Some light last night was thrown on

Edward Everett Gam, sister and official.
hostess of Vice President Curtis, when
Mr.. Curtis was the dinner guest of the
former Ambassador to Japan and Mrs.
Larz Anderson, but in the absence there
OF any members of the diplomatic corps,
the principal question at issue was not
faced.
The party, however, was given added
official significance from the fact that
the Secretary of the Navy and Mrs.
Adams and Senator and Mrs. Sackett
were guests. AS at the White House
dinner the evening before, no question
was raised as to the ranking place of
Mrs. Gam. Just as President Hoover
took Mrs. Gam in to dinner and seated
her at his right, so Mr.. Anderson fol-
lowed suit, Mrs. Anderson having the
Vice President on her right. Mrs. Gam
therefore ranked above the other guests.
Hostesses Use Tact.
It has been the custom of the most
successful hostesses Of Washington not
10 ask Ambassadors and the Vice Presi-
dent to the same dinner parties, nor yet
to ask on the same occasion AmbaSSa-
doris and the Chief Justice of the SUI
preme Court, nor again, foreign Min
listers and justices of the Supreme
Court. Where the State Department
has for years left the question of preci-
dence unsettled, they simply steer clear
of the pitfal by giving additional din
ners, dividing the guests in manner
to raise no question.
Mrs. Richard H. Townsend, who in
more than 80 years of entertaining
members of Washington society, both
official and unofficial, is said to never
have committed faux pas. and this is
her solution of the problem: When
there is question. give another dinner
party and do not subject your guests to
embarrassment.

created a demand for automobiles, Sir
Richard said.
Bid Made for Tourista
Every road is so designed as to open
up to view the scenic beauties OF the
island and each one leads to some
village whence may be seen a vista OF
the ocean or some sheet OF blue water
American radio sets have been q
boon to Newfoundland fisherfolk and
thousands of dollars worth OF electri-
cal equipment have gone from this
country to equip hydroelectric plants
and for domestic purposes.
The American manufacturer of paints
might do well to expand his market in
Newfoundland, it is pointed out. The
fishermen demand paint for their boats
as well as for their houses, which are
principally frame structures, and they
have shown a preference for American
paint.
Foodstuffs may be ranked as the most
important item of imports from the
sSInited States, though their total value
Is not the greatest. Owing to the short
Summer. vegetables and fruits arc
grown only in limited quantities. There
are no orchards, though some apples
are raised. Strawberries, raspberries
and gooseberries are grown in limited
amounts. Potatoes, turnips and cab
bages are the principal vegetables. Most
OF these things are produced on home
acres and III quantity sufficient only for
family consumption.
Canned Goods in Demand.
This is why the demand for canned
products from the United States Is
steadily growing. Canned peaches,
pears, cherries and all sorts of canned
vegetables are required. American
breakfast bacon is imported, as well as
large quantities of evaporated and con-
densed milk. Sugar, candy, chewing
gum and dried fruits are other items.
During the last two years Newfound-
land has begun what may be termed a
fruit swap. Sir Richard called atten-
ton to the fact that blueberries were
being shipped to the New York and
Boston markets.
Upon transportation and refrigera-
ton, Sir Edward declared, rests also the
development of new phase of the
island fishing industry. It is known
that there is a large demand in the
United States for fresh filet of cod. AT
present this demand cannot be met.
but plans are being fostered by the
government to increase the shipments.
Industries Encouraged.
1t is the policy of the present New
foundland government, it is stated, to
encourage manufacturing, mining and
the development of the forest indus
tries. The practically limitless posi-
bilities for hydroelectric installations
gives basic condition on which such
activities may be expected to develop
along lines Of greater efficiency.
The lumber industry is already the
second in importance In the island,
fishing holding first rank. It Is eSti-
mated that Newfoundland stands OF
timber are capable of producing 80
100000 cords Of pulp wood. The Harms

are operating a pulp and paper plant
having a daily output of $50 tons and
another plant on the west coast pro-
duces 400 tons daily. Some Of this
finds its way to the United States.
Mineral resources offer an investment
field for American capital. it Is de-
clared. The Wabana mines, on the
east coast, are estimated to contain
from 100000 to 100000 tons of re-
coverable iron ore. Mining operations
there extend for more than mile from
shore and are said to be 1000 feet be-
low the ocean floor. Deposits Of copper.
limestone. silver-bearing lead ores, slate
and gypsum are awaiting capital and
improved working methods to be more
profitable.
Sir Richard Squires is the leader Of
the Liberal party In Newfoundland. He

party at the polls last November when
it carried 20 of the 40 seats in the
House Of Assembly.

i. s. TRADE DROPS
IN NEWFOUNDLAND
Increasing Demand Noted for
American Goods, Sir Rich.
ard Squires Says.

