Democrats Get
Good Start On
Tariff Measure

WASHINGTON, D. C., July 24.-The
Generalization OF the Republican sen
ators on the details Of the Democratic
tariff bill became evident today OIL
the first roll call vote on. the prov.
sions Of the bill. In about u 70!
calls held during the afternoon session
the Republicans were defeated in eacL
instance. The highest majority fol
any Democratic provision was 81
votes. Similar majorities were rolled
Up time and again in favor OF the bill,
one. time the Progressive Republican,.
voting with the Democrats and anoth.
er time the reactionary Republicans
voting with the Democrats.
The chemical schedule was the frs,
installment OF the bill considered. anC
seven pages were finished by the time
the hour OF adjournment was reached.
The Republicans tried out thell
strength early in the reading OF the
bill. Paragraph l deals with oxallc,
~ rogaIIIc anu other acids. The I'm.
derwood rate of two cents per pound
oil CXalic acid Is cut by the Senate bill
to ~ cents per pound. Senator
Smcot, standpat leader, demanded re.
Lention OF the Huose bill duty, and
asked for record vote. The result
was so to 26 in favor OF the Senate
committee provision. Nine Republl.
cans and PrOgressiyes voted with the
Democrats. These were Borah, Bris.
tow. Crawford, Cummins, Jones. La
Toilette. Norris. Poindexter and Works.
Next the insurgents attacked the
Senate provision OH pyrogallic acid.
The Senate rate is 10 cents per
pound. where as the House rate is 10
cents per pound. On the occasion the
regular Republicans. under the lead.
crship OF Smoot and Gallinger, voted
with the Democrats, and the Senate
provision carried by vote of IS to 10.
The l2 Republicans who voted with
the Democrats were Bradley. Brande.

was only on amendments offered by
Republicans seeking to lower the SEN

was had; and then the Republicans
fell 10 short of majority. Naturally.
the Democrats are jubilant over the
successful start that has been made
and the prospects for an early passage
Of the bill.

MORE Ribbon on Hats.

Moire Ribbon on Hats.
MORE ribbon is being used a goo
deal. on smart hats, especially in
white. which Is point to bear In
mind when purchasing vacation hat,
because colored ribbons fade at the
sea in n manner that proves most ex
rensive to their wearer. A hay.color
cd hat with n hand and bow of wide
white MORE ribbon would make an ex
cellent standby for the holiday sea
sen. and would go" with almost any
thing.
Delightful hats are being shown In
colored straws, lined with pink. fos
instance, and the crown encfrcieA
with a pink ribbon tied in an artistic
fashion at one side OF the back, or the
ribbon may ilnish under Il little pOsy
of mixed flowers near the front.
A lovely model was in navy blue
braid straw, with the upright part o.
the crown and half the brim inlet
with crepe in tilleul or lime green.
The only trimming was close clnS.
placed away on the brim at the back.
Usually these hats. composed partly
OF silk or crepe dc chine, have very
little trimming on them, a bunch OF
roses as described above. or one o.

Panniers of Black Satin.
One of the most attractive fashions
in black and white is an extreme nov.
city and worthy OF imitation. There is
first slightly gathered underskirt
OF black chiffon with n 3.inch hem,
then an overskirt OF white lace with
a pannier of black satin that folds
back on itself. slips under n wide sash
of black satin and stands out in round
scallops like petals on a negligee

black net.
The hat that goes with this after.

New Scarfs Of Lace.
The lace business Is so revived that
women are finding a new way of earn.
ing a livelihood. or rather reviving a
very old one. All the French salons
and those OF Belgium are working ov.
ertime to supply the demand. There.
fore 1t is quite natural that scarfs Of
lace should come into fashion and
that they should be the only trimming
on simple summer gown, II one so
desires.
II a woman owns anything in the
