...Royal Commission reported cigaret factories in which Indian children aged from six to ten are employed 14 hours a day, seven days a week, at a wage of 4¢ a day, adding, "similar conditions were found to prevail in the mining and wool industries." Adult Indian workers, the Royal Commission ascertained, receive some 37¢ a day unless highly skilled, when they may earn 50 cents...
...this period the President, on the Commission's advice, increased three duties (wire fencing, wire netting and Fourdrinier wire), reduced seven (maple sugar and syrup, straw hats, pigskin leather, edible gelatine, wood flour, wool felt hats), let stand unchanged six (ultramarine blue, wool floor coverings, pipes, pipe bowls, cigar and cigaret holders). The Commission's recommendation to cut the rates on canning tomatoes, tomato paste and cherries, sulphured or in brine, President Hoover rejected. Last week's flexing made the President's tariff score: rates cut, 11; rates upped, 6; rates unchanged, 14; total, 31. There...
...back by the expedition is impressive in both quantity and variety. They were also farmers and herdsmen, and no doubt looked down from their strongholds upon fields of grain and pastures for their cattle, sheep, and swine.

To almost everyone in the company they are "Bob" and "Roy" (Howard particularly feels embarrassment at being "mistered"). Of the two Roy Howard, as everyone knows, is the dyed-in-wool reporter, the scoopster, the man who wants to be where everything is going on-and is. (Last week he returned from a holiday in Havana. Scripps was at his Ridgefield, Conn, estate named "Kinderwall"-"Woods of the Little Children.") Howard is the more inventive; Scripps is the balance wheel that...
Another of TIME'S well received and cheerfully acknowledged mistakes. Page 13, issue of Feb. 9, last column makes reference to J. J. Parker "Hoovercrat." 'Tis not thus. Judge Parker is an iron bound; rock ribbed; dyed in the wool; etc., Republican. Our "Hoovercrat," one of the few left of an 86,000 majority in 1928, is Frank R. McNinch of Charlotte, now on the Federal Power Commission. Both are esteemed citizens...
