The ridicule to which Rear Ad-

him ever to attain that station.
This was the privately expressed
opinion of many high officials of
the navy yesterday. The thought

by Farragut, Porter and Dewey.
was one, they said, that could not
be taken seriously.
That this belief is shared by Sec
rotary DENLY was indicated when
he let II be known that he contem-
plates taking no action in the case.
With an ill-concealed smile, he de-
clared that he did not regard Sims
activities as calling for any official
action by himself or the department.
There was an entirely different
attitude throughout the Navy De-
partment and in other official cir

was denounced In rounded terms,
yesterday there was more of a dis
position to treat II, because of it's
obvious impossibility. as a joke. II

BY EDWIN J. cLAPP.
MONTREAL, Feb. 25-Today set out to confirm
the sugar statement made in the signed protest Of
twenty three members of the agricultural bloc in the
House at Washington this week. They said that the
Canadian sales tax is responsible for the considerable
difference in cost of living between Canada and the
United States.
The specific instance given in the bloc's protest
that in January sugar costing cents pound in
the United States and 10 in Canada the spread
being due to the effect of the sales tax, which Canada
has and we have not.
SUGAR PRICE EXPLAINED.
put the question to H. c. Beatty, secretary of the
Canadian Wholesale Grocers' Association. He said
Your agricultural bloc men are misinformed. In
the first place. any difference of cents between your
sugar prices and ours is quite abnormal
II wonder what day in January it could have
been The normal spread is only half that much.
Today for example, the wholesale price Of sugar in
New York is $510 hundred pounds, and in Montreal
$3.50, the spread being under 2 cents pound.
1.-THE sales tax has nothing to do with this price
difference for the simple reason that sugar is one OF
the many commodities exempted from our sales tax.
'Then what is the why sugar is cents higher
here than in the States?'
why, the same reason that makes commodities In
general higher here than in your country It costs
more to get our raw material and our customs duty Is
higher We do not manufacture your vast scale, and
cannot reach the low manufacturing costs Of big
American plants
BUY SUGAR IN NEW YORK
To-day with the st. Lawrence closed by ice, must
buy sugar in New York. Then we pay 80 cents
hundred pounds freight and duty of $169, which is
cents higher than the American duty. Then we have
further loss of 10 cents hundred pounds because
our money is deprecated

of House sentiment on the subject.
"A sales tax would penalize every
ex-soldier and compel him to pay

"A proposed sales tax would shift
the greater part Of q half-billion

LESSONS IN BASEBALL
Holding the Bat in Balance
pyright, 1922, by the International Syndicate

Whether lie uses long or a short
bat, chokes it, or holds it at the extreme
end, uses the standard grip of the Cobb
Wagner split grip, hands some four
inches apart on the bat handle-every
player should be careful to hold his bat
in proper balance. Some bats balance
best when held at the extreme end,
others when held some or 6 inches
from the end, others when held II or
more inches (choked) from the end.
The bat should be held where it balances
best. Very strong men can hold their
bats out of balance yet achieve good
results. Wagner, Ruth and other giants
can hold the bat any way they please.
They are very strong. Weaker men
cannot hold bat out of balance and
achieve best results.
Most boys and amateurs have no idea
of proper bat balance. They use bats
that do not suit them, hold them out of
balance, etc. Hard and fast rules can
not be laid down for using or holding
bats. However it may be said that:
Tall boys cannot use long bat with
good effect.
Short boys cannot use long bat with
good effect.
If tall boy uses a short bat balls
pitched at his knees will worry him a
lot. He cannot reach them with ease.
If short boy uses q long bat he will
be handicapped in hitting low balls for
the bat will be too long and he must
elevate his hands, pull up on the bat,
to lay the blade on the ball. Then a