Special Dispatch TO The Star.
NEW YORK, March 9-Commercial
relations between the United States and
Newfoundland should be marked by a
steady expansion in the near future. ac-
cording to Sir Richard Anderson
Squires, prime minister of Newfound-
land, who. with Lady Squires, recently
passed few days here.
During the World War the United
States gained first place in the import
trade Of Newfoundland, but by 1925.
owing to the commercial activities Of
Canada and England-the other chief
sources of supply of products for con-
sumption in the island-the United
States had dropped to third place.
Since goods from this country are ad-
mitte6 to Newfoundland on an equal
tariff basis with those from Canada and
England it is felt that this oldest Of
Englands colonies offers market well
worth cultivating by the United States
producer
Island Important Market.
Newfoundland's premier. however,
pointed out that with an annual trade
Of approximately $60,000,o 900, with easy
and regular connections with the out
side world, both by rail and by steamer,
and with constantly rising standard
Of living to industrial expansion. the
people of the island constituted a
steadily growing market for American
goods.
Sir Richard called attention to the
fact that already the United States was
setting the fashion in clothes for St.
Johns, the capital of the island, and
for the smaller towns and outlying dis
trictS.
The number of native Newfound-
1anders in this country is one-fourth
as great as the total on the island. Sir
Richard said. They are residents chief
ly of Boston and New York, owing to
the fact that these cities are steam
ship terminals. Many Newfoundland
young women have entered the nurS-
ing profession in this country and their
efficiency is said to be such that there
Is an established demand for their
services in that field. Men from the
island, the premier said, are numerous
in the building trades here. They are
especially competent as ringers. owing
to their home training on boats.

land government to the building Of

Forbs was convicted of killing man

ed change.
A further amendment simplifying
the reports Of the tax collector was
also approved. This, II adopted, will

A surprise was created when a
proposed amendment dealing with

Chairman Hall. This had been drawn
up by Corporation Counsel J. H.
Kirkham at the request OF the COM
mittee. but when read it was found
that 1t did not embody the commit
tees ideas.
The charter revision committee
felt at its last meeting that the
power to make these attachments
should be given to body made up
Of representatives of different de-
partments OF the city. but the
amendment presented last night gave
the authority to the board Of public
works. Several members spoke
against this. saying that this board
was already involved i'm enough
trouble. The mayor and board Of
aldermen. it was said, would have
to pass on the public works board S
recommendations in any case. and it
was felt that this group should hear
the evidence in person rather than
act as a reviewer body on the de-
cisions on the public works depart
ment.
1t was therefore decided to give
the mayor and board of aldermen
direct and full authority In the
abatement OF these assessments.

Chilean. Experiment

Santiago, Chile. Jan. % UP)-
All Chile watched with keen interest
today the nations experiment in the
regulation of the sale and con-
sumption Of liquor--a move toward
ton law.
A law has been prepared which
carries direct penalties for drunken
ness and the severest punishments
for men whose duties involve the
lives of others-such as railway en-
gineers, taxi drivers. and the like
and for liquor vendors who allow
drunkenness in their establishments
The sale of liquor to men under
20 years of age is forbidden by the
law.
Study of the law shows its object
10 be direct attack against alco-
holism which does not attempt to
restrict personal drinking where
temperance is observed.
Fines and short workhouse terms
are included in the practice OF the
law against first offenders. Men over
20 years OF age found intoxicated in
any public place will be given / to
3 days work without pay or be
fined approximately $1.25 per day.
An offender caught three times in as
many months will be fined approx
mately $3.50 or spend a month in
the workhouse. Fourth offenders
within a year may be sent to a tenn
pcrancc hospital for such a period
as physicians may decide after an
examination.
Railway engineers and switchmen
and the drivers Of taxis and tram
cars, found drunk while working.
will be given severe sentences even
though they have caused no accident
or damage. Saloon owners who al
low drunkenness in their places or
sell liquor to men under 20 are also
punishable by prison sentences.
Prison sentences are also provided
for saloon owners who allow disorder
inside their establishments.
Part Of the revenue from taxes on
wine. liquors. and alcohol will be in
vested in the development of export
trade and the industrial use of alco-
hcl and winegrowing.
