two, when at full tide, so cautious per-
sons apprehend, may be more than the
country can take care of as respects
labor supply and otherwise. In such an
outcome, the corporations can take care
of the situation. They are at once more
flexible in getting under way, and more
flexible in being able to slow down II
slowing down by them should at some
point be called for.
-, Tariff Is Forgotten.
It is noticeable that comparatively
few of the business leaders summoned
to Washington during the past two
weeks have paid much attention to the
tariff. There is a group of business men
who say very earnestly that speedy nm
ishinD of the tariff is most desirable as
contribution by Congress to the sta
bility toward which all business leaders
are earnestly striving. Those who men.
ton the tariff at all say the important
thing is to know definitely what the
tariff will be, so that businesses affected
by the tariff can plan accordingly.
The amount of allusion to the tarld
is. however, far less than it would have
been under analogous circumstances
10 or 20 years ago. The portion OF
business to which the tariff does not
matter has increased greatly. The por-
ton to which the tariff is vital has be-
come relatively small. There are huge
lines of business, such as the automo-
bile manufacturers, who care little or
nothing about the tariff. except as it
affects the general standard Of living.
Also, within lines of business to
which the tariff is in some degree vital,
such as steel, the big units are less
concerned about the tariff than the
small units. To many sections of rela-
lively small businesses, the tariff is
everything. 1t is they who show acute
concern. These are, however, a COM
paratively slight fraction of business
as a whole.
With possibly two exceptions, the
items in the tariff bill that have given
rise to controversy are small, relative
to business as a whole. The tariff on
cement has been conspicuous, but the
cement tariff is imperative to only
those manufacturers within the indus
try whose plants are close to seaboaro.
1t is the same with bricks. Shingles.

MAURITANIA SAILS. :.

Bow Damaged in Collision

&sS tne Associated Press
NEW YORK, November 29.-After a
24-hour delay due to a damaged bow
received in collision with a car float in
New York Harbor, the Cunard liner
Mauritania was en- route for Europe
today.
She carried all passengers booked with
the exception of one woman who took
advantage of the return to port to re-
main with a relative who had become
i'll. Many Of the American passengers
enjoyed a Thanksgiving day dinner
ashore.
The damage sustained by the liner
one hour after she sailed at midnight
Wednesday was repaired upon her re-
turn to her pier yesterday. Several
plates on her port bow were replaced
and the new section was filled with
cement.
Capt S. G. S. Mcneil, commander of
the Mauritania, said he was going down
the harbor on ebb tide when he sighted
a float a quarter mile south of the
Statue of Liberty and sounded one
sharp blast''
The tug captain. he said, did not re-
Epond to my signal, and then / got two
blasts from him indicating that he was
continuing in his course across my path.
1T was too late to do anything about him
except save him as much as / could.

TARIFF FORGOTTEN
by BUSINESS HEADS
Comparatively Few of Those
Summoned by Hoover
Discussed Measure.
BY MARK SULLIVAN.

The aggregate of the new construc-
ton by public utilities whose heads con-
ferred with President Hoover Wednesday
Is enormous. One system whose orig
inal plan was to eXpend SO million dol
lars will now spend nearly 200 million.
The only qualification brought forward
about these undertakings is ability TO
get the labor during the later stages of
the work.
Two different programs are under
way, and in a sense they may conflict.
One is public works by the Federal,
State, municipal and local governments.
The other is new construction by util-
tiles, railroads and industrial corpora
tons.
OF the two, the latter is the more
flexible. Consequently 1t is the new
construction by corporations that will
get under way first. Public building
programs by governments requires bond
issues, authorizations by legislatures,
bids and letting of contracts. Conse-
quently it will be weeks, and in some
cases months. before public works by
governments is fully under way.
At the same time, public works. when
once under way, cannot be curtailed.
Consequently seine cautious persons
foreSee a possible condition about next
March when two programs will be under
way, one by governments and the other
by corporations. The aggregate of the

New Tariff Adopted.

BREMEN. Germany. November 20 up.
Steamship lines belonging to the
Canadian West Bound Freight Confer
ence, as well as the North Atlantic West
Bound Freight Conference, have resolv-
ed to adopt the same freight tariff for
Canadian ports as is in force for Phil
adelphia, Baltimore. Norfolk and Bos-
ton. The new tariff will go into effect
January 1880.

about which there is and will be much
commotion, are manufactured, for the
most part. in one State, Washington,
with smaller interests in two adjoining
states. The tariff on iron in pigs Is
of concern to only two Atlantic Sea-
board States. Manganese is a small
industry in isolated spots.
Textile Industry Interested
There are some large industries In
which the tariff is of concern to the
whole of the industry. An example Is
textiles. Textiles. however. have be-
come only the ninth American indus
try in order Of importance.
The consequence of this condition is
that uncertainty about the tariff, while
everywhere regarded as deplorable, does
not affect the capacity of business as a
whole to go on with program of over
coming the effects of the financial
storm, AS to whether Congress will
heed the wish for speed toward COM
plotting one kind of tariff or another it
Is impossible to tell.
No doubt Senators and members
using this weeks recess to visit their
constituencies will learn the conditions
that make speed desirable. Almost GER
tainly the Senate when 1t resumes next
week will be less affected by the fatigue,
which was concrete factor in the Sem
ate proceedings for several weeks past.
At the same time there are political
aspects Of the tariff which make for de-
lay. The political consequences Of
tariff action become tangible in the
Spring and Summer primaries and in
the elections next November, when 80
Senate seats and all the House seats
will be filled. So far as the tariff is
expected to have a political effect, the
longer it can be prolonged toward the
period of the primaries and elections the
greater the effect should be. There are
some who predict it may be as late as
March before the tariff is finally en-
acted. Others Surmise a date as early
as the middle of January.

Atlantic Coast Plain

Piedmont plain is name used in
the photography Of the United States
to designate that part of the Atlantic
coast plain which lies between the
Appalachian highland and the low
COASTAL plain proper. It is distin-
gushcd from the latter Topographic
cally by being more rugged and eroded
with deeper river valleys and geo
logically by consisting of much older
and harder rock strata. The change
from the hard to the soft and recent
formation Is marked by definite line
Of escarpments over which nearly all
the Atlantic rivers fall In rapids or
calaracIs and The line Is known ms the
"Fnll Line The Piedmont plain is
less defined In New England than In
the southern states. II Is narruwest
and also approaches closest to the sea
IN New York and broadens southward,
heinz about 300 miles wide In North
Carolina.

Desert Conditions Common

Deserts, in the sense of great areas
that are at all times hot, dry and
nearly devoid of life, are comparative
ly rare. But desert conditions, in the
sense of high temperatures and short
age of water arise at times on almost
all land areas. Seasonal deserts, areas
that for part of the year have an
abundant water supply accompanied
by luxuriant vegetable growth, and
through the remainder of the year
have no water supply and can show
only dry. masses of dead leaves and
stems, are common. Illustrations of
such conditions may be found along
any roadside In midsummer. They
are very common in places where there
is but a thin layer of soil over bed
rock.
