Scientific manufacture is primarily responsible for the long life of Flex-a-Tile This superfine felt is first thoroughly saturated with natural asphalt; then asphalt-coated on both sides. That is why Giant Shingle roofs offer perfect resistance to heat, cold or moisture from above or beneath.

New Bill Would End Hit and Miss Tariff Legislation i Washington, Aug. 12.—Keeping the i tariff up to date is the purpose of an

amendment to the pending tariff bill I proposed by Senator Frelinghaysen. N. J„ and strongly supported by ’ many of his colleagues. Frellnghuysen's amendment would lie believes, obviate the necessity foi i such long tariff dabates us that which i always marks the passage of a ‘per manent" tariff law. The permanency of such laws the records shows, Is usually determined by the permanen ey of one party's control of congress. It is not so much the enactment oi new tariffs that Frelinghuysen would prevent, as the enactment of any tariff bill upon the basis of inexpert con yrossional opinion, aided by the in terested testimony of importers, man ufacturers and producers. “Congress has to deal with too many great public questions for its members to become real experts on things like the tariff, except in the cases of a few men who devote long public careers to that question alone,’ mid Frelinghuysen. “My amendment by creating a tariff commission of ex perts, aided by the best advisers in 'lie country, and empowered not only to investigate the tariff from every ingle, but to compel the production ot bona fide facts and figures regarding costs and profits, would establish it scientific and ally correct basis for tariff changes. “Furthermore, it would keep the tariff ibreast of changing business conditions here and abroad. Nowadays we pass a tariff bill after tre mendous labor, lasting months or even years. That bill may be put out of date over-night by some would event like a war. Our tariff laws are rigid, and we have to go along under them intil the whole thing is revised. "The commission my bill create s in. 1 place of the present tariff commissioi would be euipped in every way to .ecomniend to congress accompanied >y full proofs of its necessity, an> ariff change that conditions required when they required it. In that way American business men and the great mass of consumers would find the ariff their servant rather than theii master.” Under Frelinghuysen's plan, the new tariff commission would be con stantly investigating and keeping ■ibreast of business changes. It would >e required to report to congress at least once every six months, and I would be authorized to report at any time it. deemed a report necessary. , Senator Capper, Kansas and Poin lexter, Washington, are among those strongly in favor of Frelinghuysen's plan. Capper declared it would nark the end of “hit and miss” tariff laws. a . A Perilous Coal Shortage Now (Jrips Nation, Surey Shows “opyright 1922 by the United Press Washington, Aug. 12. -A perilous uel shortage grips the nation, accord ng to a survey by the United Press today. When the government's “coal cen ms” now being taken is completed, t will show a condition calling for rastic action, whatever, the outcome if the coal and rail strikes. The reports to tile United Press revealed supplies: approximately wenty per cent of normal in coal con aiming communities. Should fuel shipments from mines to the principal distributing points be resumed immediately it would be impossible to move coal fast enough to catch up with the demand. Three questions were submitted to newly appointed Fuel Administrators, Governors and Public Service Corn missions of the states. These'concerned: 1. —Supply of fuel on hand compar ed to normal. 2. —Time necessary to catch up, when twin strikes end. 3. —Steps being taken to meet emergency. Representative answers from the principal coal burning states, showed: Pennsylvania—(William D. Dainey, ■hairman state public service committee) —“Not a scuttle of anthracite in state’s reserve supply:” Only twenty days bituminous left. Fuel rationing necessary throughout the winter even if both strikes stop now. Rationing, with railroads given precedence, to start immediately. Missouri —Reserve supply cannot last thirty days. Oklahoma —Only ten percent of normal supply on hand. The state nnnot catch up until spring. Indiana—Supply fifty percent of normal. No hardship threatened if strikes f ettled now. Michigan—Public utilities have twenty days supply instead of normal ninety. Massachusetts—Short 1,630,090 tons of bituminous and 1,130,000 tons of anthracite. Cannot catch up before spring. New York —Dess than one half required supply. State can catch up by November if strikes end this month. Illinois—Four weeks’ Supply, with

half of that in Chicago. Nebraska — Some communities without any coal whatever. Ohio —Supply 25 percent of normal. Georgia, Virginia, Kansas, Wisconsin, lowa, South Dakota and Mon tuna reported serious shortages, - •'armor's Wife Finds Astonishing Belief "For ten long years I had suffered with my stomach, i tried everything without relief, but after one dose of Mayr’s Wonderful Remedy 1 knew I had obtained what 1 hud been looking for and I took the full course of treatment.
