RAISES IN TARIFF ARE BEING PARED Senate Finance Committee Re- ducing Rates, Leaks Tndicate Washington, Aug. 10 (@ Al- {hough “the republican tariff fram- ers of the senate finance commit- tee are consistently withholding authoritative statements as to the neral trend of rate changes they making, news of reductions in the imposts voted the house continues to trickle of their guarded work-room. Downward revision of a the increases proposed in the house bill on which they are work- ing already have heen disclosed These affect chiefiy industrial prod- ue his has been offset, as far as the far from complete information made available to the public is con- cerned, by only a few increases on commodities mainly agricultural in nature. Work on Wool Schedule The controversial wool schedule, however one of the latest e amples of the committee’s activi- ties -along the line of shearing in- creases off the house bill. In that hill,, the rate on raw wool was placed three cents higher than in the present fariff law; that is. at 54 cents a pound instead of 31. The cenate committeemen put it back t 31 cents. At the same time, they have restored the hou se on fie duties, one of the products they are known cut. In the information which seeped out about the wool schedule. it was not made clear whether changes were made in the house rates on manufactured wool. The house voted increases in these duties all along the line fto compensate for the yaise voted in the raw wool impos The indication was that the com- mitteemen had virtually finished with the wool schedule, but no sign was given whether they were still considering or planned to act later on a proposal by Henry Scheel, vice of the Botany Worsted Mills of Passaic. N. J. that dif- ferences in labor costs here and abroad be made the hasis for these rates Regarded as a new idea in tarif making. Scheel's plan was laid be- fore the sub-committee which con- ducted hearings on the schedule. and two of the republican members. Bingham of Connecticut, and Sackett, of Kentuc un- derstood to be giving it serious con- sideration. LONE TREE by out number of is new to have president y. are 15 AL LEFT OF ATLANTIS: | merous windows French Geologist Finds Gnarled Remuant of “Lost Continent” 10 (UP) A sticky- with bitter fruit, is all that remains today of the fabulous lost continent of Atlantis, according 16 Pierre Mille, noted French geolo- giét. He declares this tree still srows in Morocco, Madeira, the Azores and the Canary Tslands, Writing in the Depeche Colonial Mille asserts that the hardiness of this' tree, which can flourish in sandy ars with almost no water, is wh enabled it to survive the span of centuries while all other flora and fauna of this legendary land were wiped away. The techni- cal name of the tree is argan but it is more commonly called by the peo- ple who have seen it ironwood. The fact that the tree is found in the world which ¥rench geologists generally agree either hounded or formed part of the At- Jantis described by Plato and Bacon is given as cvidence that it must once have flourished in more bril- liant form amidst the luxuriant foli- age of the lost continent. Mille ex- plains that the argan, dwarfed ind embittered by its struggle for exist- ence, is now so crooked that it often resembles a serpent. The argan is similar to an tree except that the berry is a dark- green and its taste is bitter.
