NEW CANADIAN CUSTOMS
BARRIER is ERECTED
~ the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Canada has effected a further Gus
toms barrier. This information is con-
tanned in advices to the Department of
Commerce which report importations
into Canada beginning october will
carry increased valuations upon which
duties are to be assessed on a range of
fruits, vegetables, live stock, meats and
eggs, and additional or dumping duty
will be applied on all shipments invoiced
at lower valuations.
This action is taken under authority
vested in the Canadian government by
the recently revised provisions of the
Canadian customs act to fix the dutiable
values of any class of goods the impor-
tation of which prejudicially or injuri-
ously affects the interests of Canadian
producers or manufacturers.
Excepting in the case of peaches and
pears, the new dutiable valuations are
to be in effect until otherwise ordered.
The new valuations are as follows:
Peaches, AZ cents per pound until Oc-
tober 5; pears, 334 cents per pound until
October 81; apples, cents; cabbage,
ia cents; celery, cents; onions, 2
cents; mushrooms, 80 cents; tomatoes,
5 cents. On the above commodities, the
valuations viii be computed to include
the weight of the crates or containers.

BEAUTY" BUSINESS
HAS RAPID GROWTH
Gross Turnover of Billion
Dollars a Year Estimated
by U. S. Official.
BY J. C. RoYLE.

How do I look?" That question has
supplanted How do you feel?" and
When do we eat?" in the American
vocabulary and built up a billion-dol.
lar-a-year business. This new industry
now ranks among the first 10, along
with steel, construction, the production
and sale of automobiles, motion pictures
and the fuels as a leading factor in
American business.
Exploitation of personal hygiene as
an aid to beauty, along with successful
selling appeal, has developed an indus
try which is described by the Depart
ment of Commerce as constant" or
shockproof. That means the depart
ment regards it as among the essentials.
Formerly 1t was said that people must
eat, wear clothes and have shelter, but
now 1t must be added that they must
look their best.
Benefits to Health.
AS a result the beauty" business now
has gross turnover of over 81 900 000,-
900 year and thrusts its influence into
a score of lines which once could afford
to ignore 1t. This estimate was made
today by C.. G. Conconnon. chief OF the
Chemical Division Of the Department Of
Commerce.
The element of personal hygiene and
the introduction of absolute cleanliness
bring this about, with a consequent
continuously beneficial effect on health
and looks. 1t has resulted in an enor-
nous expansion in the use of toilet ar
ticleS, perfumes, cosmetics and, most Of
all, soaps, as well as rapid develop
ment in the field Of beauty services in
volving BARRIERS, hairdressers and mani
curiStS.
While the business has been affected
to minor degree by the worldwide de-
preston, with reduced sales of higher
priced perfumes and cosmetics, the gen.
eral demand for beauty aids has re-
mained as constant as that for food.
clothing or shelter, according to the
Commerce Department.
Value of Perfumes.
The approximate wholesale value Of
perfumes, cosmetics and toilet prepara-
tons sold in the United States in the
last year was $250,000, 000 It is con-
servatively figured that their retail value
should be increased SO per cent, which
would bring the sum TO S375, 900 900.
Add to this the cost of personal services
OF the beauty parlors, dermatologistA
baths end barber shops and the money
spent for curling irons bath cabinets,
mechanical massage machines, vibrators,
dryers and other articles and the sum
will closely Approximate a billion dollars.
Some 4,000,00 women are believed to
account for the expenditure of so per
cent of this sum. The field is a wide
one since there are over 100000
women in the country. The increasing
personal consciousness of men has also
broadened the business immeasurably.
Many universities are now offering
courses In the study and preparation Of
cosmetic and pharmaceutical products.
