Refuse to See Light
In Tariff Drafting

From the Chicago Daily News
In dealing with the administrative
features of the Hawley tariff bill the
Republican majority of the Senate
finance committee has proposed some
desirable improvements. On the other
hand, it has rejected genuinely pro-
gressive idea for the improvement of
the Tariff Commission which both Re-
publican and Democratic leaders have
The Hawley bill provided for recon-
struction of the Tariff Commission in
q way to eliminate even unconscious
partisanship or bipartisanship from Its
Inquiries and recommendations. A
commission of seven members-there
are six members under the present law
was to be appointed, ability, relevant
knowledge and efficiency being the sole
qualifications for membership. For ex-
perience has demonstrated that the BIZ
partisan character Of the present Tar
if Commission affords no guaranty OF
scientific and Independent thinking or
action. Yet the Senate committee has
refused to see the light.
The commission as it is now con-
stituted has proved disappointment,
for under its operations the flexible
tariff has been about as elastic as a
brick wall. If tariff making Is to be
divorced from partisanship, doctrinaire
opinion and personal leaning, the COM
mission must be strictly fion.political
and non.partisan. It must be COM
posed of scientific and practical stu
dents Of the tariff and of the numerous
problems with which the tarin y IN

Azores ssCOat" Island
For Atlantic FLYERS
From the Sioux City Tribune.

From the Sioux City Tribune
They amt done right" by the Azores.
Or, maybe, it's the other way.
AT any rate, the Azores have become
the "dud" spot in transatlantic flights.
1t seems that whenever the Azores are
mentioned in connection with an ocean
hop, the flyers have come down, intend
to come down, crashed or turned back.
In other words, the Azores In aviation
too many, times stand for failure and
blah. Whenever flyers announce they
are going by way of the Azores, the
"kick" is taken out of the flight.
The airminded public wants its trans
ocean flights risky and full of uncer-
tainty 1t doesn't want any stepping
stones. What If somebody does jump
to the Azores and then to New York?
The Azores took the edge off the THRILL.
Ten years ago comparatively few per-
sons knew anything about the Azores.
All the newspaper readers know about
those islands now. Yes, but what an
opinion! A place for timid aviators to
hesitate and change their minds about
hopping the Atlantic.
Really the Azore authorities should
do something about it. Their land Is
being maligned by Hopping" flyers.
So, If some mothers daughter wants
to fly the Atlantic, here's what mother
ought to tell her:
Load your plane with gasoline.
But don't go near the Azores"

Clothes Made Dirtier
Bv Too Much Washing
BY E. E. FREE. Phi. D.

The proper length of time to wash
clothes with soap and water Is 7l2
minutes. If a too-industrious washer
woman keeps on washing for longer
time than that. using the same soapy
water, the clothes get dirtier instead
of cleaner. So find DR.. F. H. Rhodes
and S. w. Brainard of the depart
ment of chemistry of Cornell Uni
versity, who have reduced clothes wash
ing to scientific precision and who re-
port their results to the American
Chemical Society.
To determine just how clean piece
of standard dirty cloth becomes by so
many hours or minutes OF washlng tne
Cornell chemists have devised an optl-
cal instrument which measures the
whiteness or grayness of the cloth
more accurately than can be done by
the eye. Using standard cloth ana
standard conditions OF soap, water,
washing and so on, they f1nd that dirt
continues to be removed minute by
minute up to the 712-minute limit.
After that the grayness OF the cloth
begins to increase instead of decrease.
If clear water is used instead OF
soapy water this curious reversal OF the
cleansing effect does not occur.
The removal of the dirt, while slower
and not always so complete, proceeds
regularly however long the rinsing with
pure water is continued. The effect OF
soap in making the cleansed cloth ac-
tually dirtier after the 7l2 minutes Is
probably due, DR.. Rhodes and Mr..
Brainard believe, to the action of the
soapy water in slowly breaking up the
particles of dirt into much smaller
particles, like sand ground to dust IN a
mortar Thus the more a3ely divided
dirt comes to be spread more widely
over the previously cleansed cloth.

