"The duty, 20 pm - cent on shoes, is o large compared with the necessary equating compensatory percentage as not to justify its discussion as a com pensatory rate. Indeed, considering tin t shoe prices have advanced oy R 8 7 per cent and hides by about 20 jvt rout. or. more pointedly, ibat. nice . line prices are now 39 per rent above normal and the prices of hides below normal, it would be much more just to ignore the compensatory ra'c than to make it an argument for granting a 20 per cent duty." All tliis dope on shoes is given here with became everybody wears them. Shoos are one of the things in the taril f bill in which everyone has a right to get interested. It may be that there will soon be just as much fu. s and excitement over shoes as there is about, the sugar duty in crea: c before the tariff fight is over. Farmer Wouldn’t Benefit Some large shoe manufacturers told the senate finance committee that they didn't sec any reason why there should be any duty on either hides or >h<;as. They raid hides were a by product and that the farmer would benefit from the hide duty hardly at all. because the packers bought their animals hides and all and sold hides lor what they can pet. Thus, the hides duty would help the packers ratlin- than the stock raisers. It was also argued, of course, that the higher prices tiie farmer doubtless would have to pay for shoes would much more than offset any increased profits on hi:-, hides. T iio original argument for a duty on •lines was made by J. Franklin McEl wain of Boston, representing the Na tional Boot and Shoe Manufacturers’ association. McElwnin said that 2.- 200.000 pairs of shoes were imported in 1928, worth $8,250,000, and that most of them came from Czecho slovakia. where low wages prevailed. day they arc metropolitan waifs making their precarious way from day to day—for invariably they are the castoffs of poor families and must • hift for themselves—whether their occupation be that of peddling pa pers, shining shoes or shuffling feet. * * m The last word in the ultra modern istic decorative movement, which drifted in from Paris via Vienna and Berlin, is to he found cn the 52nd tlcor of the Clienin building.

Inc.* afe individual as a general rule than the one who nurses a grievance. flangersus Suppression The latter is a form of suppression that is bound to have unhappy results, both for the child and those around him. Its roots are going to spread underground and develop into vari ous forms of emotions far more un desirable than mere anger. Smouldering anger generates re sentment. Resentment grows into hate. And hate will hatch a perfect hell brood of feelings that turn into all sorts of products. A simple little cause for anger In the beginning may therefore become the source of hidden things that will crop out later, in various peculiar acts that will arrange and puzzle his parents completely. I nhappy Memory If such a child suddenly takes a notion to do a spiteful or unkind thing without apparent cause, his parents might, be surprised to know that the real impetus occurred long enough before for everyone else but himself to forget. The worst of it is that he may not be contented with one act to clear the score, but will go on indefinitely—even after he him self may have forgotten the original offense. Of course, all sulks don't end in such extreme vindictiveness. A child would have to be decidedly off the normal center to bear a grudge to such a marked degree in every case. But the effect of all suppressed im pulses on behavior must be recognized. Suppressed Impulses of any sort are bad. but suppressed anger is very bad. There is a difference between sup pressed anger and controlled anger.
