In their opposition they ‘ttempt to enlist the sympathies of consumers of Jemons, among whom might be counted the pone is of operatives enzaged in production of window glass. West coast importers of window glass are no less 0} to protective rates on that commodity an they would welcome the aid of lemon producers jn placing window glass on the free list. For ae the W. P.

Perhaps they placed order above cited, which totals 6,500,000 square et of window glass. On the other hand, the Italian . ‘of commer, in New York City, which is inter- in Palermo lemons, accused the California lemon of “venturing into fancy valuation of their in order to rnise the cost of production. Now, what would be gained if the eastern industry ere induced to view the tariff on lemons as “throuch a giass darkly,” while the Western industry contrib- tuted lemon aid to the movement for free trade in giass? Possibly the man in the mill would be able to purchase his lemons more cheaply for a brief time, ‘and the man on the farm might save a few cents by fighting his house with Belgian panes. But when the gisss factory and the lemon farm had been put out of business the operatives in both industries would he ruined «nd the people of the entire country would pay trifute to Italian and Belgian monopolies. According to the admissions of opponents of pro- tection to the Iemon industry, that industry made remarkable strides in development under protection. And that the window glass industry has been built up under that policy is well known. American wages and production costs in both industries are much higher than they are in Europe. The importers want free trade in order that they may get the profits from monopolizing the business. The academic free traders might well direct their now misguided phil- anthropies toward improving the living and wage standards of European laborers. The hearings on window glass and on lemons held by the congressional committees are rife with testi- mony by employers and employes alike, that they ¢xnnot meet European selling costs and continue in usiness. That applies to other American industries, factory and farm, as well. But what is vitally nec- essary is to stick together on the protective policy and not permit the importing interests to drive a wedge tetween the farmers and the factory men, while all sections should work together for the perpetuation of the protective policy. The Southern Tariff associa- tion realizes this, and is one of a number of organ- Gzations working to secure nation-wide co-operation| plong this line. The enemies of protection are ever! flert to take advantage of a rift in the ranks of the &dvocates of protection to American industries. ‘ —_- Foreigners Get The Freight HAIRMAN LASKER, of the shipping board, holds A* no doubt that the activity of government owned Bhips in the ocean carr: trade is checking private) lenterprise and works a handicap in securing for America the proportion of ocean commerce which is| her due as a great facturing and maratime nation. + Past experiences in government ownership and| government management have been sufficiently bitter| to warn the present administration to get out of the enterprises private initiative which has so lone dem-| onstrated it can direct to the higher advantage of all concerned. | Mr. Lasker has made a statement on the subject of oceah shipping which is of interest to the entire country, regardless of whether you are a dweller upon the sea coast or in the interior. He says: “For December, vhich represents a recent normal month, foreign ships carried 76 per cent of our over-| seas gencral cargoes and 24 per cent was left to be) carried in American ships. This 24 per cent measured our success in competing against foreign nations for| the carriage of our products to the markets of the world. Of the 24 per cent’ 19 per cent was carried in shipping board vessels and 5 per cent by private American owners. “It must be the purpose and the aim of America, @nd the shipping board emphasizes its belief that this! im can be accomplished. to carry at least 50 per! ent of our foreign trade, other than with contig-' Gous and nearby countries, under the American flag it is not a matter for negotiation with the United States. directed not to remit 2 dollar. Argentine government the sum of about $125,000; if both fire and marine insurance, about $170,000. qn addition, the registration fees and annual license privately operated. The suggestions made ta the con- gress by the president contemplate withia a decade, at the cost estimated by him, that 50 per cont of such trade will be carried under the American flag pri- vately operated “Of the 24 per cent of world carriage in American bottoma here referred to. it is appalling to ¢hink that 19 per cent is carried in government owned ships and only 5 per cent in privately owned ships, when it is considered that the government, through the shipping board, admits its inability to opemte on an equally efficient basis in competition with the private ships | of the world. “Fifty miltion dollars annuolly it is costing te keep the shipping board boats going—fifty million dollars, not including, however, interest. full insurance, or depreciation on invested capital. “We believe that the present operation by the shipping board is fast approaching as efficient an operation as government car give. But any free com- petition with the privately owned shipping of the world, through successful government operation, the shipping board avers is an impossibility. | “The restrictions of congressional legislation, the! demands of varying sections of the country. the limita- tions on free play from which private business does | not suffer, make it impossible for government owned shipping to compete with the private ships of the “world.” Fk Borrowed From Sports Page | ss]]JTOW DRACONIAN was the punishment inflicted} on Babe Ruth by the Hon.

