Society has resolved itself into a state of midsummer auietude; after a prolonged season of gayety there is every indiea- tion that the two months Of real summer in Birmingham will pass almost without incident There are small porch parties daily, and the tedium of two afternoons a week is relieved by q charming al fresco party for the members Of the Country club; .congenial groups of folk gather for the eyer-popular bridge, usual ly in the evening but often for a morning game followed by luncheon; it is quito fashionable to attend the baseball games, and there are many women who are au- thorities on the game, so tbat when the team returns to Birmingham for a se- ries society is in evidence; the University club gives it bi-monthly dances and the Southern club is the scene of daily gayety during the luncheon hour and frequented | by many on Sunday evening, but as,Je from this nothing brilliant will occur un- i til the end of the season. though ther- are, of course, throughout the summer, a great number of dances and teas to en- liven the vacation period for the school and college set. In this set just now there is an unusual number of pretty visiting girls. and every day is frightened with some hospitality arranged in their honor.
 Though Birmingham is far from de- serted this summer. owing to the grow ing custom of leaving the city in autumn or winter, vacation time las taken our people to scores of places. so that Bir- mingham is represented In Canada, Nova Scotia. on both the Atlantic and the Pa- cific coast. in the Rocky mountains and the Adirondacks, in the suruner colonies on the Great Lakes, and in the various watering places, near and far. Besides there are a number of our people in Flu rope and others planning to cross the wa ter. There is certainly a diversity of 1 taste among r'vacationists. Indeed, now that we have practically adopted the pleasant pagan philosophy which places healthful pleasure at the head of those duties which we owe to ourselves, yaca- tion time has taken on a new significance and the majority of our Birmingham peo- pie begin to prepare in the early spring to enjoy the summer days Of freedom to the very limit of their capacity. Whether their lines happen to lie in the pla.san, places of him who enjoys a lengthy vaca- tion on mountain or shore, or must be satisfied with the monotonous but also carefree, and maybe less conventional career of the stay-at-home, the good old summer time" in Birmingham has become a pleasant period and the pre- ferred one, indeed, to most people

FAVORED NATION" TREATY
DOESN'T BAR RECIPROCITY
New Customs Court Decided That II
Does Not Restrict v. s. in Adopt
ing Trade Agreement.

WASHINGTON, April 1.-THE Gus
toms court in decision yesterday
held in effect that the so-called "fav-
ored nation" clause In the existing
commercial treaties with England,
France and Germany. does not re-
strict the United States in effecting
the proposed reciprocity agreement
with Canada.
The courts decision was brought
out by a comparatively unimportant
contest over the rate of duty which
should be imposed on whisky import
ed from England and France. The
principle involved Is the same raised
In opposition to the proposed Can
adam reciprocity agreement by those
who claimed IL was practically for
hidden by the favored nations"
clause.
A. ID. Shaw & Co., Arm of New
York importers. protested payment OF
duty on whisky from England at the
rate OF 1925 per gallon, holding they
were entitled TO rate OF $1.75, which
is imposed on whisky and other spir-
It's from France. The essence of their
claim was that under the most favored
nation clause with Great Britain i'm
portations from England are entitled
to be entered at the same rate OF
duty levied upon such merchandise
when imported from France and the
other countries with whom similar
treaties have been executed.
The treaty with England was ne
gouated in 1915 and indefinitely ex-
tended in 1927. The treaties with
France, Italy and Germany, form
ing the basis OF the importers
claim were put into effect by the
president under the tariff act Of 1897.
Under the last named treaty, in view
of reciprocal and equivalent conces-
sions" the rate on whisky from France
was fixed at $l.75 a gallon. The court
holds that by it's terms the treaty is
one OF mutual consideration and con.
cession.
The importers claim was that the
concession OF the lower rate OF duty
to France was a special favor within
the purview OF the treaty with Eng
land.
