WINSTON CRITICIZES HIGH SURTAX RATES Tells Credit Men Change Is Needed to Bring Money to Productive Channels. Tax-exempt securities totaling $13,- 000,000,000 and the ‘“economically unsound basis of surtaxes” were assailed by Undersecretary of the Treasury Winston today before the Assoclation of Credit Men as causes of discouragement to business and loss to the accumulated wealth of the country “upon which alone the con- tinued prosperity of us all depends. Mr. Winston pointed out how the present income tax allowed men of wealth to escape taxation. “Repeat- edly,” he said, “Congress has refused to reach the abuse of having a type which works an exemp- The total of tax-exempt securities would amount to $15,000,000,000, he predicted, before “any constitutional amendment could possibly be made effective.” Mr. Winston addressed the conven- tion at the opening of World Trade day, during which the credit men Jaid strong emphasis upon the oppor- tunities of world trade in reports and addresses. Samuel Vauclain, presi- dent of the Baldwin Locomotive Works of Philadelphia, spoke on for- eign credits and experiences of his company. Coolidge Greets Delegates. President Coolidge posed for a photograph with the entire conven- tion personnel shortly afternoon at the east portico of the White House. Several resolutions were passed during the morning, among which were the following: Declaring_that law-making in the country is “too prolific to insure the proper observance of laws and the building of a morale that rests upon proper observance.” “Disapproving regulations of an un- necessarily restrictive character,” and suggesting to Congress ‘“‘the wisdom ‘of giving to business the encourage- ment that is possible even though placing about it & regulation to insure good faith and equity in all of its operations.” Want Taxes Revised. Favoring revision of State and Fed- eral revenue laws, including inherit- ance taxes, “as will protect our busi- ness interests and our citizens against that which might amount to confisca- tion of property and which will ren- der less attractive the investments in non-taxable securities of funds which would otherwise be utilized for the promotion of our commercial and in- dustrial activities.” Approving the World Court and rec- ommending that the United States join “with such reservations against ‘entangling alliances’ as the Secretary of State has proposed.” Commending the attitude of the Chief Justice of the United States and of the associate justices in relation to bankruptcy administration, and of the general orders in bankruptcy recently adopted. A dinner is to be held tonight to be attended by several mem- bers of the diplomatic corps and to be addressed by John Moody, presi- dent of Moody’s Investors’ Service of New York, and Alfred P. Dennis, member of the United States Tariff Commission. Sees Bad Effect. Undersecretary Winston, in discuss- ing “idle funds in the hands of a rich man,” sald the rich man was “not interested in risking his money and his energy in a new enterprise where, if he wins, the Government appro- tes half his winnings, and if he oses he stands the whole of his loss. An investor does not desire productive mssets when he can let o property lie idle and its increment in_value is not reachable by the tax collector. All this is wrong. Its effect ultimate. 1y is to increase costs and to narrow the margin upon which the credit of business rests.” Mr. Winston said waste and conse- quent lessening of credit was gener- ally caused by “a taxing system which forces business and investment out of its normal channels and uselessly in- creases the expenses of business and cost of obtaining capital.” “This,” he said " is a wholly unnec- essary destruction of the wealth of the Nation by which the entire people suf- .™ Under excessive income tax rates, the undersecretary continued, “indus- try cannot function normally, but is constantly being forced into wasteful channels. This unnatural diversion yields no revenues to the Government, and is costly in industry. Excessive rates cost the taxpayer $2; the Govern- ment gets one and the other s thrown away, resulting in a loss to the ac- cumulated wealth of the country upon which alone the continued prosperity of us all depends. It is the economic- ally unsound basis of surtaxes which 1s alone responsible for this loss. Asks Reasonable Rates. “If, however, we cut down these tax rates to a reasonable figure, the high differential of a tax-exempt over a taxable investment is brought with- in proper limits and funds seek normal investment: initiative and new ventures are not so heavily penalized, and we can expect movement ahead; artificial restraints on business, arti- ficlal methods of handling industry, no longer are worth while, expense is saved, and we have a greater margin of profit available. This is the solu- tion which is within the power of the country to make, and which I feel must ultimately come.” Mr. Vauclain declared the “conduct of domestic business is child's play compared with the conduct of business with foreign countries. In order to advante vour foreign business you must learn to do business as business is donme by the countries in which your prospective customers reside. You must have representatives who are familiar with the habits and cus- toms of the people, and who have con- fidence in their business integrity. You must also be prepared to give the same credits to the business men of these countries that you would to those of similar importance in your own country. Merchant Marine Needed. “What this country needs now more than anything else toward the devel. opment of foreign trade is to have available a suitable merchant marine for the shipment of our goods, suit. ably designed and so constructed that a minimum rate of freight can result in profit to those engaged in the sery- ice. Frelght rates by water to all for- efgn countries are today the greatest obstacle that confronts the business men of the United States.” Curtts R. Burnett of Newark, N. J., led & forum on discussion of “Relation of Taxes to Credit and Property” fol- Jowing Maj. Winston’s address. The world trade session was under direc. tion of C. C. Martin of New York, chalrman of the forelgn credit com. mittee; W. 8. Swingle, manager of the forelgn credit department, and B. B. ‘Tregoe, manager of the Western divi. sion.

