WASHINGTON. d. c.. June 15.-
Congressman Caleb r. Layton has
been invited by the Minnesota dele
cation in the House OF Representa-
tives to unite with the northwestern
members in opposing the proposed
ad yalorem duty OF 25 per cent on
finished lumber. DR.. Layton said he
was uncertain as to what action he
would take, but promised to give the
matter earnest study.
After all. the tariff is largely Sec
tional." said Congressman Layton.
"The South used to be altogether for
free trade but since the Egyptian
and African and Asiatic cotton grow
ers have brought their staples in
competition with the products OF
Dixie, We can count southern Repub-
Leans by the scores OF thousands" /"
Congressman Young, OF North Da-
kota, member of the Ways and
Means Committee. boasted that the
proposed lumber tariff was beaten.
IL Is understood. however. that the
committee is going right ahead with
the schedule.

are lined with something strikingly
colorful
Sometimes the lining and the
gown are worn under are of match
ing or harmonizing color.
In the general trend Of things be-
ing brought out for fall there Is a
decided hint of the mode Of 1914,
when skirts were quite wide. quite
long and ornamented with many ruff
fles. Bodies were tight then and the
waistline was slightly accented.
As for sleeves-the majority Of
arms which one sees this fall will be
quite covered. however transparent

are carrying sleeves which reach al
most to the knees and make a dark

EGGS ARE EGGS
DESPITE COLOR

In Boston they like 'em yellow, in
New York they prefer them white.
In either city the egg Of choice com
plexion. all else being equal, brings
slightly higher price than do other
kinds.
Why the preference? No one
knows exactly. II may be because
New England hens have long spe-
cialized on laying yellow eggs-
shell coloring being largely a mat
ter Of the fowls breed. The egg
cup is perhaps more popular in the
metropolis and, being white. makes
the white egg look more appetizing
Careful chemical analyses disclose
no differences between white and
brown eggs. Their food values are
the same; likewise the flavor
The same is true. substantially. Of
eggs whose yolks differ in degrees Of
yellowness. Many housewives re-
gard pale-yoked eggs as inferior and,
when they can be avoided, won't use
them in making cakes and custards.
The reason. though fallacious. is
that the deeply yellow yolk is richer.
IL does give a richer luster to cake
or custard. but il conveys no addi-
tional food value and very little, If
any. added flavor.
The eggs Of any given breed of
hens. whatever the color Of the
shells. are on the average as nutri-
tious as those OF another breed.

PLENTY Of WORK
FOR COUNCIL
Taxicab, Signboard, Junk
Tax Up For Discussion
Tonight
CURFEW is UP
TO NEW SOLONS

Taxicabs, signboards and taxes on
junk dealers are likely to form prime
clpai subjects for discussion at the
meeting Of City Council in committee
OF the whole tonight.
Question whether curfew is to ring
or not to ring was put over last We'd
nesday night for three weeks, which
means that In all probability II will
be left to the new Council, which
takes office on July /.
The proposed new taxicab ordi-
rance is drawn to include owners Of
all motor vehicles operated within
the city for which a passenger vehi-
Gle fare is charged. Undertakes
have proposed an amendment which
will exempt vehicles used exclu-
sively for funerals. This amend
ment, together with the ordinance
! as been placed in the hands Of the
city solicitor to be put into legal
form.
Councilman Forwood last week
presented a rough draft Of an or
dinance to regulate and tax sign
boards. This ordinance provides for
a license fee to conduct a sign board
business, a fee for a permit to erect
a sign, and a charge for each
square foot or span of 25 feet or
fraction thereof.
Junk dealers OF the city have suo-
ceeded in getting Council to reduce
the proposed license tax OF $50 per
wagon to S25, but have failed tp
gain any reduction from the license
fee OF 5000 provided under an or
dinance enacted three years ago. e
