RULING
!. REVERSED

The District Court Of Appeals
has held that the Alien Property
Custodian was within his rights in
Withholding as administrative ex-
penses" part of the funds Of a
suspected alien, even though it was
later discovered that the original
funds were illegally seized.
This ruling was published in the
case of Henry Fischer, Gottfried
Baumann Keenast and Edmund
Cams, citizens of Zurich. Switzer-
land, from whom the custodian
seized $2,565, 900 worth of property
under the trading with the enemy
act. The property was seized as
belonging to the Schmidtesche
Keisedampf Geselleschaft.
When it was found that the
suspected aliens were not enemies
at all and the property was err.
roneously seized. the Alien Property
Custodian withheld $55, 909.S3 for
administrative expenses. The bene-
ficiaries objected to the deduction
and the District Supreme Court
ordered repayment to be made.
The appellate court today reversed
the action of the District Supreme
Court and sustained the custodian
in withholding the funds.

stuff stored elsewhere.
Sanitary conditions in the court
house were termed "deplorable." and

Eight Nations Enter
Protest Against High
Rates in New Tariff

The high tide of foreign protest
against the new tariff wall, which is
being erected through the Hawley
bill, has reached a stage where
formal notes have been received
from eight nations and informal rep
reservations from five others.
None of these, it developed at the
State Department, has today been
answered.
The eight specific notes of protest
over rates came from Cuba, Spain,
Italy. Persia, Turkey, Australia and
Egypt, while France has thus far
contented herself with a protest
against the American system of ar
irving at production costs.
A note is understood to be in
preparation by the State Depart
ment experts replying to the
French complaint against evalua-
ton of her commodities for GUS
toms purposes. Several notes have
been exchanged on the subject but
the American Government has not
shown a tendency to accept the
DUAL d'Orsay point Of view.
Cuba's protest is agains the in
creased sugar tariff, Persia and
Turkey would like to see the rug
schedules pared down, while Italy
is interested in hats and artificial
silks. Australias' complaint is
more or less general. She called
to the attention of this government
the effect on her trade balance if
the tariff were increased on hides,
wool and other commodities listed
as necessaries.
Egypt has an interest in cotton,

Etates repeal the law which re-

FARM BILL
To Be PUT
ON BOOK

A program for passing the
new tariff bill through the
Senate by November and of
finally enacting it into law by
November 90 was proposed to-
day by Administration leaders
as the next step in giving
Congress an all-summer vaca-
ton.
If this program is accepted by IN
surgents and Democrats-which is
entirely likely-Congress will go
home from about June IL to Sep
tember 8, while the Senate Finance
Committee worries with the tariff
The new farm relief bill, however,
must be placed on the statute books
before the curtain rings down on
the first half of the special session,
which President Hoover called to
solve the farm and tariff problems.
Hearings Ordered
If the tariff program Is rejected,
Congress will recess during a part
of the summer but the Senate will
be brought back about August 10
in order to insure final vote on
the tariff before the special session
ends next November. The House
probably will be given a vacation,
in that event, until September 10.
Public hearings on the tariff,
which the Senate Finance Commit
tee already has ordered, will begin
June IL and continue until July 10.
The committee will divide into
several subcommittee, which will
conduct hearings simultaneously.
When the hearings are closed, there
will be several weeks of secret dis
cussion by the full committee, after
which the Republicans will draft
their bill and the Democrats will
unite to propose various minority
amendments.
Will Hear Consumer e.
The ordinary consumer, who pays
the cost of all tariff increases but
who gets additional protection for
his American scale of wages, will
have an opportunity to be heard on
the tariff this year.
Senator Simmons CD of North
Carolina minority finance leader,
has given him a special invitation
to appear before the committee and
give his views about tariff increase
and reductions.
The housewife, If she does appear
in response to this invitation, may
tell the committee something about
the tariff on sugar. The House
fixed new rate of 3 cents pound
generally and $40 cents a pound on
Cuban sugar. This rate was fixed
in the face of an announcement
that the Tariff Commission in 1924
reported that the tariff on Cuban
sugar should be only 1923 cents
pound. The higher rate will be
fought in the Senate and there is
a bare possibility it will be reduced.
By End of Week
The Senate and House conferees
on the farm bill meanwhile reported
further progress in their efforts to
draft compromise bill from the
measures passed by the two
branches. The point under immed
late discussion today was whether
the proposed Sterilization corpora
tions should be allowed to market
crops or merely to store products
for the farmer.
Some objection has been raised
against the Senate provision, allow
ing the corpora tons to sell pro-
ducts, on the ground they would
then tend to drive co-operatives out
of business.
Administration leaders were hope
full of getting the farm bill on the
statute books by the end of this

