Byrd Calls for Direct,
Immediate Taxes, Hits
Postwar Rebates
Suys PiIed-Up Credits
Will Swomp Treasury,
Amount to Bonuses
By the Associated Press.


Characterizing proposed post
war rebates for taxpayers as a
form of bonus payments" Sen
ator Byrd, Democrat, of Virginia
urged today that the Senate FL
nance Committee concentrate on
revisions of the pending revenue
bill which would bring in the
maximum amount of immediate
and direct taxes.
Senator Byrd told reporters he
feared that If provision were made
to refund later some of the money
collected now, the Treasury might
be faced with staggering accu-
mutation of taxpayer credits after
the war. The Treasury's spending
tax proposal provided for rebates
Of the base 10 per cent levy after
the war.
"If those credits are piled up,
they can only be paid back by
appropriation of Congress-" he de-
clared. THAT means that we will
have to tax more after the war to
pay back part of the amount that
would be collected now.
"Most of these credits are going
to be piled up by persons and cor
porations whose income is being in
creased by war work, and I don't
believe the country is going to be in
favor Of that kind of bonus pay
ment."
Rebates to Firms Provided.
Senator Byrd opposed a provision
tentatively approved by the COM
mittee which would permit cor
porations to obtain a credit of IL
per cent of the amount of surtaxes
and excess profits taxes they paid
on their earnings in those brackets.
The credit could be used in a re-
stricted way to pay debts, but most
OF 1t would go into Treasury fund
for rebate to the. corporations at
stated periods after the war.
He said he believed this provision

off the sidewalks into Broadway and
jammed restaurants to the point

People waited in line before med

some establishments customers drank
milk out of cups and stirred their
coffee with forks in the absence OF

Taxis, which normally tear up and

M a n ne RS
of the
Moment

With after dinner coffee in the
living room, without q maid or butler
to help serve, guests are supposed to
give q little assistance. A woman
can't sit elegantly behind a coffee
table and pour. and at the same time
get up and pass, without making the
whole act look Q little amateurish.
Some guest-the one she knows
best-should just naturally get up,
without any to-do or explanation,
and quietly pass the coffee cups as
they are fllled, following up with
the sugar
It is awfully nice when a woman
can train her husband to do the
trick. But If that is out of the
question, the woman guest whom
she knows best should offer her
services.
And il her friends aren't like that,
then she'd better be Early American
and have the coffee at the dinner
table. JEAN.

1t Is necessary now, not only foI

not for a moment.
That means We are not to be

to our faith in our cause, in oul

bled. neither let 1t be afraid.

Courage in Wartime
Remain Cheerful and Confident
For the Sake of Your Children

Bring out the old games and get
some new ones. The more active
the games for the older ones the
better. Ping pong-or perhaps they
like better to say table tennis
bowling and dancing, are fine for
them. Singing around the piano
putting on a play. charades, tab
leaux, giving entertainments to help
useful schemes are fine activities
Action Is the thing.
Don't listen to the war news all
day long. No good comes of that.
Keeping the household stirred up
all day with news that may be con-
tradicted the next hour, is wasteful
and harmful. Morning and night
news ought to be enough for any
family.
Don't talk war all the time. Pass
over 1t lightly for the childrens
sake and do your moaning in private
If moan you must. Pin your faith
In our country's spirit, its strength,
its will to do right as We see the
right. and remember the word OF
God: Let not your heart be trou-
bled. neither let it be afraid"
This is q clearly marked cause
against evil. and evil cannot long
prevail against good. We have only
to work and hold the faith to win.

Right Way
To Apply.
Powder
Following Method
Will Keep Face
Fresh Looking
By Patricia Lindsay

Before instructing you on how
to powder correctly I want TO say
a word or two about tone and tex
ture.
Unless your skin is unusually
oily, choose a powder that Is flow-
er.lisht in texture. Too heavy .
powder cakes on the skin. 1t need
not be expensive to adhere we'll.
or to contain finely milled ingre-
dents that prevent shiny noses!
Tone is also important. because
4 powder even one shade lighter
than your skin tone creates an
artificial appearance - gives .
"fIour-barrel' look. When . pow
der matches your skin tone you
may use it more lavishly and 80
do a thorough job instead OF q
skimpy one when applying 1t.
II your skin has the least ten
dency to sallowness, or If your
coloring is on the quiet side. be sure
to choose 4 warm powder tone, one
with plenty of rose in it to nor
malize your skin coloring. II you
are fair and sallow a rose cream
tone win do for you; If you are dark
and sallow experiment with . dusk
rose tone.
You start the powdering Job. OF
course, with q spanking. .clean face.
Your base goes on hrst with water
moist fingers. A foundation cream
keeps your face looking fresh hours
after the powder Is applied. II it
is nicely applied. Do not miss
wrinkle pockets around the nose,
and mouth and eyes, and bring
the cream over the jaw line and
down the neck. After gently pat
ting 1t into the skin with finger
tips. remove any excess with facial
tissue.
Then nun the powder over the
entire face with . fresh pun or
wad of absorbent cotton, then COW
er the neck down to your chest line.
The eyelids are the only spot omit
ted Put plenty Of powder on, n
excess Is whisked OF later with q
powder brush or with face tissue
lightly crumpled.
Your face should have . mat
finish Of even shade but 1t should
under no circumstances look pas
ty." Women over so may use q
deeper shade Of powder (than that
used on their faces) over lower
Jaw and far back on the cheeks TO
minimize lines witch may be In
those areas.
Now for setting the powder 20
your face may keep pretty for
hours to come. Dampen (but do
not make 1t wet) . fresh piece Of
cotton with Z mint-green skin
freshener. Then gently press every
square inch Of your face with this.
Preside not rub! It does . nice
job Of creating trauslucsncy which

Deep breathing is one Of the first

Kidding the body OF poisonous waste

Deep breathing will ward of hys-

greatly IN the cure Of cases Of in

nervous tension.
All Of us get enough oxygen to
maintain life, but few Of US get

cred panties and middles. There's q
great deal of interest in cotton
pique with scalloped skirts edged In
ric-rac or starched lace, also in the
full-skirted One-piece versions. Much
talk of black swim suits has been
going around New York, but we've

those which are available are the
slinky rayon jersey ones with row
of buttons down the back-starting

Stacks without cuffs Ito save mate
rial, maybe) and some shorts with
cuffs for no particular reason i.
Both long and short trousers often
feature leather belts which give
them bit of added dash, and all the
smartest ones are In clear, bright
colors or In prints.
Separate shorts, jackets. slacks
and skirts of spun rayon o1er un-
limited possibilities for "nix-and-
match" combinations, and you can
do wonderful things with pink slacks
and shirt and deep purple jacket,
for example. Also interesting are
three-piece combinations including
a print jersey play dress and match
ing bra top and shorts. Good look
ing, too, Is print jersey play dress
with detachable bolero Jacket in
solid shade, and there's a luscious
print on a white jersey background
with cape to match. In rayon shark
skin are bra top and shorts with
long jacket-if you can call jacket
which hits the cuff of the shorts
'long"
Prints are everywhere, and color
Is by far the most important fashion
note in everything from slacks to
pinafores. There are lovely tomato
reds, deep greens and vibrant pur-
Piles, as we'll as q flock Of pastels
and some interest in stripes and tat
tersall fabrics for slackS. Most
important Of all. however, Is the
increased recognition given to cor
rect fit in all these casual clothes.
1t Is no longer smart to be sloppy,
and dropping slacks or ill-fitting
shorts are as outmoded as the hustle.