WILL SEEKU. 3.AID FOR DRUG ADDICTS Entertainment for Women. An entertainment was planned for this afternoon for the visiting women of the convention, under the auspices of the women's convention committe headed by Mrs. Helena D. Reed. Vis- iting Soroptimists were the guests of the local Soroptimist: Club yesterday Officials to Urge Legislation Providing Establishment of Farms for Treatment. Steps looking to the introduction in the next Congress of a bill providing for Federal aid to any State which would meet the Government half way in establishing institutions for treat- ment of drug addicts were considered at a conference today between L. C. Nutt, chief of the narcotic forces, and Sanborn Young, State Senator of California. Mr. Young sought Mr. Nutt's advice regarding the establishment of a farm for addicts in his home BState, where drug users, estimated at ap- proximately 4,000, would be given some hard labor and fresh, wholesome food, instead of being treated with gradually reduced quantities of drugs. Mr. Nutt said that this would be suit- able for rehabilitating the higher-class drug user, but not for mentally in- competent and criminal addicts, who, he believed, should be confined in fn- sane and penal institutions. Mr. Young, who is co-author of a bill to regulate the sale and use of poisonous drugs in California, is ex- pected to seek the co-operation of Senator Shortridge in the plan, which would be similar to a bill which failed of passage by Congress several years 2go. In a further effort to reduce the drug evil to a minimum, Mr. Young told the narcotic chief that he would ask John D. Rockefeller or some other big financier to offer a reward for the discovery of a non-habit-form- ing_substitute for morphine. ““We have got the drug situation so far under control,” said Mr. Nutt, “that it is now an economic question and we have got to provide some place for the drug user.” Agents of his force, he added, had paild as high as $6.50 a grain for morphine and $2.50 a grain for cocaine for evidence. The average retail price, he said, was, dur- ing the last six months, 84 cents for morphine, 54 cents for cocaine, 67 cents for heroin and 68 cents for opium. DRIVER IS DISCHARGED. Ambulance Chauffeur Loses Job for Unnecessary Speeding. Officials of Emergency Hospietal have notified Cominissioner Fenning that they have dispensed with the services of Clarence Montgomery, the ambulance driver who was reported by the Commissioneréseveral days ago for returning tq the iicspital at an un- nessary rate of Speed. The driver was frst suspended without pay, but the hospital advised the Commissioner he would not be re- stored to duty. 5 at--luncheon and on a sightseeing trip. 'grn.de group conferences, a recep- tion to delegates by officials of the Department of Commerce, and a re- ception at the Pan-Am Union Building by Dr. L. 8. Rowe, director, were scheduled this afternoon. At the banquet tomight the program will be concluded by a dramatic pres- entation, “Tact, or Brass Tactics,” by a cast of credit men from New York City. & The Petroleum Trade Group elected the following officers: K.

