Alarm Saves Five
Human Lives

PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 81.
If Anthony Kot's alarm clock
were of the ordinary variety, he
might be dead today.
And so might his wife and
three children.
But Anthony Kot's alarm
clock is unique. And so is the
way the five lives were saved.
Kot is ar employe Of a Mana
yunk paper mill. Sometimes
he works at night and some
times during the day, but when
ever the time comes TO him to
rise, his wife chases one Of the
three guinea pigs they own into
his bedroom, and its Squeals
awake Anthony.
Yesterday ct 4 a. m, Anthony
heard one Of the animals sQueaI
and promptly stumbled out Of
bed. He found the house filled
with smoke from an oil stove
and his wife and children over
come.
1t took him about five min
utes to revive the four Of them.
The alarm clock" had gone
off" just in time. -

Tariff Not a Popular Subject,
for Few Know Much About It
BY CHARLES p. w
Central Press Staff Writer

WASHINGTON, June 27.-The
tariff is not a popular subject,
doubtless because so few people
know much about it. A lot Of talk
concerning something one does not
understand naturally is tiresome.
1t Is no reflection on the 'public's
intelligence to say that the tariff is
a mystery to It. 1t Is a mystery to
everybody but a small group of spe-
cialists.
The very reason why the folk who
run governments always have been
so fond Of the tariff method Of rails
ing cash is that no one exceut en-
expert can see through IL. 1t en-
ables the tax collector to get away
with murder unsupported.

At least that was the way It
started-as n means of supplying
the treasury with more money than
the average man probably would
consider necessary II he realized
that he was putting it up.
Tt works like this:
A foreigner. exporting goods to
America. has to pay a duty TO land
them here. OF course he adds 1t
onto the price OF his wares: so his
American customers pay IL back to
bin in the end. However. the YER
sion fed to the American public
was that. The foreigner paws the
tax" Strange TO relate. It was
a yarn which a large part OF this
country believed for years. My i'm
preston is that 1t is pretty well
punctuated now.
Such was the revenue tariff
originally.
cans began to see how they could
turn it 70 their account in another
way.
Firstly. II was a very nicely cam
ouflaged kind Of tax.
Secondly. it gave a great advan-
tage TO American producers of ev-
erything that American consumers
have TO buy. That is. II enabled the
former to boost prices to the lat
ter-while still slightly underselling
their foreign competitors. because

Thus the revenue tariff became
a protective tariff too.

Ford Suit Makes
State Duties An
Issue In Brazil

RIO JANEIRO. June 29.-Fl-
The recent refusal Of the supreme
court of Brazil to grant an iniunc-
ton TO Henry Ford against duties
on the importation Of rubber seeds
one state TO another. has
" erved to draw attention 70 the
slmultiplicitv of these interstate
tariff walls In Brazil. The consti-
tuition OF the country. like that Of
the United States. prohibits these
+. levies but the provision has been
honored more in the breach than IN
the observance.
In refusing the Ford petition. the
high court explained that the find
ing was based entirely upon the
faulty form in which the request
was offered. Lawyers believe that
II a technically correct petition Is
presented IN the court. the state az
Para's tariff on rubber seeds will be
declared unconstitutional. giving n
basis upon which 70 fight similar

The discussion has brought out
that many cities have followed the

Car Enthusiastically Ac.

Say In kilograms

The new Marquette has met with
the enthusiastic approval of the mo-
toring public from the Atlantic
Seaboard to the Pacific coast. This
Is indicated by the telegraphed re-
ports Of Buick dealers throughout
the country TO the factory at Flint,
Mich, which give evidence that
more than a million persons visited
the Buick show rooms throughout
the country June LIST. TO see the
companion a for the first time.
Buick officials say the presentation
of this new medium priced car has
been the most successful in auto
motive history.
That the Marquette holds more
than the usual measure or pubic
interest displayed in a new a Is
indicated, not only by the size Of
the throngs who have witnessed It's
presentation, but by the surprising
" large number Of motorists who
were willing TO accept It's merits on
the basis OF its being a car built
by Buick.
From Maine to California. from
the Gulf TO the northern reaches
Of Canada, the Marquette has won
almost instantaneous popularity.
Marquette's unusual acceleration
and getaway, its ability TO dart
swiftly in and around heavily con-
gested traffic, have already made
thousands Of friends for 1t in the
large cities of the country. And
its rugged, tremendous hill climb
ing ability and flashing speed have
been recognized in equal measure.
The building of a fast. powerful
six cylinder automobile with a ia
inch wheel base and a Fisher-built
body that incorporates new themes
Of luxury and beauty at a price
ranging from $685. to sl035, Is an
epoch in the ANIMALS Of the auto
motive industry. No other a in
its class has the finely tailored eX-
terror appearance that is found IN
the Marquette.
Interest in the Marquette IS IN
tensified by the fact that II Is a
product OF the Buick Motor company
"a company which for more than a
quarter Of a century has been a
recognized leader in the production
of fine automobiles. The Buick
will continue 70 hold its identity
as the leader in its price field and
the Marquette will be produced in a

long Buick plant at Flint.
AS a result of the popular acclaim
accorded the Marquette and the
large number OF sales orders pro-
duced from its presentation the sue
cess Of the new product IS assured.
