LITTLE FAILING or.
Customs Receipts Show Only Small:
Difference Over Last Year.

Although the new tariff act with its
owered rates of duty has been in
effect practically month, the Gus
.oms receipts have so far shown lit
le falling off.
According to the Treasury state
nent the customs receipts for Octo
Der amounted to $30,138,000, just
about $4,000 less than those of Oc-
oober, 1912.
The deficit for the fiscal year to
late, the statement shows, is $685.
527, about $3,900,000 more than the
deficit at the corresponding period
last year.
Pension payments under the Sher-
wood act are apparently largely re
sponsible for the larger deficit. The
payments for the period in 1912
through October amounted to about
$52,5O0,000 and, for the same period
this year, nearly $57,000,000 in this
one disbursement item.
The total pay warrants for the
month of October, 1913, were $780,
994, with the total receipts of $64, 1885,
633, leaving an excess of receipts for
the month of $4,S29,639.
The net balance in the general fund
of the Treasury at the close of last
Saturdays business was $124,923, 1923,
and the grand total of cash in the
Treasury was given at $2,037, S46, 293,
with a total gold in the trust fund of
s1,09S, 995,169. In national bank de-
positories to the credit of the United
States Treasurer there was $91,
1O1.
At the close of business Saturday
there were 1914 national banks in ex-
istence, with capital of $1,068, 1884,
IT'S, and circulation outstanding, Sc
cured by bonds amounting to $740,-

HALF soLEs FOR KING ED

King George, like his father, pre-
fers comfortable pair of boots,
though he would rather have com
Portable new pair than have his old
boots repaired, as did King Edward,
says the Kings bootmaker to Pear
sons Weekly. Here, by the way, is a
curious fact about the Kings boots.
He takes a seven and half, as did
the Prince Consort, and as does the
present Prince of Wales. The Prince
Concerts boots fitted his son, his
grandson, and his great-grandson.
Each could wear the others boots and
have practically perfect fit.
King Georges favorite boot is a
Wellington, which he wears on every
occasion he can. These WellingtOns
are expensive and are made of very
fine calfskin, which takes brilliant
polish. So fine is the polish that
many people have thought that the
King wears patent leather boots.
AS a matter of fact, King George
strongly dislikes patent leather and
will never wear boot made of it.

to conviction on questions which Sc

Pankhurst is right in her declaration
that the militant methods are the only
ones sufficiently violent to get under
the hide of the Englishman and make
him realize that these people are not
to be satisfied with bows and smiles
and platitudes, but are human beings
demanding what they consider their

flee to get them. Suffrage will come
eventually, and whether it is because

There is a very simple manner,
which is not generally known, of deter
mining the character of the electricity
which one may happen to want to
make use Of 1t is well known that
implements which are made for the
direct current are not available where
the alternating current is used, and in
order to ascertain which kind of cur

only necessary to hold small horse
