FRANCO CANADIAN REINFORCEMENT

The State Department recently reported that Canadian customs duties on American automobiles and parts, bicycles, certain paper products, etc., was considerably higher than the duties on those products provided for m the Fordncv-McCumber tariff law under which we are now operating.
 On ton of this comes the information that Canada and France have signed a com mercial tariff treaty establishing preferential duties much lower than those granted to merchandise from the United States. "Under the convention," says the report, "Canadian commerce gains advantages in duties in the French market on several hundred articles, and French products are placed under the most favored nation basis in the Canadian market, representing important advantages o1 the concessions exchanged by the treaty of 1921 now in effect.' About l2O Canadian products are to enjoy the minimum rates o1 the French tariff, and 400 will get the benefit of the intermediate rates Canada grants to the products of France and her colonies and nossessions the intermediate rates of the Can adian tariff. In addition there IS restored the special schedule of the old treaty of l9O| whereby fixed rates below the intermediate column are granted to 30 important French articles; also a concession on printed cotton fabrics and voolen clothing of 15 per cent below the intermediate. The principle artl- c!es on which France will enjoy more Favorable concessions in the Canadian market than does thp United States consists of meats fish, fruits, olive oils. automobiles faces, silks, fus gloves, feathers, and moving picture films.
 The value of our sales to Canada of the above-namcd products runs high into the millions. On some of them it would appear that Canada is raising the duty so as to hit the United States. while she is lowering her rates on them below her general tariff rates in favor of France, Of course Canada main tans tho preferential rates accorded to goods from Great Britain and the British DomlnlonS. Tn other words, # would seem that Nanad ! is initiatino 9 tariff rate W9" with the United States as the particular objective,
 With respect to many items of our tariff # is provided ''that if any country, depon- doncv, province or other subdivision of gov ernment imposes duty on any article specI- fled in this paragraph, when imported from the United States in excess of the duty herein provided, there shall be imposed on such article when imported . from such country duty equal to that i'm posed by such country .' The law provides fer retaliatory action by the Presl- dent of tie United States if and when he IS satisfied that American goods are being dis criminated against by any foreign country.
 According to report the Administration has not yet displayed any disposition to retalate against Canada and possibly some under stnding may be reached between the two countries which will preclude any such action Rut Congress has clothed the Chief EXecu- tive with power to act in such matters, and that such power will be exercised when ab solutey warranted is quite certain, The sit nation will bear watching.

White Wool Spats Are
Worn Under Thin Hose

Many of the leading manufacturers
of hosiery in an attempt to cope with
fashions requests have produced mar
velous results in combination with
wool, which satisfactorily meet cold
weather demands. There is on the
market now a new idea in spats-not
a visible spat. 1t is patterned of finest
white wool and when worn under the
thfnnest hose cannot be detected.
The matter of gloves is quite impor-
tant in extending the right hand of
good fellowship, Sleeves are either
long or not at all, and sleeves are the
dictates for the glove world. There
are times when gloves are ignored,
but they are bound to be heard from
in the winter season. An air of dis
tinction can be created most decidedly
through the hand. The gauntlet cuff
is the predominating note with most
as many variations as straps in the
shoe kingdom. The Celebrations of in
sets, beads, embroideries and stitch
ings are too numerous to mention.
Fashion declares the glove, and that a
gauntlet. The individual must direct
the rest.
Many a glove carries with 1t strap
and in this, bit of chiffon, silk lace
or wolfe, riotous in color and sheerest
Of sheer in texture, another extrava-
CANT whim.

Popular Cloche Is
in Wornen's Favor
Small Chapeau Promises to
Reign Supreme Over
All Headgear.

One of the surprises of the fashion
which the small cloche chapeau re-
mains in favor, asserts a fashion
writer in the Washington Star.
Milliners seem quite oblivious to the
fact that other types might be evolved
or that change in hat fashions might
be welcome, for they continue to offer
only close-fitting helmet and turban
models. The result is that the unsus-
pecting purchaser walks into "a mil
Hnery establishment and finds many
hats designed for the fiapper with
close-cropped hair. Knots or coils of
long tresses simply can't be poked
under the glove-1tting crowns, so the
verdict is bob or be your own mil
liner"
Although each model varies a trife
from the others, they all follow the
rule OF the cloche. One, of light Alice
blue felt, has several rows of tiny
Sits cut at the front so that narrow
silver ribbons may be run through
them in a latticed pattern. Another
has folds of wide silver ribbon drawn
through openings at each side and
draped gracefully against the crown.
A third is trimmed with long, droop-
ing sprays Of feathers, dyed in con
trasting color tones, while another de-
ponds on the beauty of a soft silver
ribbon bow, placed low on one side for
its appeal.
A snappy costume suit is rather I'M
usual, for it consists of one-piece
frock, severely plain. and has mar
row coat so long that it comes well be-
low the kneeline. The fabric is called
chenille and has a soft, velvet-like
raised surface that follows a striped

VARIOUS GOOD WAYS
OF COOKING RABBIT

prepared by the United States Department

Before cooking, rabbit should be
washed carefully in cold water and
patted dry with a clean lowell, says
the United States Department of Ag-
riculture. It may then be stuffed and
trussed if it is to be cooked whole, or
cut into or 10 pieces. Young, ten
der rabbits may be simply dredged
with flour, salt and pepper and fried
in fat, like fried chicken. Sausage
fat gives a particularly good flavor to
fried rabbit.
Many dishes may be prepared after

bones in large pieces, the broth thick

a pastry or biscuit crust Any broth

pattern. Sable squirrel is used to trim
it, forming an exceptionally high
choker collar and banding the lower
part of the coat. A plaque of dull blue
adds a touch of color contrast to the
costume and serves, besides, as fas-
tening for the collar. The sleeves
are interesting, for instead of being
cuffed in fur, as might be expected
they are finished with wide circular
folds Of self-material.

Novelties Will Help
Add Cheer to Outfit

If you are ill, feeling low and I'M
happy, new frock or even new tag
of trimming somewhere about your
costume peps up your spirits most
wonderfully and makes the sickness
seek cover. And, if a lowness of en-
ergy puts itself upon you just as one
season is passing into another, why
not look to the state of your clothes
to see whether or not you can make
regenerations in that direction to the
end of saving your own soul?
Haven't you often heard girl say,
just at this special season of the year,
ooh, I'm so tired of my clothes; l
just hate to put on the same old
things when l get up in the morning"
And haven't you felt for her then be-
cause your own case had shown
symptoms of that very essence at SO
many times?
Well, one knows perfectly well that
a girl can't always afford whole new
frock or coat just for the purpose of
reviving her sunken spirits-and just
on a chance at that. But she can
have new fol-de-rol or fixing for a
dress that is only monotonous and
not old
She can add luster in this man
ner, and with very little expense, SO
that she can take chance a. least
on the process of her own home doc
toring. She can in this manner take
a little excursion of her own into the
methods of modern nerve treatment,
and who knows but she may rbe es-
tablishing a precedent-at least for
herself, which is her most important
concern at any rate.
