= NGLISH women have always
X been noted for their lovely
pink and white compilations

of the rest Of the world. Now with
all eyes turned toward England and
its approaching coronation, everything
English has experienced a big boost,
even to making the famous English
complexion possibility for the Amer

specially prepared and assembled to
give that fresh, healthy look; she may
also envelop herself in a most re-

a heather pink lotion which acts as
an astringent before makeup; she
may use specially prepared English
cleansing cream for dry American
skins, delightful English face powder
and, as a finishing touch, may indulge
in real English perfume, created in
commemoration of the coronation by
an outstanding London firm.
We are apt to connect all these
most feminine vanities with France,
but at the moment it is doubly smart
to think in terms of London as well
as Paris and to include British cos

"WOMEN complain that every wife

two leases held by Senator George l..
Berry and his associates on marble
deposits in the Norris Dam Reservoir.
Ben H. Testerman, Knoxville attor-
ney, handed this opinion to a three
man Federal commission hearing q
suit by the Tennessee Valley Authority
to have the leases declared worthless.
Mr. FISHERMAN said he found that
royalties to landowners had not been
paid within the stipulated time limit.
Ruling to Be Appealed.
Attorneys for the Berry interests
said they would appeal the ruling.
One of the leases was on the New
ton Hill marble quarry-the only sec
ton Of the Berry holdings where there
had been any appreciable quarrying
operations.
1t was not known what effect the
opinion would have on the claims Of
the Berry interests that their holdings
cover approximately l,250,OO0, 600
cubic feet Of marble, which witnesses
have said had value of from $780,
600 to $2,250,0O0.
The special masters ruling came
after counsel for Berry and his asso-
ciates rested their case yesterday
afternoon.
Good Faith Questioned.
The T. v. A. laid the groundwork
for opening Its case today by question:

SHOE TARIFF RISE
URCEDAT HEARING
Industry and Labor Join in
Plea for "Protection of
Living Standard"
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Representatives Of industry and Ia
Dor joined yesterday in an appeal to
the Tariff Commission for higher du-
ties on shoes to protect the Amer
ican standard of living"
Jay o. Ball of New York, president
Of the National Boot and Shoe Manu-
facturers' Association, said American
manufacturers, operating on Amer
lean wage scales, could not compete
with the products of industrial feud-
alism" abroad.
And remember" said Lewis G.
Hubert Of Boston, representing the
United Shoe Workers Of America, If
the American factories can't COM
pete, We can't work" The United
Shoe Workers is affiliated with the
Committee for Industrial Organiza-
ton.
Both testified at concluding hear
ings in the Tariff Commissions in
vestigation of differences in the cost
of production of women's cemented
shoes here and in Czechoslovakia.
DenOunces Resolution.
j. Sidney Bernstein of New York,
representing the Bata Shoe Co., larg-
est shoe manufacturer in Czecho-
slovakia. declared American manufac-
turers had failed to show any neces-
sity for increasing the duty on
Czechoslovakian shoes and denounced
the Senate resolution for the investi-
CATION as propaganda.
This resolution" he said, was in
troduced solely for the purpose of
establishing propaganda to keep shoes
out of the proposed reciprocal trade
agreement with Czechoslovakia.
Mr.. Ball, in a statement filed with
the commission, declared the Bata Co.
was able to deliver shoes in this coun-
try at price less than the cost of
American manufacture because it "ex-
plotted its workers, obtaining max
imum of production at low wages.
1871 Cents an Hour Pay.
He said the average wage paid in
the Bata factories was 28.7 cents an
hour, while American factories paid
an average of 528 cents.
He predicted that unless prompt
steps are taken to equalize the cost of
production, the imported shoes will
become an increasing menace to the
American shoe industry injuriously
affecting our standards of wages and
hours and seriously imperilling en-
ployment Of American Shoe Workers. /"
