CHICAGO NEW YORK BOSTON Tourists and Tariff | When the United States congress raised the tariff rates against the products of other nations there went | up a short-sighted cry from abroad that this country was: not practising a square deal with its neighbors both on this side and across the seas. The other nations drew a picture of buying great volumes of products from us while we were closing our doors on their products. ‘There was one feature of our international commercial relations which the complaining countries overlooked. It was the tremendous tourist traffic which we furnish the whole world, beginning at our Canadian border and end- ing in the far reaches of the world. It has been estimated by Secretary of Commerce | mont that the expenditures of American tourists abroad equal the entire excess of our exports over our imports.+ In other words, we make the accounts balance by our tourist traffic with foreign lands. Canada viewed with much concern the increased rates of the Hawley-Smoot tariff recently enacted, but it over- looked the fact that about $300,000,000 was spent by auto- mobile tourists who crossed the border last year. It is estimated that this type of tourist trade totaled 4,500,000 automobile parties. Canada imported from this country, last year, about $868,000,000, while its exports to us cqualled about '$500,- 000,000. This did not quite balance the commercial ac- zount, but it went a great way to doing so. It is the same with Europe. If the nations over there study their statistics they will find, as they have here- lofore for decades, that, despite the balance of trade in favor of this country, Europe has enjoyed sufficient tourist revenue from this country to offset this advan- tage. Otherwise the commercial relations of the Old and the New world would not have been possible to maintain. When Europe studies its balance sheet it may decide | that it will not pay to start a tariff war over the new | law. America is too good a customer in scenery if not in shampegne and Swiss chéese. A New Tariff Symptom Now that the new tariff law, designed to bring pro- tection to the American workingman and farmer, has finally gone into effect, it might pay to look about and sce if the times afford any signs concerning the way it is going to work. Here and there one can find little incidents that seem significant. One of them took place in Akron the other day. The B. F. Goodrich Co., one of the nation’s largest tire manufacturers, is preparing to transfer bodily the bulk of its tire and footwear export business to Kitchener, Ont. This is being done in order to serve trade in the Brit- ish dominions better. The dominions are retaliating to our new tariff law by putting up tariff walls of their cwn. Exports from Canada will be able to get in where ex- ports from the United States cannot. Goodrich, accordingly, is simply looking ahead and taking the obvious, common sense step to mect this new situation. The city of Kitchener gains a nice new indus- try, Akron loses, and sundry American wage earners in Akron are going to find their jobs moved out from under them. 3 A man of a nasty, critical turn of mind might, con- | ceivably, inquire just how far the new law has protected these Akron rubber workers. At the same time, the cables bring significant news | from overseas. ! Stanley Baldwin, leader of England's conservative par- ty, has agreed to Lord Beaverbrook’s campaign for a British empire tariff wall, and it is probable that the next British election will be fought on this issue. The con- servatives plan to tear down the trade barriers between England and the dominions and build up barriers against the rest of the world—after which the barriers would be lowered for such nations as would lower their own tariff walls. Great Britain now buys more than $809,000,000 worth of American goods a year—chiefly foodstuffs. This trade, if the Beaverbrook plan goes over, will be largely trans- ferred to the dominions. Cables state flatly that the new American tariff law is giving the Beaverbrook campaign & great impetus. Our hypothetical critic, once more, might ask just how this is going to help the American farmer, for whom— theoretically—the,tariff was passed. At the same time, representatives of 14 European na- tions have met in Paris to consider ways and means of combating the American tariff. They are looking for- ward to an economic coalition that would do for ull of Europe what the Beaverbrook plan would do for the British empire—distribute to other producers the huge orders that are now being placed with America. . These signs of the times are just a shade disturbing. backfire on us? The Reason for Oil Waste The overproduction crisis in the petroleum industry results from the fact that in one important particular the industry differs from others. An oil field is jointly owned. by a number of operators. However, there is no such division of ownership in the oil pool underground. A single producer, owning but a small share of the land, could, if the others curtailed pro- duction, entirely drain the field, depriving others of their property. f ‘Therefore, when one producer drills, all who have an interest in the field must likewise drill, regardless of the law of supply and demand. A single irresponsible pro- ducer, representing only a small minority interest in a teld, can thus make inoperative all the efforts of the major producers to achieve conservation. * But one workable solution to the problem of competi- tive drilling drainage has been found, in the opinion of many experts—the unit system of operation. Under this fystem, control of a field is vested in a committee repre- | tive work along this line has come about during the last | , senting all the interests. The committee produces only as much oil as is needed to supply the market, keeping the balance underground in natural storage until called for by public demand. Our petroleum resources, no matter how large, are ir- replaceable. They must be intelligently used. To allow waste is economic folly and the public will take the con- sequences unless it is stopped. Saving the Babies i In these days of stock market crashes, drouth, and un- ; employment, it is interesting to note that one or two- things in the world are improving. The infant mortality | rate is one of them. According to a report just issued by | the American Child Health association, there were 66.2 | deaths among each thousand births during 1929. | Of course this number is far too large. Just one death | is an extravagant gesture. But when we consider the | fact that in spite of stock market crashes and drouth and | unemployment, the present rate ranks second to the low- est rate ever recorded for cities in the United States, | we appreciate our national progress. In 1927, during days of greater prosperity, the record rate was 64.9. Fifteen years the rate was near 100. Today it has fallen until it is only two-thirds of what it was just after | the World war started. We are appreciating, more and more, the sacrifice and cost which are involved in the creation of human life. As we grow more enlightened we are enacting laws for the promotion of the welfare and hygiene of matcrnity and infancy. It is interesting to note that a great deal of the Icgisla- ten years, since women have received the ballot. They are responsible to a large degree for the passage of the famous Sheppard-Towner act which established a feder- al bureau to carry on maternity research work and dis- seminate he!pful knowledge. So long as we are placing a high premium on life, en- deavoring to save it, and succeeding in that endeavor, our progress is upward. Other conditions will improve. They always have. If we can keep the health of the nation sound and continue to cut down the infant mortality rate, which used to be | - such a dragon in our forest, we are proceeding up the| mountain slope of achievement. We are not there, by any manner of means. Sixty-six and a fraction deaths from every thousand is far too many. “But we have the satisfaction of knowing that in spite of the economical bumps and bruises of the pres- PN RPT Today Is the \ On Aug. 18, 1587, Virginia Lest the Justice Department Overloo! | MAN WERE LOOKING: FOR To FEW POINTERS ON HOW ITS DONE! | GIVE US A 0) am Anniversary of | icc ———_—_4 VIRGINIA DARE'S BIRTH ———| knows to this day what became of it.

