as to the value Of newspaper adver-
Using in connection with the building
Of their great business. Mr.. Foshay
said:
I'VE appreciate the great things
that the newspapers of our country
have done for us, and I think without
a doubt you get more for your money
through the purchase of advertising
space in newspapers than you do for
any other money you spend.
There has been q lot of discussion
as to the best means of advertising.
To say that any one medium is best
advertising medium is an impossibiliry
because of the diversity of things to be
Advertised, necessitating a diversity of
mediums. From the viewpoint. how
ever, of anyone who wants to get to
the biggest number of people with
something everyone can use, there Is
no question in our minds that the
newspaper is the best medium.
"Our expenditures for advertise
ments have increased each year, with
the exception of 1929, in which year
we spent less than In 1897. But we
didn't curtail our newspaper advertise
ing IN 1898. We eurtailed other
things and increased our newspaper

Commissions work has been especially
marked in the last three years."
Prior to 1922, Mr.. Love pointed out,
the Tariff Commission was merely a
fact finding body which reported its
findings to Congress. But since the
passage of the 1922 tariff bill, it has
been vested with the power to investi-
gate the cost of producing commodi-
ties in foreign countries as compared
with similar costs in the United States
and then to report its findings to the
President The President after analy-
sis of the commissions findings, may
by proclamation either raise or lower
the tariff rate so per cent according
to how the duty rate effects American
industry And this feature would not
be materially changed If the recon-
mendation of the Senate Finance
Committee is written into the law,
even to the retention of the by-parti-
san feature of the commission.

FARMERS AND TARIFF ISSUE.

Farming interests of the United
States, far from being opposed to the
flexible provisions of the tariff law as
Senator Borah contends, are actually
strongly in favor Of retention of the
measure, Stephen H. Love, president
of the U. S. Beet Sugar Association,
declared in a statement issued.
THE fight on the flexible provisions
of the tariff is not being encouraged
or sponsored by the nations farmers,
nor is it a battle between the agricul-
tural West and the industrial East"
declared Mr.. Love. Agriculture can
obtain just as much protection and
benefit from the flexible tariff as can
industry. American agriculture is
seeking parity with industry The
flexible tariff provisions offer such an
opportunity. The American Farm
Bureau Federation representing more
than 100000 farmers has officially en-
dorsed the flexible provisions of the
tariff as offering an effective means
of improving the economic condition
of the nations agriculturists.
IF actual results of the flexible
tariff in it's seven years of existence
are considered, the farm population
should favor it. Agriculture has had
at least an even break with industry
in upward tariff revisions under the
flexible arrangement and an actual
check-up would undoubtedly show that
more revisions favoring agriculture
have been made by the Tariff Commits
sion than have been according to in
dustry.
There are complaints that the Tariff
Commission Is not functioning pro-
perly and that the delay in its de-
cfsions constitutes serious defect
But other government bodies are con-
stantly being attacked In this fashion.
As a matter of fact, the Tariff Com
mission has functioned as well, If not
better, in its first seven years Of ex-
istence than did the Interstate Com
merce Commission when it was first
organized and no one thinks Of doing
away with the Interstate Commerce
Commission, or curtailing its ac-
tiyities. Effectiveness Of the Tariff

A JOY KILLER.

