CONFEREES AGREE
. ON WOOL SCHEDULE
Higher Rates Written in Bill
by Senate Upheld by
House Members.

BY the Associated Press
The Senate and House tariff conferees
have reached complete agreement on
the controversial wool schedule, in most
cases upholding the higher rates writ
ten into the bill by the Senate.
The rates approved by both brapches
of Congress were largely increases over
those of the existing law and in many
instances the Senate rates were higher
than those of the House. The decisions
of the conference were announced late
yesterday.
The principal increases accepted were
on wool waste and wool rags. The
House, however, scored a victory by OBJ
tanning approval Of its rate of 40 cents a
pound and 70 per cent and valoregn on
wool felt hat bodies with IS cents addi-
tional per article on trimmed bodies and
finished felt hats. The Senate had ap-
proved a rate of 80 cents a pound and
SO per cent.
Imported wool rags are used chiefly
In the manufacture of low-grade WOODEN
articles. including clothing. The COM
modify was given a rate of 18 cents a
pound, that approved by the Senate, in
comparison with the House rate of
cents.
A new subsection was added to the
schedule providing a decreased rate or
woods that go into the manufacture OF
cheap clothing and sometimes carpets
Under the present law this type of WOO
is dutiable at the same rate as the finer
clothing woods.
The raw clothing wool rate was not in
dispute in the conference as both
branches of Congress approved a Scent
increase in the present levy of 81 cents a
pound.
Returning to the agricultural schedule
the conferees eliminated Senate in
creaseS in the duty on frozen and drieC
| eggs and accepted the House rate of IL
cents pound, which is also the presc nj
duty on dried whole eggs. dried egg yolk
| and dried egg albumen. The Senate had
proposed duties of SO, 80 and so cents
respectively. The House rate of 8 cent.
a pound on frozen eggs also was agreed
upon. The Senate had proposed a duty
OF II cents as compared with the pres.
ent Scent rate.

The Baden-POwelI Kite,

This type was originated by the
noted Englishman, Sir Robert Baden
Powell, organizer of the Boy Scout
movement. Kites of this type were
used in the Boer War to elevate OBJ
servers to report on the enemy's move
ments. Balloons had been used, but
the accuracy of the Beers rife fire had
made that dangerous, so l;iteS, offering
a smaller target, we're tried with sue
cess A kite of this type was also
used to elevate the radio aerial for
the first transatlantic wireless COM
munication by Marconi.
The frame is made of three sticks
OF equal length. The crossings occur
at one-quarter of the length of the
vertical stick, and are at right angles
and in the center of the cross-sticks
This frame is dashed securely and bound
with an outline string.
The frame is covered by laying it on
piece of paper or cloth and cutting
out the shape with an inch margin

Every consideration possible has been

announced today, following receipt Of a
letter from the Washington Central
Labor Union protesting against employ

Mr.. Steuart declared he had i'm

employed were without sufficient edu-
cation to qualify.
In letter to Mr.. Steuart, Frank j
Coleman, union secretary, complained
against the employment of persons
who have positions in either the city OIL

PRODUCERS OPPOSE
NEW COPYRIGHT BILL
Publishers Join Them in Replying
to Testimony of Authors
and Playwrights.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Producers and publishers, assailing
previous arguments of author poet and
playwright witnesses, yesterday appeared
before the House patents committee on
resumption of hearings on the Vestal
automatic copyright bill.
They told of large royalties to authors
and little profits to producers in an eff
fort to refute the authors charges of
"pirating" their products.
Lee Shubert, theatrical producer,
testified that 70 per cent of the plays
he produced were financial failures.
William Klein, counsel for the Shu-
bert theatrical enterprises, scored the
dramatic composer. who, he said, gets
his whether the producer gets anything
or not"
He cited royalties paid to authors for
plays as follows:

The Vestal bill would vest copyright
in the author when the work is COM
pleted, without registration, and would
provide for "divisibility" whereby the
author would have separate control OF
magazine serial, stage and radio rights.

In some winds it may be necessary
to use a tail with this kite. The tail
can be made of pieces of paper about
10 by inches, tied about foot apart
and with their ends famed out TO pro-
vide wind resistance. The tail is
fastened to the bottom of the vertical
stick.
AS mentioned in a previous article
of this series, it is recommended that
the makers restrict the size of theiI
kites to about three feet in length, and
it is with that dimension in mind thai
recommendations are made as to sizes
OF course. larger kites can be made
but they become problem to trans
port, fly and maintain. AS all awards
in kite contests, for the pull of the
kite, are made upon pounds-pull-per-
surface-area basis, restricting the size
of your kite will not limit your chances
of winning the contest.

GRAHAM VIEWS
EXPORT AUTO
SITUATION
Foreign Field Shows Stability
Disturbances in India Fail
To Halt Business
BY ROBERT c. GRAHAM

by ROBERT G. GRAHAM
The gradual disposal Of stocks
Of cars overseas is making for a
healthy condition and warrants q
more promising outlook in the ex.
port markets.
There has been during the last
nine months . recession in the
purchasing power Of people
throughout the world due to the
drop in the prices Of primary
products like wheat, cotton and
copper, which serve as the prin-
cipal medium of many foreign
people in acquiring automobiles.
Outlook Is Good
Economies effected by Ameri-
can manufacturers and passed on
to foreign consumers in the form
Of greater values Of motor trans
portation are gradually having the
result that no greater number Of
bales Of cotton, bushels Of wheat,
or similar commodities, are re-
Quired In obtaining automobiles
that was the case in the begin
ming Of last year.
This adjustment Of American
automobiles to the purchasing
power Of foreign people based on
the income they derive from the
sale Of their own products Is max
ing for q healthy fundamental sit.
uation, and old stocks Of cars
hquidated may stimulate a grad
ual upward trend in exports.
Already there are some bright
ening spots in the export hori-
zon. Dealers in Scandinavia ap-
pear to enjoy a reasonable vol
une of business; Ecuador is
showing signs of improvement as
a result of better prices which
now prevail for its principal
product-cocoa Mexico has been
showing very far-sighted attitude
toward motor transport develop
mentS, and there are signs Of
increases above the present vol
ume. which has been quite at
tractive right along.
Disturbances in India, al
though hampering, are not stop
ping business entirely Of dealers
in Bombay and Delhi. Some or.
ders are coming through from
Australia, even though general
conditions are reported as being
very poor.
The automobile industry IS
fully aware of the Importance Of
the export business, and through
the National Automobile Cham
ber of Commerce is organizing
committees, which are made up
Of export specialists, to help
solve problems of the various
markets or to revise practices
and guiding data in expanding
transport throughout the world.
