IN JANUARY.

Washington, April 1.-THE action
OF democrats of the house in consid-
ering the new tariff bill behind closed

leaders Of the senate tooay as unfair
to the public and unfair to business

Penrose, Warren, Gallinger and 9TH
ers. who declared business and labor
interests we're sending thousands of
protests against the bill, and demand
ing an opportunity to be heard as soon
as the measure reaches the senate.
Democratic senators, including Sen
atOrs Williams and Stone, insisted
full hearings had been held in Janu-
airy by the house committee on ways
and means, and that the senate com
mittee would not delay tariff reform
by further hearings.
The republican senators declared no

that was 10 be made when the Janu-
airy hearings were held. Senators
Gallinger and Penrose said that some
of the cuts in the tariff would wipe
industries out of existence and that
the people interested were not given
an opportunity to explain the effects
of the proposed reductions upon their
business.
"No one knew what was in the bill
until it came out of the ways and
means committee, said Senator Pen
rose, "and even now the democrats
are legislating on the bill in secret
caucus"

VALUABLE HINT ON SEWING
Little Tip That Will Make Sewing Of
Lace Around Circular Piece Of
Cloth Easy.

For sewing lace around a circular
piece Of cloth, some preparation Of
the lace is necessary. Here is one
woman's way: Roll the lace into O
tight roll and sew down the end with
few basting threads. Stand the roll
in a shallow dish Of warm water just
dep enough to cover the edge that is
to be sewed on the goods: let 1t stand
in the water three or four minutes;
II left too long the water will soak
up and wet the whole roll. which is
not desired. When the edge for half
an inch or 30 ION wide lace) or as
deep as desired, is well wet, take out
of the water and leave in the roll I'M
til thoroughly dry. When It is dry
and unrolled the edge which was in
the water will have shrunk so the
lace will curve around and lend itself
readily to the round edge Of the
goods. requiring no fulling on, as
otherwise would have to be done.
