BUFFALO ORA5S V- 3 America May Slap Sky-High Duties on Imports From Japan BY BRUCE CATTON Provo Herald Washington Correspondmt WASHINGTON, June 13 The State Department is giving study toa -plan- whereby the United States government could clamp a tight embargo on imports from Japan without the aid or any new legislation by Congress. The plan was called to the department's attention by Congressman, Earl under existing law, the Tariff Lewis, Ohio Republican. Commission may, after investiga tion, raise duties on any imports sufficient to make the priceof an Imported article equal to the price that article sells for when produced pro-duced in the United States. It must do that if it is formally requested re-quested to do so by either house of Congress. Congressman Lewis suggests that labor costs in Japan are no- the specter ba'ge wffttejf tb his daughter. "BuT she does not toriousiy far below American Ja- see them. She died last year; And the mother, knowing the strain under which her husband is working at the front, has , not had the courage to tell him his daughter is dead.

He is here for a" job, and coals of fire are being heaped on his head. He once was famous as the most rabid anti-Catholic in public life. Now he is about to be attached at-tached to the government payroll and the two men who are going go-ing to do the trick are those very devout Catholics, Jim Farley and Frank Murphy. Annapolis Cruises Are No Vacation Those summer cruises the Annapolis An-napolis midshipmen are taking now are no idle holiday trips'. The lads really have to work. Most fun is had by the first class men, who, together with the third-class men. are cruising on the battleships New York, Texas, and Arkansas. They get to fill the roles of officers; by brief spells when the ship is safely out in the ocean where it can't hit anything they even take turns at being captain. One stunt is to set a box or a barrel adrift and then announce that the bit of flotsam represents a dock Will Midshipman Spivis now take command of the vessel and bring it neatly alongside in such a manner that, if the dock were real, the vessel could be moored without wrecking anything? any-thing? The third-clasa men don't have any such fun as that. They play the. parts of-enlisted men, all through the three months of the cruise. By turns they are oilers, water-tenders, electricians' helpers, help-ers, and so on; wear dungarees and get their faces and hands beautifully dirty. By the time the cruise is over, each of themhag served in each division of th4 ship's company -in the most lowly and menial or tapacltlfcar. Second-class men cruise on de- stroyers, for 3 week periods. They perform the duties of petty. officers.

Tm no' prude but I would hang my : head in shame to use some of the language your nurses did. And another thing, no nurse accepts any such talk as your picture pic-ture of surgeons yelling in surgery- and furthermore no cautery surgeon working alone could possibly pos-sibly remove an arm. Your whole story is ridiculous and how it ever came to. be printed is more than I can see. Nurses are at least ladies all are high school graduates grad-uates and many have one or two years of college. Such a pack of lies as you wrote! The only conclusion con-clusion I can come to is that you are a low grade moron. The whole story is absolutely untrue practically prac-tically every detail. I was dis- fusted for having read the book et I was interested in seeing how a low mind could really go and I found out. I shall get a committee commit-tee of the district nurses and we shall write your publishers to stopj uie dook. xou nugut nave a nice libel suit on your hands.

Even the installation of modern electrical appliances does not take, all the routine from housework. And it is routine that makes hard labor. , The whole subject of outside ambitions is amplified when the young wife has not been taught to expect more than a fireside and children. But the trend of modern education is increasingly in the other direction, and the fact of ambition away from the home must be faced as a major domestic problem. - 2 (ill! up ; i Lions' Group to Advertise Utah SALT LAKE CITY, July 13 U.R) W.

Every day, New Yorkers purchase 5,000,000 newspapers and read them everywhere. The larg est circulations belong: to five morning and five evening news papers, with several dozen foreign language papers and . party organs having lesser reading publics. As an inveterate reader, - the metropolitan . dweller uses the time spent in going to and from work for this purpose. He can scan his morning paper during a 30-minute or so ride downtown on the subway, and hisjevenihg paper during the same length of time en route home. To help handle a newspaper with one hand while hanging onto a istrap with the other, he has worked out a special technique for folding the sheet. In a crowded car1, there are so many newspapers close by that I don't have to buy my own, thus vsaving two cents. " Subways are the "principal link f m tne citys complex; -j and effi cient transportation chain. Three I separate systems coyer practical ly all of the boroughs of Manhattan, Manhat-tan, Bronx, Brooklyn and Queens. (The fifth, Staten Island, is serv ed by ferries.) ; On the Surface of toerstxeetsj Jbjgses and taxis, all of which which are too slow for longer ' distances, when one can go all over town by subway for a nickel. A ride atop a double-deck bus, or on the elevated ele-vated cars is an excellent way to see the city. Taxis are expensive ion. T.he Provo chamber of com merce asked, why such condition andXwhat is the remedy. They should know, as they have used all the power they possessed to bring about the present condition, therefore should know the rem edy. However, I will state part of my viewsV It is an unquestionable unquestion-able fact Utah , is naturally an -industrial, not agricultural state The reason our taxation ' is so terrific is becauseXthe budgets is formed to cover notonly the least amount necessary forproper gov ernmental expenses but for cer tain patronages and other "forms of graft then tax to meet it, in stead . of rating a just tax and forcing the budget within its limits. Our revolutionary fathers demanded,! fought for and won self government on the primary reason that excessive taxation is tyranny. - That none should -be taxed out of his private property was the idea of our fathers when the above quotation was inserted in Article V. Notwithstanding th&i excessive tay rate, sales tax, gasoline tax and numerous other socalled hid Lden taxes we have the antiquated, devastating, unconstitutional pub lic improvement assessments which in many cases amounts to 50 per. cent of the possible sale value, and some 100. per cent, or more, for a single project yet many are installed, and few give adequate service, and mostly none Utahns who boast of widefl?e invested, yet nearly streets in Salt Lake, and Provo would find them out-classed in the main thoroughfares here. Upper Broadway and .Park Avenue, besides be-sides having six or eight lanes each, are lined with a grass-plant ed parking down the middle. Up the west side of Manhattan runs an elevated highway and a river' side parkway, which handles an immense volume of cars at mod erately fast speeds. Although the maze of traffic is baffling at first, it becomes fun to drive in Jt because the system is really simple. The drivers seem more intelligent than in the "sticks,! too. .

Nor did the proprietor of the Dove stir when his front door was once more pushed open and Tuckie Thompson, an animated sequined figure, tripped gaily in. By contrast, con-trast, the apartment was as still as the grave. "Oh, Mr. Martin," Tuckie called out cheerily in her falsetto voice She was in the highest spirits. "Mr. Martin-n!" She stopped abruptly ab-ruptly at the sound of the tele phone, then rushed into the living room and picked up the receiver, still unaware of the body lying on the floor, arms outstretched, de fenseless for the first time, in death. x "Hello, hello," she answered shrilly.

' "I guess you mean pulse, lady, laconically answered Reilly. That guy's beyond the pulse, feeling stage. He's stiffening now." After that Tuckie grew more confused..
