Power From Sewage Gas.

From Australia comes a plan, re-
ported in Popular Science Monthly, to
generate an Industrial gas from the
sewage of towns. The British minis
try is investigating the claims of the
inventor as to the yield from this
source. Analysis of the gas shows that
on an average 1t consists of 60 per cent
methane, II per cent nitrogen. 8 per
cent hydrogen, IA per cent carbon
monoxide, and per cent oxygen. En-
perts declare that there is no reason
why, properly controlled, advantage
should not be taken of the bacteriolog-
ical action of sewage in septic tanks.
Tests made to determine the horse
power developed in engines resulted
very successfully.

THIS is boy scout anniver-

THIS is boy scout anniver-
sary week. 1t is twelve years
since the movement was intro
duced in America. In that
time it is estimated that two
million boys have had their
names on the membership
roll. The records show an
enrolment today of 4o3, 900
boys and IS, 600 scoutmasters
and assistant scoutmasters.
An attractive code and a
superb course of training have
made the movement a popu-
lar one. Whether it is as
effective as it is popular may
be mooted question. Not
every boy makes good in
scoutcraft, and many boys
build character and grow into
trustworthy citizenship with
out afiliating with the organ
ization. But it is pointed out
that in scout work. boys, in
conjunction with one another,
enrolled under the banner Of
a fine idealism, learn lessons
of practical value which many
would otherwise never have
the opportunity to know,
while serious application to
the duties imposed and strict
adherance to the rules pre-
scribed make for stability of
character to a degree that
must be appreciated.

OLD Love TOKENS
Years Ago All Valentines Had a
Personal Touch.
Much Of the Romance of the Day Has
Passed, Though Sentiment Is
the Same as Ever.

Three hundred years ago young mer
and women wrote their own vaien
tines. which consisted then only OF
love notices, or declarations Of affec-
tion. written in verse from a very full
heart and on plain paper. Many Of
our grandmothers saved these
old missives.
Perhaps our parents came across
such valentines, old and yellow and
decaying, packed away in lavender in
the bottom of dusty trunk up In the
attic. Yet when these valentines were
first penned and put in her hand how
grandma's heart did palpitate and the
bushes rise to her cheeks! No mat
Ter how hating the sonnet, or ana
gram or triolet, It was the music of
love to her. Heart" dart" and art"
did rhyme sweetlyl
The machine-made valentines that
we buy nowadays have lost this per-
sonal touch, though perhaps some of
them have gained from an artistic
point of view. Today 1t is only the
school children and a few open-hearted
Interested grown-ups who find the GUS
tom Of valentine making and valen-
tine giving the fascination that IT used
to be. Why, even Charles Lamb wrote
valentines, and loved to.
Now the modern young man drops
In confectioner's or florists shop and
orders candy or flowers sent to Her.
He scorns the valentine sonnet
whereby the girls of today are missing
heap of romance.
Ihis was the day when a young man
might accuse some young woman he
admired of being a coquette without
insulting her. In those days "co-
quette' had just such a naughty
meaning as 'vamp" has today. Ii
meant heartless trifer.
1t she thereupon sent him a hand
made valentine on which were two
bleeding hearts made as one, II was
her answer to his accusation. II meant
that conquering the hearts of other
men than he, meant nothing to her;
that only his heart and hers in all
the woriu counted, that her heart was ;
bleeding for him just as much as his
was suffering for her.
The comic valentine is an outgrowth
or burlesque of the super-sentimental
valentine and has almost died out. In
stead of pointing out the recipients

able skinniness or avoirdupois are us

valentines are sent anonymously, it is
possible with impunity to remark
scathingly on the physical character

foes.

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

T Under the American valuation
L plan. as proposed in the Ford
ney Tariff bill, an equalizing
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
SO cents, in Germany at 90 cents, in
England for 81. under the present
foreign valuation plan means, at a
tariff rate of 50 per cent, that Japan
would have to pay rs cents in duty,
Germany 80 cents and England SO
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 a greater amount of duty
than we charge Germany and Japan"
Mr.. Burgess asks.
Certain large importing houses and
dealers making greater profits on i'm
rorted merchandise than they think
they can make on domestic goods,
are the real opponents of the Ameri-
can valuation plan, the tariff expert
declares.
Z He answers the argument that .
American manufacturers could raise {
their prices so as to compel importers
TO pay q higher amount of duty by &
citing the following example:
Assuming foreign article to be {
worth 20 cents and the American c
article is selling at 81, it would re- c
quire 1920 of the American selling
price to equalize the difference be- c
tween the foreign and domestic val
les. Now, if the American manu- Ii
Iacturcr raises his price to SIPS. e
800 duty on this value would be |
w cents, the foreign value remain is
ng at 70 cents, the landed cost would II
e 70 cents plus 37h cents. which f
ives the foreign article the advan- W
Hge of 1871 cents in this market. V;

n automatic check on American oil
manufacturers doing this very thing. in

WILLIAM BURGESS
Member U. S. Tariff Commission

Mr.. Burgess disputes estimates of
increased selling prices of comnlodi-
ties which the Women's Consumers
Committee recently declared would
result from application of the pro-
visions of the Fordney tariff bill.
| he increases were estimated at
from 6O1o for wooden dress goods to
Izo1o for women's cotton gloves. He
says: Taking their own figures as
basis and applying the rates of tie
Fordney bill, we find that the only
additional cost to the retailer would
be the additional amount of duty re-
CURED under the Fordney BILL be-
cause all other costs and overhead
charges remain the same"
The question, Mr.. Burgess con-
cludGs, is simply whether customs
duties shall continue to be assessed
upon the foreign market value of
goods or upon the value in tho
United States, and asks whether it
IS easier to obtain information upon
their value from over ITO different
foreign countries of expectation,
With no legal power to secure such
Ialues, than it is to get this infornla-
ion in America with the full power
