"The Honor of Mary Blake"
Mary Blake and Flossie Payton
are actresses who chum together and
live at the same rooming house in
Xew York. Richard Kearney, offers
Mary an important part in a new
play, and when the girl goes to his
office to discuss matters, Kearney
makes violent love to her. She re
pulses his advances, and goes home
to relate her experience to Flossie.
The next morning there comes to
Mary a note from Kearney offering
marriage as atonement for his pre
conduct, and Flossie urges
V10US
.Mary to take a chance. This Mary
decides to do, and, going to Kear

return from the church where they
were wed, the woman is waiting for
them. Confronting the pair, she
makes Kearney admit that his mar

nage to Mary is illegal, because he
was married in Australia to the wo
man who had now appeared after
an absence of many years.
Mary, broken-hearted, returns to
Flossie and her furnished room, tells
her sad story and, comforted by
Flossie, decides to go with her chum

Washington, Aug. 2.—Reduction
from 15 to 10 per cent in the pro
posed tax on undivided surplus of
corporations, joint stock companies
and assoiciations, and imposition of
new "flour" taxes upon large ac
cumulated stocks of sugar, coffee,
tea, and cocoa were steps decided on
today by the Senate finance com
mittee on revising the war tax bill.
It is planned to complete the bill
Saturday and begin Senate debate
next week.
The levy on undistributed sur
plus virtually is a surtax on corpor
ate- incomes which now pay a flat tax
although individual incomes are sur
taxed. Reduction of the rate to 10
per cent followed the committee's
recent decision to treble the normal
corporation tax, raising $162,000,
000 more revenue from that source.
A crowd of young folks of the'
city will leave this afternoon oa. the

MARINES LIGHT FIRES
WITHOUT MATCHES
Port Royal, S. C. Aug. 1.—How
to light a fire without matches is an
important part of the training given
to United States Marines at this sta
tion. The primitive flint and steel,
used long ago by our forefathers,
and the old 'wood friction" method
borrowed from the Indians have
been revived, so that the sea soldiers
may dispense with matches when
dampness renders them useless.
U. S. Marines in the tropics can
start a fire almost instantly by using
hollow piece of bomboo. This is
hollaw piece of bamboo. ThU is
ing it with dry moss, and drawing a
stich to and from across it as a vio
linist uses his bow. These resource
ful world-wide soldiers are expecting
to find a substitute for the useful
bamboo, in France.