C., THURSDAY, JUNE 11, 19 IDRESS TO LOOK YOUR BEST, AVOID FASHIONS THAT ARE UNBECOMING, QUEEN MARIE SAYS FIRE HORSES WIN HARD-EARNED REST District Will Retire Last Team to Blue Plains—O0th- ers to Occoquan. In the clover fields of Blue Plains, faithful old Barpey, Gene and Tom, once the pride of Washington’s now discarded battalion of strong-hearted fire horses, are to browse in peace and safety for the remainder of their lves. While deeply touched citizens were pouring in cash and checks, pleading for the establishment of a rescue fund to save Washington's loyal old public servants from a few years of tortu- ous toll before the glue factory claims them, District officlals today issued the order that retires them for life to the farm at the Home for Feeble and Infirm. Next Monday morning they are to be taken back to their old stalls, the familiar gong will be sounded, and when they reach the end of thelr run—that last dash to a fire that will be only imaginary—hostlers will be waiting to lead them off to the long rest and comfort they have earned by 14 years of eager readiness in the service of man. Officials Stirred. The sentence to an ignominous end- ing after their unfaltering loyalty to the National Capital stirred not only the disapproval of Washington citi- zens, but the Board of Commissioners and other District officlals as well when it became known that Barney Gene and Tom had been ‘“condemned’ as unfit for further use and ordered auctioned off to the highest bidder for whatever service he chose, whether for dray purposes or the steaming mu- cllage vats. . Preparations had been made to bring the situation up at the meeting of the Commissioners tomorrow, but Danlel J. Donovan, the District audi- tor, announced that it would not be necessary for either the Commission- ers or the public to raise a fund to pension the team—the last to go out of service from the Fire Department. It required only a simple order from his office to accomplish the same end_ and it was speedily issued. Public Gives Money. After learning from Supt. Fay of Blue Plains that he would be glad to accept the three horses and board them for the rest of their lives, he had them officially transferred from the Fire Department to the Home for Feeble and Infirm there, and at the same time ordered the six other re- tired fire horses, representing scat- tered teams that had been out of serv- ice for 'several years, sent to the prison farm at Occoquan. There was no chance, however, that Barney, Gene and Tom might hear the sentence to toil that had been passed on them. Before 10 o'clock this morning, a dozen or more citizens sent contributions to The smr' Office, totaling $108.21, to form the nucleus of a rescue fund for the pur- chase of the old fire horses, and there seemed little likelihood that the people of Washington would fall short of the amount needed to accomplish that purpose. Tot Gives Savings. The first person to offer a donation ‘was little Miss Edith Rathbun, 4 years old. Her contribution was 21 pennies, her own little savings account, which she handed personally to the cashier of The Star with a request that it be used “to save Barney, Gene and Tom."” Her mother and father, Mr. and Mrs. 8. H. Rathbun, added a check of $5 to that amount, and other checks soon carried the fund past the century mark. Ross D. Thompson contributed $25, Miss Violet Whelen, $3; Dr. H. C. Yar- row, $5; Mrs. George Barnett, $5 for herself and $5 for Mrs. Minnie Madern Fiske, the famous actress, whom Mrs. Barnett sald would surely contribute it she were In the city, and would be told of the purpose for which the money was to be used; J. S. Easby- Smith, $26, and W. 8. Hutchins, $25. Through the efforts of Mr. Dono- van, the District Commissioners and George S. Watson, chief of the fire department, this money will not be needed and will be returned to the donars, as will any additional con- tributions that might be recelved lat. er today. Two other contributions, one of them for $25 and the other for $5 had been received yesterday, mak- ing the grand total for the two days nearly $140. To Honor Team. Chief Watson was the victim of considerable criticism yesterday for a situation that he was helpless to con- trol and caused him as much grief as it caused his critics. Following the publication of the announcement that Barney, Gene and Tom were to be sold on the block, he received nearly & dozen calls from persons who up- braided him for “thinking of such & thing,” and asking where they could send checks to help save the horses. ‘When the Fire Department head was notifiled this morning that all of his old pets were to be spared from dray service, & work for which they are eminently unfitted, he guiped hard several times. Then he declared that Barney, Gene and Tom, the last regu- lar team, were to be sent to their re- tirement with every honor the de- partment can bestow and with the clang of the stirring fire gong ringing in their ears once more. As soon as he learns the day Supt. Fay will call for the old fellows he will order them removed to their original stalls. When they leave their former home for the last,time it will be in the shining