Standpat Organs Have Brought
Disaster on Their Cause by
Persistent Foolish Claims.

Ii 1t was not for the European war
the country by this time would be in
dustrially in ruins because of the I'm
derwood- Simmons tariff act. If you
do not believe it, go back and see how
imports were overwhelming us in the
first year of this act. which ended just
before the war broke out-the fiscal
year 1885,
This daily chant of the standpat or
gans apparently moved the senate
awhile ago to address to the depart
ment of commerce resolution of in
quiry which Secretary Redfield now
responds to. And the damning fact is
admitted that imports in 1914 under
the said tariff were As per cent
larger than in 1913 under the Payne
Aldrich tariff Dutiable imports were
actually less, but free imports, chief
ly of materials for our factories, were
larger.
This is bad, but worse tale of
ruin remains to be told. 1t relates to
the first year of the prior Payne-Al-
drich standpat tariff and is proved in
precisely the same way. In that first
year imports increased Is per cent
over the previous year.
Therefore it is shown by accepted
standpat rules of evidence that four
times more ruin was produced by the
Payne-Aldrich tariff in it's first year
than by the Underwood-S Simmons tariff
in its first year.-New York World

Exterior colorines.

Exterior coloring for suburban
houses deserve more attention than it
usually receives. An experiment
that sounds in the telling too ideal to
be authentic, but which nevertheless
was said to have been actually carried
out some years ago in an eastern COM
munity, was the painting of all the
buildings in certain village, both res
idential and commercial, in colors that
blended together tremendously.
While perhaps artistic effects of this
sort may never become plentiful, every
homebuilder should do his share to-
ward the good work by making his
own structure a subordinate part OF
the landscape.

the air inside the helmet and suit and
the external pressure of the water, con-
tinues as follows:
1.-THE necessity Of having the air
pressure within the diving dress COM
pensate the external water pressure,
thus subjecting the diver to pressure
directly proportional to the depth to
which he descends, is the dangerous
element in deep sea diving. At
depth, for instance, of 100 feet, diver
must be subjected to pressure OF
four atmospheres, or go pounds per
square inch, in order to compensate
the external water pressure. Exposure
to such pressure is apt to be fol-
lowed by dangerous physiological eff
fects, commonly known as .caisson
disease the symptoms of which in
clude pains in the muscles and joints,
commonly called bends deafness,
embarrassed breathing, vomiting, faint
ing etc., sometimes resulting in death.
1Gl9GT III hGHi0Nibi3 FIGo0AtG
these symptoms the bulletin says,
'do not appear while the pressure is
being raised nor so long as it is con-
tinued, but only after it has been re-
moved; and the view now accepted
Is that they are due to the rapid effer-
vescence of the gases which are alb
sorbed in the body fluids during ex-
posture to pressure. Experiment has
proved that when the pressure is sud-
denly relieved the gas is liberated in
bubbles within the body and that
these do the harm. Set free in the
spinal cord, for instance, they may
cause partial paralysis, or in the heart
lead to stoppage of the circulation. It
| has been found, however, that if the
pressure is relieved gradually the bub-
bles are not formed, because the
| gas comes out of solution slowly

lungs. TO prevent ti.ese effects the
