CINGI.Y and in little groups, spring
y hats have been venturing out Of
their boxes and into the chill but bright
and promising days OF late winter
In the northern states. In warmer
cimes sport hats for spring, and
some others Of different character
have fiourished under summer skies,
and they have set the pace for spring
understanding that there Is TO be
great diversity in styles, especially in
the matter of size.
This point Is apparent in the group
of hats shown here. The earliest hats,
as usual. are made OF fabrics, or fab
rics and braid combined, and there is
much hand work on them. The group
pictured includes the range in size
and the shapes are popular. The wide
brimmed hat at the top, Of silk-fiber
braid, is faced with crepe de chine and
trimmed with a series of bows gradu-
ated in size, with loops Of faille ribbon
that stand up about the crown and 9th
ers that lie fiat on the brim. 1t IS a be-
coming shape and a practical hat de-
veloped in the softest colOrs Of a
colorful season. Below it is model
that will look particularly we'll with

Michigan Northern
Seeking Approval

Application for approval Of the pro-
posed Michigan Northern railway run
ming from Lansing to Grand Ledge,
Westphalia, Fowler, Mt. Pleasant and
Midland has been filed with the Inter
state Commerce Commission at Wash
ington, ID. c., which indicates that the
proposed road is not yet a dead issue,
although the hackers of the enterprise
have previously been denied approval
by the commission.
Notice of the filing of the applca-
ton has been given to Governor Groes-
beck and to the Michigan Central
Railroad, this simply being one of the
legal steps that are necessary in the
matter.
1t is the plan of the company to
operate the line first between Grand
Ledge and Lansing, using gasoline
equipment exclusively. 1t is said that
the company now has the right of way
the entire distance between Lansing
and Grand Ledge and that it is only
a matter Of laying the track to put
the line into operation that far.

New Tariff Plan Would
Help Our Debtors To Pay
Government Expert Shows How
American Valuation Would Re-
move Unfair Customs Discrimin-
alton.

7 UNDER the American valuation
plan. as proposed III the Ford
ncy Tariff bill an cqualizing
effect upon the commerce OF the
United States with all nations with
which we trade would be one OF the
first and most desirable results, ac-
cording to William Burgess member
of the United States Tariff Com
mission.
A similar article sold in Japan at
50 cents, in Germany at 90 cents, in
England for 81, under the present
foreign valuation plan means at a
tariff rate OF so per cent, that Japan
would have 10 pay 25 cents IN duty,
Germany 80 cents and England 80
cents Under the proposed American
valuation, Mr.. Burgess points out
that the importation OF this article
would cause each of the exporting
countries to pay exactly the same
amount OF duty, regardless OF cost
OF production.
Thus, he shows, the present dis
elimination in favor Of low-cost
countries would be removed. This
also would result in helping our
debtor nations to pay their debts to
us. )Our debtor nations are Great
Britain, France and Italy.
How are we going TO help these
nations to pay their debts by charg-
ing them greater amount OF duty
than we charge Germany and Japan r
Mr.. Burgess asks.
Certain large importing houses and
dealers making greater profits on i'm
ported merchandise than they think
they can make on domestic goods,
are the real opponents OF the Ameri-
can valuation plan, the tariff expert
declares
He answers the argument that
American manufacturers could raise
,hcir prices SO as to compel importers
TO pay higher amount OF duty by
citing the following example:
Assuming foreign article to be
worth 20 cents and the American
article is selling at 81. it would re-
qure 500 Of the American selling
price to equalize the difference be-
tween the foreign and domestic val
ucs. snow. IL the American manu-
facturer raises his price 10 Sis,
500 duty on this value would he
TIl cents. the foreign value rcnaiit-
ing at 20 cents. the landed cost would
lie 20 cents plus IN cents, which
gives the foreign article the advan-
iage OF 1871 cents in this market.
The American valuation plan places
al automatic check on American
manufacturers doing this very thing.

cities want daylight saving because it
gives their people more time to play;

interferes with the work of the farm
