Senator Smoot looked as if he couldn t

additional admonition.
The senator from Iowa rubbed il in,
after Senator Burrows, who tried TO ey-

doing Smoot a favor by suggesting that
he sit down. Mr., Cummins explained
that the Utah senator had wandered so
far afcld in his attempted explanation
of tariff schedules that it was an act OF
mercy te open an avenue of escape for

Senator CummIns was discussing the
tariff and expressed the opinion that
some member of the finance committee
ought to explain why the duty on oil
cloth had been raised 100 per cent.
