Custom House officials said -terday, when
the dealers aired their complaint on that sub
ject
According to Treasury Department regula-
tions made under the new tariff law that paint

should be duty free, the importer of such paint
ings must i'll in a blank which gives among
other things. the date of production. This the
dealers say is impossible in many cases of un-
doubted 'old masters and they say they are
being delayed on such importations until the
papers in the case have been passed upon by the
Washington authorities.
At the Custom House yesterday it was stated
that while the blank form complained of was
used no such delay would occur in the case of
importations of genuine 'od masters" even
though it might be impossible to determine the
exact date There are nearly S1.0OO,OOO worth

paintings Yesterday valued together at more
than 800 OO0-one a Rembrandt the other Of
the French modern school-upon producing
papers satisfying the Collector that the pictures
were genuine and produced more than twenty

plained by the abolition Of the duty on such inn
portations.
Some dealers and customs-brokers insisted
YESTERDAY that all their imports of paintings
we're being delayed by the red tape" of sending
the papers in such cases to Washington but the
authorities here say that only papers relating to

Adopts Helpful Motto
Dear Aunt Laurie:

Dear Aunt Laurie:
Though there are many good maxms
I think the one that is best to follow
is, He viii be happy who makes others
happy"
/ take this attitude because this truth
can be proved wherever you go. A
man who lives a selfish life is sure to
be a sour pessimist, while one who
thinks of others happiness is sure to
be happy himself. A man who is so
busy with business affairs that he can
not take time to give "a kind word to
some poor struggler or who cannot take
time from his newspaper of an even
ing to enjoy sympathetic chat with
his wife or n game with his children
is almost sure to be an uncomfortable
individual. The poor man who after
performing an honest days labor goes
home and spends a happy, unselfsh
evening with his family knows more
of real happiness than the other man.
In reviewing the lives of some great
men those who will be remembered
longest are those who have unselishly
devoted their lives to the bettefment
of mankind. AS an Illustration of this
point I would cite the late Edward
Everett Hale During his life he is
always known to have aided those in
need no matter at what Inconvenience
to himself, and now his books remain
to fulfill his desire to help others.
Though there are many other men
who were happy because they made
others happy and though there are
other goor maxims none of these ex-
amples or maxims will be of any use
TO us unless we follow examples they
set before us.
| think that this motto would be
good one for every Junior to follow, for
by so doing we can take away from
this world an ounce of discomfort and
add an ounce of cheer thus making
this world a pleasanter place for its
inhabitants.
As ever / remain your loving niece,

THOUGHT FOR OTHERS
MAKES KIND GIRLS
(Honorable Mention)

Dear Aunt Laurie:
AM going to tell you about my
fayorite adage. My favorite adage
Il is, do unto others as you would
have others do unto you" If every
body would practice this rule the peo-
pie in this world would get along a
whole lot better than they do.
Some people lose their temper be-
cause somebody or something doesn't
go right
Some girls make fun of other girls
because they haven't such nice clothes
as they have. They make fun of their
dresses and the width of their hair
ribbons The girl might be poor and
not able to have nice clothes. If they
were in her place they would feel very
much hurt.
Some boys won't let other boys play
games with them because they think
they are not good enough for them.
These boys will learn better sometime.
In most cases the poorer girls and
boys are the truest, kindest and best
companions for anyone. If girls and
boys, as well as older persons, would
practice this rule, they would be kinder
and truer, and have many more
friends ALINE KAGE.

Thorouehness Is Best

Dear Aunt Laurie:
My favorite adage or maxim is:
Work while you work.
Play while you play:
That is the way to be cheerful and gay.
All that you do.
DO with your might.
Things done by halves,

Now, think if one lived up to that
there would be little need of others,
although there are others, I suppose.

about everything.
Now. you ask why? Well. If you
work while you work you will get
done, and then you can play. If your
work is done you will have nothing
to do. Then do the thing the best you