Principle of Lever
Old as Human Race

According to the tlme-honOred yarn,
which used to be and maybe yet n
found In our school readers. the In
ventor Of the lever was our old friend
ArchImedes. This Is the same chip
who is also reputed to have jumped
out of his bathtub, "as u.s." and run
down the main street OF Athens or
wherever II was, yelling Eureka !"
until stopped by the police. because
he had just worked out the correct
dope about specific gravity. The
bathtub yarn may stick around for u
while. but In the interest OF truth we
are compelled to throw the lever story
Into the garbage can. for nobody In
vented the lever.
The reason why nobody invented
levers Is that they we're here, there
and everywhere long before amy Of rs
had brains enough to invent anything
whatever. We used levers, and do II
now, before acquiring any knowledge
Of them
Literally all Of US are full Of levers
so also are all the animals big enough
to be seen-ce certainly all the animals
we ordinarily know about Fnch Of
us has handful OF levers nj the end
Of each arm, Itself most efficient
arrangement OF levers. and the same
applies TO each foot and leg. Besides
these we have various and sundry
other levers, too numerous for men
ton here, at all sorts OF unexpected
places In our frames. A pair Of IN
dlspensable levers are those Of ouI
lower jaw. and very efficient levers
at that.
Our bodily levers, however nre all
Of the first and third classes and we
lack good examples Of those Of The
second class. This doesn't help Archl
medes any, for the very arst prehls
torlc man who turned turtle over
on It's back with stick or prled y
fiat rock out Of the dirt had II all

Comets Chiefly Made
Up of Gaseous Matter

While we have no reliable data as
to the precise mass Of comets we are
pretty sure that the biggest and show
lest of the lot are no greater than
about 10 per cent Of the earth's at
mosphere. II they came bigger than
this they would produce effects on
the planetary paths.
Whether they should be regarded
as mainly gaseous matter or finely
divided solid matter is not Just here
material, but we may, II we like. I'm
agine them as being equivalent to the
10 per cent OF our air, water vapOr
and so forth. and see just what must
happen to II when II gets fairly ex-
tended as a comet.
The head OF the comet would not
take up so much of the atmosphere
OF which we will imagine II Is made,
for dlameters exceeding 10000 miles
are unusual, but when II comes to the
tail there has to be some stretching.
Our atmosphere we may take as
fifty or seventy-hve or hundred
miles deep. but the upper layers are
so thin that we might as well take
the 5O-mile limit and let II 20 at that.
But to make q comets tail with only
a tenth OF this air, the extension
staggers the Imagination. Tails are
common with lengths Of 50000,000
miles and comets have been known
with tails longer than from here to
the sun, over 100,O00000 miles, with
diameter AT the big end Of easily
100000 miles.
To get at the extreme attenuation
figures of speech are better than
those Of arithmetic. There was an
Arabian tale Of man who never
went broke because each day he spent
only an exact half Of whatever money
he had left. n this chap had started
with ten cents and kept up his sys
TEN for a thousand years he would
have been richer In money than a
comets tail is In matter, and II is
probable that TO get a close compai-
son we will have to imagine a single
oyster In a stew containing as much
milk as the Atlantic ocean holds
water.-Kansas City Star.