lvery they had worn so well for more than a decade | tai and in the presence of many of the men who had served along with them and before high officials of the Fire Department. Public Invited. “I want to do this not only for Barney, Gene and Tom,” Chlef Wat- son said, “but to give the people of Washington an opportunity of seeing what a noble crusade this has been. ‘We will have a regular fire run for those old fellows—the last they will ever enjoy—and it will be a sight worth seeing, too. If Barney, Gene and Tom had to be sold for dray serv- ice they would not have lasted more than three years, but down there on the farm at Blue Plains, under the care of Mr. Fay and with light work to do, they will last for at least 15 yoars.” The date for the last run will be announced as soon as the formal de. tails for tbe transfer are completed and Mr. Fay lets the department know when he can call for the horses. It is belleved, however, that the exer- cises for Barney, Gene and Tom will be next Monday morning, the date originally fixed for their formal mus. ter out of the service of the city, and Chlef Watson is anxious to have that schedule maintained. Sheep to Keep Grass Cut. A herd of 13 sheep today will be turned loose in Rock Creek Park to keep the grass plots there closely cut. The herd was presented to the office of public buildings and public by Mrs. Ann Archbold, 3905 Reservoir road, and were accepted by Col. Sherrill. Patrick Joyce, super- intendent of Rock Creek Park, took over the sheep today and will be in charge of them. DELUAEBUSLIE CRANT S LIKELY Capital Traction Application Decision Not Expected for Several Days. Although the Public Utilities Com- mission will not render a decision for several days, Indications today were that the application of the Capital Traction Co. to establish a parlor car bus line from Chevy Chase Circle to the Capitol will be granted. There were two main contests be- fore the commission at the hearing yesterday. In one, the Capital Trac- tion and the Washington Rapid Transit Co. were pitted against each other for the privilege of running a novel type of de luxe bus service from Chevy Chase. In the other the Wash- ington Railway and Electric Co. and the Rapld Transit Co. were battling for bus extensions into the Petworth section and Sherman Circle, There were no intimation at the District Building today as to how the commission would decide the Petworth case, The two street railway companies have been protesting to the commis- sion for the past two years against ‘what they regard as unfair en- croachments by the Rapld Transit, but they were more emphatic than ever yesterday in opposing further extensions of the independent bus lines. Fight 25.-Cent Rate. In opposing the Capital Traction’s parlor car bus proposal vesterday, Willigm McK. Clayton of the Federa- tion of Citizens' Associations centered his objection on the 25-cent rate of fare. The Rapld Transit Co., through Attorney Conrad H. Syme, told the commission it would run a de luxe bus service over practically the same route to the Capitol and thence east- ward to Fifteenth street and Mary- land avenue northeast for 10 cents. John H. Hanna, for the Capital Traction Co., insisted the kind of service his company is planning could not be rendered for 10 cents, and pointed out that the people of Chevy Chase were in favor of the Capital Traction application. The commission recelved several letters protesting against certain por- tions of the route over which the Capital Traction proposes to operate, and it is probable that if the parlor car line is authorized some changes will be made in the route. At the afternoon ression of the hearing yesterday William F. Ham, president of the Washington Rallway and Electric Co., reiterated the ob- jections he has previously raised against the granting of further ex- tensions to the Rapid Transit Co. Mr. Ham presented exhibits show- ing how street car traffic has been declining and declared that if inde- pendent bus competition is permitted to g0 on one of three things is likely to happen, namely, an increase in fare, abandonment of some of the transportation facilities or impairment of service. Mr. Ham also introduced evidence to show that the street rall- way lines were responsible for the growth of the suburban sections be- fore busses were started. Attorney Syme, in arguing for the applications of the transit company, contended that growth and increase of property values has occurred in other cities and is not pecullar to ‘Washington. The Washington Railway and Elec- tric Co. is applying for an extension of its Park road bus line from Rock Creek road and Randolph street, porth on Fourth street to Webster, east to third, south to Varnum, west to Fourth street and south to Rock Creek Church road. The Rapid Transit Co. is seek- ing an extension from Sixteenth street to Spring road, east to Kansas ave- nue, to Sherman Circle, to Illinois avenue, to Longfellow ~street and thence back to Sixteenth street. There was little discussion of the proposal of the Capital Tractiop Co. to run a loop bus line through the Chevy Chase section as a feeder to the Connecticut avenue car line.

