AP) The senate finance com mittee republicans today complet ed rewriting of the house tariff bill's rate sections by approving a reduction of 2.20 cents a pound in the house levy of 2.40 cents on Cuban raw sugar. The 2.20 cent rate, adopted by a vOte of 7 to 4, represents an in crease of forty-four hundredths of a cen tover the existing duty of 1.76 cents against Cuban sugar, but a decrease of twenty hun dredths of a cent from that pro posed by the house. A proposal to restrict the duty free importation of sugar from the Philippines was rejected. The vote on this was not announced, but it was reporter as around 9 to 2. The vote on the sugar rates came after a motion by Senajtor Shortridge of California to adopt the house rates was turned down, 9 to 2, Senator Bingham of Con necticut, voting with the Califorr nia senator for the h'gher house duties. The sugar tariff against other countries, or what is known as the world rate, was fixed at 2.75 cents a pound as against three cents in the bill and 2.20 cents under existing law. Cuba is al lowed a 20 per cent reduction in duty by treaty, so the finance group's Cuban duty, if finally en acted, would be' the same as the present world rate on raw sugar. After approving some increases and one reduction in other items of thehouse sugar schedule, the republican committeemen rejected a dozen or more of amendments which senators had announced an intention to offer on the floor, in cluding the Norris export deben ture proposal in the gass stock sale tax amendment. Strenuous efforts, however, are expected to be made on the floor for both the debenture and stock tax proposals, the former being designed to make the tariff effec tive on surplus agricultural com modities and the latter being aimed at stock gambling. The senate twice voted the de benture into the farm relief bill by a margin of three votes over President Hoover's protest, but an overwhelming rejection of the proposal by the house led to its ultimate defeat. The explanation for its disap proval today by the republican committeemen was that it had no place in a tariff bill. The same explanation was given for the turning down of the stock tax amendment.

Luther Stout. majority committeemen Chairmen Smoot Issued a statement declar ing the sugar duties agreed upon would mean an increase in con sumer's costs of about 22 cents per person per year and asserting they would "permit the sugar in dustry of the United States to live with a small profit." The chair man was among those voting for the 2.20- Cuban rate. Stephen H. Love, president of the United States beet sugar asso ciation, in a statement, however, said rejection of the house rates meant that the domestic industry would be "gravely retarded." He served notice that the sugar pro ducers would continue their fight for the 2.40 cent duty. The sugar schedule as now writ ten would begin with a rate of 1.5425 cents a pound on sugar testing not over 75 sugar degrees and add an additional 575 ten thousandths of a cent for each ad ditional susrar degree up1 to 100 degrees, with providing a divi dent line at 96 degrees for raws as at present or 94 degrees as in the house bill. By this method the rate ap proved today on 100 degree re fined sugar would be 2.34 cents a pound against 1.91 cents In the existing law and 2.80 cents in the house bill. IS FINE YEAR The J. C.

Bulgaria (AP) Bulgaria Is the only coun try in Europe where the girls still blush.- This remark was made recent ly by Charles C. Vickery, promin ent American church official, aft er he had visited every country in Europe and had then made a tour of Bulgaria. He added that he would like to send his daugh ters to Bulgaria to be brought up. This opinion -of the Bulgarian girls was well founded, for mod esty is one of their principal traits. A girl over here is more inclined to hide her beauty than to en hance or display it. The masses of women and girls in Bulgaria have remained un contaminated by the practices of the modern feminine world In the direction o f bobbed hair, ultra short skirts, shaved eye-brows, rouged lips, and other conceits. The Bulgarian girl depends sole ly upon nature, good health and active outdoor life to impart phy sical charms and beauty to her person. From earliest youth the Bulgar ian girl is taught that she must pot be forward. Restraint and fi delity are always expected of her. As a baby, if she is of peasant parents, she is carried to the field on her mother's back and hung in a hammock under a tree. Later she goes to the field with her mother to tend some baby brother or sister hanging under the tree. Still later she goes with her mother and other girls to hoe and to harvest. During these years as she is growing up, she does not go walk- party. Is acquainted with the coun try and will be able to give point efs as to its formation. Many of the peaks of the Cascade range can be seen from High Deck where a forest service lookout is located. BUDGET DRIVE Shortly after September 1, the Boy Scout council for the Cascade area will hold its annual budget drive according to O. P. West, scout executive under scout plans the campaign is directed by the executive council of the scout or ganization of which Judge Harry Belt is president and Sam Laugh lin, treasurer. This year a budget of $5500 will be raised to handle the work of scouting for the next year in this district. In 1928 the bulk of the contributions came from towns adjacent to Salem but un der an agreement made these towns last year, in 1929 the heavi est part of the contributions must come from this city. Tourist Hotel Construction To Start Soon Engineers representing the Highway Communities, Inc., have just completed the setting of stakes to locate the building of the new tourist hotel on South Commercial street. The land was purchased from the Ohmarts sev eral months ago. A Richfield il luminated sign wa. erected but nothing further was done for some weeks. The development will include a tourist hotel and modern service station. It will be a month before construction work starts. Located at the crest of the hill on sonth Commercial the site commands a wide view over the city and surrounding country. Road Completed From Silverton Toward Monitor Completion of all new grading workon the road development be tween Silverton and Monitor has just been completed according to Frank Johnson, deputy road mas ter. New construction extends for about three and one-half miles out from Silverton to a point where the paving already laid Is met. Graveling on the new road will be handled by Charles Hoyt from the Fred Womack place, two and I one-half miles from Silverton. SCOUTS PUU1ED in? or riding with boys, but meets them in the fields while at work. Groups of boys and groups of girts sing folk songs back and forth to each other on the field in the form of challenges and response;. Maidens and youths meet at husking bees, also, under parents' eyes, and on holidays they dance together In the village square. But the dances are just long circular lines of skipping people holding hands, with the boys at one end of the line and the girls at the other. The one place of real romance is the village fountain or well, where the girls gather to fill their water jugs. The boys also collect there, and if a girl gives a boy her jug to drink- from, that means that he's her boy and all the village) knows it. That is the ultimate ex-1 pression of romantic affection, j That's as near as the village youth i comes to petting. However, that boy will not "pop" the question to that girl. He will go home and tell his father that he wants Marika, and then hts father will see a neighbor, who will go over to see Marika's father and ask what le would think of giving his daughter to a certain boy, and what the dowry would be. If the response Is favorable the two fathers meet and arrange matters, and a day or two later they call in a priest to officiate at the engagement of the young people. And the betrothal is as permanent as a marriage. In this land, where there are few divorces, broken engagements are very rare. Stern fathers and mothers school ed In century-old traditions insist on fidelity. GRAND JURY TAKES The grand jury, in session all this week, will be on a shorVvVa- cation today and over the wee end, reconvening Monday morn ing to continue with the 19 cases which are coming up for investi gation.
