over carefully and have any cuts and
abrasions vulcanized.

THE ALPHABET MAN
BY OR. FRANK CRANE Copyright. 1921. by Frank Cranel

Any man who can do his work well and skilfully is interesting. good bricklayer or horseshoer IS delight to in action
 met man on the S. S. Zealand who is the best in his ine and when you meet such man he IS worth studying.
 His line is The Alphabet That is to say he is designer of type. He has invented more new forms of type than any man since Gutenberg.
 His name is Goudy, and his place of business is in Garden City, Long Island
 Most of read the printed page do not realize that there are only twentysx of the little char acrs that convey the current ideas from the page to our mind
 These twenty-six little dancers by altering their combinations and making formations, open up to us all the enchanting fields of and the rich speculations of philosophy. They give the of the world in our morning paper. They enable us to communicate with absent friends. They furnish the vehicle for the transaction of business In hymn book and psalter they comfort souls
 They are the Tools of the Mind
 Without them the human spirit would be dumb in-
 It is essential that these little workers be eff cent possible That is to say, they should be legbe pleasing and, like all perfect servants, selfeffacing
 Here comes in the Craftsman.
 He has devoted his life to the perfect of iteratm.
 He has written de luxe book on The Alphabet, which tells the whole genesis of it from the ancient Greeks, through the Romans, by whom 1t was univer saized, down to the present day.
 Caligraphy, writing or printing, beautiful Tn itself, is hardly known in modern life. We have in- sisted that the main business of letter is to get itself Il Ruskin said "Al letters fightful things, and to be endured only upon occasions, that is to say in places where the of the inscription is of im portance than external ornament" T Still once attended an exhibition of Caligraphy at the Groier Club where the COpc letters fents of real beauty The Mahometans who lest they be guilty of idolatry, hang pictures on the wall, decorate with verses of the Koran. Perhaps Goudy will show us in time how A c may be things beautiful in themselves.

provide protection against depreciated cur rency as well against low paid labor
 Under the plan of American valuations all varia- tions in the foreign market value of identical or similar goods imported from two more foreign countries wuld disappear in so the base for estimating duties concerned, because the only base would be the value the United States. This would remove the undue advantage given to imports from those countries in which production costs are particularly low Further the revenue from imports from all countries would be the same; and there fore the total amount collected would be increased, because the market value would apply to all importatons similar goods from all countries at given date.
 Under the present system of assessing ad valor- duties foreign valuations, the foreign value differs with the varying cost of production in the countries and results in different amounts of duties similar goods imported from different countres-the country having the lowest cost of production paying the lowest amount of duty.

 freed. a letter the other day from a man in Kansas City that had read article in. the American Magazine for June by man named Geo. Ade or the joys of being bachelor and the Kansas City man wanted to know had I read the article and what did I think about it and also would I try and find out for him who this man Ade is as he use to have cousin by that name that the last he heard Of him he was a rubber in a turkish bath and he thought it might maybe be the same man, as this article sounded like it might be the works of rubber in a turkish bath
 Well friends, read the article my self and to me it sounded like the vale of a lost soul and I also was curious as to what kind of man it could be that would let out squawk like the article in question SO I made inquirys and found out that this man Ade is man who I have met personally around at my differ ent clubs and he wasn't never in a turkish bath only as a client. and like a good many other people he had gotten the idear in his head several yrs. ago that he could make a liveing
 
 complete flop and is now a golf pro- fessional at a hole course at Brook, Ind.
 Some of my readers may be struck like was by the quaint name Brook and wonder how they came to call a town such a quaint name like Brook Well I made inquirys into this pt also and it seems like the town got s its name from the way the people that lives there talk and instead oi talking like other people, they babble
 Some of the old timers who asked them about this Ade's literary efforts told me they couldn't remember much about him only that he wa; suppose to be a humorist writer and the way he got his laughs was tC make pretty near all the words begir with a capital letter. Like for inst suppose he was trying to tell stor, about cat and a flea. well thes wouldn't be nothing to the story bu when he come to the words cat an6 flea he would write them Cat anf Flea and it looked so funny that { person couldn't help from burst ou laughing the 1st. few times but afte a vile it begin to paul and peopl quit reading them and he Hoped ant had to take uD another line of work.

 Serious problems and discriminations have arisen from constant fucuation of the value foreign moneys in ascertaing the foreign selling price, cost of production abroad, for duty purposes In assessing duties the base of American valuation the conversion of foreign moneys into our monetary system will be entirely eliminated. Under this plan no such questions would arise to whether or not the foreign price for domestic consumption, or export has flucuated equally with the fluctuation the value of money: whether not the cost of production abroad measured in fuctuatng currency has increased equally with the production in the United States.
 One of principal of the present flood of imports from certain countries in Europe and the consequent stagnation of American business the depreciated currency in those countries. the present tariff law. duties estimated the foreign value or Invoice price which in many instances is less than the of labor and materials used in counarsble goods manufactured the United States The result is that the amount of duty far less than it was contemplated would be collected when the prssent law was passed and in many cases pro- tec;ion to the American manufacturer is eliminated