A queen’s or a princess’ “entree” {s always prepared for her. She is the last to appear. All other guests are already assembled, everybody is wait- ing for her—eager, cynical, tired, cross, pleased, flattered, interested, sometimes grudgingly so, but interest. ed in spite of themselves if only with the very human desire to scoff, criti- cize and find fault. Therefore a queen or a princess who has any right pride or even only a sense of the fitting will see that her “‘entree’ should not be a disappointment. Clothes’ Role Important. Clothes on these occasions play a great part, and 1 have known that sort of instinctive murmur of ap- proval which mounts all unconscious- ly from a crowd when it is pleasur- ably impressed, when It is pleased. ‘The principal thing was to look your best, so if I found the fashions of the year too unbecoming I modified them according to what suited me. But very carefully, s0 that even the unkindest critics should have to admit I had improved the fashion, not spoiled it. There are certain occasions which stand out in my memory when I knew that I hd a tremendous success—and it certainly was a delightful feeling, like that of a great artist when he brings the house down. It would lead me too far to relate what clothes 1 wore on those lucky days, though I can remember nearly all of them with a sort of happy gratitude. But one I would, all the same, like to describe, because there was something fairy-story-like about it in a world which now has crumbled away. Triumph at Czar’s Court. It was at the late czar’s coronation. There were many royalties, of every country in Europe, old and young, fmportant and unimportant. I was not particularly fmportant, but I was young, just 20 years old—and all my iife through, forgive re for saying so myself, has my face been loved by high and low. It has made my life’s road more sunny and sometimes more dangerous. “My face is my fortune, sir,” she sald—and to a certain degree was it with me. All these manifold rovalties used on official occasions to walk in grand procession through the great halls of the palace, paired off according to rank. Not being the representative of a big country, my place was the fourth or fifth. All the guests were as- sembled to meet us, we passed bowing through their thickly packed ranks, on our way to the church. The empresses, queens and prin- cesses wore long court trains, which were carried by pages dressed in scarlet and silver. These were young boys of the military schools just on the verge of becoming officers. One of my characteristics all through life was my real enjoyment of things. Nothing ever bores me. I am always keen, interested, full of attention, and I suppose my face expresses thi Now, many royalities are dreadfully bored with their officlal duties. I am not; I never was; and during these magnificent festivities, which were certainly tiring as well as gorgeous, people used to watch for me ‘‘because Iualwlyl looked so pleased,” they sald. ‘Well, that particular day I knew that I was looking my best, and that is a pleasant feeling, and the success I had would have made every woé- man’'s heart beat with satisfaction. “How I Was Dressed.” And this was how I was dressed: A gown of snow-white mousseline-de- sole, entirely sewn over and over with diamonds, which fell like rivers to the hem, where large clusters of pink roses were embroidered. Over this, attached to my shoulders, was an endlessly long court train of pale pink velvet upon which enormous branches of wild roses with their thorns had been embroidered, run- ning from the shoulders down along the whole long train covering it over and over like the creepers which bur- jed the “Sleeping Beauty's” palace under its pink and white profusion. On my head I wore a perfectly round crown of diamonds, and flowing from under it was a white vell em- broidered with scattered rose petals. Femember that I was 20 then, and ““fair of face” as the old.legend would have said. And let me add, as be- fits the story, that the little page who carried my train was head over ears in love with the lady he served. Event Still Is Pleasure. That was long ago, but pleasurable to look back upon—a pleasure today still, to remember all those faces, all those eyes lighting up with joy and admiration, to remember the astonish- ed approval that followed me like a murmer wherever I passed. Paris is, of course, the paradise for clothes. The French chic is indiscuss- able and “clothes in Paris” is almost as important a topic as politics. Al smart American women go to Paris for their dresses, and certainly get beautifully turned out. But alas, they have also made prices go up in a way quite distressing for those whose ex- change 18 low. London is running Paris very close. I found clothes in London that I liked better than those in Paris, especially from & Queen’s point of view. They had more dignity and were easter to wear. But then ales, I am not as thin as the ultra-modern woman, who, to be really elegant, manages to be almost as flat as a man. Raps Slaves of Fashion. I did not begin soon enough. I was not the type appreciated in my early days, and now I am too advanced in years to dare become over thin. All dresses nowadays are made to suit these emaciated figures so that it is difficult for rounder ladies to know what to wear, and in general the criticism I have to make is that too few women wear what suits them, being overeager to go blindly, siav- ishly with the fashion, quite indif- ferent if it becomes them or not. Some women seem to have been born chic. Then this s immaterial, they can wear anything, put an the most absurd hat, the most unbecom- ing dress, and yet right thing. But that is a gift like any other, and certainly the Parisienne s it more than any other. ‘woman who has not this chic, if v o UNDERWOOD.

Over and over again has the moral- izer berated the sinful attraction of clothes. In my heart of hearts I agree with him. Often am I utterly shocked and horrified at the sums which are wasted on clothes.

FENNING PLANNING INTENSE DRY DRIVE Works Out Program for En-| forcement of Prohibition Laws. in United States ana Oan A new plan for the enforcement of prohibition in Washington has been tentatively worked out by Commis- sioner Fenning, the details of which he will not reveal until he has con- ferred with Acting Supt. of Police Evans and other officials. “Enforcement of the liquor laws is one of the big problems coming un- der my supervision,” said Commission- er Fenning, “and 1 have worked out what I believe to be a feasible method of handling it. Before I discuss it in detall, however, I wish to confer with various officials concerning it.” The Commissioner said that if a sufficlent number of those officials agree with him he will proceed to put the plan into effect. As to the work now performed by the vice squad of the police depart- ment, Col. Fenening said he had not vet had an opportunity to give it con- sideration.