The New York Life Insurance company, although 11 makes no mention of Zara Agha, the Turk, now visiting | 2 in this country with a claim that he is 156, gives out| 2 that “the oldest case on record in any insurance com- y in the United States or Europe, so far as we are is that of a policyholder who lived to be 106." F Of course that might simply mean that those of the super-age class never felt the need of taking out life insurance and likewise failed to recognize its advantages as an invesment. However, the statement referred to continues: “Our actuarial department has invesiigated many persons who claim to have lived 110 years or more and in no case could find any adequate proof. In the majority of cases it has found that they have not at- tained even the century mark.” os Meanwhile the New York newspapers report that John R. Voorhis, president of the city board of elections, was | at his desk on the eve of his 101st birthday. The Potato Bug Travels (New York Evening Post) While we are worrying over Japanese beetles, let it not be forgotten that we are not the only nation suffer- doryphora, the Americaif potato bug. A petition signed by sixty-seven deputies from the rural districts describes twenty-seven ways of killing the insect, and official back- ing is sought to make the executions efiective. The | Petition is.also interesting because it states ss an acknowledged fact that the bugs first landed in Fraffe | in the supplies of the American army curing the war and first began to do damage in the Gironde depart- ment near ;the American war camps. Some of these days. it may be, civilized people the world ovér will be so busy fighting insects that they won't have time to fight one another. Good Steps—But Trsy’re Only Steps (Minneapolis Jow-nal) Taking note of the defeats so frequently sustainea by the forces of law in Minnesota in the never ending | battle with the forces of crime, the Minnesota Police | association has made a number of recommendations to the legislature. Among them are these: Triple the size-of the State Highway Patrol and increase the powers of its members in mak- ing arrests. ustabiish a State radio service and provide ten high powered radio equipped cars for crim- inal apprehension work under the supervision of the State Highway Patrol. Authorize police chiefs as well as sheriffs to call on the State Bureau of Criminal Apprehen- | sion for aid. i These would all be steps in the right direction—but | only steps. ¢ highway patrol now has no authority to make | arrests excepi tor violation of the traffic laws. A patrol-’ | man cannot apprehend a fleeing bank robber, unless in j his flight he breaks the highway laws. When’ the chief of the patrol and one of his men pursued and arrested bank robbers near Elk River some months ago, they had to explain apologetically that they were not on duty | at the time, but acted merely in their capacity as private | citizens, { The -‘xte bureau of criminal apprehension has been | - | similarly restricted by a timid legislature. When a bank is robbed or other crime of violence is committed, it cannot make a move unless the local sheriff asks for help. It is provided with insufficient funds and too| small a personnel. ‘ i These two agencies were authorized only after hard legislative battles. They were cabined, cribbed and con- fined by timid lecislators, who feared that somehow a real state constabulary would grow out of them. And now the polics o~~-“ization makes suggestions of enlargements that would be helpful, but would still " | fall short of meeting the crying need of the countrysides of Minnesota for protection from bandits and highway- men. \¢ Eventucily, Minnesota will have what it ought to have | —a state constabulary to grapple with crimes cf violence. \@ There is no other way to do the job efficiently.

