More Comedy of Errors

has just added another act to the
ctmedy of errors in which the
Democratic administration takes
the star part.
The court has rendered an op-
inion on the construction of the
provision in the Underwood tariff
law intended to give a five per
cellt discount in customs duties
on merchandise imported in Am
erican vessels. and has virtually
declared that the effect of the
provision gives a wholesale dis
elimination in favor of ships OF
foreign countries.
In a recent article attention
was directed to this classic blum
der then pending before the Gus
toms court. The slovenly meth
DDS by which it was enacted were
referred to, showing that the
Democrats had a vague idea a.
bout aiding American shipping,
adopted a vague method OF ex-
tending such aid, and by careless
guess work had thrown the whole
matter into the courts. 1t was
shown that during the debate in
Congress Republicans had given
repeated warnings that, apart
from its policy, the phraseology
of the five per cent section was
meaningless and should be cor
rected to accomplish its purpose.
The decision Of the Court of
Customs Appeals completely con-
firms these statements, and rubs
it in by saying: "The wisdom or
expediency of the policy is mat
ter into which we may not in
uuire nor have we the right to
suspend the operation of the sta
tute because we may think it's
purpose is not adequately ac-
complished.' -
It will be recalled that the Ian
guage of the five per cent dis
count section provided that no
think, herein shall be so construed
as to abrogate or in any manner
innpair or affect the provisions OF
our treaties with foreign nations. "
1t appears from the opinion of
the Customs court that there ere
at least $500 treaty nation YES
sells in the American foreign
trade, and that there are not ov
er fifty American vessels. AS I
favor to our own ships th'
Democratic Congress, accordini
to this decision, gave an equa
bounty to $500 competing for
eign vessels.
In it's decision the court re
ferred to statistics showing tina
the discount provision reduce
duties five per cent upon cOnsiC
erably more than one-half of a
our dutiable imports. After a
its labored adjustment of tari
rates the Democrats. in this sil
gle paragraph proposing a fil
per cent discount, practically d
stroyed the effect Of all prece
ing schedules. and in the san
breath conferred upon fOreit
ships valuable priyilegeinten
ed only for own ships.

of the Court of Customs Appes

Golf Skirts and Beach
Dresses.

For the extra skirt that fitting
ly accompanies a tailored shirt
topped by a sweater or sport coat,
there are practical models to suit
any taste, and in these times
when the flare has taken all the
world by storm it is remarkable
how many plain skirts of very
modest width are worn by people
who can buy whatever they de-
sire. Pleated styles with the
pleats either at front and back,
or grouped at ether side, are
smart and one sees, of course,
full circular models in this class,
but not as a rule so we'll carried
as the moderate cuts.
The simple. we'll made type of
dress variously known as Palm
Beach or Porch Dress, is coming
to be a great favorite with dis
eliminating women who like SIM
plicity combined with style III cut
and perfection of finish. These
gowns take the place of thesmart
utility serge which is the stand
by Of almost every Frenchwom
an, as well as a host of Ameri
cans, for between season wear.

Bathing Accessories.

Bathing suits are matched in
variety and attractiveness by the
many accessories made to go with
them, and which add greatly to
their effectiveness. An ill-selec-
ted cap, hose that does not match
up with the suit, shabby, clumsy
shoes, or worst of all, careless
grooming that allows unsiChtly
hairs to remain on the arms or
face when it is no trouble at all
to get rid of them, spoil anyonn's
appearance. For over sixty years
the select few have been using
K Bazin depilatory powder; which
works perfectly for this purpose
and can be had at any well-stock-
elk toilet department.
