THE SOUTH WANTS
AIL-AMERICAN TARIFF.


WASHINGTON, April Blast
week representatives OF hfty-seven
basic industries of the South, from
every southern state, met in Wash
ington TO urge Congress to pass a
protective tariff on products OF
southern industries. Declaring that
two-thirds OF the people OF the
South depend upon these industries
for a livelihood and after carefully
considering the Senate bill. they
asked amendments granting high
rates, and again reiterated their
conviction, that a protective tariff
based upon foreign valuation would
protect no one" They demanded
that the Senate amend the bill by
basing all ad valorem rates upon
the wholesale selling price of the
foreign article in the American
market.
The slogan, originated by Senator
Gooding, that Congress pass an ALI
American tariff" before adjourn
ment, has been endorsed by a large
number of senators. so that ma
jority is assured when the final vote
is taken but. because OF foreign
propaganda and the expensive qgi-
tation OF importers and department
stores. who are buying cheaply
abroad and selling at high prices in
the American market, the producers
and workers of the country are pre-
pared for hard tight to bring about
an early passage of the bill. The
opposition, convinced that It cannot
defeat the bill. is exerting every eff
fort to delay the final vote by log
rolling and debate.

I'VE cannot import our prosper

producer and consumer are protect

HAD HIGHEST SOCIAL IDEAS
Marriage Relations Among Early AS
syrians Subjected to the strictest
Code OF Human Laws.

Marriage relations among the early
Assyrians were subject to strict code
OF laws, It IS now learned from a val
uablc cultural document made ac-
cessible to the scientific world IN n
German translation Of the cunelform
text preserved in the Asiauc division
of the Berlin Ethnographical museum.
The early Assyrian lawmakers had
this code inscribed on a set OF clay
tablets, uncarthed during the excaya-
tons Of the German Asiatlc society in
Mesopotnmia. BY comparing this find
with other prehistoric documents, the
date Of these tablets has been estab-
lishcd around 100 Il. c., which would
coincide with the reign Of Tiglat-Pile-
sar |.
The rights and duties Of married
women and the punishments imposed
for Tie mfrinccments OF these laws,

lion have always been regarded as n
reliable barometer OF It's culture, this
discovery throws an interesting light
upon early Assyrian social conditions.

SENT DIRECT FROM JUPITER
Ancient Peoples Had Odd Belief Con.
corning Otherwise Unaeeount-
able Shower of Frogs.

Showers Of frogs must have been
common enough in ancient Greece,
seeing that Aristotle gives them a par
tlcular name. Abiding to the pre-
yailing idea OF his time, which sup
posed them to come from Heaven, he
called them messengers Of Jupiter
Two carefully observed instances in
modern times have especially wrought
conviction among the learned.
The first was attested by a whole
company Of soldiers, who during the
French Revolution, were Oh n march
towards the north OF France. In the
open country they were assaulted by
shower OF little toads which were
dashed In their faces, falling with
torrents Of water. Astonlshed at such
an unwonted attack, and DESTROYS of
satisfying themselves as to whether
this living shower came from above,
the soldiers spread out their handker-
chiefs on level with their heads,
and found they were soon covered.
After the storm, the establishment
was general when the soldiers saw
this unexpected brood leaplng about in
the folds Of their cooked hats.
The second well-attested shower Of
toads fell in 1884, In the town Of Ham,
in Germany, when the streets, roofs
and cutters were Immediately filed
with n great number Of these young
creatures.

Fuses Prevent Fires.

When an electric current flows
through a wire it makes the wire
warm, explains Popular Science DIFF
ferent materials resist the flow to diff
ferent extents and are accordingly
heated to different degrees. Fuse wire
is made Of an alloy containing a large
proportion of lead, which gets very
warm when large currents pass
through 1t. Furthermore. since this
alloy melts easily, the current, if large
enough, may cause the fuse wire to
melt.
Wherever current Is being CONSUMED
In the house or factory, piece Of fuse
wire Is put somewhere in the circuit.
II through accident or design too much
current should be used, the fuse wire
will melt. or, as Is usually described,
blow" and stop the flow of current
before the copper wire inside the walls
can heat up and set fire to the house.

No Standard Of WEIGHT.

The bureau OF railway economics
says there is no standard for the

entirely on the traffic the particular
road Is handling, Usually rails are
not measured by the foot, but by the
yard. Formerly railroads used the
S0-pound rail per yard, but now most
roads use the 1OOpound rail. The Vlr.
