Magic-Mirr0r Fun.

"Tho Magic Mirror-step this way and see
yourself thin fat, tall, short!" cries the circus
announcer. We follow the crowd into room
filled with mirrors, and On looking into them
behold ourselves in various comical hideOus or
queer shapes. How do we get to look like
that?" We ask.
The magic" is all in the manufacture OF the
mirror. Before looking glass is shipped from
a factory it is examined by an expert for flaws.
If defect, no matter how slight, Is found. the
mirror is not Salable aS q perfect glass, ana
is sent to another department.
Here it may be used for a number of things.
Sometimes it is broken up for small mirrors.
More often 1t is carefully waved so as to pro-
duce queer, laughabe reflections. An ordinary
glass may be waved In o number OF styles,
making the beholder look like o person with
several heads, zigzag legs or enormous hands.
Magic mirrors were not uncommon In the
Middle Ages, when polished metal and steel
served as looking glasses The surface, when
made slightly convex In form, would reflect the
image as one-half its size. At that time 1t was
the fashion for women to carry small hand
mirrors of polished metal in attractive, carved
ivory boxes with elaborate designs.
In China and Japan mirrors Of polished
metal were first used as early as the ninth
century, and even now are preferred TO any
modern mirrors, because Of their religious sig
nificance. In every household, poor as well
as rich, the large bronze mirror plays an inn
portant part, as it is believed that the hrst
Japanese mirror was given at the foundation Oh
the empire by a sun goddess.

informed me that would watch the big game
that afternoon from the house window, and not
from the bench.
All morning puzzled over my experience Of
the night before. Who had struck me, and
why? The mystery was deeper than ever.
. But when afternoon came forgot it in the
contagious excitement Of the big game The
window in Donny's room through which We had
watched the ghost proved very useful now, for
had good view Of the field from it, although
/ saw everything from one end. But 1t GER
tainly was better than missing the game en-
tirely.
And what gamei The e. & NJ team was
strong-Stronger than We had realized. They
played us of our feet during the first half scor-
ing two touchdowns and kicking both goals.
Cathedral seemed unable to gain around the
ends on the wet field and the e. 81 M. line
was holding like wall
Just before the whistle our quarterback got
a long forward pass away successfully. and we
had the bali ON their 2S-yard line. After three
plays had failed 20 gain Peters dropped back
to kick. The play was at the other end Of the
field, but even I, as far away as was, could
see the ease with which he put the ball between
the uprights from that position, scoring the held
goal
But that didn't look very big on the score
board in comparison with e. & M. IA. The
tide Of battle, however, continued to favor
Cathedral as the second half got under way.
Again we got within striking distance of the
goal, again we failed to gain or line plays and
again Peters dropped back to kick. The ball
sailed Serenely over for his second field goal.
The crowd became more hopeful. If Peters
could just get enough tries at that goal he might
equal E. g. MS score single-handed!
THEN e. g. M. got the ball, and for time
they gained, but tumble lost it for them
in midfeld. Seizing the opportunity, Cathedral
gathered all its strength and began q march
toward the goal line. At last the E. & M line
seemed to be weakening. The Cathedral backs
worked rapidly. surely. They would not be de-
MED, and before they changed goals for the final
quarter the touchdown and extra point had been
made. Now e. g. M. had a lead Of only one
point If Peters got another chance for drop
kick!
As I sat through that last quarter prayed
that he would get his chance, but it seemed that
he would not. E. & M. realized the situation.
and they constantly punted the bali back out Of
danger For that reason was seeing little OF
the play although Cathedral was coming TO-
ward the goal at my end Of the field.
But at last the chance came. Winters our
left tackIe-the man Subbed for, and q mighty
good lineman-broke through and smeared one
of the enemys endless punts Taking the ball,
Cathedral made it first down on the 50-yard
line. The time was short, and our quarterback
tried long pass. It grounded. An end run
gave us eight yards A plunge for the two yards
looked like . good play, but the E. b M. line
held and the ball did not advance. It was
fourth down, with four to go, and the BAN on
the 42-yard line.

TARIFF WRITER'S
INTERESTS VARIED
III Republican Members of
Senate Group Are Weighted
Toward Manufacturers.
RY MARK SULLIVAN.

