BY FREDERIC WILLIAM VILE.

Before he leaves for his Summer va
cation President Coolidge will be call
ed upon to decide the weighty and
seaSonahle question of the price of
next years straw hats. For the last
few days the United States Tariff Com
mission has been holding protracted
hearings on the subject. OF the TO-
000, 900 new straw hats worn by Amer
leans from Summer to Summer about
2,250,000 are imported. OF that mum.
Der about 100000 come from Italy.
The straw hat manufacturers of the
United States desire to prevent the
entry of foreign-made hats on the
ground that they are produced so
| much more cheaply than they can be
| made in this country. To that end
they have petitioned the Tariff Com
| mission to raise the present duty of
so per cent on imported straw hats to
80 per cent.
Every angle Of the straw hat situa-
ton was discussed by witnesses who
appeared before the Tariff Commits
sion. They included manufacturers,
importers and spokesmen of trade
unions. 1t developed in the course of
the hearings that up to the war the
United States produced practically all
the straw hats it wore. Now, owing
to cheap labor in countries like Italy,
foreign hats can be landed in America
at prices with which our manufac-
turers cannot compete. They are,
therefore, asking the Tariff Commits
sion to act under the elastic provisions
of the tariff law, which permit rates
to be raised whenever it can be estab-
lished that unfavorable competitive
conditions exist.
Italy's Cheap Production.
Italy's postwar economic develop
! ment, with a population of 1000. 900
souls, has made it possible for Italian
manufacturers to turn out straw hats
the same cost in the United States, or
less. One of the popular Italian
straws, made at Cigna, north of Flor
ence, represents a cost Of only about
so cents when 1t reaches New York
By the time this same hat, at the out
set of the Summer straw season, is Of
fered for retail sale, 1t Is priced around
81. The present tariff on a Cigna hat
amounts to 80 cents. The American
manufacturers want the duty raised
so that it will amount to 45 cents.
This would nearly double the price Of
an Italian straw hat when landed in
New York. It might not double the
retail price when offered to the con-
sumner, but it would almost certainly
increase the price substantially.
The expectation of the American
manufacturers, of course, is that the
higher rate on imported straws would
keep them out altogether. Next year.
straw hat trade, rather than this sea.
sons business, is involved. Buyers for
foreign hats are now in Italy and
| Great Britain, placing orders for 1926
delivery. 1t is their operations that
| will be affected by the recommends.

| mission and by President Coolidge s

SEEK HELP OF HIGHER TARIFF

ing the tariff will probably be laid be-
fore the President within 80 days.
In respect of labor costs American
manufacturers are at g. heavy diSad-
vantage, but they are on the same
footing with foreign competitors as
far as raw material for straw hats is
concerned. This comes almost eX-
clusively from Japan and China. 1t
is known as braid, and consists of
rice straw, steamed, and with the
joints cut out. Every particle of braid
is woven by human hands. Practi-
cally all hat-making countries have to
buy their braid from Japan and China
which exports 1t. literally, by the mile.
Great Britain has somewhat of an
edge on America in the bleaching and
dyeing Of braid for conversion into
straw hats.
One of the witnesses heard by the
Tariff Commission is a man who de-
scribed himself as the leading maker
of low-priced American straw hats.
He claimed to possess a virtual mo-
nopoly in the production of S1.65
straw hats. One of them was handed
around among the members of the
commission, and they all guessed that
1t probably retailed for twice as much.
The manufacturer of these cheap hats
opposes keeping out Italian straws.
His thory is that if Cigna headgear
is barred by high tariff the popularity
of cheap straw hats in general may
diminish.
During the past two and one-half
years the Tariff Commission has made
eight recommendations under the
elastic provisions of the FordneyMc-
Cumber law. In six cases the Presi
dent has been advised to revise rates
upward, and in every one of those
cases presidential action ensued along
those lines. In two cases-sugar and
linseed oil-presidential proclamation
has not followed the commission IS
recommendations. Mr.. Coolidge was
advised to lower the rates on sugar.
The commissions findings about lin,
seed oil have not been made public.

mains for hours, neutralizing
acids-preventing Acid Decay

IF YOU look closely, you can see
the V-shaped crevices formed
by the joining of teeth and gums.
You will find these tiny crevices
on the outside of the teeth, in
between the teeth and in back
of the teeth. They form The
Danger Line.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1925-05-17

The greatest caution is neces-
sary to keep this thin, delicate
edge of gum tissue intact. A
tooth brush that is too stiff, a
dentifrice containing powerful
astringents, gritty abrasives or
strong antiseptics will cause If
ritation of this gum edge. Then
the gums recede from the teeth.
the small lodges break down, and
the V-shaped crevices widen.
Food collects in these tiny
crevices at The Danger Line.
1t ferments and forms acids
which lead to Acid Decay-some-
times to Pyorrhea unless you
neutralize these acids as they
form, by protective measures.
The truth about Pyorrhea
Only proper care of the gums
at The Danger Line will prevent
Pyorrhea-for Pyorrhea cannot
occur as long as the fine, thin
edge of gum tissue remains in
tact and free from infection. 1t
is highly important to keep the
teeth clean and protect the gums.
