 TARIFF NEGOTIATIONS

A bill authorizing President Roosevelt to raise or lower tar ifs in exchange for foreign trade concessions was passed Thursday by the Senate.
 Authorization of the Presi- dent to negotiate tariffs in re- turn for trade concessions and to raise and lower tariff rates as required is looked upon by many economists as the only practicable method of rembv- ing present obstacles to foreign trade.

ERROR HALTS ALASKA
 DRY LAW REPEAL

The bill repeating dry laws in Alaska, after passing both houses of Congress, has been again delayed as a result of an amendment inserted in the House giving the governor of Alaska power to- pardon per sons convicted under prohibi- tion laws. Vesting of this pow CT in the governor is declared to be unconstitutional, but the fact was not discovered until the repeal bill had been sent to the White House for President Roosevelt's signature.
 To remedy the defect, Dele gate Dimond on Tuesday intro duced a resolution to call the repeal measure back to the Senate and House floors.
 Reports stated that although the Delegate expected immed- fate action by Congress to rect fly the error, he did not expect the president to sign the bill until he returns from his fish ing trip to Florida.

Along the river road I ride
And watch the eager, tawny
tide,
Fast widening now, in drawing
near
The sea, so long desired, so dear.
The cypress trees wear wells Of
moss
Which in the strong, fresh sea-
winds toss,
The great pines thrust their
branches high
Into the Semi-tropic sky.
And never down this road I go
But comes a drive I used to know
To my minds vision once again,
A narrow, dusty, country lane
Where elm trees branches meet
above
And through the golden wheat
fields move
Slow breezes, touched with Au-
gust heat
And breath Of honeysuckle sweet.
Here, wheeling sea gulls, flash
ing white,
And there, the lark's clear-voiced
delight;
All things unlike, yet near the
sea
This inland scene comes back to
me.
What subtle kinship, underlined,
Pairs these two pictures in my
mind?

most of us to have eight hours
of sleep regularly. But come as
near the perfect mark as you
can.
And when we say relaxed
sleep, we mean just that. There
is a great deal Of difference in
the ways Of sleeping.
Some persons go to bed with

in falling asleep and when they
do, they sleep very lightly.
Consequently when they wake

When Manners
Are Correct
By MRS. BEECKMAN
After the Dance

Dear Mrs. Beeckman:
I am very much in doubt
about the following:
After becoming acquainted
one says, II am very glad to
have met you". then, what is
the correct response?
When a girl is asked to dance,
what does she say, if anything.
and when the dance is COM
pleted what does she say?
MARGARET.
/, It is when leaving the per-
son to whom we have been in
troduced that we say. II we
wish, "I am very glad to have
met YOU" The person to whom
we say this should say some
thing like this: THANK you. I
am very glad to have met you
too," or, to vary the wording a
bit, THANK you. I am happy
to have met you too." or "Thank
you. It has been a pleasure to
meet you too," or even, THANK
you. I am so glad to have met
you, and I do hope that I shall
see you again." or e.. that I
shall see you again soon."
In other words, we thank the
person for the gracious state
ment that the person has made.
and then, in order that it does
not appear that we regard the
pleasure as being on their side
only, we enthusiastically indi-
cate that we too are happy at
the meeting.
2. When a girl Is asked to
dance, all she says is, Eyes, I'd
love to-" or THANK you, I'd love
to-"
After the dance her partner
thanks her for the dance. we
hope he will be a wellbred part

dance so much. something

This doesn't mean that you
have to start out and buy a new
house and furniture, or even in.
vest in new furnishings for the
home you have.
It does mean though that you
must consider your rooms care
fully, discard the pieces that are
inharmonious, and replace
them with things more in char
acter.
Change Color Schmes
Sometimes you can achieve a
better effect by merely rearrang-
ing your furniture, moving a
piece from one room to another
where it suits better, and by
changing your color schemes
somewhat.
It's a grand relief too, when
you're tired Of the things you
have, and there's no better time
to do it. in midwinter when
there are not many out Of doors
things to claim attention.
Two New Galleries
Just in time to help you with
suggestions, a local store opens
two new galleries of furnished
rooms. One is in 18th century
style, the other modern. There
are many new ideas expressed
in both, and new ways Of using
old things. Even if you're not
planning many changes, you can
get refreshing thoughts from a
view Of them.
French With English
In the eighteenth century gal
lery, there are two living rooms,
and we've photographed a cor
ner of each to show you.
One is formal, with French
background but a Iningling OF
French and English furniture.
An idea these rooms bring out
is thai contemporary pieces
from both countries go well to-
gether.
The walls in this room are
painted a delicate green, and
the carpet is eggplant. The
French arched windows are
hung with soft gold damask,
with fine, sheer glass curtains,
very full. The other colors
introduced are white and three
different rose tones, all Of them
harmonious.
Pine Paneling Smart
In contrast is the informal
room pictured, with brick fire.
place and pine paneling on one
wall. The overdraperies are an
interesting blocked linen with
old red ground. This red is
repeated in the plain color
chair, with beige banding.
Beige is used again in a huge
leather chair, and the rug is
a deep beige. The wallpaper
has an indistinct design in buff,
which harmonizes with the
honey color of the pine.
A sofa in the room is blue
green, and the pictures furnish
much color, as most of them
are old English prints. Over
the mantle is a Cape Cod
scene.
''There's much more to be
said in recommending these
rooms to you, but space is
limited, so do let me urge you
to 60 down and see for your
self. For more information,

Good Types
High, laced shoes of the
''blucher" type (having the
tongue and toe of the same
piece of leather) are best. Shoes
with the moccasin type Of up
pers are satisfactory if they
have soles and are laced.
Soles should be firm, flat,
moderately flexible and not slip
perry.
Although heels are not advis-
able the sole should be some
what thicker at the heel than
under the arch. A perfectly
&lat sole is undesirable.
The shank of the shoe should
be narrow, the heel close fitting,
the uppers full and soft over
the child's toes and the toe Of
the shoe broad enough for his
toes to move easily.
High Shoes
Slippers should not be worn
instead Of shoes. Low shoes,
laced and well fitted at the heel,
may be worn and sandals that
are well cut and well fitted are
permissible since they are bet
ter than going barefoot.
It is better that high laced
shoes be worn by the little child
even in summer.
Elkskin and lightweight calf
skin are both excellent feathers
for the child'S shoes. Patent
leather is poor as it prevents
evaporation Of perspirat1on:
Sneakers are not considered
good as they are slippery ana
poorly ventilated.
Rapid Growth
When a child outgrows a pair
Of shoes they should be dis
carded and not saved for the
next in size in the family.
"Hand-me-downs" should never
be used unless, as it rarely hap
pens, they are a perfect fit.
In the early years shoes are
usually outgrown before they
are worn out. The temptation
to pass them on in families
where the budget is limited is
keen but should be avoided II
they are not just the type the
smaller child is wearing.
After the child is three or
four years old, however, the
temptation to keep his out
grown Shoes for the younger
child is less acute. AS all
mothers have discovered an &C
tive youngster can go through
q pair of shoes almost before
they need a shine"
Uneven Wear
If the shoes become worn and
are still one-half inch longer
and one-fourth inch wider than
the child's foot it may be worth
while to have them repaired.
Great care must be taken. how
ever. that the cobbler does not
alter the shape Of the shoe with
the new sole or "tip."
Careful watch should be kept
to see where the wear comes on
the shoe. A child who wears
his shoes down unevenly should
have his feet examined. =.
IF the child has flat foot, that
Is. if his ankles bend 1nwards
and his feet turn or roll out
wards, shoes must be adapted
especially to his feet to correct
