NO TARIFF. NO WORK
I Tke lumber and pu'.p Industries of
tha Pacific northwest are facing a
nearly impossible situation - unless
through immediate action congress
comes to their rescue. Tariff walls
have been raised around most of tho
lumber markets of the world outside
,of the United States. Against this
situation we find very slight tariff
protection here against such lumber
producing countries as Russia and
Sweden. The natural result is that
the United States is becoming tha
dumping ground tor cheap lumber,
'lumber said to bo produced largely by
.convict labor in Russia.
! The tragedy of the situation lies in
;the fact that while this same cheap
lumber is being shipped Into, the
; United States only 35.000 men are
finding employment In the lumber In
dustry in the northwest while two
years ago 150.000 heads of families
were thus gainfully employed. Hun
dred:! of mills have been forced to
cloee down entirely while most of the
otners are operating wun a snaaow
crow at wages' that will permit the
workers to have nothing more than
the bare necessities of life.

will allow the railroads an even break in competition with
other systems of transportation.

THE AMERICAN INFLUENCE ,
Motion pictures from Hollywood, mail-order catalogues
from Chicago, and magazines from New York have made
South Americans familiar with North American fashions in
clothes and cars, food and drink, work and play. What the
Latin-Americans like or admire of all this they have adapted
to themselves in their own land.
There is a tradition that native foods never taste well
away from home. Watermelons must he eaten in the South,
beans in lloston, lobsters in Gloucester, oysters in Baltimore,
and pretzels in Pennsylvania. So it is a question if a hot dog
would be so savory away from Coney Island, where the tang
of the sea air gives the proper appetite. Nevertheless, tho
latest importation to be enthusiastically received south of
the Rio Grande is the hot dog.
In Rio de Janeiro frankfurters are becoming extraordinar
ily popular. They are advertised under tho Portuguese equiv
alent ror hot dog and in English also. Like the North
American variety, the Rio brand flourishes in the neighbor
hood of amusement places. One shop in the theatrical dis
trict of the Brazilian city does a land office business, par
ticularly around midnight. This stand sports a sign with a
fox terrier and a yellow dogo give a graphic translation of
the American name.
Here is another contribution to the rapidly growing ac
cumulation of proof that America is "civilizing" the world.

To what degree do pre-natal influ
ences nffect the unborn chlld7
To this very large question fancy
land superstition have given many
answers. But'sctence remains reluct
ant to commit Itself to detailed state-
; merits.
i Many believe thnfc the child In- its
pre-natal state can be affected for
either good or bnd by the mother's
mental and emotional condition.
1 Fear, the craving for odd foods or
' objects. Intensely felt wishes, fright,
: and the like are said to be likely to
injure the child, whereas sweet
thoughts, poetry and music are held
i beneficial.
j Nothing ever has been produced to
. substantiate these beliefs, while on
-the basis of alt that is known about
the physiology of pregnancy, they
: must be rejected as incorrect,
i Emotional states or mental atti
tudes may influence the unborn child,
. but only Indirectly, that Is. only to
" the extent that the mother's own body
and physiology are affected.
Before its birth, the child Is a para
site, living on, as well as within the
body of the mother.
It draws Its oxygen supply from the
, mother's circulatory system, and up
Jon the mother's body Is imposed the
burden of eliminating Its waste pro
jducts. ! Naturally then any condition dis
turbing the mother's physiology 1
likely to affect the growing child,
though it must be noted that nature
appears to give preference to the
, latter.
It has bc?n found possible to re
duce th? size of guinea pigs at birth,
by aa much as 25 per cent through
starving the mother.
1 Among humans overwork and un-
jderfeedinff of mothers reduce the sire
of offspring at birth, and materially

would hurt Colombia's credit for

The fact remains, however, that

them are servicing the debts, but
the payments are not leaving the
