 "Well, I must say you don't sound enthusiastic!"
 Susan said she was sorry. She tried to whip herself into the roc sponse Rose wanted. The lace dress had been |. great success she assured her.
 How about Ben? Did he like 1t? Did you come back together?"

 "oh, just wanted to-"
 How could she explain the urge that had sent her rushing back to the city and the safety of the little house? She had not slept the long night through. Phrases of Bob's had kept recurring to her. Not tho sort of girl I thought you were Denise told me you went with this free and easy crowd--you can't always tell about angel faces"
 Of course he had been drinking, but that was no excuse. She saw plainly Denise's purpose in inviting her. She longed only to be away Even the note pushed under her door by servant as Susan packed her bag had not deterred her.
 I'm sorry," the note had said. "T acted the fool last night. Don't remember all I said but hope you will forgive me.s It was signed with Bob's initials.
 She had not seen Ben again. The house had been silent, almost un- tenanted as Susan slipped down the stairs. gvtcre had been q maid dusting tue great hall as she passed. s(he had walked the two miles to tSio station feeling sick and faint and longing for some coffee.

 Tomorrow Susan wondered about tomorrow. Tho night be. fore 1t had seemed tho simplest, most natural thing in tho world to turn to Ernest Heath. Now she was doubtful. Hadn't she been over- nasty and impulsivo? She won- derod if Heath would not resent hcr attitude of the night before. She had boon SO dlstraught that at the time there had seemed nothing else to do. Now she was conscious of nervous dread over tho prospect of meeting him again. Last night everything had been unreal. To. day they had resumed their proper outlines.

CANADA TARIFF
SEEN HERE AS
Low WALL

American trade with Canada
will be adversely affected by the
new Canadian tariff preferences
to the British Empire, which
went into effect at midnight, but
not to the extent once feared,
government officials told Interna-
tionAl News Service today.
The new Canadian schedules
were being studied by the Com.
nnerce and Treasury Departments
today, along with confidential
report from the American lega-
ton at Ottawa.
Blacker on Paper
Public comment on the effect
of the new tariff wall between
the Dominion and tn. United
States was generally withheld in
official quarters today, but the
opinion was expressed that the
situation, as it affects American
trade, appears blacker on paper
than 1t will prove in actual opera
ton.
Several factors contribute to
this belief, notably:
/. The proximity of the United
States and the Dominion, makir
for speedy delivery of American
products, and in the case Of ma
chinery, the accessibility Of quick
service.
U. s. Goods Superior
2. The fact that the United
Kingdom, even under tariff pref
erential, cannot supply the Do
minion with either the quality or
kind of goods that Canada now
obtains from the United States.
3. The close relationship that
exists between Canadian and
American standard. This relates
particularly to steel and steel pro-
ducts. British standards and spe'
cifications vary in greater or less
degree from Canadian, which
have been largely copied from
the United States.
4. Easier exchange facilities be-
tween Canada and the United
States.
For the first eight months of
this year, American eports
across the Canadian border to-
tailed $170,432,000, a drop of
1925, 100000 from the same pc
riod last year.

THE WALLS OF JERICHO

From time immemorial scientists
have been trying to explain from then
point of view, certain miracles re.
corded in the Bible. This is of course
privilege that no one would wish
men of that profession d ME d.
There are very few of the Gospel
miracles that cannot be scien-
tifically expounded. For an example
take the episode of Joshua "com-
handing the sun to stand STILL" From
purely scientific standpoint, Joshua
was familiar enough with his astron-
omy to know when the sun would go
into a total eclipse He simply took
advantage of that knowledge to prove
to the people the power of God And
now we have another explanation of
the falling of the Walls of Jericho. Mr..
Arthur Brisbane in his syndicate col
umn Today" quotes Professor Gar
stang, British Archaeological, who
claims that the walls of Jericho fell be-
cause of an earthquake, and not be-
cause of the blowing of the trumpets.
Twin-City herald. [volume] (Minneapolis, Minn.) 1927-1940, 1932-04-09

"This trivial saving in taxes through
wage cutting is insignificant wher
the problem of real savings is
brought before the home-owners, and
that is lower rates on gas and elec-
trieity. Savings can be effected where
by St. Paul power users will save
from one-half to one-third in rates
and will result in saving of a mil
lion and quarter dollars annually to
home owners.
Wage cutting, and tax slicing
through this method will directly aio
one group, and that is the. large hold.
ers of property. Big investment COM
panies will bank their savings, taken
from the pockets of the underpaid
worker, and the employees spending
will be vitality curtailed as result
Mr.. Mahoney said.
The Negro Non-partisan League at
meeting Thursday endorsed the
candidacy of William Mahoney for
mayor.

THE OBSERVER
FRED G. THOMAS

This theory might be all right If only
the walls were there. But you mus
remember the walls surrounded city
and an earthquake, severe enough to
destroy thick, heavy stone walls
would be severe enough to have caused
the buildings to have fallen, and OF
that, there is no record. If we are to
accept the story at all we must accept
it as it is given us. The story is that
the children of Israel marched around
the walls of the city of Jericho, sever
times, blowing trumpets. The com
monty accepted scientific explanation
is that based on the theory of vibra-
tion. We know how powerful an ele-
ment of destruction vibration may be
come. Therefore it is believed b,
many that when the tramping of PEG
pie and the sounding Of the trumpets
had acquired sympathetic sym
phonic chord, the resultant vibration
undermined the foundations of ths
wall causing it to crumble. But as
Mr.. Brisbane says: eff it was az
earthquake, God made the earth
quake"

URBAN LEAGUE MAKES
STATEMENT
Mr.. c. E. Newman, Editor
Twin City. Herald:

Mr.. c. E. Newman, Editor
Twin City. Herald:
Mr.. Ben H. Atwell, advance repre-
sentative of Green Pastures Company
scheduled to play in Minneapolis
April 18th to 10th, communicated will
the Urban League to invite its coop
Grafton in finding homes to care fol
members Of the cast. Mr.. Atwell ex
pressly desired the best of homes If
which to place these people. Comply
ing with this request the Urbar
League office devoted time in secura
ing stopping places for more than 6
hundred people. This list of homes
was sent, upon his request, to Mr.
Atwell who informed this office thai
it would be available to members OF
the Company so that interested per-
sons could write and secure the homes
desired.
When the members of Green Pas
lures reached Minneapolis, Sunday
night, at o'clock, this office, cooper
ating with Phyllis Wheatley had sig
persons at the Milwaukee depot to
meet them and direct them to the
places they selected. Only some half
dozen people made any use of this
servive.
This statement is submitted because
information reaches us to the effect
that practically none of the homes we
had listed were used. Inasmuch as
many persons had gone to much
trouble and some expense, though
against the advice of this office, to
prepare for these people, we wish
them and the public generally to
know that the matter was given our
most careful consideration. For this
no charges were made or received.
Responsibility for failure to use the
facilities provided cannot justly be
charged to any neglect on the part of
this office.
Respectfully,
Minneapolis Urban League,
By Annie E. Tucker,
Office Secretary.
