Reply.

This question is as old as the obser-
walton that the wall that divides the
sublime from the ridiculous is thin
one. The Romans put 1t thus, "A
mountain was in labor, and there
emerged mouse"
When you aim at a big effect and
fail, your miss is as good as mile;
instead Of applauding your success,
people laugh at your failure. 30 far,
so clear; but though that scores some
where on the target, it does not hit the
bull's-eye. Fer the essential point Is
that not everybody laughs, or even
smiles; they may pity; they may be
controlled enough to repreSS expression
of whatever emotion they feel. They
may not feel free to laugh, even II so
inclined.
An incident that I saw on the screen
but yesterday viii do to illustrate.
There's a volunteer concert on board
ship. A gaunt lady of uncertain age
and no vocal powers insists upon per-
forming; she has an ambitious operate
manner insensitive to discords. Some
of the audience in the picture smile,
others hold their ears, others listen in
patience for a time, but soon the chairs
are empty. That vocalist took herself
seriously, and those of the audience
who couldn't do so, laughed when they
shouldn't have done so, laughed at the
wrong place, if you will. Had that
performance been announced as a bur-
lesQue imitation of prina donna the
ships audience might have enjoyed it
as much as the movie audience that
was free to laugh; in fact, the whole
thing was intended to make them
laugh, and thus the audience, Of which
I was one, laughed at the right place.
In BRIEF there is a conflict Of emo
ton, and how that conflict is felt de-
ponds upon the emotional level and
control of the individual. That, too, Is
familiar. If some one falls on an icy
pavement, you are inclined to laugh,
Because the man loses his dignity as
well as his hat, and his sprawling atti-
tude is funny; besides it isn't you who
fell, and so you enjoy another's dis
comfture. You haven't failed; some-
body else has.
But If a child tumbles it isn't funny,
because the child hasn't much dignity
to lose and YOU don't get any kick out

changes in duties on vegetables.
Representative Hersey. republican.
Maine, urged an increase in the duty
on white potatoes from so cents to
81 a hundred pounds. The advan-
tages Of having lower freight rates
and cheaper costs of production In
Canada should be equalized for The
American producer in the north and
west Hersey said.
Removal OF the one-half q cent 4
pound duty on tomatoes was advo-
Gated by Representative Douglas.
democrat. Arizona. He argued there
was no source Of supply for western
markets up to the month Of May ex-
cept Mexico and that no competition
existed between tomato producers on
this side and American and foreign
producers on the Mexican side Of the
border.
Cites Figures
Representative Garner. democrat.
Texas, cited figures to show Florida
had shipped large quantities of to-
matoes and wanted to know If these
should not be afforded protection.
Douglas said an increase in the duty
would place tomatoes in the luxury
class.

Frank Shook. secretary OF the Tri-
State Gamers association. urged an
increase to 60 per cent ad valorem
in the present duty of Is per cent
on canned tomatoes.
Shook said Italian Gamers, with
lower labor costs, had encroached on
the eastern market to the extent OF

tariff were raised appreciably.

ing that the three eastern states had
adequate acreage. plant equipment
and labor to rebuild the treasury,
provided an adequate tariff were
granted.
Labor costs in Italy were placed
by Shook at 43 cents a day of IA
hours compared with % to IS cents
an hour In this country. The ISL
plants idle in 1928. he added, could
have produced 100000 cases.
Chandler Opposed
Disagreeing with Representative
Douglas. Luther Chandler. of Goulds,
Florida, representing the American
Fruit Growers association, contend
cd Florida and Texas could supply
western markets with tomatoes in
the winter months II it were not
for ruinous competition from Next
co where he said labor and land rent
costs were considerably cheaper.
He said the freight rate from Mex.
ico City to Boston was about the
same as from Florida to that city,
and that this competition had affect
cd domestic growers to such an ex-
tent that so per cent of the F'lori-