Sun Parlors i'm Rear

From the st Paul Pioneer Press.
The front porch is going out of style.
A report by the Department Of Com

down from that happy era of American
life when the family gathered on the

dences, which in extreme form were

All this is to go, the architects say.
Even the rocking chairs are disappear

The family councils are on wheels and

when the pressure of the first rush of
air preceding the explosion reaches
them. A barrier of dust is thus auto
matically thrown in the path of the
onrushing flames If they should pass
beyond the scene Of the explosion.
The principle of rock-dusting is pure
ly physical. The stone, being non-in-
flammable and also a ready conductor
Of heat, absorbs from the burning gases
at the scene of the explosion much Of
their heat and by this means reduces
the temperature below the ignition point
of the coal dust. It has the effect Of
throwing water on the blaze and ex-
tinguishes it almost as effectively.
The rock-dusting practice has not be-.

British Craftsmanship
At Its Best in Egvpt

From the Chicago Daily Tribune,
The British proposals to Egypt reveal
British diplomacy and imperial states
manship at their best, and that Is the
best IN the world. Americans must
read them with admiration mingled
with envy, for when will the United
States IN Its important and often deli
cate. relations have the benefit of SO
mucn tact, skill and sane judgmen: as
Mr.: Henderson's proposals display?
AS Mr.. Steele points out, the status
nation as much of the rights and privi-
leges OF independence as is compatible
with vital British interests, and, we
would add, as much as is compatible
with the interests of the civilized world,
or even the interests of the Egyptian
people themselves.
1t is the duty Of the British govern
ment, not only to Britain's own great
concerns, but to the general interest of
the civilized world in peace and in Tree
communication, that the Suez Canal
shail be protected at all times. and
that region like Egypt on the flank
of the worlds thoroughfare shall not be
a prey to anarchy or a victim of inter-
national rivalry Egypt's international
status should be as stable as world con-
ditions permit. and England is It's nat
ural guardian. With this major issue
assumed. as 1t must be by all save
doctrinaires and impractical senti-
mentalists.. the proposals are obviously
both sound and considerable Of reason
able Egyptian susceptibilities. The de-
tense OF the canal is provided for and
assured by British occupation Of the
adjoining district and Of strategic posi-
tons to be agreed upon. Egypt Is to
avail herself Of British military training
and to employ British officials, If any
foreigners at all. There Is offered an
alliance for mutual defense, with exc
change OF ambassadors. and a pledge
that neither country will follow policies
creative of difficulties for the other.
Military occupation except as provided
above, will be terminated.
The proposed status is consistent
with Egyptian self-respect and Is, in
fact, the best she could hope for In the
situation she inevitably holds in the
world, while Great Britain retains such
measure OF control as her OWL rights,
and also international conditions en-
phatically justify.
The diplomacy Of the United States
has much to learn from this settle
ment. We, too, have problems of deal
ing with weaker or backward peoples,
involving factors of premature rational
aspiration. political incompetence. eco
nomic and social instability and back
wardness. Our own diplomacy, invari-
ably we'll intentioned as 1t has been
has often been inconsistent, tardy Of
resolute action, without grasp of essen
tial American interests and lacking IN
tact. We have sometimes been able to
accomplish important benefits, but with
little credit and at unnecessary cost
British imperial statesmanship makes
its mistakes, but is easily the most judi
cious and efficient in the world today,
and we should study 1t.

Sinclair;s sentence itself is described
by the Chattanooga Times as a slap on

and this is good time to estaollsh

In defense of the oil mans plea. how

Rock. busting Saves Lives.

When an explosion occurred with
three hundred men working five hum
bred feet down in mine at Renton,
Pa, the stage was all set for another
heartrending story Of disaster. But
Saturday the three hundred men came
walking out to safety with only twelve
Of their number injured and these suf-
fering merely from burns.
The explanation lies in the fact that
the operators Of the mine were pro-
gressive and, needing the advice OF ex-
perts of the Bureau Of Mines, had rock
busted theix workings
1t has been proved beyond doubt that
most of the major mine disasters come
from the explosion Of the coal dust
which usually lines the sidewalks ana
ceilings OF the mines. The original blast
is generally local in nature and would,
under normal conditions, be limited TO
the immediate vicinity in which 1t &C.
Cured. Where coal dust has accun1'i-
lated, however, great progressive ex-
plosion races its devastating way
through the various galleries OF the
mine, killing and manning as 1t passes
and leaving the dread afterdamp IN It's
wake ready to snuff out the lives OF
those who escaped the explosion itself.
Rock busting, a simple process. elm
mates this danger. The walls and CELL
jugs of the mines are sprayed with q
Ane non combustible stone dust and, at
frequent intervals, hinged shelves loaded
with the dust are placed along the gal
leries near the ceiling. The shelves have
q tripping device which releases them
