municipalities" Revolutions are in order in these
Latin American countries. Indeed. q number Of ma

the South American picture. An American invest
ment Of billions in countries is a re-
minder that American banks and bankers made an
investment Of ls.cOO.oOO in European lands after the
Armistice had been signed. In other words, since the
Close Of the World war. Uncle Sam has been a world
banker. Now, he is worried about his foreign invest
ments. Old stuff. 1t has been that way since the

him on to the biz city for a personal

Kansans Called For Tariff
on Crude

Kansas independent oil operators organized prepa-
ratory to launching another fight for tariff Of a dollar
q barrel on crude oil. Two very prominent oil operat-
ors from Oklahoma assisted in the organization. Bar
rett Galloway pointed out the need for such a tariff
by mid continent producers and declared that made
quate preparations by oil producers was the cause OF
failure to obtain a protective tariff at the mid
summer session OF the congress. He pictured i'm
ports Of oil and gasoline from South America and
Russia as a menace TO the nid-continent field. For
eign goods are shut out: foreign labor is shut out.
Why not a tariff on crude? Foreign crude is a pro-
duct Of cheap labor in the South American fields as
it is in the Soviet Russia Slav land. II the tariff IS
the thing, why not for crude?

Hat Blu Ruling Makes
 French Husband Boss

LYON, France, Mar. 15.-Woman and her hats have been put in their right place by French juris- prudence.
 Milliners who sell a woman more hats than her husband can afford, can't collect.
 A wife can exceed unduly the normal family budget, only with her husbands authority.
 With those as principles the civil tribunal reduced from $2,800 to S400 the years bill for hats of Madame x. Because of public ridicule the newspapers agreed not to use the family name.
 Madame x bought hats on credit. The milliner put in his bill The husband refused to pay. Came the lawsuit.
 Judge Goyet found the husband earned s2OO0 a year with other in- come of S1 POO
 So the judge decided the hus- band, knowing his income, would never have authorized such pur- chases, and reduced the bill to $400.
