By the Associated Press OMAHA, Nebr, October 27.—Agreed | enly on one point—that the Smoot- Hawley tariff law about which they are | arguing will be the issue in another Jong fight in Congress—Senator L.

The Republican policy is one of rotection for the entire Nation and all workers.” The charge of destruction of foreign trade, laid by his opponent against the tariff act, was termed “ridiculous” by Dickinson. He said “our proportion of the imports last year” of 19 leading countries comprising America's leading customers was almost exactly 20 per cent and the preliminary reports for 1021 showed almost the same figures. This proportion, he said, represented a Joss of but seven-tenths of one per cent in foreign trade as represented by the mormal period, 1024-1927. ‘The debates, results of an interchange of challenges between the two Senators, opened Saturday night in Sioux City, Jowa.

The Winter of 1828 was & gay season in Washington. There was & dance nearly every night, attended by nearly everybody of note. The girls went home happy if their escorts were skillful enough not to get tobacco julce on their dresses while dancing Such is the picture of Washington soclety that Winter contained in a col- lection of manuscript letters just se- cured by the Division of Manuscripts of the Library of Congress. They were written by Mrs. Basil Hall, wife of the English traveler and author, who spent a few weeks here and didn't like the muddy, cold little town on the Potomac | any better than she liked anything else in_the United States. Mrs. Hall wrote a letter nearly every day to her sister in England. She wes an unsympathetic observer, but obi- ously the letters came from her heart and her almost exclusively social inter- ests caused the inclusion of many illus- trative details of early life in the Capi- tal which would have been passed over { by anybody writing for publication. Disgusted With U. S On the whole, Mrs. Hall was thor- oughly disgusted with Americans and everything American. Of Washington | as of all the other American towns she visited, she wrote her sister that she | was happy to leave and left nothing be- |hind that she regretted. | Stil] there were pleasant incidents President John Quincy Adams, referred to by Mrs. Hall's governess as “the King | of Washington, or the nearest thing to a king they've got here.” took a fancy to her little daughter and gave her a lock of his gray hair as a parting pres- ent. Besides, she liked some of the Diplomatic Corps, and she found Henry Clay a splendid gentleman. She visited John Law, the English- | man who invested and lost so heavily | in Washington real estate, and whom she respected, because he was of an English noble family. He invited her to his country place, five miles out of | town, and gave her “a little belt of cop- | per and zinc with a plece of flannel be- | tween, which I am to wet with salt and | water and apply to the forehead when I have a headache.” Navy Ball Described. ‘The Secretary of the Navy gave a ball at his home, to which she was in- was walking upstairs my to clear his throat.
