Mansfield on Shoes

Congressman John ]. Mansfield Of Texas is OPP
1880 TO a tariff on shoes. His argument is that the
American shoe trade has no foreign competition, that
the only importations consist Of wonen's and chill
dren,s shoes and "these are OF minor concern" Mans
field Of Texas has an array OF figures He says Amer
la, nlants manufacture 45o. 100000 pairs of shoes an
,,,al1v while the importations are about one per cent,
,,s,alIv a little less. His verdict is cit is plain to be
seen that the real purpose Of the shoe tariff is for an
excuse to raise the price Of shoes and by placing the
tariff wall so high there can be no possible foreign
competition"

Finds Thyroid Makes
Or Mars an Aviator

BALTIMORE, Oct. 2S.-Men and
women with a hyperthyroid secre-
tion have no place in aviation,
according to DR. Leon Asher, pro-
fessor of physiology in the Univer-
sity of Berne. Switzerland. The
efficiency of a sky pilot, he eX
planned. depends on his thyroid
condition.
In lecture on Recent Advances
in Thyroid Physiology" before the
theological Society of the School
Of Medicine of the University of
Maryland. DR.. Asher outlined the
important field thyroid pathology
and research are destined to play
in aeronautics.
DR.. Asher learned by experiment
in the physiological laboratory at
Berne, he said, that animals with
more than the normal thyroid
secretion require an excessive
amount Of oxygen. Because of this
they cannot endure low atmos-
pheric pressure and an atmosphere
of low oxygen content, such as
as met in high attitudes. The same
is true of men, DR.. Asher said.
