SENATE To HEAR
50 ON TARIFF

Facing the job of hearing more
than three score witnesses the Sen
ate Finance Committee today was
whiting merrily away on the adj
ministrative features of the new
tariff bill in race against time.
In order to give the committee
adequate time to draw the bill
proper when all considerations have
been placed before it by the various
organizations asking changes in
the present tariff law, administra-
tive hearings must begin next week.
Yesterday but half dozen wit
nesses were heard.
Speed Hearings
However, Senator Smoot R) Of
Utah, chairman of the committee,
declared he intended speeding up
the hearings, and hoped to be able
to clear the states for writing Of
the bill. beginning next Monday.
The sugar tariff today had taken
its place again as the dominant
issue. REPRESENTATIVES of Philip
pine and other insular possessions
were before the committee pleading
for retention of favorable tariff
rates, while American agricultural
organizations pleaded for imposition
of tariff on imports from insular
possessions.
FilipinOs Here
The Philippine delegation here
for the hearings consisted of Man
uel Roxasi speaker of the Filipino
House of representatives; Senator
Sergis Qsmena, Rafael r. Aluman,
secretary of agriculture and ma
tural resources, and two Philippine
congressman, Pedro Guevara and
Camilo Osias.
In opposition to the proposals of
Chester H. Gray, of the American
Farm Bureau Federation, and
Charles w. Holman, of the Ma
tional Milk Producers Association,
for tariff on sugar, tobacco and
oils for the islands, they asserted
that imposition OF such a tariff
would ruin them.

halfway mark and denoting the
successful completion Of at least
half of the course of self denial
which has brought svelte figures
to the female and male stars Of
Hollywood and the stage.
Not only is the end in sight. but
the Diet Editor is willing to let
his followers in on a secret re-
vealed by reading the advance
menus The secret is that Alfred
w. Mccain. internationally famous
diet expert, who revised the original
Hollywood diet for The Times, has
been far more liberal in the last
half than he was in the first.
Meals Increased
Although continuing the diet on
the same sound scientific lines laid
down at the start, Mccain has gen.
orally increased the size of the
meals--that is. all except the break.

the "one-half grapefruit and cof-
fee" standard.
In order to comply with numerous
requests received since the diet
menus started last week, The Times
yesterds reprinted all of the menus
up to the eighth day. This gave
everyone who might have missed
day.. or who might have been late
in starting the diet, an opportunity
to catch up and go along in the
regular routine.
Boon to Busy
Several communications to the
diet editor have indicated that many
persons in the city are clipping the
diet menus as they appear daily in
The Times with the idea of start.

have it all before them.
In the meantime several addi-
tional downtown restaurants have
announced their intention of add

a particular boon to the scores Of

are following the diet but who have
been encountering difficulty in hav-
