fighting throughout the British sector i
of the front. The British airmen not i

As an Illustration of the formidable I
character of this fighting it may be I

By the United Press
Wanhlncton, Aug. 10.
With only a week remaining before
the new revenue bill Is scheduled to be
reported to the House, the Ways and
Means Committee today still had to
settle on an excess-profit rate, frame
a war-profit tax and gather the loose
ends of luxury tixes.
The committee has tentatively decided
to adopt the recommendation of Its sub
committee for a 10 per cent retail sales
on all things commonly recognized as
luxuries.
The subcommittee's recommendatlonb
on other thlnggwguch as clothes, which
become luxurlfawhcn they command
only a very high price, have not been
acted upon finally. On these things
tho recommendation Is for t 20 per cent
tax above a certain price, such as men's
suits and overcoats above $50,
The 10 per cent tax on leased wires
and news phone circuits, adopted after
a hard tight In committee yesterday,
will raise only (1,000,000, Chairman
Kltchln said today. The committee
turned down the final recommendation
of the Treasury Department to tax
leased wires 25 per cent.
"The. tax might easily work to prevent
any but the richest papers getting any
telegraph news at all," said one com
mitteeman, who opposed levying any tax
on wire service.
Other members pointed out that the
tax would be levied at a time when pa.
otrs throughout the country have
voluntarily agreed to limit their readrj

When Company
Drops in for Luncheon
It used to be that when company
dropped in unexpectedly about
lunch time I had to open a can of
sardines or something else that
looked like what It was a make
shift. But now I'm not a bit
worried no matter how many of
them there are, because I know that
with very little trouble I can get
the best salad they ever tasted.
I boll somo eggs hard and cool
them by putting them under the
cold water for a minute. Then I
take out the yokes, crumble them,
and mix with butter, salt, pepper
and Al Sauce to taste. I put tha
mlxturo back into the whites and
serve on lettuce with any kind of
dressing I happen to have In the
house. It's the Al Sauce that
makes all the difference between
ordinary stuffed eggs and the flavor
of this wonderful salad, that no one
but a French chef has ever beforo
been able to get. Ailvt