It was originally @ native of Mexico and Central Amer- ica, where it is regarded as a staple food. It is now being grown very suc- cessfully in Florida and California. The flavor of the avocado is un- like that of any other fruit, since it is neither sweet nor sour, and its del- icate flavor becomes quite fascinating after one has become accustomed to it. The first taste is usually disap- pointing because it is so unlike the taste that is ordinarily associated with fruit. The avocado is picked when green and allowed to become meilow in stor- age. The fruit is just right tor eat: ing when the flesh yields tu a gentle pressure of the fingers and the pulp presents a consistency very much like that of butter. It is ric in vegetable oil, containing from about 10 per cent to 30 per cent, besides a considerable amount of protein and srganw: min- erals. The avocado is one.of che most nourishing foods and may be used at any meal, since .t combines with any other kind of food. Ii adas a pleas- ing variety to salads or as @ filling for sandwiches, and is even used as the basis of a delicious ice <reatm. One of the simplest but best ways tc use the avocado is to cut it lengunwise and serve a half portion to each person. No dressing is necessary except a little;salt if desired. The fruit should be soft énough to be readily eaten with @ spoon. Since it is so nourish- ing, it should be used either in small quantities, or as the principal part of @ meal. : This fruit varies greatly in size, the larger varieties weighing as much as four pounds. In all probability the single large seed that fills the center of the fruit will be decreased in the course of cultivation. The outer skin is tough and leather-like, varying in color, somg fruits being bright green and thin ‘skinned and others of a dark purple thick skin. There seems to be an endless va- riety of these fruits. About 180 va- rieties are at the present time being cultivated in California. Several of the original growers in California and Florida have made fortunes through it having always com- manded such a high price in the United States as to be used only by epicures. The avocado tree is one of the most beautiful evergreens that can grown in a semi-tropical climate.

His great bulk hung forward; he shambicd, bowed at tie shoulders. She thought he looked like a moun- tain about to tumble down. She was not quite sure that there was not a scrap of pity for him in her heart. She went back to the couch and sat down, her hands hanging spirit- less beside her. She had been false to what she had meant to do, She had meant to marry Gideon—for Chummy’s sake | She had meant to prove to Alan Steyne once aud for all that she was worthless and ready to sell ter- self for gold. That would have done the trick, she kuew. Steyne would have loathed and despised her, and would have turned to Chummy. But she couldn't bring herselt to do it when it came to the point. She was a coward—that was the truth, Her triumph was a failure, after all. With a tremendous sigh she went and tidied ber hair, changed her hat, put on a light wrap, and went downstairs, asking the hall porter to call her a cab. She was dua at one of the smaller concert halls at six o'clock. Gregor Gossteivitsch was coming there to a room that they had hired. He was bringing a (riend to play over to her certain parts of the “Suite Ecossaise” that he had composed for her.

But for the ingratitude of it, she} would have decided then and there not to give that dance. She felt all of a sudden that it would be un lucky, that ft would bring evil in its train. By the time she reached ler destination, she dreaded the! beautiful “Suite Ecossaise” as those given to superstition dread the evil eye, S it happened, the “Suite Ecos- ise” set the seal on Judy's ca- recr. The northern countrses went mad about it, There was something in that interpretation of hers, much claborated since she had tirst danced it a limproviste in Bruce Gideon’s music room, that aroused} a species of nervous enthusiasm tn the beholders. . Gossteivitsch went to Stockholm ; with her, and to Copenhagen, and to Christiania, and to several other towns {n the Scandinavian coun-| tries. He conducted bis music. The | two were on terms of the closest friendship. Judy warmed to the pisnist’s genius for life, as well as to his art. In many ways she found a kindred soul in him. Judy was very happy, as an artist must be when her work not only satisfies herself but delights the! public. Sie knew that she had; never cone anything better than the Scottish dance. She knew it Decawse it hurt her so much. Each time she danced it it hurt her more, when she closed her eyes and} thought of Alau's little house| among the Maine hills; and that} was always the moment that brought the house down. > Gossteivitsch told her one morn- ing that he had heard from Gideon. He had been ill, and was at Aix les Bains. Quite suddenly, one day, Gideon appeared, it was about six weeks later, and Judy was dancing in Ber gen. Gossteivitsch was leaving the party, as he had news of the seri- ous illness of his mother, who lived (n Rome. He came in one morning to Judy’s sitting room, with his customary bunch of flowers, and told ber that Gideon was with a party of yachtsmen who bad put into the port for a tew hours. “He has offered to take’ me across to Hull, mademoiselle.” he ex- Dlained. “It will be the quickest way, for there ‘s no boat until to- morrow, and they are leaving this evening.” “I shall miss you, monsieur,” she answered warmly, “And [ do hope you will find your mother better.” She did not even mention Gideon,| about her. = 80 the pianist returned to the sub-} Judy refused to dance the “Suite i" Ject.

The price of the avocado will always be a little higher than other fruits because of the delicacy of han- dling which it requires, but this dif- ference in price need not be seriously considered when it is known that the avocado is more nourishing in health- giving and blood-building qualities than any fruit grown. Some reduc- tion in price will undoubtedly occur when more groves come ingo bearing so that this wholesome fruit may find its place in every home. QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ‘ Hair on Face Question: D.
