TARIFF INCREASE
ON SUGAR IS AGAIN
UP AS SUGGESTION
BY c. ;. ASSERT

Especial Star~Ballstir Sorresoondencel
WASHINGTON, ID. c.. April .. -
The outlook for increased tariff pro
lection on refined sugar Is becoming
brighter as each day passes. Many
Democratic members OF Congress now
openly admit that II will be necessary
to restore the PaynsAldrich rates. or
go beyond that point.
The arising OF q critical situation he
tween the United States and Germany
has caused an unexpected and sudden
change In the attitude toward sugar.
For several days il has been self-evi-
dent that material additions to gov
ernmsntal revenues must be made.
The old standbys--whiskey beer and
tobacco--were Immediately suggested
as being slated TO bear their share Of
the burden Sugar was added to the
list. with a suggestion that coffee and
tea might be required to pay part Of
the anticipated war expenses.
The first suggestion that sugar be
given more protection. instead Of a
consumption tax being levied. came
from Representative Thomas NJ, Bell
OF Georgia, the Democratic whip IN
the house. The views expressed by
him were shared by many Of his as
sociates. f.s

sugar he said. because II bears
equally on all and wages a hardship
on none. would be willing for the
old tariff to be put back on. and
would increase II on lumber, too. Il
might be good policy to make an In
crease on diamonds, and then put t
UP to the government to prevent them
being Struggled in.
This could be done by the Demo-
Gratis consistently | believe In rev.
enue tariff only rather than. In raising
revenue by direct taxation, such as b
raised by the excess profits law. The
increased tariff rates should be put on
only as an emergency measure. After
the emergency Is over We should get
rid OF 1t at an early date.
Boosting the income tax, the excess
profits tax and other forms OF reve-
nue. production now in vogue viii be
invoked to fill the treasury. II Is fig
ured ont that cool billion can be
raised by celebrating and expanding
taxes already effective. II is thought
the income tax might be pushed up
from 2 to. ) per cent without bother

tion would be slipped down to $500

fective but unpopular

This was spoken to the skies, appar-

again.

CHAPTER III.
BUT SALLY WAS THE ANGEL

1t took Seffy long time to array him
self as he had threatened. And when
it was all done you wouldn't have known
him-you wouldn't have cared to know
him. For his fine yellow hair was
changed to an ugly brown by the
patent hair-oil with which he had
dressed it--and you would not have
liked it's fragrance, trust. Bergamot,
/ think il was. His fine young throat
was garroted within starched standing
collar, his feet were pinched in creaking
boots, his hands close-gauntleted in
buckskin gloves, and he altogether in
comparable, uncomfortable, and tri-
umphant.
Down stairs his father paced the
floor, watch in hand. From time to
time he would call out the hour, like
a Waterman on a minaret. AT last:
"Look a-yere, Seffy, it's about two
inches apast sefen-and by the time
you git there-say, nger gif another
Teller chance to git there afore you or
to leave after youF
Seffy descended at that moment with
his hat poised in his left hand.
His father dropped his watch and
picked it up.

Seffy issued forth to his first con-
quest-lighted as far as the front gate
by the fat lamp held in his fathers
hand.
"A-Sef- Seffy, shall l set up for

the dark.

Sally shivered, then laughed. But
she took herself away from Seffy.
The Pressed temper famed moment,
and certain words began to form in her
mind like Fool" and "Gol" and
Damnl" For, | think haven't told
you that Sally sometimes swore--in
extreme circumstances Her father
had done so.
She spoke with that trifle of hard
brutality which came out now and then.
You know what they say at the
store-that | flirt and am not nice in
other ways, and they're right. But |
do want to be nice to you, though not a
sister-quite Ugh. And, you know,
one thing they say is true-my temper.
Look out for that You must always take
time to forgive me and let me ask
to be forgiven"
Now, | beg to ask you whether an
amende was ever more delicious-con-
slderlng that much Of what she said to
and for Seffy was meant to and for
herself alone? Indeed, before she got
through with it, it had affected her
quite as if Seffy had pleaded it, and
her voice sank to its pretty mezzo, then
qulvered bit, and she understood that
she was answering herself
"Seffy,. am awfully sorryp
For what, Sally2' asked Seffy.
Seffy, dull Seffy, really did not know
for what. But there is something
which God gives the dull, as well as
the sprightly-witted, that outleaps words
to comfort sorrow. And this Seffy had
abundantly, 1t first expressed itself
IN the strong young arms which again
closed in utter silence upon the sorrow
ing one.
Presently (perhaps you have not for
gotten how it isO in the same silence,
Selfy's lips found hers-not as the victor
pounces upon the spoil of his conquest
but slowly uncertainty, unconfident-
ly-as if the lips were a saints relics;
and Sally waited, not as she had waited
before, but in the knowledge that her
hour had come, and that this kiss
the first this youth had given to woman
since his mother died in his infancy
must not be received as Others had
been, but as sacredly as it came: and
when it finally fell the lips of the
coquette quivered as they received it,
and then suddenly sobbed, and did not
know why

1t won't happen again"
Whereat Sally laughed and chung
about Seffy's delighted neck and cried
to his puzzled heart:
Yes, it will"
And kissed him back

edo you mean it? You not mad2"

Seffy, not meaning at all what she

recklessly squandered something pre-
cious.

And then

And strange as it may seem, in that
moment, Seffy was the greater, drawer
and stronger, and Sally but the waiting,
willing woman-as she ought to have
been. Indeed Seffy was courageous
enough to have put that question which

across the wide horizon in alternate

symbol of their own fair dreams
mystic, mighty and battling.
And as they looked there came sud

they beheld n patch Of azure sky set

How Houses Explode.

Tile most remarkable phenomenon
connected with tornadoes is the explo-
sion of houses, which literally burst,
scattering their fragments in all direc-
lions. Sometimes substantial dwell
ings are carried high into the air and
then explode.
Ii is now understood that this is due
to the fact that the funnel cloud re
volving at rate of at least 500 miles
an hour has vacuum inside. Thus 1t
sucks up everything in its path. even
emptying wells. 1t sucks all the air
from around n house over which it
passes, and the house "a vacuum being
thus created outside of it, promptly cx-