Just as we are beginning to get
interested in the game Of golf, just
when we see some possibilities of get
ting into the class where we can wear
Knockers and graduate from the
"dubs', friend has sent us the fol-
lowing satirical editorial
Unhappy hundreds, yes thousands,
can never hope to know the glorious
game of golf by actually playing it.
While this is very unfortunate the
sufferers may still have the cultural
advantage of knowing something
about golf and not have to suffer
humiliation by going through life ig-
norant on this vital subject.
You can gain a conversational
knowledge of the game by reading
what a writer in one of our trade
magazines says in answer to the ear
nest query, "What is golf?" He says:
Golf is a form of work made ex-
pensive enough for man to enjoy
it. 1t is physical and mental exer-
ton made attractive by the fact that
you have to dress for it in s200,86o
club house.
Golf is what letter carrying, ditch
digging and carpet beating would be
if those three tasks had to be per-
formed on the same hot afternoon in
short pants and colored socks by gen.
tlemen who required q different i'm
piement for every mood. ... IT,.
Golf is the simplest looking game
in the world when you decide to take
it up, and the toughest looking after
you have been at it ten or twelve
years.
cit is probably the only known
game a man can play as. long as a
quarter of century and then discov-
er that it was too deep for him in the
first place.
1.-The game is played on carefully
selected grass with little white balls
and as many clubs as the player can
afford. These little balls cost from
75c to $25, and it is possible to sup
port a family of ten people Gall adj
ults1 for five months on the money
represented by the balls lost by some
golfers in a single afternoon.
"a golf course has eighteen holes,
seventeen of which are Unnecessary
and put in to make the game harder.
A hole is a tin cup in the center Of
the green A green is a small
parcel of grass costing about $1.98 a
blade and usually located between a
brook and a couple of apple trees, or
a lot of unfinished excavation.
"The ball must not be thrown,
pushed or carried. It must be pro-
PEELED by about $500 worth of curious
looking implements especially design
ed to provoke the owner.
Each implement has a specific
purpose and ultimately some golfers
get to know what that purpose is.
They are the exceptions.
After each hole has been completed
the golfer counts his strokes. Then
he subtracts six and says, made that
in five. That's one above par."-Be-

portion of the additional expenditure

the Standard Oil Company I'm
diana) who last March succeeded
Col. r. W. Stewart as its chief ex-
ecutive, has just announced. new
vacation plan for that company
which Is attracting wide attentiOB.
Whereas In most companies vaea-
lions are given only to salaried
workers, Mr.. Seubert's administra-
ton has given them also to hourly
paid workers on q basis OF one
week vacation after five years OF
employment and two weeks after
ten years. The new plan affects
5000 employees scattered over ten
states Of the Middle West. With
5000 salaried workers already re-
ceiving vacations, the company will
now have II, 900 on its vacation list.
The company's hourly paid workers
had been asking for vacations for
more than ten years but their plea
had been repeatedly denied by the
previous administration on the
grounds of impracticability. "Far
from being impractieable," declared
Mr.. Schubert in announcing the new
plan, 1--WE expect to get an appre-
ciable return from it through In

Feng's Threat Is Held
Serious for Marking

From the Charleston, s. c., Evening Post.
Gen. Feng Yu-Hsiang, the so-called
Christian general" has taken the field
again against the Chinese National
government at Marking, and q new and
formidable disturbance Is In prospect.
1t was reported few months ago that
Feng had been brought completely un-
der control and that he would leave
China to study in Europe. Now that
he Is again in the field, having changed
sides again, as he has done innumerable
times, there Is bound to be a serious
situation for the National government.
1t Is a pity that President Chang did
not deal with him in the classic Chinese
way when he had him in hand. He is
the most INSCRIPTIONS and the most
resourceful, perhaps, of the Chinese war
lords.
The National government has been
set up after tremendous striving, and
1t Is undoubtedly the most promising
government China has had in modern
times. 1t has made q good many mis-
takes, but 1t Is moving steadily toward
the light. Gen. Chang has shown him
self to be patriot, brilliant military
leader and an able statesman. He has
been beset by rebellions and harassed
by foreign problems since he took the
re1nS of government and once more the
authority of his government is seriously
menaced. Friends of China and be-
levers in the ability of the Chinese to
work out their political destiny in q
modern pattern win hope that he may
soon put down this new challenge and
that II he ever gets Gen. Feng in his
grip again he will not let him get loose.

