bluer than her indigo dress. She
had been in Hollywood Is months

role. She wanted to get out of
Hollywood and the movies as fast
as possible.
Now don't be so disheartened,"
Dinehart cautioned her when she

clared-herself mot belligerent but
not neutral" Chamberlain and
Daladier. the two statesmen who
engineered Munich and then found
they had to fight after all, were
still in office.
The French General Weygand
banged the table with his fist and
told Daladier that France should
declare war on Italy at once, and
invade her and put her out of
business, while the Germans were
occupied with Poland and too busy
to help Italy.
Weygand's argument was
this: Italy Is indissolubly
linked with Germany. II we
don't fight Italy now. when we
are ready and the Italians
aren't, we must fight her later
when the Italians are ready
and we aren't"
But the men of Munich said no.
Because who knew that maybe the
whole war couldn't be fixed UP and
compromised So Weygand was
sent back to Syria in command of
a sideshow of mixed native and
colonial troops in the Near East.
Italy was given winter in which
to forge heavy artillery for her
army, in which she was lamentab bly,

House will consider the conference

The measure includes tax sched-

Earnings Credit Is Cut.
During yesterday the committee

called average earnings" method OF
computing their excess profits taxes
Generally speaking, corporations
with high incomes during a base
period-1936 to 1899. inclusive
would use this formula instead of a
optional invested capital" method.
In the place of the Al increase,
the committee voted to cut the aver
age earnings credit from 100 per
cent to 95 per cent.
For instance, if a corporation had
average earnings of 81 100000 a year
during the base period years. it
would be allowed to deduct $3.50 900
from its income for 1910 and subse-
quent years before figuring its ex-
cess profits tax.
Senate Provision Adopted.
As to the invested capital formu-
la, the committee adopted the Sem
ate provision exempting earnings up
to 8 per cent of invested capital
from the tax. 1t was decided, too,
to exempt the first $4,000 of cor
poration's earnings.
