Ancient Card Playing
Taxed Dull Brains

London, April 22-(A. P. by MaiD
Gard games of the middle ages re-
quired much more time than the card
games of today because the brains of
the people CT that period were much
slower than the modern mind, ac-
cording to card playing experts who
have inspected a rare old collection
Of cards shown recently at the City
Of London Guildhall Library.
The collection consisted of IL va
rieties, the earliest pack being. that
Of the 18th century. 1t has crude
fanciful figures etched on thin plates
of horn, backed with paper.
Several decks date between 1714
and 1865 and are known as geography
packs. They are complicated maps
and much information concerning the
countries of the world. The cards OF
1880 are adorned with sketches show
ing incidents in various fables with
verse.
Five hundred years ago peoples
brains worked SO much slower than
they do at the present time that 1t
was natural there should be interest
ing matter for the players to read
while awaiting their turn to play, in
the opinion of modern card experts.

Bill To Repeal
Flexible Part
Of Tariff Law

Washington, d. C.-Repeal of
the flexible provisions of the tar
if law proposed in bill introduce
ed in the houSe Monday by Repre-
sentative Hull Dem, TENN, a
member of the ways and means
committee and former chairman
of the Democratic national COM
mittee. The bill forms one of a
series to be presented by Demo
Gratis in a concerted attack upon
the Fordney- McCumber tariff
law. Mr.. Hull declared that the
flexible provision is subject to at
tack on constitutional grounds.
at was the general attitude of
the majority party in control that
they would undertake to fix the
tariff rates amply high from their
own viewpoint and that they would
insert this socalled flexible tariff
provision in order that the Presi
dent might later readjust the
rates." said Mr.. Hull. Expert
ence has demonstrated that this
flexible scheme has in practice
only operated one way, with trivial
exceptions, and that has been to
raise the tariffs. The administra
ton of the flexible provision has
been virtually a farce from the
beginning"
