Trade Advice From Manila.
Form Letters Called q Nuisance
US. Stamps Are Useless There.

From the American Chamber OF Commerce
journal. ManiId, r. I.
We have before US a letter addressed
TO an American in Manila by a United
States business concern. Tt is q, form
letter, obviously so from the difference
In color between the salutation and the
text. 1t is dated March 20, 1922. and
begins as follows
Surprised that you did not answer
our courteous letter of March 16, with
inclosed stamp for reply. Perhaps II
miscarried.r TN
1t takes a full month for mail from
the United States to reach the Philip
pines. Yet this concern sent scores, and
perhaps hundreds. of letters to the
islands on March 20 expressing surprise
that no reply had been received to a
letter mailed on March 10. Not only
that. but each letter mailed on March
16 contained two cent United States
postage stamp, which is of no value for
postage purposes in the islands.
Letters such as these are worse than
useless. They create positive anirnus
against the render. And they represent
q big waste of money. The above series
of two letters together with the postage
stamp incloscd must have cost about ten
cents gold an address. and the money
was absolutely wasted. This is only one
instance OF scores of others that con-
stantly come TO the observation of local
residents and business firms. Obviously
n large percentage of American business
houses are not conversant with tho
geography or the postal regulations Of
the Philippines. The amount of money
wantonly wasted annually through this
species Of ignorance must be enormous.

F$I8,4O6 PAID AS DUTY
ON YALE'S- NEW CHIMES
Protest to Be Filed on Ground
They Are Works Of Art.

New HAVEN, Conn, July 27.-The
United States Custom Office here to-day
received a check for $1s,A06 as the
duty on the new chimes in the tower
of the Harkness Memorial Quadrangle
at Yale University. 1t was paid by
Marc Fidlitz & Sons Company Of New
York, which had the contract for in
stallipg the bells.
The contractors, however. plan to file
a protest at the New York customs
office within thirty days, based on their
contention that the chimes are works
OF art and not musical instruments, as
customs officials maintained. The
chimes were made In Loughboropgh,
England.

"Shoo Fly" Published Anonymously

the old time song "Shoo Fly" was first
published II was not known who wrote II.
The stage partner of an actor friend
of mine named Rollin Howard had the
song published in Boston by Catlin'a
Music House on fremont street in 1870.
Catlin was then a well known orchestra
leader also. Howard did not claim to
be the author OF the song.

To get the cost of that ton of coal
down to any appreciable extent SO
that the consumer may be.afit, obvi
ously the two principal expense
items must be reduced. Nothing else,
not all the rest, would count. If the
operators were willing to mine and
sell their coal at no profit at all,
this wiping out the whole Of their
5S cents OF margin would still leave
the mine cost beyond ST.. To make
any worth while cut for the benefit
of the consumer. say 20 per cent. OF
the whole present cost, labor and ma
terial would have to contribute the
bulk because these two items ac-
count for $6.03 out of the total oper-
ating cost of SILT.
You could wipe everything else ex-
cept taxes clean off the slate and
there would be taken out of the total
operating cost only "A cents. But
ct course you could no more wipe
out the selling expense, administra-
tion expense and depletion and de-
probation charges without stopping
the business than you could wipe out
the taxes. Only with a 20 per cent.
hweep of everything except taxes
could as much as $1.25 a ton come
off for the benefit of the consumer
A similar cut of 90 per cent. in the
operators margin would amount to
about liz cents more, or, say, s1.S7
in all for the benefit of the consumer.
But that ton of coal at the mine
has to take on more cost to get to the
consumer. 1t costs about SO to haul
1t by rail to New York city, about
$3.50 to haul it to Washington, and
all the way up to SIS to haul it to other
big Eastern cities.
For the New York city consumer,
then, the painful fact is that after
the freight bill is paid the actual cost
Of the coal landed, not in the bin but
at New York, foots up, without a cent
of operators profit, s1O.17. But the
ton of coal still has to be taken out
of the railroad cars, put in the stor-
age yards and later delivered to the
consumer. The cost of doing this,
which is nearly all labor cost, runs
between So and SO ton more.
The operating, rail hauling, local
handling and final delivery, there
fore, without penny of profit for
the producer or for the jobber and
retailer, pile up cost of from $12.17
to $13.17 ton. And only few years
ago you paid less than half that for a
ton of anthracite put in your cellar,
and with the producers, jobber's and
retailers profits all counted in.
There is just one way to get the
consumers price of anthracite down
to a figure where he can notice the
reduction. 1t is to cut the labor
cost at the mine, cut the transporta-
tion cost on the railroad and cut the
labor cost of handling In the consum-
er's city, town or village. BY those
official figures OF the National Geo.
logical Survey there is no other place
out of which can come reduction
that would be anything more than
microscopic.
Well, what Is going to be done
about it during the strike and after
the strike?

Commissioner Robert e. Tod Of the
Ellis Island immigration station made
public denial yesterday Of report from
Washington intimating that he had
recommended to James J. Davis. Secre-
tary of Labor, the abolition of the
Board OF Immigrant Appeals which the
Secretary had established on Ellis
Island.
The Commissioner said the board was
not abolished at his instance. On the
| contrary he said that he had requested
the appointment of such a board with q
view to eliminating the long. roundabout
formalities In Washington by which
aliens had suffered and Ellis Island
made oyercrowded. Cutting out red tape
was his object. he said. and he. will
urge upon the Washington authorities
the necessity OF some means of making
more speedy decisions at the nations
main gateway. so that detentions may
be lessened and congestion prevented.
He added:
1T is very necessary that something
be done to expedite final disposal of the
cases of appeals of immigrants who
have been excluded by the boards Of
special inquiry. ! am aware that the
law gives the Secretary of Labor alone
the power of discretion--that Is. of ad-
mitting aliens under bond. or otherwise
after they have been excluded by the
boards of special inquiry.
Delay in Washington.
''But as long as there Is a board in
Washington to review the cases and
make recommendations to the Secretary
Of Labor it would be Just as legal to
have another board at the main gate
way and far more advantageous, be-
cause the Ellis Island board could be al
ways on the ground and come face to
face with the alien instead Of having to
depend upon the written record solely
for it's conclusions"
Mr.. Tod said that he did not oppose
the formaHty Of sending the reports of
the Ellis Island board Through the Of
flee Of Commissioner-Genera Husband"
to the Secretary Of Labor. but he did
oppose sending such reports to the Com
missiener-Generafs Office only to have
them sent to the other board Of ap-
peals functioning in Washington. &
Days Instead of Weeks.
Hes said that by having the appeal
board on Ellis Island cases could be
determined and the aliens released to
their kindred, or deported within two
days, even If their recommendations had
to b. sent to the bureau, provided the
bureau would promptly turn them over
to the Secretary Of Labor
But, IL the bureau delivered them to
another board in Washington to be
threshed over a second time before they
ever reached the Secretarys hands. Mr..
Tod said, nothing could be gained. as
1t would still be q matter of weeks in
stead of days before final disposition
could be made.
The Ellis Island Commissioners, It is
understood, has suggested that q con-
ference be held at an early date with
a view to restoring the board which has
lately been abolished after only two
weeks of endeavor on Ellis Island. 1t

"Hook-up" is a term used by radio

There are several ways of hook

three of these in the diagram. First.

or 80 ohms. The amateur one-part
head piece. which is also about rs
ohms. is not quite satisfactory either
although it serves the purpose. It
brings the message to only one ear
and allows other sounds to interfere.
two-part head set of from 1000
to 5000 ohms is very satisfactory.