"A catalogue OF the forces now focus
ing on tariff revision begins logically
with 1.-THE Senate finance committee.
THAT is the committee which will write
in the first instance the tentative draft
Of whatever changes the Senate will
propose. This committee now Is hear
sng testimony from persons who desire
changes. The hearings will end about
July 10.
Thereupon the finance committee will
transform itself from listening body
to a writing body. 1t will write pro-
posed changes In the bill. Its draft will
80 to the Senate as a whole about Au-
gust 10. Thereafter the Senate as a
whole will do whatever turns out to be
the resultant of party and factional
forces within that body.
Committee Counts for Good Deal.
In this formula of procedure it is
obvious the Senate finance committee
counts for a good deal. 1t would be
easy, however, to exaggerate what it
counts for, because the Senate as a
whole can and to large extent prob
ably will tear its work to pieces. 1t
would be equally easy to misguess what
it will do, because it will keep its ears
open to the various outside forces in
volved. It will be far from writing
whatever draft it might feel like writ
ing IL there were not the check of out
side forces at work.
In any event, the Senate finance COM
mittee consists of IL Republicans and
8 Democrats. The Republican ma
jority naturally will have most to say.
The Republican majority consists of
Smoot OF Utah as chairman, Watson of
Indiana, Reed of Pennsylvania, Short
ridge of California, Edge of New Jersey,
Couzens Of Michigan, Greene of YER
mont, Deneen of Illinois, Keyes of New
Hampshire. Bingham of Connecticut
and Sackett of Kentucky.
To make generaliZations about these
IL Republicans would be as subject to
error as any generalization about any
group. Views which might be attrib-
rted to them because of their back
ground could readily turn out to be
different from what they will ultimately
write. Subject to that qualification.
certain obvious concentrations can be
made about them. First of all, they
Evening star., 1929-06-27

agriculture equally. They would not
favor agriculture to the neglect OF
manufacturing.
Geographical Characteristics.
The next generalization about these
eleven Republicans Is geographical and
Is similar to the rest. No one OF them
comes from west of the Mississippi,
with the two exceptions already mem
toned, Smoot and Shortridge. 1t
should be added that Sackett comes
from a State, Kentucky, in which ag-
riculture Is a main interest. Similarly,
Deneen comes from State, Illinois,
in which agriculture is practically
equal to manufacturing.
II this group as whole were subject
to no outside pressure. we might infer
that as the net result of their attitudes,
they would write draft in which every
protected industry. including agricul-
ture. would get close to what 1t wants,
consistent with the interests of other
protected industries. At the same time,
If agriculture wanted raises for itself
coupled with no raises on manufacture
ing, certainly not more than one man
in this group would take that position.
The broad fact, however, is that in
the present instance all these tariff
writer's must be aware of outside pres
sures. One such pressure is typifed
by an article in the Wichita, Kans.,
Eagle, under the caption, Kansas Gets
Hot on Tariff" and saying that Kan
sas is edging into tariff upheaval of

are, with one exception, very ortfo-
dox and very regular Republicans. The
exception is Couzens Of Michigan.
Couzens' Departures Cited.
The departures of Couzens from or
thodox Republicanisln have no fixed
pattern. He departs. frequently, but in
his departings there is no pattern of
precedent which would enable one to
guess whether he viii depart In the
matter of the tariff or where he will
depart to. Couzens comes from a State
and a city, Detroit, Mich. which has
extremely large and important manu-
featuring interests. However, this fact
is, in turn, subject to qualification. The
chief manufacturing interest of Michi-
gan is automobiles, and the automobile
people have no strong interest in pro-
tectiye tariff. Indeed, 1t would be more
accurate to say the automobile people
do not care for protection for them
selves, and prefer a low tariff In general.
because they are great exporters and
want the good will of other nations. 1t
should be added that Senator Couzens
is quite capable of dismissing the mar
row local interests of his State, as well
as his own political interests, and fG.-
lowing a course dictated by some other
consideration. In short, CouzenS is ca
high courses.
The next generalization about the IL
Republicans on the Senate finance COM
mittee is similar to the first. AS group
they are heavily weighted on the side
of manufacturing interests. Three come
from New England. No other section
is so strongly represented. Add Edge
of New Jersey and Reed of Pennsyl-
vania, anti there are five from what IS
called the manufacturing East. 1t
would by no means distort the picture
to add Watson of Indiana, whom no
one ever charged with causing displeas-
ure to the manufacturing interests.
None Belongs to Farm Bloc.
This picture of the group as likely to
do nothing harmful to manufacturing
is stronger than it is so far put To
approach it from the other end, we
may say that no one OF them belongs
to the farm bloc. No one of them, for
example. voted with the farm group In
the decisive roll-call on the debenture
would take the position of working for
revision in the interest of agriculture
alone, which is the position Borah takes.
No one of them represents a State
in which agriculture is the industry
that prevails indisputedly over all
others. No one of them represents any
Of those agricultural States of which
Iowa, for example, is the type. The
two partial exceptions to this generali-
zation are Shortridge of California and
Smoot of Utah. Yet to say Shortridge
and Smoot are exceptions is mislead-
ing. Smoot and Shortridge are per-
fectly orthodox Republicans who would
always take the perfectly orthodox
view about any and every detail of pro-.
lection. No manufacturer would suffer
at their hands. They would be for
high protection for manufacturing and
