Father Also to Have His Marcel Wave CHICAGO, Aug. 3.—Father ts coming bome with a permanent ware Men, as well as women, must be considered in deciding 1921 styles of hair, according to dele gates to the National Hair Dress ers’ convention, meeting here to- day. “Many men are having their hair marcelied.” said Charles M Kortay, New York. “Dyeing is even more common.” In explanation of the growing fad of having their hair dressed among men, Kozlay said business was demanding young blood and pointed out older men have a much better opportunity if thelr hair ten't gray and is well kept While the large majority of hair dremers were men, when the trade was confined mostly to women, the field for women hair dressers ts opening up.

It was also agreed that several meas ures pending in congress, involving large additional appropriations, should be blocked. {NEW REVENUE BILL TO YIELD $3,000,000,000 If the committee can carry out its determination to cut expenditures to $3,500,000,000, the mew revenue bill probably will be framed to yield more than $3,000,000,000. This would be a reduction of at least $500,000,000 under the present taxes, it is. said In addition to taxes, it Is estimated that $500,000,000 can be obtained from the tariff and miscellaneous sources. Undgy Goris program, the excess profits levy would be repealed, some of the nuisance levies eliminated, the surtaxes reduced and the transporta tion taxes halved. The only ad ditional tax would be an increase of | 10 to 15 per cent in the flat income tax rate. The increased tobaceo taxes, how. ever, might be put in the bill Should this program be carried out in the bill it is believed that it might be subjected to further revie jon in the house thru movements to reduce the taxes on the “little fellows,” such as the normal income tax rates. The committee is calling various governmental officials be- fore It and telling them that their expenditures must be cut “to the trreducible minimum.
