WOULD TAKE TARIFF.
OUT OF POLITICS
manufacturers Body Asks
Question Be Controlled by
Non-PartiSan Experts.
- the Associated Press.

t. the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, November PA pro-
rosal for tariff court composed OF
partisan experts, who would hold
cflce for life, was placed before a
meeting of the National Association of
manufacturers yesterday as means OF
taking the tariff out of politics.
John E. Edgerton, president OF the
association, in advancing the plan
charged that the present Tariff Com
mission not only is political, but also
=; ineffective when relief is needed
quickly by American business interests,
because Congress must ratify far-reach-
ing rulings of the commission.
AS an instance of the reported inef-
fectiveness of the present system, he
charged that some industries have been
rut almost out of business since the
I'ordney- -McCumber act was passed
Cites Cement as Example.
Il refer particularly to the cement
industry" he added. That is on the
free list, and at the time of the pas
cage of this act it was not anticipated
that a tariff was necessary at all But
eince the act was passed, this industry
has encountered a competition that was
not foreseen. and it has been very
greatly embarrassed and its very life
Endangered by the fact that it has to
wait for the assembling of Congress
md then endless discussion after Con-
creSs meets before it can get relief from
{ condition that has so suddenly arisen.
1T is question now of how the pro-
tective policy is going to be applied
whether it is going to be applied po-
litically by Congress in a bunglesome
way, or whether it is going to be taken
IS the sort of subject that it Is and
committed as far as possible to body

ton as it should be treated"
Tariff Court Source of Relief.
The proposed tariff court, Mr.. Edger-
ton said, would, if properly endowed
with power, provide tribunal to which
manufacturers or others could appeal
end obtain immediate relief if the cir
cumStances warranted. He added the
proposed court would be composed of
tariff experts "of the caliber to be
above suggestion that they would play
politics.
Approximately 100 persons, including
representatives of the Farm Bureau
Federation. the American Dairy Fed

and most of their plight Is due to their

Everywhere on the national forests,
the Forest Service pointed out today, the

Man by his slaughter of mountain
lions, wolves, 1ynxes and other preying

Now the chief natural checks on the

BEDTIME STORIES .. ,. r"Sssss' ssssas;

feel rs If he could swallow anything.
Now. as a matter of fact. there was
good reason for Cubby's stomach to
feel queer You know. it was a long,
long time since any food had been put
into that stomach. and so that little
stomach had had nothing to do, The
result was it had shrunk; that Is to
say, it had grown smaller and smaller,
II was now so small that there was
little room'for food, That was the rea-
son it felt queer.
But if Cubby didn't feel hungry, he
did feel thirsty You will remember
that the Laughing Brook was not far
away, He shufflcd over to 1t.

for" thought he THE water was all
hard when l went to bed I couldn't
drink it."
OF course, Cubby meant that 1t was
frozen.
So Cuhby shuffied along, half whim-
pering 10 himself. for it was so long
since he had used his legs that he felt
rather stiff and uncomfortable all over.
Pretty soon he came to the bank of
the Laughing Brook He sat down and
stared at 1t Solemnly. There wasn't
any ice. The Laughing Brook was
gurgling away just as it did all Sum-
mer only little louder now. Cubby
blinked and blinked. What had hap
pened in the night while he had been
asleep? How could it be that when he
went to sleep the Laughing Brook was
frozen and now in the morning it wasn't
frozen at all? Cubby was sorely
puzzled small Bear
Presently he very gingerly approached
the water and Tapped little of 1t. It
made his mouth feel good and his
throat feel good But when it reached
his stomach 1t made the latter feel
queer. You see. little water could get
into that small organ. which, like Cubby.
had been asleep all Winter. That water
wakened 1t. Still Cubby did not feel
hungry. In fact he wouldn't feel hum
CRY for several days. He still had plenty
Of fat under his skin. and that fat was
one reason he didn't feel hungry. Really
that fat was sort of food. Not until
1t was used up would Cubby begin TO
get really hungry.
Having drank all the water he want
ed. he looked this way and looked that
way uncertainty. and finally yawned a
couple of times and went straight back
to the snug bedroom. There he curled
up beside his twin sister, who had not
vet awakened, and in a few moments
dropped off to sleep again. But this
sleep was different sleep from the long
sleep. 1t wouldn't last long.

Your Health How To Keep It.
 Causes of Illness

BY DR. MORRIS FISHBEIN Edtt0e Journal of tho AmericaD Medical Association and of Hy.
 geia, the Health Magazine A mule-sptnner Is not as one might suppose 8 person who works with the animal called mule, but a person employed in the cotton in. dustry who handles g device called q mule.
 In connection with the handling Of this device. oil is used in large amounts. The workers are con stantly sprayed by the oil and their clothing Is likely to be saturated with it.
 An investigation has revealed the fact that men who are mule. spinners are likely to suffer more than do men ordinarily with can. cer.
 Irritation Experiment
 Since it has it has been proved that cancer can be produced in mice by rubbing tar or oil regu- larly Into the skin. it has been argued that the cancer resulting in spinners k due to repeated irritation by the oil. An investigation made by tho Imperial Cancer Research Fund of Great Britain leads to the conclu- sion that this unusual form of can- cer Is due to the fact that the men bend frequently, that there is con- sant friction from the hard cloth of the overallS, and that this fric- fion is aggravated by the dye in the overalls and by the use of tight suspenders which hold the overclls rigidly against the body.
 Inquiry made in other countries indicates that cases do occur. ai- though not so frequently as in Great Britain. 4 statistician has found a considerable number of in- stances among workers in Amer ican cotton trades. and believes that more would he found if our statistics were more scientifically prepared.
 Dr. n. C. rarmenter believes that the tendency Of mill hands in the South to wear trousers with belts rather than shoulder rtrap overalIs and the tendency of mill hands in the North. the ma jority of whom wear overalls. to wear underclothing also may be partially responsible for the lessened number of cases occurring in this country.
 Friction Helps as Cause
 It is pointed out that the oil used is mineral oil. which Is not so likely to cause cancer by irri- tation as are other petroleum oils and that other portions of the body are also constantly sprayed with the oil. whereas the cancer affects single portions.
 Therefore. the authorities are more inclined to urge the impor- tance of the irritation rather than Of the oil as the responsible factor.

Anyone. by ex- ercising moderate degree of care and thought, may acquire hands and nails which will pass the beauty test. It is impossible. you know. to keep the skin white. unless it Is smooth, for grime settles in rough crevices. and it is then difficult to dislodge. Should there exist R roughened condition of the skn the first step is to overcome this roughness.

Noel Veritzen was oddly discon- certed by the news that Eleanor Lincoln was at the farmhouse. It did not take unusually keen eyes to see that. and l wondered what was the reason for his discontinue. That he had been daily caller at The Larches l knew from the irrepres- sible comments Of Katie upon the gossip which the Ticers had retailed to her. The wireless of a country reighborhood surpasses anything a Marconi can devise. Had his pique at Mary led him to filtration with Eleanor Lincoln which would make embarrassing to him her possible knowledge of his anxious request to see Mary?
 Lillian saved me a reply.
