While dispatches have been full of the Japanese dieuter nothing has been said about its effect on the Japanese silk industry. it seems certain, however. that large stocks of raw silk have been destroy- ed. my: the Dry Goods Economist. and possibility the silk raising indus- try also has been severely set back.

"The dominant note at Seville," said Mr. Johnson. in a. statement to "Bus Transportation." ,“wns a general, recognition that motor transport» is on a permanent basis sbroed'ss well. as in the United States. and with this in mind. dis- cussion centered on ways and means‘ of giving its use the broadest. pos- ~oible economic application. "Among the resolutions passed were those calling for governmental aid for motor bus lines in the corn- munitlos and countries where inade- quate facilities now exist: the need for uniform traffic rules and regula- tions: for progressive studies into city and rural planning. in order to allay congestion. and for centralized authority in dealing with highway problems. “Other sections dealt. with the physical side at highway construe.- tion and design. including methods of relocatio nand widening 'nlgh- ways. types of maintenance and oth- er engineering problems." In his survey of existing trans- port conditions in Europe. Mr. John- son found that questions of finance. co;ordlnstion of motor and other forms of transport. and that of hen- dling traffic in congested areas are the subject uppermost in the minds of government omcials.

Under the direction of James J.

Dye and Color Tariff - The tariff law provides that. upon all importations of dyes and colors which exceed the standards of strength to be established by the Secretary of the Treasury, the spe. cific duty of seven cents per pound shall be computed on the weight which the article would have it it were to be diluted to the standard strength. It is provided. however. that in no case shall any such article of whatever strength pay I. specific duty of less than seven cents per pound. The law further provides that the standards “shall conform as nearly as practicable to the commercieh strength in ordinary use in the Unit- ed States, prior to July 1. 1919." In the case of a dye introduced into commercial use since that date the standard of strength is to conform as nearly as practicable to the com- mercial strength, in ordinary use. When a. dye is used ordinarily in more than one commercial strength is to be adopted as the strength standard. It will be seen that the establish- ment of such standards must heces: sariiy entail a vast amount of study and research. It is not surprising. therefore, that . only now has the Treasury Department been able to announce completion of the work. The standards proper number 212: but below the name of the dyestun as adopted by the Treasury Dean. meat there are given other neme- commonly applied to the same me.- terlal.
