TARIFF ISSUE
ScantineSs of Attire Con-
surnes an Idle Hour in the

WASHINGTON, June 13:-The
scantiness OF p~resent-day female at
tire was injected into the discussion
of the tariff bill on the floor of the
senate when Senator McCumber IN.
d.. in charge of the measure. re-
verted to conditions existing now as
compared with those when grand
mother was still alive" The ques-
tion came up quite unexpectedly
while the schedule on ferromangan-
csc was under consideration and
was due to a chance remark made
BIZ Senator King (Utah) while Sem
ator Underwood was IN the floor.
Our grandfathers." said Under
wood, may lot have ridden In au-
tomobiles; they may not have been
able to buy Florida Strawberries In
the middle of winter; they may not
have been able to secure their fish
out of a refrigerating plant WHICH
had kept II from time immemorial:
but their health was much bette.
they lived in more comfortable
homes, although those houses may
not have been heated by steam.
They ate better and purer food and
they had more of II, although they
may not have had the latest pat
terms from Paris and may not have
worn so many clothes. When they
bought a wooden suit they bought 1t
cheaper and 1t was all wool and not
shoddy."
THE Senator might state" inter-
rupted King of Utah. that our
grandmothers wore more clothes
than the ladies now wear"
Yes" agreed Underwood. lin our
grandmothers' time the high cost of
living had not forced the dresses
down TO the size of a pocket hand
kerchief and they really were
wrapped in some clothes that were
visible to the eye.
II am not willing 10 concede that
this stimulated growth, which has
driven the population of America
into the cities, which the senator
from North Dakota desires to keep
in order that there may be greater
markets for those engaged in agri-
culture, has improved either the
health. the morals or the living con-
ditions of the nation"
