SORELY PUZZLED

Washington, March 5.-Customs
authorities have encountered the
first case of an airplane imported
into the United States under its own
motive power. An American bought
a Canadian plane and it was flown
across the border near Detroit.
Since airplanes are not mentioned
in any tariff acts customs officials
finally decided that if it remains
permanently in the United States, it
should be taxed 'as a manufactured
article" at the rate of twenty per
cent, and if it flies out of the coun-
try again within six months. it will
be regarded as 'on a tour" and will
not be taxed.

 ''If I cannot get 1t out of this con ference, 1t may be necessary to use other means. but I am going to get it."
 In another portion of MT. Shea's testimony he is quoted as declaring that If the fremen's demands for a living wage are not met when the time approaches for turning back the railroads to their private owners, the workers will require as a condition precedent to the return the granting Of thoee demands.
 Although Mir. Shea appeared before the board only in behalf of ehe fire men. t is generally considered that to increase the wages of the fremen would necessitate increase to all rail road workers, and any action taken by the flremen to enforce their wage demands would invite similar action hs- tho other brotherhoods.

ARE WORRIED ABOUT
 SHANTUNG FIGHT

New York, Oct. 24-The fear that Senatorial opposition to the shan -ung deal will persuade Japan to propose to the other Allied powers hat all of them withdraw from China, is reported by Hefbert Adams Gibbons, a newspaper correspondent who has just returned from France.
 What is good for the goose" says MT Gibbons, lis good for the gander. If there is to be an open door in China. say the Japanese, let 1t be really open. l. must not be thought that the Japanese attach vital inn por1ance to the Shantung clauses of .he Treaty of Versailles. They are willing to forego special privileges in Shantung If the European powers will surrender their footholds and concessions and special political and economic privileges in China. When Great Britain and France, in the Treaty of St. Germain. refused to transfer Austria -Hungary's rights in China to Italy. i+ was not because of any scruples. But they feared that Japan would raise the embarrassing g proposition, Let us all get out of China!' The fear is still acute. and is the principal reason that the for efgn offices of our allies are losing sleep over the American opposition to the Shantung deal"

Every train in Russia is crowded and when the sack carriers boards one he finds hundreds of other per- sons-men and women-with their sacks of food trying to get into Pet rograd. The more there are the greater his chances of getting into the city.
 Each train is met at stations just outside the city by Red guards. As the tin draws into the station the sack carriers pile off in droves and everyone scurries about to avoid the guards. A certain number, Of course, are caught, but hundreds get through. They then slip along through back streets and alleys to avoid the communist police and troops until they reach the back gate or rear stairs of their customers to whom they sell the food at fabulous prices

London, Oct. 6-(By the A. P)- Petrograd is virtually being fed by sack carriers"-persons who bring in small amounts of eatables from outlying sections in violation of com munist law. They are in constant danger, but prices they obtain make the risks worth while.
