- 14 PLSPERTY PANED TOSOUNDTAXPLAN [Too Early to Consider Addi- | tional Reduction, Dewey" [ Tells Credit Men. By the Associated Press. % PHILADELPHIA, October 27— Maintenance of the present tariff and B “sound tax system” wete:decldred necessary to the continuance of pros- perity by Charles S. Dewey, assist- gnt Secretary of the Treasury, speak- Ing last night before the Philadelphia Association of Credit Men. Mr. Dewey reiterated, on behalf of the Treasury, that it was too early to consider another tax reduction, al- though a larger surplis than the £185,000,000 previously estimated was @ sight for this fiscal vear. Advises $100,000,000 Margin. He warned that many Government Freceipts which would swell the sur- plus this year would not recur in Gucceeding * years, including about $100,000,000 in back tax collections and $60,000,000 returned to the Treas- ury on Federal farm loan bonds previ- ously purchased. He advised retain- Ing a $100,000,000 surplus margin for the Government to operate on an- nually. Warning that any slowing up in present business conditions might wipe out this margin in succeeding Years, he estimated a decline of even 30 per cent in manufacturing activity would show a drop of not less than §165,000,000 in tax revenue. Caution Necessary, He Says. ““Business has been complaining for rs of the unsetling effect,” he said, constant jockeying with tax rates. “It is easy enough to adjust one’s business to a downward trend in taxes. But we must be careful, in our enthusiasm for lower taxes, that we do not reduce them so far that some day we must raise them again.” He also opposed suggestions to al- ter the sinking fund or to extend the veriod for retirement of the public debt, declaring “any attempt to un- load the indebtedness of this genera. tion onto the next generation will prove extremely unwise, for there is little doubt that the next generation will have its own emergencies and financial burdens to meet.” FAMED ARTIST HONORED.

POINCARE ON DUTY INSPECTING SCHOOLS |, French Premier Takes Time From Official Duties to Visit Alsace-Lor- raine Educational Institutions. By the Assoclated Press. METZ, France, October 27.—M. Ray- mond Poincare, premier of France and minister of finance, recently took a few days off from the problems of the economic and financial situation and has been acting as a school in- spector in the cities of Alsace and Lorraine. i Darting about in his limousine, the premier played no favorites. He drop- ped in during classes at Hebrew schools, Catholic and -Protestant insti- tutions and the undenominational es- tablishments of the French state. He sat patiently through lectures on Egyptian history in the “Lycees,” or high schools, and patted many a little blond Lorraine head in the kinder- gartens of Metz and vicinity. M. Poincare says this contact with the rising generation has renewed his own youth. Schools and colleges al- ways have had a fascination for him. He comes of a teaching family. His uncle Lucien and his brotRer Henri were both famous scientists. el g Mrs. Norma M. Hancock, vice presi- | dent of the Standard Oil Co. at Shreveport, La., is the only woman tvho has ever held an executive office with that corporation. She began her career as a stenographer and now has 2,000 people working under her. Marrakech and most :powerful lord of the Atlas district. The festivities, in a setting worthy of, and rivalling the Arabian Nights, began at sunrise Sunday and will last a full week. Mulai Youssef, ac- companying his son, Mulai Idriss, ar- rived here this morning. Mulai Idriss bears the name of the greatest sultan in the history of Morocco, who in the seventeenth century asked for the hand of the 'daughter of Louis XIV of France in marriage. - Never @aw His Bride's Face. Idriss will marry a woman whose face he never saw. The bride’s heavy veil, as in the case of all faithful Moslem women, will not be taken oft even for the bridegroom until the wedding night. The bride has not been consulted regarding the choice of her husband and this is not a love match. El Glaowi, desirous of putting the finishing touch on his great prestige, simply, agreed to produce sufficient gold and jewels to induce the'Spltan to permit the son of a prophet to marry the daughter of a pasha. Yesterday was Mendicants’ day and none needed go hungry in Marrakech. More -than §£,000 persons, many of whom were poor only for a day, ate at noon under tents set in place just outside the Palace of Bahia, the pasha’s residence. Whole beeves, steers and bgmep were impaled on the stout liml of trees and revolved slowly over log fires.

For sweets and pastries alone 1,100,000 francs was spent by EI Glaowi for this Gargantuan repast. Valuable Presents Displayed. - The wedding presents; brought from mountains and plains by caids and sheiks, valued at more than 15,000,000 francs, were displayed:in a series of delightful courts where fountains play against colored tiles. In the evening, just as the sun dis- appeared behind the Atlas Range and a marabout, or holy man, from a minaret on the towers of Koutoubia Mosque announced in the plaintive tones of a Muezzin's prayer that the daughter of a pasha was wedding the descendant of the prophet, a cavalcade set forth from Bahia Palace. The bridegroom, attended by 7,000 horse- men_bearing torches and_ rifles, pa- raded through romantic Marrakech, Afri- | the roads lined with pink Wallsean palm trees. Vast quantities of fire- works were set off by negro slaves, whose position of servitude was marked by a silver ring piercing one ear. > Real Ceremony Wednesday. The real marriage ceremony will take place Wednesday morning. Ac- cording to the custom, the groom will be washed at the Fountain of Mederza Benyoussel and massaged by slaves with the most subtle perfumes. Then the right hand of both bride and groom will be painted with henna by a ut. The bride will not be allowed to enter the room of her hus- band until midnight. The populace danced in the streets of Marrakech last, night to the melan- choly ‘music of Arap string instru- ments of%ountless orchestras, and El Glaowi, a tall, lean, sallow, rather sinister Moorish chieftain, who, al- though living nominally under a French _protectorate, protects the French as mudh as the French pro- tect him, has achieved his life’s am- bition—his family has become allied with that of the Prophet Mohammed.
