What are Chamois skins7

The Board of United States General
Appraisers at New York has officially
decided that sheepskins split and dressed
as channels skins are really the channels
skins of commerce, being bought and
sold as such, and that they are, there
fore, dutiable as such at 90 per cent ad
valJrem. The importers claimed that
the skins were split leather and should
pay duty of n per cent as such. That
they were split sheepskins the apprais-
ers admitted and said: But they have
been dressed and finished as chamois
skins, and the importers theory seems
to be that because they are not from the
skins of antelope they are not, there
fore, dutiable under the provision for
channels skins in paragraph Ash"
1t was established by the witnesses ex
amined that there is rarely. if ever, any
genuine dressed chamois skin imported
into this country; that the split dressed
sheepskins are generally recognized and
sold as chamois; that among the uses of
chamois are the making of gloves, vests,
dress protectors, and the washing of
carriages.

saving Lumber.

Everyone who has ever used lumber
even in a limited way, knows that it
always comes in even lengths,-that is
twelve feet, fourteen feet, sixteen feet
long, and 80 forth. It has never been
possible to go to lumber yard and buy
a thirteen foot board, or one II feet long
If you wanted one II feet long, you had
to buy 10 foot board and saw off the
extra foot, which was then of no use to
you. The National Lumber Manufac-
turers' Association finally discovered
that there was no good reason for this
system, and in 1909 it adopted resolu.
tions favoring the manufacture of odd
length flooring, ceiling, drop and bevel
siding, finish. partition and moulding.
Then the manufacturers on the Pacific
coast began to make the odd lengths,
and finally the Forest Service of the
Department of Agriculture has taken
UP the subject and has Issued bulletin
showing that this practice saves 2 OF per
cent of material which heretofore was
wasted. This is practical sort of con-
which everyone can ap.
preciate.
