available for new investments, commit
ments and expenditures.
Before undergoing any additional ex-
pense, wife should study the family
budget. Perhaps If some items are
displaced, the new expense can be
borne.
For example, home in the country
might obviate the need of Summer
vacation. because the latter might be
spent pleasantly at home. This saving
might furnish the extra funds needed
to carry" the house.
What you can afford is not ques-
ton to be answered loosely or care

opinion of others. Your rent may be
higher than others, or YOU may spend
more on better clothes, richer food. or
more extensive entertaining. IL isn't so
much what income you enjoy that de

what you spend, and what is left.

A Sermon for Today
Love Is Supreme.
ny REV. JOHN n. GUM

"The greatest of these is love."--I
Cor, kills.
Greater than eloquence, greater than
knowledge. greater even than faith and
hope, is love. Indeed, love stands SUI
preme above all other possessions.
Other possessions are profltless UNI
less they be possessed in love and their
use Is directed by love.
Though I speak with the tongues OF
men and OF angels, and have not love,
l. am become as sounding brass or a
tinkling cymbal.
And though I have the gift OF
prophecy and understand all mysteries
and all knowledge; and though 1 have
all faith, SO that could remove noun
tains, and have not love, L am nothing.
And though bestow all my goods to
feed the poor. and though / give my
body to be burned, and have not love-
1t profiteth me nothing"
Love is the heart-throb of every
painting. of every poem, OF every song
Indeed love Is the music of life, and
makes all existence a sweet melody
And the wonderful thing is that we
may all experience love, AS another
puts it, Few can attain wisdom; health
is denied to many; power may be exer-
cised by only the favored few; wealth
seems the gift of tickle fortune to her
scattered favorites; fame and glcey
crown not many heads; but love can
enter every heart, shed its radiance
about every hearthside, brighten every
life and bring q foretaste OF Heaven
into this old gray earth itself"
The happieSt people in the world are
not those who have the most learning,
or the most wealth, or the most lux
uries, or the most power. or the most
fame, but those who have the most
love. OF all life's blessings, love is
supreme.

TREASURY DELUGED
 BY TARIFF QUERIES
Customs Receipts Show Drop
 Despite Increased Rate

Washington. July r LP}-The treasury department is being deluged with requests from its customs col lectors and importers for interpretl- tions of the new tariff law
 Nevertheless. it is not giving it's administrators as much worry as had been anticipated. Customs officials predict the new machinery will be working smoothly as soon as regula- tions covering a few antiquities are drafted.
 Meanwhile, the tariff commission is holding up more than 50 cost-cf- production Investigations ordered hy the senate. pending appointment of new commission by President Hoover. The president has until September r to reorganize the com- mission of six members.
 Customs receipts for all but the last two days Of the first months operation of the new tariff total S&6,547215, a drop of little more than $5.000. 900 from the $41,7OO,470 tDlltCltl LOT llit Cpt tc tOllIlllS per = lod last year under the Fordney- -Mc- Cumber law.
 Not Fair Comparison
 Customs officials say these figure s cannot be taken as fair compa-i- son in view Of the fact that import CTS brought in abnormal shipments and withdrew unusually large qual- titles of goods from bonded Ware houses just before the new law be- came effective in order that they might benefit by the old and lower rates.
 Should imports this year equal those Of 1928, it is estimated the Hawley Shoot act will produce more than $G0o,Goo.00o in revenue.
 The first controversy over the law has arisen over a decision by the treasury to permit admission of SIX shiploads of lumber from Soviet Russia. The treasury ruled il could not be proved this lumber was pro- duced wholly or in part by convict labor.
 The National Lumber Nanufactur- CTS Association thinks otherwise and has protested in a brief filed with Seymour Lowman, assistant secre- tary Of the treasury.
