THE FACE OLE LINCOLN.

It is fortunate for the world that so
many fine portraits of the Immortal
Lincoln were preserved.
There is no more extra aordinary face
in history than that of Lincoln You
cannot look upon any of his many like
nesses without being fascinated. so
true and simple and splendid is every
one-''like some tall peak" amongst
a range of notable peaks, yet nobler
than them all.
It is, first of all, a humanitarian
face-gentle. clean. generous. sincere,
Intelligent sad-yet showing every
evidence of humor, hidden deep
Such a face would be picked out
among thousands or more-and
studied with interest.
There IS the expansive brow, sienifi-
cant of breadth and soundness of
thInking-the high and prominent
cheek bones. telling of latent strength
and to!erance-the strong nose, the
heavy tho finely compressed lips, out
standing chin, the wen formed ears
and, most appealing os all. the eyes

sHAL1 EGGS BE TAxEpg

Increasing Fefinements of manipu-
lat:on and specialization in the baking
and food industries have caused q
rapid expansion in the consumption
of dried and frozen whole eggs, as
we'll as of ;.lbumen and yoik similarly
preserved" says the United States
tariff commission in its fifth annual
repoUt. Imports are almost entirely
in the form of these egg products, of
which China is the great source of
supply. Dried egg products come al
most entirely from China. The egg
product industries afford an outlet for
millions of dozens of inferior or
cracked eggs that would otherwise be
wasted.
The Democrats put eggs on the free
list and made radical reduction in the
duties on egg products. The result
was, great quantities of egg prepara-
tions began to flow in from China.
During the past three years imports of
these preparations. it is said.- have
averaged over 25.960.000 pounds an
nually. over 100000 dozen eggs
are reported to have come in last year.
The Fordney tariff bill now pend
ing provides a duty of 6 cents a dozen
on imports Of eggs in the shell, cents
pound on frozen or otherwise pre-
pared or preserved eggs, and IS cents
a pound en- dried egg products.
Every man, woman and child in the
United States is a consumer of eggs
in one form or another. A large ma
jority, naturally, is interested in buy
ing as cheaply as possible. Despite
the fact that eggs have been admitted
to this country free of duty the price
has remained uniformly high.
It would be interesting to know just
how many persons. if any, in this
country are demanding a tariff on
eggs. Even 6 cents dozen added 70
the prevailing price would prove an
added burden to millions of persons
in this country. 1t would bear heav
| lily especially on the laboring classes
IN the cities, Probably there is no
other food product except grain that
enters SO universally into the daily
menu as do eggs.

In laying the arms conference
treaties before the senate President
Harding said: IF we cannot join in
making effective these covenants for
peace. and stamp this conference
with Americas approval, we shall dis
credit the influence of the republic,
render our efforts futile and unlikely
and write Encouragement where today
the world is ready to acclaim new
hope" Something similar to this was
said when the Versailles treaty was
submitted for ratification, but a pres
idential election then was near at
hand. Besides a large number of sem
ators had banded together to defeat
eny treaty that President Wilson
might submit. The outlook for rati-
fication of these treaties therefore
is brighter than it was for the pre-
