trade, but they are in doubt as to what

Such questions as the type of sterili-

points that they want the Commission
ers to clear up.

Some Complaints Unfounded.

In many instances in which COM
plants are made, said the superintend-
ent, the complaints are not well
founded. For instance, he said a
motor truck going at lawful rate of
speed presents the appearance of going
much faster than passenger carrying
vehicle making the same speed.
But all Of them are not cases of
optical Illusion. lie added. some of
the heavy trucks are operated by ir-
responsible and reckless men. who
seem to ignore the laws. and such
persons. when caught, are hailed into
court.
Operators of such vehicles. Maj. Pull
man said. are held to a strict account
ability, and in every instance in which
the speed limit is violated il is the
duty of the police to make arrests. In
case of other vehicles, where the speed
limit is exceeded by mile or two. he
said. and there is merely a technical
violation of the law, the police are
supposed to use some discretion.

By force of habit, doubtless. the
theory seems to survive among

President Wilson's administration

wood Tariff Law. Notwithstanding
the European War. The effort is
bound to fail for very simple rea-
son-the facts riddle it.
In their tariff publicity" the Re-
publican partisans ignore the enor-
nous increases of exports because
these show the unprecedented pros.
perity of the country. Also, they
do not analyze the imports. II they
did both. they would discover the
increase of imports is wholly due
to the fact that the U S. is drawing

Holes in Postage Stamps

What becomes of the holes in a
sheet of postage stamps? 1t sounds
like silly question. does it not?
But wait a minute.
On a concrete platform just out
side the Bureau of Printing and en-
craving in Washington, recently
some barrels we're being headed
up" They were filled with queer
looking stuff which anybody might
have been at loss to identify 1t
certainly was not mineral; it
didn't look like vegetable. Many
colors--red, blue, green and yellow
&C., seemed to be mixed in small
particles of which it was composed
What on earth is it," asked
curious passer-by,

replied the man with the hammer.
Then in explanation, he grabbed
out handful of the stuff and show
ed that it was composed of tiny
discs Of paper. some red. some blue,
some Lreen, and yet other coloIs.
1t appears that the material in
question is a by-prOduct of the
machines thru which the sheets of
postage stamps 60 to be perforated
AS the little holes are punched out
of them the tiny discs of paper fall
into baskets beneath, which later
on are emptied into the barrels.
Every week day in the year the
Bureau of Engraving turns out in
this way barrel and half of
holes This means nine barrels in
a week, of 1853 barrels in a year.
How many holes make barrel
full? The Bureau prints in a year
12.O000C0,0C0 postage stamps. Al
lowing for the fact that a row of
perfOratiOns serves for the stamps
on both sides of it. there are twen-
ty-one Of them for each stamp. This
makes a tota Of 252,000.000,00O
holes made by the machines, With
a total output of 468 barrels of
holes for the year. it is plain that
the contents of each barrel would
amount to about 538, 46l ,538 holes.
Now, what becomes of all these
holes? Have they any value9 The
answer to the latter question is. not
the slightest. They are carried off
in the barrels to the city dump.
AS for the hole in tie postage
stamp, it seems to be a trifling
thing; yet. as a matter of fact, it
represents an extremely important
invention. When stamps were first
used they had to be cut apart with
scissors, which was highly incon-
venient. 1t is said that $1,000
was paid to the man who oripinat-
ed the idea ofperforatine the sheets
for the privilege of using it Elk.

to supply the demand, and hence
foreign raw materials are being
brought in to augment the domes-
tic supply.
That such is the situ,,ion clear
ly appears from new statistics on
the subject just issued by the De-
partment Of Commerce. BY reduce
ing or removing entirely the tariffs
on many essential raw materials
the Underwood Tariff Act greatly
aided American manufacturers in
meeting the new foreign demands
upon them Thus millions upon
millions of dollras have been drawn
into this country in payment of the
service rendered by American labor
and capital in manufacturing these
imported raw materi ,ls into articles
desperately needed by the outside
world. The conclusion business
men will draw is obvious: The tariff
should not be changed unless COLI
ditions change, and then should be
readjusted only upon the advice of
experts. The latter contingency is
provided against by President VIII
sons recommendation for the crea-
ton of a tariff commission Bulletin
