SENATE EXPECTED
TODENY EMBARGO
j. ON|MPORTEDDYES
Hearings Indicate, However,
That Coal Tar Industry Will
Be Amply Protected.


Despite the repeated demands Of
the American dye industry that It
be afforded protection In the Ford
ney tariff bill by the shutting out of
foreign dyestuffs with virtual EN-.
barge. 1t was indicated today dur
ing the hearings on the subject BE-.
fore the Senate Finance committee
that the Senate was likely to follow
the lead OF the House In rejecting
the embargo proposal.
Coal Tar Projected.
The coal tar industry, however,
recognized as the means Of assuring
the country Of ample protection In
time Of war through the manufac.
ture of poisonous gases and ex.
plosives, will not 20 unprotected In
the tariff bill, as duties OF seven
ents q pound and IS cents I'D valor-
I'm are now carried in the measure
cor coal tar products used for dyes.
II the Finance COMMITTEES decided
to line up with the House In refus-
ing to incorporate the proposed dye
stuffs embargo in the bill. 1t Is
probable that efforts will be made
by extreme protectionists and those
interested in the dye industry to In.
crease the ad valorem duty on the
imported products.
Echos Of the bitter fight in the
House over the embargo provision
are being heard on the other side
Of the Capital. and II is possible that
the charges Of Congressman Frear
of Wisconsin, concerning the turning
over of German patents to the Chem
ical Foundation during the war may
have much to do with the attitude
of the Finance committee.
II. A. Metz, of New York City. .
dye manufacturer and importer. con-
tinued his testimony in opposition 10
the embargo when the committee
resumed its hearings today.
Thinks Embargo Unnecessary.
Metz declared that he favorel ample
protection for the dye industry ITO
prevent the scrapping OF factories
built during the war when national
necessity demanded the manufacture
OF coal tar products, but expressed
the belief that this could be &C.
complished without an embargo.
The committee hoped to complete
hearings today on the embargo pro.
vision. after which number OF
Government experts Will TESTIFY on
the American valuations plan at the
request of Senator Smoot OF Utah..
At the conclusion OF this testimony
the entire committee will go into ex-
ecutive session to determine upon
the fate of the dye embargo and the
American valuations plan.

That's grand. But you haven't
heard all my news yet. Aunt Edna
surprised US last night. She is going
to be married soon you know, and has
come to buy things for her 'troo-so.'
that is French for wedding Clothes
Mother says"
Aunt Edna here. Oh how lovely
Aunt Edna was a prime faVorite
with both the girls. She was so clever
in making lovely plans for all kinds
OF amusement. and was so lively it
was a pleasure to be with her. As
Mrs. Spenser often said no one would
be lonely while she was near. Ida
had no aunt Of her own, and often
expressed the wish that Aunt Edna
was an honest-to-goodne aunt. in
stead OF only half a one, as she
called ber.
They found Mrs. Spenser and Aunt
Edna in the sitting, room, busily max
ing out list for a days shopping In

"Ah. here you are Ida dear" said
Mrs Spenser That's right You
might just as well stay right now.
will telephone Nurse to have your
things packed and ready, and I will
send the car around for them after It
has taken us to the station"
The days that followed were very
happy sor the two girls. Aunt Edna
managed that some time each day was
spent with her, and on one wonderful
occasion they went to town, had din
ner at big hotel and afterwards went
to the theatre.
Dreadful dissipation for such
young people" said Mrs. Spenser. But
no one could resist Aunt Edna, when
she set her mind on anything.
At last Aunt Edna left, and after
her departure, things were more quiet.
And the, pleasures took the form OF
picnics, nutting expeditions and long
long rides in the country.
One day came a telegram from
Daddy. win be home tomorrow at g.
Surprise and all. BE at the house to
meet me-"
Mrs. Spenser also had a telegram
asking her, her husband and Vera 70
go over with Ida. and stay to dine
with them.
All that day Ida was. OF course, In
a great state OF excitement, and could
hardly wait until It was time to &c
home.
They all sat on the veranda waiting
for the car TO come in sight.
Here it is cried Ida, racing down
tho steps as It drew up.
"Oh Daddy. Daddyl!i"

then turned to help a lady out. Did

was very nice in a way. Alfred
~ was proud OF being Ethers

was another thingl
Alfred just naturally couldn't stand
Stringy, and Stringy always treated
Alfred nicely but Alfred knew what
he thought. The fact was. Stringy was
the star pupil of the class and Alfred
only just escaped being the dumb

OF ball OF a race All wasn't the BOBBY.
II got so bad that Alfred felt that
he must do something to prove to
Ethel that even II he wasn't very
good at books there were some things
he could do better than most-espe-
cially Stringy. And he didn't have to
wait long for his chance.
Ethel and Julie and Daisy her
two chums, were going home together
after school when Alfred came along.
Never mind" he heard Daisy say1
Nobody will notice your hands"
"Oh, yes they will" replied Ethel.

anyhow I'm not stuck-up enough TO

What can I do?" Alfred thought.
as he trudged along. Then a brilliant
idea shot through his brain. "Glovesl'
He would make a pair of gloves
which would hide the warts and look
exactly like her own skin. The finger
nails he would paint on the gloves and
from a distance they would look per-

was in the kitchen baking a cake

Alfred then asked II she had an!

she let him take an old pair OF ki'

Stringy agreed. and just as they
were going into the school house. he
said: "Oh, / forgot, there's some
thing else you have to do. I'll tell
you at recess"
OF course. Ethel was very curious
to know what it was she must do,
especially as when recess came

warts first" he said. Better do It
now. The old man said It makes the
hens relish the corn"
So Daisy helped her friend put the
stuff on her warts. then they all went
home. and the first thing Miss Ethel
did was to run to her mother and ask
II she could go with her friends to the

Miss Claire could tell you that"
"He may think It cured him, but

to be able to go and try the cure. as.
although she knew Mother must be

Alfred came over and begged but
Mother wouldn't agree. So. Ethel. be-

warts aren't as bad as boils."
Alfred and Stringy were sorry, but
that didn't hinder their going to the
hen house.
Bring your books over to my house
and we'll get our lessons first" said
Stringy.
Alfred agreed. and next day Miss
Claire wondered what had got into
her worst pupil. for he sure had his
lessons down pat. Stringy's thumb

Whats the matter with your

II rubbed it too hard with the corn

"Some easy-mark" jibed Daisy. Il
wouldn't be so superstitious."
'Hts a wonderful cure. all the

And so Miss Claire thought. for ever
after that the boys took to studying
together and cumming. and her
'dumb-bell" became almost a star
pupil.