Sees United States
OF World in Future

To the Editor OF The Star:
This United States Of Europe that IS
talked Of by the French government is
q good sign for the future. It Is not
unreasonable to think that 1t Is only a
matter Of time-say. In less than few
hundred years-when there win be a
United States of the World. How can
it be otherwise?
The fear Of wiping out whole popu-
lations by the latest inventive methods
of slaughter is already playing It's part
in the teaching that friendship and
brotherhood is preferable to the follow
ing Of savage instincts that has worked
us to a frenzy.
Statesmen talk of brotherhood in
their best moments; and, it Is an ideal
with most Of us-though very poorly
practiced in our relationships.
II the world Is progreSsing-as we all
know 1t to bet is bound to culmi-
nate in the United States Of the World
with each state making their laws.
The central government win undoubt.'
edly be an assembly of the wisest
statesmen-forming committee for
that purpose.
We are now seeking q parley with
the strongest governments to eliminate
war and friction. This is q great step
In that direction. MICHAEL BLISS.

conveyed the impression that he was

A Momentous Experiment.

The first step in an experiment
which may make travel easily possible
from the United States to Europe in
nifty hours or less by air was undertaken
recently on the Choptank River near
Cambridge, Maryland, when Edward r.
Armstrong anxiously supervised the
launching of a miniature model Of his
seadrome, eight Of which he expects ul-
timately to anchor at four-hundred-
mile intervals across the Atlantic Ocean
to serve as landing fields for airplanes.
The miniature is thirty-five feet long
and weighs approximately a ton. The
contemplated seadrome viii be more
than eleven hundred feet long, with lift
ing devices to raise planes from the
water to its deck ninety feet above the
waves, q hotel and service facilities for
planes.
The model exceeded expectations on
its initial tryout. The deck, or "held'
supported on skeleton-like framework
showed no tipping or rocking when SUBJ
jected to waves created by fast boats
with plows attached to their bows. II

big seadromes, even when anchored ir
mid-Atlantics win be unacceptable x

burg News Democratic) voices the
criticism: ut is true that the national
leaders of the dry cause are on record
against Mr.. Mellon, having declared he
should not head a department which
includes prohibition enforcement among
its activities. Hoover must, therefore,
either ignore the Anti-Saloon Leagues
public demand that some one other
than Mellon be placed over prohibition
enforcement or transfer that activity
from the Treasury Department to the
Department of Justice. But there again
the President will run counter to the
Anti-Saloon League, for that organiza-
ton has put itself upon record as
against transfer Of prohibition en-
forcement to another department. The
President, however, seems to sit in the
saddle and have q firm grip on the
reins''

lieves will make his scheme entirely
practical. Exact tests are to be con-
Quoted with the model, both In the river

II Mr.. Armstrong; dream is fulfilled,
the present generation may see two-day
express airplane service to Europe. A
chain of seadromes, four hundred miles
apart, will serve as stepping stones
across the Atlantic. Radio stations on
each "island" can maintain constant
communication with planes In the air,
so that, regardless of weather condi-
tons, no pilot will lose his bearings
and at no time be more than two hun
dred miles from succor should disaster
befall.
Even with the chain of seadromes in
operation, however, transoceanic flying

cially profitable unless amphibian
planes are used. While motors and
plane structures are being rapidly per-
fected so that eventually planes may
become as trouble-proof as present-day
automobiles, there is no warrant for as
Stunning that even in hundred
mile fight, engine stoppage or struc-
tural failure may not occur. Land
planes are not in any way adapted to
alighting on the water. In fact, it is
only with rare good fortune that occu-
pants of land plane escape with their
lives If forced to come down on the sur
face Of the water.
SeaplaneS could of course be used eff
fectively, but would be unable to land
on the drome. Consequently, it would
appear that amphibian ships capable of
normal wheel landings on the Fields"
and likewise capable Of emergency land
ings on the surface of the sea would be
the most practical and would give the
public greater confidence in the safety
Of the revolutionary method Of trans
oceanic travel. There will be no lack Of
