RATE MUST NOT
EXCEED l.25
Famous Conference Has Come to a
Close and Now it is Up To the Pres
ident to Ratify or Reject Their
Recommendations. ..

WASHINGTON, July 29.-After
working for nearly three weeks at
what proved to be one of the longest
and most anxious tasks ever aXperl.
enced in tariff building, the majority
members of the conference bill
brought their labors to a sudden close
at o'clock last night
All day long the conference had
struggled with the question of bring
ing down the house rates on gloves,
and the senate rates on lumber to
figures they felt would meet with eX-
ecutive approval. In this effort they
failed
Lumber was made dutiable at rates
only a little below those named by
the senate bill, and there was a very
slight shading from the house rates
on gloves of good quality. Although
1T was not admitted by the conferees,
the general impression drawn from
the hurried trip to Fort Meyer was
that Messrs. Aldrich and Payne had
been authorized in the conference re-
port such figures as could be agreed
upon with the president, insofar as
they came within range of what the
leaders think will be acceptable in
the house and senate.
It was announced tally that the
Democratic members Oh the confer
ence committee would be called in
session today.
In view of President Taft's utter.
ance, the senate and house leaders
were predicting that the conference
rates on gloves and lumber would not
prove satisfactory to him.
1t required a roll call to fix the rates
on lumber, which are as follows:
Lumber, rough. $1.40 a thousand
feet. The senate differentials were
adopted.
\ Gloves were made duitable at rates
considerably in advance of the duties
fixed by the senate bill, which for
the most part We're the same as the
Dingley rates.

CORK DUST USED
IN MAKING PILLOW

One need not necessarily use the
old reliable feathers or down in pillows.
for there are many substitutes which
have proved somewhat satisfactory
For instance. the cork dust used in
packing fruit will make n fairly good

grocer's or fruit dealers. Wash the
dust with water and spread II out in
the sun 10 dry thoroughly before using.

ROUND NECK SEEN
IN THEATER FROCK

The round neck will be seen often on
the handsome theater frocks which the
debutantes will wear, as it is a happy
medium between the formality OF the
decollette evening frock and the con-
ventia1 high-necked gown. With these
frocks the large picture hats are worn,
in general, topped with plumes caught
by a handsome buckle or trimmed with
some of the exquisite blossoms which
make of the milliner's shop an artificial
conservatory of rare value. The crepe
meteors, cashmere de sole and its al

kerosene prevents II from rusting after

Care must be taken that the painted

come into contact with the powder, as
Il may eat OF the paint. The kitchen
sink should be cleaned as thoroughly
as this twice week, and every day
carefully rinsed out with hot soapsuds.
