Short plugs Of peculiar metallic com.

which Is divided into sixteen squares,

These plugs are set with one end un-

them. The other ends are exposed to
the open air and sheltered from the
SUMS rays.
In the whole frame there are 976
plugs. The difference in the temper

plugs, one being in the direct rays Of

HANDSOME TROPHIES
FOR FLAG SECTION
Parade Officials Hope for
Many Entrants for This
Division.

When the committee on arrange

automobile floral parade holds its meet
ing next week, a movement VIII be set
on foot looking toward the securing Of
as many cars as possible for the flag
section of the parade, according to a
statement made today by Chairman
Isaac Cans.
Two weeks ago Commissioner Macfar-
land suggested the idea of a flag section,
the feature OF which is TO have flags fly
ing free rather than made secured in the
form OF drapery around the cars. The
suggestion met with favor from the
start. IT IS now most favorablv re-
garded, since II IS fairly certain that
there Is to be big representation Of
Government machines in the pageant.
The decorating Of cars with flags does
not involve such a heavy expense. but
such a plan requires more ingenuity
and a keener understanding Of decora-
tive art For this reason. according TO
Mr.. Cans. in the allotment OF prizes to
the different sections of the parade an

FRENCH MAXIMUM
TARIFF NOT FEARED
Treasury Experts Say Amer
lea Pays Highest Rates
Now.

The United States Government will
not lie awake nights on account of
reports that are coming from Paris
to the effect that the French govern
ment will put he maximum tariff rates
IN force. against this country when the
existing commercial agreement ends.
October 81. Dispatches today say that
it is the intention of the French to
enforce the maximum rats
Acting Secretary of the Treasury Rey-
nolds today said that the French max
imum rates already are levied by France
on most articles shipped there from
this country. The American goods en-
titled to the minimum rates include
canned meats. fresh and dried fruits,
woods paving blocks. slaves, hops.
manufactured and prepared park meats,
lard and its compounds, and dried ap-
pies and pears.
The maximum rates are assessed by
the French now on all other articles
sent from the United States. It is ap-
parent that the general application Of
the maximum rates cannot seriously af-
feet American bu siness interests.
Mr.. Reynolds points to the operation
of the tariff on agricultural machinery
as an instance of how the French maxi
mum tariff works. Americans send
about S5,000,O00 annually Ia agricultural
machinery to France. 1t pays the maxi
mum rate, an advance of about ~ per
cent on the sale price. This is impor-
tant when IT is considered France has
