting between Mary and
Elizabeth in the last act is, of

prisoner to her cousin. the latter never
ventured near her. The amazing series
of letters that passed between them is
the only link there was. Out of these

BEAUTY
TAI KS
TO MAKE SPINE FLEXIBLE
By
MARJORIE DUNCAN

A STIFF spine brings with it q
A multitude of evils. 1t hampers
the .functioning of the vital organs.
It robs the step of its spring. It makes
people look prematurely old.
Here are a few simple hints to
help you timber up-make your spine
more flexible. your body more supple
and graceful. Don't go about 1t too
strenuously. Take it easy at first. II
you are physically able, and have the
time, by all means go in for some sport
suited to your age and general con-
dition. But you can do all that is
necessary, in the privacy Of your home.
Here is an effective spine limberer:
When you are wearing no restricting
clothing. stand with your feet a few
inches apart, soles fiat on the floor.
Imagine your soles positively glued to
the floor. Leave all the rest of the
body limp. ready to sway this way
and that on the supporting solos, Lean
over, letting the head and arms hang
limp, fingers touching the floor as
nearly as possible. Try to undulate
the spine, try to wiggle it in waves
so there will not be, a single vertebra
which has not felt the motion. Sway
the limp body in every direction. Then
stand erect and sway the body for
ward, backward, and to each side.
Wriggle shoulders, loosely, up and
down. If you find the exercise mo-
notonous, turn on the radio and do 1t
to music. It is more enjoyable then.
II your spine curves in too much
at the waist line. try to timber that
particular section. 1t is condition
called lordosis and is the result OF
tense, drawn nerves. Constant wear
ing of high-heeled shoes will cause 1t.
The tensed nerves pull the spine in
and this automatically pushes the alb
domen forward In an ugly curve. An
other ugly curve is formed across the
back below the waistline. In the case
of the too fat woman, the fat and the
ugly curve combined produce hustle
effect that is ludicrous. These ugly
lines may be corrected by the spine
limbering exercises. The fat woman
should wear medium heels or her daily
walk will conteract the good effect Of
her daily spine exercise.
When sitting, make sure that you
sit well back in the chair, thighs filling
the seat of the chair, back erect but
not entirely straight and not rigid.
feet fiat on the floor, shoulders back.
not tensed upward, head up and back,
chin horizontal. Pull up-grow tall.
Hold your head as though you were
proud of something, and well you may
be If your posture is correct and grace
full.
When standing. remember head up.
chest up, shoulders back, not up. head
held high. toes pointing straight ahead,
hands and arms relaxed at the sides.
