gains scored by items affected by duty
reduction and those of all Others
However, when sugar, which rose 106
per cent, is deducted, the increase for
duty reduction items is 27 per cent,
involving a value Of $2,783, 900. Sugar
importations from Cuba were affected
chiefly in 1885 by the shift in source
of supply from the Philippines.
Whereas in 1885 we took only n
per cent more goods, other than sugar,
on which we reduced duties, we took
88 per cent more Cuban products on
which duties were not reduced.

Bedtime Stories
The Decision.

Farmer Browns Boy. Now I've got
to do something about those squir-
rels. Nothing would please that fell
low more than to find those babies.
They are not safe here any longer. I
wonder if mother would be willing to
feed them with a medicine dropper
If I should take them home. I don't
like to ask her to do it. for it means
a lot of extra work. Were I at home
I would do it myself. Perhaps I
could catch Mrs. Happy Jack and put
them all in a big cage that I've got
up in the barn"
He suggested this possibility to his
father. His father shook his head.
I'm afraid" said Farmer Brown,
that If you should catch Mrs. Happy
Jack and put her in that cage she
would be SO frightened and upset that
she might lose all her mother love.
She might even kill those babies her
self. I have known such things to
happen when wild folk have been
made prisoners. No. I don't think
you'd better try catching Mrs. Happy
Jack. BY the way. We need some
bread and a few other things. You'd
better 60 home and get them this
afternoon, then you can ask mother
about taking care of those squirrels" ."
I'm going to take them with me"
declared Farmer Browns Boy. If she
doesn't see them she might say that
she can't take care of them. but If
she sees what pretty, helpless little
things they are she'll agree to take
care Of them. know mother"
So, much to Mrs. Happy Jacks dis
tress, Farmer Browns Boy carried of
that nest with the babies in 1t. She
was heartbroken and Farmer Browns
Boy just hated to do it. but he had
had another glimpse Of Shadow the
Weasel and he knew Just how fearless
and bold that little killer is. He just
| didn't dare leave those baby squirrels
where Shadow could get at them.
So it was that Happy Jack and Mrs.

ards of Construction.

The movement among banks to par
ticipate more actively In improving
building standards and to encourage
home construction financed by amor
tised mortgages is emphasized IN a sur
vey conducted among approximately
600 clearing houses by Banking, journal
Of the American Bankers Association.
Results of the study are reported in
the magazines April issue.
A QUESTIONABLE sent to the clearing
houses disclosed that in 54.5 per cent
Of the reporting groups, on an average.
banks are active in improving con-
struction standards and that banks in
rs per cent are making amortized home
loans.
"As nearly as any general conclusion
can be formed" says the survey report,
"it seems that the most active efforts
toward better conditions are being
made in some Of the Southern and
Western States, as a revolt from pow
erty and pioneer conditions, while in
some Of the Eastern and Northern
States the revolt is against the cheap
construction in unsightly suburbs and
low grade housing In outlying districts.
Averages are dominated largely by
medium sized communities in which
there Is less meeting Of extremes. In
some of the Eastern, Northern and
older States, where conditions also
have been bad largely because OF the
predominance Of industrial centers, the
least effcrt toward improvement Is
being made"
Stewart Mcdonald, Federal housing
administrator, in statement accom-
panying the survey. says that to a
large extent the effort of the F. H. A.
to promote standardization Of mortgage
lending practices and q wider trend
toward higher property standards has
been possible only through the CO.
operation Of banking institutions"
"The successful operation of the ma
tional housing act" he states, depends
on private initiative TO a great degree.
More and better homes for the Amer
ican people under the provisions OF the
housing act can come only as banks
and other financial institutions con-
tinue to give this cooperation.
Thus, apart from all else, the banks
actually are performing a notable pub
lie service in making mortgage money
available to home owners in greater
abundance than at any time In recent
years"

Farmer Browns Boy.

-HESE were busy days for Farm
er Brown and Farmer Browns
Boy. 1t was good sugar sea-
i son. The days were bright and
warm, while the nights were cold.
That meant good run of sap. You
see the warmth Of the days drew the
sap up from the roots, where it had
been stored all Winter. but the cold
nights drove it back again. Could 1t
have remained up in the branches the
season would have been a short one.
for all the sap needed would soon have
been up in those branches.
OF course, all the time hot fire
was kept going in the evaporator to
boil the sap into sirup. Over in a
corner of the sugar house was a box
and in the box was the nest Of Mrs.
Happy Jack the Gray Squirrel. You
know that nest had been taken from
the firebox of the evaporator. In that
nest we're three baby squirrels. Their
mother came and went through hole
that Farmer Browns Boy had made
for her in the side of the sugar house.
Much of her time she spent with those
babies. She was a good mother.
Mother love had made her brave, for.
of course, she never before had lived
so close to human beings.
The door of that sugar house was
left open during the day and Farmer
Browns Boy sometimes worried a
little for fear that some enemy might
be bold enough to enter and kill those
babies while he and his father were
away. He wondered If he should
put the nest back in the firebox when
the season was over. Then one morn
ing he was forced to make decision,
and very quick decision, as to what
should be done with that happy little
family. He caught just glimpse of a
slim, trim, white form bounding along
not far from the sugar house.
