PROVISIONS OF
new TARIFF BILL

After being under consideration in
congress for nearly six months the
new tariff bill is law, and for the
first time in nearly quarter of CEN
tury the country has tariff law orig
mated by the Democratic party. The
bill will doubtless be known as the
observation-disclosures bill, taking the
title from Chairman Underwood of the
ways and means committee of the
house and Chairman Simmons of the
finance committee Of the senate.
The sponsors for the bill say that 1t
will raise ample revenue. Chairman
Simmons has been advised that it will
yield surplus Of at least $16,0OO,OOO
a year above current expenses. If it
does not meet the expenses of running
the government the expenses will be
reduced.
One remarkable thing about the pres
ent tariff bill, a precedent, in fact, is
that the senate cut the average rate
OF duty carried by the bill below that
fxed by the house. Heretofore In the
making Of tariff bill the house has
slashed the rates, while the senate has
then taken up the bill and readjusted
the rates on a higher general average
Z The house bill carried a general av-
erage rate slightly below 80 per cent.
This the senate cut "a little over per
cent. The conference committee has
raised the general average duty but
slightly: The average ad valorem duty
carried by the bill as perfected is
about q per cent. The average under
the present law Is about IS per cent.

STORIES FOR BEDTIME.
Chatterer, Red Squirrel, Falls
Into the Trap.
by Thornton W. Burgess.
by Thornton W. Burgess.
Copyright. 1913. by ]. G. Lloyd,

In the early morning Chatterer, the
Red Squirrel. left the. Green Forest
and scampered along the tumbled down
stone wall to the far corner of the
old orchard He ducked in and out
behind under and around the stones
of the old wall, all the time keeping
the sharpest watch with his bright
eyes to make sure that no one saw
him. He was thinking Of the beautiful
white eggs which he was sure were in
the home of Drummer the Woodpecker
in the old apple tree close by Johnny
Chucks house. He wanted those eggs
for his breakfast. 1t was two days
since he had had one. for though he
had thought and thought and thought
he hadn't been able to think OF a plan
to get both Mr.. and Mrs. Drummer
away from their home together as
he had when he had stolen their first
eggs and then laid the blame on Sammy
Jay. He hadn't any plan now. but he
just hoped that something might hap
pen to give him the chance he wanted.
Chatterer hid in a hole between two
big stones where he could watch the
home of Drummer the Woodpecker
and waited. He was so intent on this
that he didn't look around as he should
have. and, SO. Of course. he didn't see

made his home and was half way up
It when Mistah Mocker the Mocking
Bird dashed at him from his hiding
place in the next tree shrieking
''Thief." at the top of his voice.
At once Sammy Jay turned in that
direction and straight back to the old
apple tree he came screaming inleI!
as loud as he could. and close behind
bors. Now as soon as Drummer saw
Chatterer in the tree he knew right
away what had brought him there and
he forgot all about Sammy JAY.
Chatterer saw him coming and. though
he isn't a coward, the sight of SO many
angry birds was too much for him. he
turned to run down the trunk and scam
per back to the safety OF the ola stone
wall. But he didn't No. sir, he didn't go
a step farther down the tree. Why! Be
cause, there. waiting for him, sat Reddy
Fox. and Reddys teeth looked unpieas-
antly long and sharp, and Reddy him.
self looked unpleasantly hungry.
But there was no time to sit still and
think about it. No, indeed! There were
too many sharp bills eager to tear his
coat and pull his hair and scratch his
face. Like a flash Chatterer scurried
around to the other side of the tree
trunk. Then began real trouble for Chat
terer the Red Squirrel. Round and
round the tree, out one branch. across
to another, jumping, twisting. lodging.
ran Chatterer, with all the birds Of the
pecker and Sammy Jay, darling and
striking at him with their sharp bills and
all screaming Thief, Thief" as loud as
ever they could. And all the time down
below Reddy Fox was dancing about
with excitement and hoping that the birds
would drive Chatterer out of the tree.
At last. all breathless and torn and
bleeding. Chatterer managed to crawl into
q little hollow. where even the long bill
OF Drummer the Woodpecker couldn't
reach him. ooh. dear!'' he sobbed. II
wish I had never thought of those eggs"
"Or tried to put the blame on some one
else" said a voice right outside his hid
Ing place. 1t was the voice of Sammy
Jay, and then Chatterer knew who 1t was

ANN0YS QUEEN MARY.
Peeresses in England Alleged to En-
gage in "Mercenary Sponsoring
of The Star.


LONDON: August 10. 1918.
Ever since the close of the London sea-
son Queen Mary has had much to worry
her. In the first place. Princess Chris
tan, aunt of King George. who is living
in one of the gift houses at Windsor
Park. has been making and selling per-
fume at Cumberland, the name of her
house This the queen would perhaps
have overlooked, but the royal lady puts
the Cumberland labels on the bottles 10
the annoyance of the queen. The latter
has asked her to discontinue making the
perfume for the market, but Princess
Christian stoutly refused to comply with
the command, asserting that she has
perfect right to make perfume IL she
likes.
Another source of annoyance to the
queen is the practice, which has grown
into quite an enterprise. of Well estab-
lished ladies of title to introduce women
into London society who have more cash
than space in Burk's Peerage. Recently
1t became known to the queen that the
daughter of a peer had assisted cockney
hostess. about to give a large ball, and
had received $4,000 for her services The
queen was incensed.
This mercenary sponsoring must STOP,
she is said to have exclaimed.
The queen Is doing all she can to restore
the rigid etiquette of the court OF Queen
Victoria, and has called on the leading
peeresses OF England to stand by her in
this campaign against the "limbers" and
the "mercenary sponsors"

Students of the subject are agreed that
q reformed system should include among
its necessary features provisions for
never-failing reserves and never-failing
currency, and for the perfect elasticity
and f1exibility of both. How to achieve
the desired end is in dispute among vari-
Gus schools of financial thought.
Two years ago the monetary commits
sion, Of which Senator Aldrch was at the
head. published an exhaustive report and
submitted a proposed law. a feature Of
which was the creation of a series Of in
terlocking reserve centers throughout the
country The proposition was never acted
upon.
These reports and mass of other evil
dence bearing on the problem were be-
fore the Secretary when the administra-
tons new currency policy was recently
formulated In formulating 1t Secretary
McAdoo had a large part, for when en-
acted into law he will have to give 1t
effect.
A phase of the problem perhaps not
generally understood is the fact that
what is known as the Aldrich- Vreeland
law will expire by limitation June 30
