2-DECK BRAZIL CITY
UNDERGOES REPAIRS
American Capital Is Being Used to
Better Conditions in
Bahia.

While congested cities in the United
States are planning double-decked
streets Brazil is using American capital
to improve her double ecked' city,
Bahia de Sac Salvador de todos os
Santos (Bay of the Holy Savior Of All
Saints, better known as Bahia, or Sac
Salvador, which has existed since 1910.
It is a city of $4,000, and until 1853
was the capital of the country. 1t Is
the first important port north OF Rio
de Janeiro. Those whose business
takes them between the first and sec
ond stories of the city must make use
of an elevator or road like long,
winding ramp.
Most of the business and residence
sections are on the second story, while
the docks are below. New elevators
are being built by the Brazilian Elec-
trio Power Co, an adjunct of the
Electric Bond and Share Co. of New
York, which has the light, power, tele-
phone. trolley and elevator concession
in Bahia.
The bizarre reinforced concrete
structure, with its tower, will be 240
feet high. Two shafts of 200 feet each
with an elevator with a capacity of ~
persons, operated by electricity and
making the trip in 80 seconds. If
they step lively 1000 riders can be
handled in an hour. The elevator
equipment is made in Chicago.

New glass beads being introduced in
Paris are declared to be nothing more
or less than marbles. They are inter-
spersed with tiny paste rondels, and
are threaded with silver cords of double
thickness. With them have appeared
leather bracelets exactly like the straps
to hold wrist watches, except that they
have diamond buckles and >eyelet holes
They match similar leather belts.

Craze in Country for Gambling

BUDAPEST (P.-A Hungarian Re-
form League has been organized to
combat, among other things, the craze
for "rummy" which has swept this
capital and is spreading to other sec
lions of the monarchy. The league will
seek to restore the old Magyar tradition
of chivalry and love for the family and

Every member takes an oath not to
play cards, smoke, drink or indulge in
practices which degrade the noble rep

help our own sugar interests beet
and cane. Wool growers could still
get higher prices il there were no
foreign competition to keep prices
within reason. And producers OF
such items as fruits, nuts and olives,
SO many kinds of which are grown in
Mr. Hoovcr's own native state Of Cali
fornia, could be helped Immediately.
But that wouldn't be anything for the
grain belt to cheer about. That sec
ton wants effective protection for
what 1t sells rather than what 1t buys.
Meanwhile some embarrassment
has been occasioned to long suffering
congressman whose backbone in
terests seek protection for themselves
and want to deny II to others. Shoe
manufacturers. for instance. want
prohipitivc tariffs on shoes and none
OH hides. Cattle raisers and tanner-
| les. of course. are demanding a duty
on hides. The congressman who has
both shoe factories and tanneries in
his district, as some have. is in bad
way.
The wool growers and the manufac-
turers OF woolcns solved such a prob
lem long ago by banding together for
plenty of protection all around. allow
ing tho consumers to pay the bill. 1t
has been charged before the Ways
and Means committee that between
them they have managed TO drive up
some rates as high as 387 per cent.
Some New England manufacturers
are vigorously protesting the proposed
rev duties OH Egyptian cotton, which
they claim they must have. Southern
congressman are seeking prohib-
tive duty on Egyptian cotton, but are
more than willing to vote OH COM
pensatory" tariff on finished cotton
goods with the idea of helping both
cotton growers and manufacturers.
It's tough, of course. on any manufac-
turer to whom the long staple Egyp-
tan cotton is essential.
Candy manufacturers want prOi1ib-
tory duties on candy, claiming in
creased imports from Germany.
France and England since the war.
But they are putting up a howl at the
proposed increase on sugar duties.
The public. as usual. will pay any i'm
creased costs or additional profits
which are made possible.
The jeWelry industry presents
unique case. Most of it Is devoted
to making medium and cheaper grade
products. Imitation stones are made
largely in Czechoslovakia; we don't
make them here, for some reason The
jewelry manufacturers thus pay 20
to so per cent duty on these stones
when they import them.
Sad to relate, Czechoslovakia has
lately turned to making jewelry as
well as stones ard has become our
principal competitor. Thus the jew
elry men are opposed to any increased
duty on the stones, but they do ask
for increased protection OH the fin
ished products in which the stones
are used.

washington. March 1.-The only
noteworthy opposition to the anticl-
pated general tariff raid. except that
from foreign sources. appears to have
come from President elect Hoover
himself, In private conversation.
Tariff fights in the past have
aroused the country. But this time
there isn't any fight. There are two
reasons generally given for the lack
of opposition. One is that the coun-
try is pretty we'll sold, rightly or
wrongly on the protective tariff. The
other is that there Is now hardly a
member of congress, so wide has been
the expansion of our industrializa
ton. who hasn't some industry In his
district that yells for protection.
Concerning the first factor. 1t may
he said in passing that judging from
the squeals heard before the House
Ways and Means Committee most
American manufacturers are on the
verge of bankruptcy which can only
be averted by higher duties. which
might seem to indicate some doubt
about prosperity.
\ 4 \
The other is a matter of stern real
ity for any congressman. 1t doesn't do
for him to ignore the wishes OF bust
ness men In his district, especially
those of powerful manufacturers or
other producers. And If he seeks pro-
lection for his own home folks he
must support similar pleas from other
members, for tariff bills are always
a beautiful and touching example OF
mutual aid.
Just what sort OF tariff rejigger-
ing Mr.. Hoover really wants will soon
he apparent. The more intriguing
problem concerns what sort OF tariff
rejiggering he will have to accept and
the question whether or not Mr..
Hoover will actually stand UP and
make q fight against the raid.
At last reports Mr.. Hoover favored
increases merely on about IS per cent
Of the duty list embracing only those
things which would help the farmer.
It doubtless will be pointed out early
in the special session, as no one has
bothered to mention lately. that in
creased tariff rates would hardly help
raisers Of the six major crops in this
country because there is in each one
an annual exportable surplus.
These crops are wheat. corn, hogs,
cotton. tobacco and rice and no way
has yet been approved which would
give their producers the benefit of
the imperative protection which they
now enjoy. Meanwhile everyone else
who would profit by more protection
is horning in on what was originally
supposed to be the grain belts own
show.
= \ =
OF course, there are many other
crops which would benefit by higher
duties. Increases on Cuban sugar and
restrictions on Filipino sugar would
