A—10 » TARIFF VALUATION T0BEAIRED IAN. 3 Commission Will Examine Conflicting Views on Va- rious Methods. By the Associated Press. Sharply conflicting views on a funda« mental of the American tariff system, the method of fixing values of articles on which duties are levied, will be aired January 30 by the Tariff Commission. Members said today they hoped to complete a report on the subject be- fore the end of President Hoover's term so he may make recommenda- tions to Congress if he desires. The base for the assessment of ad valorem rates of duty on imports most commonly used in this country is the foreign value of the commodity. Cost of production and other studies are often required to determine it. On a few imports the “American value” method has been employed as the base and this method has received increasing support. This method provides that the base | shall be the selling price in the United States of the domestic article sold in competition with the imported article. ‘The Hawley-Smoot bill specified the use of this method in the case of goal-tar products. It has also been applied re- cently in the case of certain prism bi- noculars and during the last decade on taximeters, rag rugs and a number of | chemical products. ‘The Hawley-Smoot act called for a study of the American valuation method :;nd this has been underway for some ime. It has been said that application of the method with the present scale of duties unchanged would have the effect of increasing many tariffs from three ' to five times. Effects of depreciation in the value of foreign currencies since the passage of the Hawley-Smcot bill also will be siudied. Two cther methods of assessment will also be considered. One measures the cost of a commodity landed at a dock of the importing country and includes the foreign price plus ~transportation | April and other charges. The other method ascertains the selling price in the United States of the imported article plus duty and other charges.

MUCH TIME REQUIRED TO FIX SNEEZING CAUSE Mayo Clinic Bacteriologist Is Con- P: ducting Experiments With Rabbits. d By the Associated Press. ROCHESTER, Minn., January 20. ‘Weeks or perhaps months may be re quired betore any definite results are obtained in the experiments being con- ducted at Mayo Clinic to determine the cause of sneezing, Dr. E. C. Rosenow, bacteriologist, said last night. Rabbits have been inoculated with germs taken from the blood of Dais: Jost, 15-year-old Chippewa Falls, Wis. girl, who apparently was recovered to. day after a sneezing attack that lasted 10 days. “We don't know vet how to interpret the reactions of the rabbits, although the germs were injected .several days 8go,” Dr. Rosenow said. “It is entirely a new series of tests and for that reason probably will take a long time to get concrete results. However, we hope to discover the form of streptococcus that causes sneezin; BORDER AGREEMENT SEEN MEXICO CITY, January 20 (@)— Denial of recent published reports here that the newly announced deviations of the Rio Grande River might indicate increased differences with the United Btates over the ownership of the Ch mizad sector was given yesterday by Fo eign Minister Puig Casauranc when he stated that satisfactory negotiations are continuing between Mexico and the United States on that question.

Need for Publication. “There are peculiar reasons why such a magazine should be published,” he writes. “One of the conspicuous rea- sons that we urge is the need for more of unity and solidarity in our life as a church. The very fact that many of our parishes and institutions gre ex- periencing great difficulties during these critical days makes it imperatively nec- essary that a finer spirit of co-operation should be effected throughout the di- ocese.” ‘The magazine will be published 10 times a vear, under the direction of the diocesan department of publicity, of which Rev. Clyde Brown, rector of is chairman. Assisting him are Rev. William R. Moody. rector of St. Mark's Church; Rev. Dr. D. Wellington Curran, executive secretary of the diocese; Dr. T. B.

CHICAGO, January 20.—If Sol Feld- man dies of bullet wounds, Dr. A. J. Chesrow believes the coroner would be justified in writing a verdict that| “death was due to superstition.” Feldman, the police say, is an asso- clate of Margaret Mary Collins, called “the kiss of death” because seven of her {friends, including Dion O'Banion, have died violent deaths. ‘Wounded by a gollee bullet, Feldman was taken to a hospital in November, but recently. was discharged, only to be taunted by his companions. “Better watch out” they sald. “Re- member what happened to Dion O'Ban- ion and Johnny Phillips and Gene McLaughlin.” Feldman grew worse. Last night he was taken back to the hospital. “Apparently,” said Dr. Chesrow, “the idea had begun to prey upon his mind and resulted in shock which has low- ered his vitality. This reduced his resistance to the poisoning in his system. , G. U. AND YALE FRESHMEN WILL DEBATE ON TARIFF Two Senators and Jurist Will Judge Contest in Gaston Hall Tonight.
