Member of the Firm of Henry Clcws

4 Co.. of New York.
NEW YORK, March 26-Defnite
announcement has now been made
of the program for the new session
Of Congress which is to assemble
on April IL. The emergency tariff
question will be first considered,
followed by the adoption of a bill
calling for the establishment of a
system for the American valuation
OF imported commodities and a So
called "anti-dumping" measure. At
ter these laws will come the begin
nins of work on plan providing for
a permanent tariff law. Meantime
the Senate Finance Committee will
start its hearings relative to the
amendment OF internal revenue leg
islation, including the income tax
and the excess profits tax. The pro-
gram shows that the fiscal and in
dustrial condition of the country is
to have primary attention and good
results are hoped, though the rank
and file of the business community
would undoubtedly prefer 10 see
taxation given the foremost place
in the sessions program.
There is little or no indication at
present of a settlement with the
Germans that will permit CONNER
cial relationships to be resumed up
on satisfactory basis. Allied
forces have penetrated deeper into
German territory and are now oc-
eupying some important areas.
German occupation OF Silesia has
geen confirmed by the plebiscite
taken on March 21, and to that ex-
tent the economic position of the
Germans is protected. This event.
ually should prove a factor tending
to assist in the settlement of the
pending difficulties. The applica-
ton of the Soviet Government for
a trade agreement with us may lead
to some arrangement like that en-
tered into by Great Britain with
Russia.
Railroad Problem Up Again
The weeks developments in the
railroad situation have produced
testimony on the part of the trans
portation managers showing that
their net earnings, in consequence of
a reduction in freight volume
amounting on some lines to 80 per
cent, have fallen to a figure less
than l per cent of the capital valu-
alton. At the same time it has APP
peared that the roads find it impos-
sible to keep up the agreements as
to hours of labor and division Of en-
ployments made during the war.
and that if these should be contin-
ued there will be a great diversion
of business to the equipment COM
panies in order to reduce the cost Of
the repairs under the present sys-
tenn. The plan for a semi-govern-
ment guarantee of the interest on
railroad securities offered on behalf
of the owners of such securities has
not attracted much serious attention
in view of the belief that it amounts
to a request for government inter-
vention on the side of the owners
of the securities. while those respon-
sible for it apparently take issue
with the effort to get an equitably
revised system of agreements with
labor. Expressions on the part of
some leading railroad managers as
to traffic conditions have been en-
couraging because OF the opinion ex-
pressed by them that the corner
has been turned" in railroad depres-

Standing all day, or sitting in

feet, young girls contract deranged
conditions, and before they are hardly
aware of it they develop headaches,
backache, irregularities, nervousness
and bearing down pains, all of which
are symptoms of woman's ills. Every
mother who has daughter suffering
from such symptoms should profit by
the experience of Mrs. Eicher and

To cast adrift would be. the easiest course pro- vided there was no come back, but it is far preferable that they should get such training that will permit this country to endorse their ability to look out for themselves before any cutting loose is at tempted It is one thing to think what can be done when reliance is being placed on someone else, but it is another thing when the responsibility rests entirely on your own shoulders.
 There are others who have undertaken to administer their own affairs where the reason for it was far greater than it is in the case of the Filipinos, but thier experiences are sufficient to discourage others from taking such step until there is a sufficient degree of assurance that success rather than failure lie i, ahead. The attractions of complete in dependence should not be allowed to ob- scure the difficulties and responsibilities that gu with it.

He means business, however, and if the families consent he persuades her to eat meal with him in public, and by virtue of this procedure his bachelorhood is brought to an abrupt end.
 Before the young girl in Burma makes her debut she must have ears pierced for earrings. The holes are kept open and enlarged by wearing in them glass CT metal tubes of increas- ing size until they are half an inch i'll diameter, capable of carrying weights similar to the decarations worn by the South Sea Islanders. In olden times the fashion demanded much larger holes than those in vogue at the present time. and many an old Burmese lady uses hers. as holders for her cheroots, some what after the American dough- boys conceit of wearing a flag behind his ear.
 "A dead man in Burma always pays his fare across the mystic river of death with Q small coin which he car ries in his mouth. The curse that rests on grave-diggers as a class probably comes from the fact that most of the men of this trade have no scruples about digging the poor wretches up for their coin. l. is believed that this causes the spirits of the disturbed one to return to this world to suffer all the ills that the Burman imagination can conjure up for them"

By this we mean that the size of the letters vary in size, without any consistency. And the characteristics in dicated by this trait are quite different from those indicated by the letters which have 8 tendency to increase in size as the person comes to the end of word or line.

Demands continue to be made for the complete independence of the Philippine islsnds. This is not because Of the >re- -ent report of Governor General Wood Tor t has been urged for a number of years. T. comes from certain clement among the islanders and can be expect sd Go continue regardless of what the conditions are within Or without, but his country is not disposed to set the islands adrift just because there are those in them who are not only willing ont anxious to take chances with their ability to handle the affairs in the isl- snds.
 Governor General Wood reported that progress was being made by the isl- Anders and that conditions i1 ths lsl- aads were good. but he pointed out a number of reasons why they should re- mair under the guidance of tho United sta;ss and get the benefit of the instruo- inn In self government for sorne time 'et, instead of yielding to inc clamor of m party seeking independence.

WAITER FACILITIES.

Large sums of money have been spent from time to time on the construction and improvement of the Erie canal. It is possible to load material in Buffalo and bring it by barge to Norwich and other points in New England and it has been done during the past season. That affords transportation by water as a means of relieving congestion on rail- roads and obtaining lower rates. It Is interesting to note in this connection that Norwich has contributed to the in crease in businest that was done through the canal during the past year.
 In speaking of this the Utica Press says: "The waterway was used more the past summer than in any previous season but was not used tenth as much as it might have been prQfitably * but somehow it seems difficult to induce people to avail themselves of tLis op- portunity."
 It was not during the past summer that the canal was furnishing greater facilities than ever before but undoubt- edIy mora attention has been directed to is advantages because of the discussion that has been going on regarding the proposed St. %sawrence canal. against which there has been urged oy the gov ernor ana others in New York that it is preferabia first to make use of what is already &Tai!, bIe tn :he Erie barge cs- nal before entering into extensive out lays for a waterway in another coun- try.
 Inland water transportation too often falls to get the attention that it deserves and in this connection more than those who bring iron from Buffalo by barge Or coal from New Jersey ports to local yards cannot fail to be interested in the effort to have the government deepen the channel to this city from Allyn's Point New York has a waterway that is ready for use and getting more bus mess. The Thames river puts Norwich in connection with many points by wa ter but much greater use of it can be made when an adequate channel is pro- vided. The advantage of the water fa- elites means much and at no time can there he a disposition to neglect 1t.
