But many of the new sales taxes already imposed, he said, “are difficult of ad- ministration and not particularly pro- ductive.” “Some.” he declared, “arel inequitable and unjustifiable in their present form.” “That the budget should be bal- anced,” the Secretary declared, “is not open to dispute. No matter how good | its credit, no government can afford to £0 on living beyond its means year after year. It is demoralizing. Such a prac- tice runs cpunter to the fundamental principles that should govern the man- agement of the pubic business.

BY THOMAS R. HENRY. The pale, white shadow of the blessed damozel walks the halls of the Library of Congress, The famous manuscripts, believed identical with those which the English oet, Dante Gabriel Rossetti, had uried in his wife's coffin, have come to light again, nearly a century after- ward, in the library vaults and have just been placed on exhibition for the first time. Perhaps no other manuscripts on earth have had so weird a history as these time-yellowed sheets, containing verse of the Vic- torian era, which the grief-stricken poet gathered up on the day of his wife's funeral amd placed upon her breast—intending to sacrifice his fame to the departed inspiration of his genius, Had Been His Inspiration. The “blessed damozel” was dead. She it was whom Rossett! had pictured “leaning over the gold bar of heaven” in the most famous of his poems. She had been the inspiration of both his poetry and his painting. He had loved her sincerely, yet he had treated her spitefully at times. In the storm of remorse that overwhelmed him as he looked into her dead face, the poet was unable to endure the prospect that his fame should rest upon her sacrifice These poems—including the bulk of the famous sonnet sequence, “The House of Life"—never had been pub- lished. ~Rossetti, however, had shown and read them to his friends, including less romantic brother, Willlam Michae! Rossetti. As the years passed, his grief became less poignant and he listened to their solicitations that the coffin be exhumed and the verses pub- lished Came Here 15 Years Ago. This was done. The work itself be- came a part of English literature and immortalized Rossetti as one of the great poets of his age. The later his- tory of the manuscripts themselves is obscure. They evidently passed to the hands of some dealer in the disposal of Rossetti's effects after his death. They came to the Library of Congress about 15 years ago in some material obtained from Charles E, Freer, the Detroit millionaire, who afterward do- nated the Freer Gallery here and his collection of paintings. The yellowing manuscripts have lain in the vaults until now, when their actual identity was realized. Actually “The Blessed Damozel” itself Is not one of the manuscripts, Rossetti had written and published this more than 10 years before his wife's death in the magazine The Germ, which was launched as the organ of the pre- Raphealite brotherhood of painters, of which he was one of the founders, and of which four issues were printed He placed these issues of The Germ in the coffin, together with his manu- script poems, but they already had had a limited distribution. Sister Believed Prototype. The chief claim of The Germ to immortality lies in the fact that ong of its issues contained “The Blessed Damozel.” 1t is not at all certain that the prototype of this figure actually was Mrs. Rossetti. There is a greater likelihood that it was the poet's sister. But tradition has inextricably identi- fied his dead wife with the picture of the lately released spirit whose face was like “waters stilled at even.” The manuscripts found in the Library of Congress, together with the copies of The Germ- include about 30 of the “House of Life” sonnets. Rossetti is known to have added a few after the manuscripts were exhumed, but these fall in about the middle of the series, s0 it is highly probable that they are from the grave collection. GIRL, 15, IS RECOVERING FROM SNEEZING MALADY Who for Nature Outwits Physicians, Vainly Sought Cure Strange Illness. By the Associated Press. CHIPPEWA FALLS. Wis, January 17.—Nature was outwitting medical sci- ence today in the case of Daisy Jost, 15- year-old orphan, who was slowly recov- ering at St. Joseph's Hospital from a strange sneezing malady. Physicians, who vainly sought a cure for the affliction, admitted the recu- perative power of a strong, young body was performing the task for them. As the number of sneezes a minute dimin- { ishes, the chances of determining the cause also becomes less. When Daisy entered the hospital last Tuesday she was sneczing one to four times a inute. During waking mo- ments of yesterday and last night the sneezes occurred only at intervals of 15 to 20 minutes. A OHIO YOUTH, 17, LINKED ITO SERIES OF ROBBERIES Suspect Seized at Elizabeth, N.

A bill designed to prevent foreign bidders and producers from selling their goods and construction materials in Government buildings and works was approved in the House yesterday by a vote of 150 to 18 Speaker Garner, the Vice President- elect, invoked the drastic procedure of suspension of the House rules for the bill’s consideration Sponsored by Representative Wilson, Demrocrat, of Louisiana, the bill spe- cifically directs the use of American products in all Federal building and works, including Hoover Dam on the Colorado River. Exemptions were made in the case of articles for scientific use and when there are no domestic commodities or supplies of the type needed. It is also applicable to the Territories and pos- sessions. Celler Opposes Measure, Purchasing officers also could buy { other than American-made goods if it was decided that compliance with the law would be unreasonable or incon- sistent, with public interest. These pur- the controller general In opposing the measure, Representa- tive Celler, Democrat, told the House it “comes as the time when the world is suffering from tariff barriers and debt complications.” “We are trying to find some solution for these things”" he said. “Foreign countries will take this as a slap in the face. It will bring reprisals.” “I understand,” Representative La Guardia. Republican, of New York sald “that almost all other governments have some such restricticns now Millions in Benefits Seen. Representative Wilson said the meas- ure would give “millions of dollars to American manufacture and workmen.” “The law will cost the American tax- payers millions of dollars,” Representa- tive Stafford, Republican, of Wisconsin replied. “I cite a concrete example Not a ton of steel is produced in this country without the use of foreign manganese. You would raise the cost of steel to this Government. The bill is incapable of application.” Tre provisions giving discretion in buying other than American products would answer all arguments against the measure, Representative Cochran, Dem- ocrat, of Missouri said.