The Yankee| pitchers project opposing batsmen into the doldrums. All this goes on while the Babe, by the imperial order of Judge Landis, sits in the stand as idle as a painted ship or plays gloomy golf. “As if that was not bad enough from the Ruthian| viewpoi=t, the news from the west is worse. A person! named Kenneth Williams, who patrols the sinister| garden for the St. Louis Browns, has more home runs thus far this season than the Bambino accomplished in the same number of days last year. He is pastin the old pill for fair, as Shakespeare would have sai if these times had been his times. So Mr. Ruth, with three weeks of suspension to come, is faced by a threatening rival at the very moment when it seems that his own club can play ball nicely without him.| What is Solomon beside Kenesaw?” Sennen Mme a new ARE seem aE TALL <6) oT-Reid ; Settin’ By the Fire Fire's gettin’ kinder low and the | soft an’ ruddy glow, keeps me settin’| rather late, wate by the dyin’ Civil Service grate.

Phone 875-J They A Laughed ‘E had always been friends, Tom and I— ever sitce that day, long ago, when he had fought Ralph Curran for the ae ilege of carrying my books home from school. We had been inseparable companions through- out our school days. And when the time came for him to leave for college, I hid in my room cried for two whole hours. Tom wrote to me only once while he was at college, one little note in the very beginning that told me he had arrived safely and that it was not very pleasant to be a freshman. And then silence—four long years of silence when only the enthusiastic reports of his mother revealed how popular he had become. Soon I began to wonder whether I had really ever known this Tom at all—this popular, foot- ball hero Tom whom the village folks spoke of with such pride. And I began to look for- ward to the day when he would come back— @ graduate! One day I met Rose in Daly’s store. “Did you see Tom?” she asked. “He just got back from college.” I could not restrain the warm flush that quickly spread over my face. “Yes?” I said, trying to appear indifferent—but I hurried away so that she could not see how eager I really that the school-boy I used to know had dropped out of my life forever, and in his place was this glowing young man who seemed to be the in- carnation of all that is cultured, polished and well-bred. “Having a little party at my house Sunday,” he was saying, “some friends I made at college. I'd like to have you come, too. You'll come, won't you?” he added eagerly. “I—I think so,” I answered. I was elated when I found that no one in the town had been invited to Tom's party ex- cept me. Only pis college chums were going to be there, and I just knew that I’d have a wonderful time. The first thought that came to me, of course, was “what shall I wear?” That started me wondering whether a num- ber of friends at a party was a formal or an informal affair. I began to wish that I knew just what the other girls would wear—what thesproper and correct thing was— en the day of the party arrived I was excited—and perhaps just the least little bit proud. Rose came hurrying in early in the afteriivon to tell me that two of the prettiest and most stylish girls she had ever seen had just gone into Tom’s house. And I was to be there, too, I told myse!{ happily! No wonder was. I was ail a-quiver when the time came to yo. So Tom was back again, Would he remem- i ber me? Would we be friends again as we A Serious Blunder used to be? I began to wonder—and dream— And then, off to Tom's, confident that I could Then I saw Tom! I knew him right away, “hold my own” even ariong the most fashionable of although he had. grown tall and broad and poce"S': waiting for me. “Come on in and be in- handsome. He knew me, too, in spite of my troduced?’ he greeted. e y it was the dazzling beauty of this unaccus- tomed scene. Or it may have been the many strange faces turned. to tucked-up curls and lengthened skirts. “Well, if it isn’t little Freckles!” he grinned (he had re ward me in curiosity. But it all hap. always called a Freckles). “Haven't changed feaed, 9 uickly sek bi apes even Fralize tt enti T i you’ i jooked at Tom and notice? that lie glanced abrupt! son ae are oe Po aaUne 7m [youn ' acy. I realized then the terrible blunder in etiquette We Begin a New, Friendship Well, if I hadn't changed, Tom certainly had. His walk, his speech, his very manner had a new buoyancy, a new animation, that found in me an immediate response, I felt suddenly me. T had never gone to college and learned all about ywhat was correct to do and say and wear. No one had ever bothered to teach me. and I had never read about it anywhere. Oh. if T had only read a good book ca ctiguctic thig would never bars kappened! at Me Later, I saw an_annotmcement about the famous Book of Etiquette ,and immediately sent for it, Before Ihad finished one chapter, I found out how I could have avoided that ter- rible blunder I had made. It made everything so clear and concise that I just knew that I could never make that mistake again. And soon I found that I had been making other breaches in etiquette. Why, I actually didn't know how to correctly introduce two people to each other! I didn’t know whether it were proper for. me to shake hands with a gentleman upon being introduced to him, and whether it were proper for me to stand up or ret ‘main seated.
