Washington, D. C„ July 1—.Sharply
conflicting views as to the tax bur
den to he Imposed upon the American
people by the administration's tariff
hill was expressed today by republi
can and democratic leaders of the
house.
Counting the free list, the average
duty rate estimated by Chalrtnan
Fordr.cy of tile ways and means com
mittee, was at between 18 and 20
per cent, compared with 18.55 per
cent under th<r Payne-Aldrleh aver
age and 6 per cent under the present
I'nderwood measure.
Fordney insisted, however, that the
nverage after the accurate estimate
would range under the Payne-Aldrich
schedules.
Representative Graner of Texas,
ranking democrat oil the committee,
declared that the rates, considering
the American valuation of provisions,
were higher than those of any tariff
hill since the civil war.

SOLO BY DRUGGISTS EVERYWIEIIC
CONDEMNING EXTRAVAGANCE.
Miss Lolita Armour, daughter of the
millionaire packer, had a much sim
pler wedding the other day than many
girls Who have a hundred times less
money. She condemned the extrava
gance manifested by mnny brides and
said that her wedding trousseau was
made of “left-overs."
This young woman la entitled to
great credit and if wealthy women
generally would take that attitude It
might he possible to make reckless
use of money unpopular. i * •
A great deal of modern expenditure
Is Incited, not by desire to have this
or that, thing that is bougnt at some
extravagant price, but to make a show
of ability to spend without limit.
Meanwhile many wealthy people do
not share that deelre afid live as
simply as those of moderate means.
They help establish the prindple that
extravagance Is coarse and vulgar and
contrary* ta the Interest of the com*
munlty. Some of the new rich folks,
by the wray they sling money around,
appear much liks a greedy boy who
does not know how to eat at the din
ner table.

"That’s just It, Cy—he’s so young

If- "And after all, Cy, dear—he's our

Cy’s attitude remained unchanged at
Jhe appeal In Sa® 's eyes, but ho
,5-tied for his handkerchief and vlgor-
tuxly blow his nose.
"Tile very reason for strict meas
ures,” he countered sternly. "If he
profits by this lesson it will be because
we keep our hands off and let him
tako hlAmcdlcIne like any other—”
He mercifully stopped at the word
"thief beeauso of the anguish In
Sary's eyes.
"Oh, Cy—you'ro hard on t)lm," she
said brokenly.
"It's for Ills own good," he replied,
a trifle less sternly. “But no more
mollycoddling, Sary; let him servhhls
two months like tho rest of them and
bo'll come out with a lessor learned
and a desire to go straight."
“Just this once, Cy," she pleaded,
with a mothor's longing to conjfort her
erring boy.
“No!" ho replied sternly.
Sary's anger flamed to open rebel
lion.
“f am going!" she declared. “He's
my boy and I'd like to see you provent
me! Oh—you’ro cruel and unjust—
and—”’
Her voles broke And she turned to
fling on her coat in the most violent
anger Cy had ever witnessed In their
20 years of married life.
Ho watched her In silence, trying to
think of a way to cope with this un
usual situation.
Sary viciously Jabbed a pin through
her hat and Cy's Inspiration come a*
he noted her determined mouth. Sary's
mouth was Invariably determined
when she expressed an opinion and
Cy was remembering her opinion of
drunkenness, often forcibly expressed.
"Coin', are you?" ho asked grimly as
she picked up the basket.
Her answer was a defiant lift of the
head as she started for the door.
"Walt a moment!”
It was a stern command that Sary
Involuntarily obeyed.
Cy thrust hi* hinds into hla pockets
and delivered his ultimatum:
"If you take that bosket to the Jail,
you'll tee something nobody ever saw
before. You'll see Cy Morrill glori
ously drunk!"
Sary nearly dropped the basket.
"Cy!" she gasped.
He gazed at her grimly, searching
for signs of weakening.
“You—wouldn't—dare—’’
Sary choked with bewilderment at
this chango In her husband's irre
proachable morals.
"Try me!" ho snapped.
Sary's anger returned with a rush.
"You can't bully me with threats, Cy
Morrill. You know what would hap
pen If you came home drunk!"
With thls'partlng shot the went out
and slammed the door.
A suggestion of a smile appeared at
the corners of Cy’s meuth at he gated
meditatively at the doorknob.
Pep, the maltese. came purring and
rubbed against his leg.
"Wouldn't dare, eh?" he said, ab
sently. "We can’t take a dare, can we.
rep?"
By 5 o'clock that afternoon Sary's
anger had quite disappeared and she
anxiously awaited Cy's homecoming.
She had so much to tall him! Their
ion was such a repentant heart-broken
boy! And he had sobbed In hie moth
er’s arms and vowed never again to be
led into such a sorry plight! She
wished Cy would come. Where in the
world could he be staying so long?
Sary hadn’t taken seriously his
arowed Intention to get drunk.
At 6 the table was waiting, as were
Cy's favorite sauce and a pan of de
licious, brown biscuits.
Then Cy came.
He (tumbled through the kitchen
doorway and Sary heard something
that sounded stronger than “drat that
cat!"
She gasped and ran tremblingly to
ward the kitchen.
Cy stood teetering In the middle of
the floor, bis hair rumpled, hla cloth
ing disarranged and dirty, and as she
looked at this terrifying spectacle ho
reeled and fluag hla hat at the cat!
She gasped and clung to the door
frame for support.
He lurched toward her, brushed bar
aside with a mumbled "out ot the way,
woman!” and went upstairs.
He reeked with something. Sary
thought It the fumes of old cider.
, She spent a miserable, shivery eve
ning in-the kitchen. Twice she went
to the foot of the stalre and listened.
Once she thought she beard the mut
tering of her drunken husband.
At 10 o'clock, not daring to go up
stairs, she threw herself on the couch
In the living room and tried to aleep.

It started when Alida, In unaccus

with red-haired Tommy Smith, who
sprang to save her and only succeed

down the whole flight; after which
thrilling experience they proceeded to

To the girl the ccatacy of this was
marred by the agony of Inventing
plausible excuses for not Inviting her
admirer to her home, and she felt to
have Tommy hear Pa eating soup
(which he luslsted on having every
night), or to have him startled by the
siren whistle shrieking through Peter’s
recently acquired subway, would be
simply fatal to any matrimonial inten
tion he might be entertaining.
