GROCERS CAUTIONED
REGARDING new LAW
Urged to Be Careful About Food
Garnishee Bill Signed
by Richie.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
BALTIMORE, April 13.-Grocers will
be very careful about exercising the
new law giving them right to attach
10 per cent of mans salary for nom
payment of debts, according to Harry
H Walker, secretary Of the Independent
Retail Grocers.
The bill was signed by Gov. Richie
after being passed by the Legislature.
It provides that If grocery bill remain
unpaid the grocer can place an attach
ment in the hands of the debtors en-
ployer Ten per cent of the mans
weekly salary would be deducted and
paid to the grocer until the entire bill
Is paid.
The measure applies not only to
groceries but to all foodstuffs.
THE food garnishee bill, as advo-
Gated by the retail grocers, is not a
measure to harass any one who, through
sickness, unemployment or other I'M
fortunate circumstances, may owe over
due food bills" Walker said.
IAN appeal to the law will be made
only as a last resort. When a man
buys Injuries beyond his income, how
ever, and then refuses to pay for the
necessities of life, there is no excuse
for him and the new law will be in
voked."

TARIFF BATTLE IS
 BEGUN IN EARNEST
First Problems Ironed Out, Sen-
 ate to Tackle Bill

Washington, Sept. 13 P}-Pre- liminary skirmishing dones the sen- ate today was we'll embroiled in it's long awaited tariff battle.
 The administrative provisions of the republican bill, replete with controversial issues, such as the tar if commission, flexible provisions, and a changed valuation base for ad valorem duties, were the official subject of debate.
 The measure as drawn up by the finance committee majority was roundly criticized yesterday by Son. ator Simmons, republican, North Carolina, ranking minority member of the committee in a lengthy ad- dress which drew a reply from Chairman Shoot of the finance committee.
 Denounces Measure
 Simmons denounced the bill as inconsistent, and dangerously" ex- banding the power of the presd ent to revise rate schedules. He as serted that it contains many useless increases in rates of agricultural commodities, is filled with eXorbi. tant rates on articles that the farm CT must purchase and does not con- form with President Hoover's re- quest for industrial increases only in the instance of industries that have suffered through imports in recent years
 To an assertion that consumers costs would be increased by billions of dollars through passage of the proposed measure, Senator Shoot took vigorous exception. In addi- tlon, the committee chairman char acterized Simmons objections to the bill as old stuff.
 Hoover View Unknown
 Asked by Senator Tydings, dem- ocrat, Maryland, whether President Hoover favors the bill, Shoot re- piled that he had not asked the chief executive but was of the opin- ion that he would sign it. At the conclusion of Shoots speech, Sena- tor George, democrat, Georgia, de- Iivered an address arguing for modi- tication of the measure.

ART SCHOOL HERE
 OPENS THIS MONTH.
HungerfOrd Home on Cedar
 Street Will Be Occupied

Through the cooperation of Judge William c. Hungerford, New Britain will soon have community art ln- st1tution. The use of Hungerford property on Cedar street has been donated to prominent artists con- nected with the National Art Acad- nmy at New York and the Canadian Royal Academy Wh6 are in hopes of establishing 8 community school oI Fine Art and Commercial Design. According to information received today Judge HIngerford not only gave the use of the property to the artists but will make any alterations to the property which are needed in the establishment of 8 school at the premises.
 In the spring of this year an eight weeks course in art sponsored by the same people was given at the Emerson studio on West Main street. When it was found that the city of New Britain afforded the prospect of development in art, steps were taken to establish a school of art here. The first fruits of the artists endeavors are now coming to light. The opening is set for the week of September 25.
 In November the school will have sale of oil-paintings done by well known artists all over the United States and Canada. The sale will not include any painting priced over $25
 At a later date the students will have a "clothes-line sale" This is custom common to the art studios of Paris. The paintings of the ar tists are hung up on exhibition and those seeking the works will pick out their choice paying what price they wish in a sealed envelope.
 At present the sponsors of the school are able to make public a notice of few lecture to be given in the coming school year. A lcc- ture will be given by Daniel L. Brew ster, head of the department of de sign and interior decorating at the Massachusetts School of Art. An other lecture on the program for the year will be bN Leonard Young, head of the department of grammar at the community house of St. Bartholomew's Episcopal church, Park avenue, New York.
