SPEAKER: In compliance with the provisions of section 703 of the act of Congress approved September 8, 1916, "to increase the revenue, and for other purposes," I transmit here­ with a copy of the Eighth Annual Report of the United States Tariff Commission. Very truly yours, THOMAS 0. MARVIN, Chairman. Hon. FREDERICK H. GILLETT, Speaker of the House of Representatives, Washington, D. C. v EIGHTH ANNUAL REPORT OF THE UNITED STATES TARIFF COMMISSION WASHINGTON, D. C., December 1, 1924. To the Congress: The United States Tariff Commission begs to submit herewith its eighth annual report, for the fiscal year 1923-24. PERSONNEL During the year the commission's membership has remained un­ changed. On ,January 15, 1924, in accordance with the provisions of the law requiring annual designation by the President, Commis­ sioner Marvin was again appointed chairman and Commissioner Culbertson vice chairman for the ensuing year.. PROVISO AFFECTING COMMISSION'S APPROPRIATION The Congress, in the independent offices appropriation act of 1924, attached a proviso to the provision for the commission's appropria­ tion, which will be found in the appendix. The proviso forbade the application of any part of the commission's appropriation to the salary of any member of the commission, parcicipating after its adop­ tion in any proceedings under sections 315, 316, 317, and 318 of the tariff act of 1922, wherein he or any member of his family has any special, direct, and pecuniary interest, or in respect to the subject matter of which he has acted as attorney, legislative agent, or special reprooentative. The commission requested the opinion of the Comptroller General on the effect of this proviso. His opinion, rendered on July 11, 1924, will be found in the appendix. I. THE ORGANIZATION OF THE TARIFF COMMISSION Prior to the passage of the tariff act of 1922 the functions of the commission were primarily to investigate tariff problems for the purpose of providing the President and the Congress with informa­ tion with respect to the industry and commerce of the United States in their relation to the customs laws of the United States. These functions were enlarged by sections 315, 316, 317, and 318 of the tariff act of 1922. (1) PRINCIPAL OFFICE The act creating the Tariff Commission (September 8, 1916, 39, 756, 795, ch. 463, Stat., secs. 700 to 709) provides that the principal office of the commission shall be in the city of Washington. 1 2 EIGHTH ANNUAL REPORT OF THE TARIFF COMMISSION Following the enactment of the special provisions of the tariff act of 192~ ~nd the granting of increased appropriations for its work, the comm1ss1oi;i m.ade some changes in its general plan of organization. ~he orgamzat1on of the techmcal staff as at present constituted con­ sists of the

HISTORIC FURNISHINGS ASSESSMENT Ford Mansion and Wic·k House Morristown National Historical Park Morristown, New Jersey by Laurel A. Racine Senior Curator ..J Northeast Museum Services Center National Park Service December 2003 Introduction Morristown National Historical Park has two furnished historic houses: The Ford Mansion, otherwise known as Washington's Headquarters, at the edge of Morristown proper, and the Wick House in Jockey Hollow about six miles south. The following report is a Historic Furnishings Assessment based on a one-week site visit (November 2001) to Morristown National Historical Park (MORR) and a review of the available resources including National Park Service (NPS) reports, manuscript collections, photographs, relevant secondary sources, and other paper-based materials. The goal of the assessment is to identify avenues for making the Ford Mansion and Wick House more accurate and compelling installations in order to increase the public's understanding of the historic events that took place there. The assessment begins with overall issues at the park including staffing, interpretation, and a potential new exhibition on historic preservation at the Museum. The assessment then addresses the houses individually. For each house the researcher briefly outlines the history of the site, discusses previous research and planning efforts, analyzes the history of room use and furnishings, describes current use and conditions, indicates extant research materials, outlines treatment options, lists the sources consulted, and recommends sourc.es for future consultation.

Published February, 1919. J. S. Gushing Co. — Berwick & Smith Co. Norwood, Mass., U.S.A. ; 155688 PREFACE This book has been written primarily to meet a need arising from the introduction of the study of textiles into the curriculum of the high school. The aim has been, there- fore, to present the subject matter in a form sufficiently simple and interesting to be grasped readily by the high school student, without sacrificing essential facts. It has not seemed desirable to explain in detail the mechanism of the various machines used in modern textile industries, but rather to show the student that the fundamental principles of textile manufacture found in the simple machines of primitive times are unchanged in the highl}^ developed and complicated machinerj^ of to-day. Minor emphasis has been given to certain necessarily technical paragraphs by printing these in type of a smaller size than that used for the body of the text.

  • Bedford Cord Sampler No 2 EXPERIMENTING with FIBRE YARN
    Bedford Cord Sampler No 2 EXPERIMENTING WITH FIBRE YARN AND SETT. This sample blanket is designed to develop warp sections 1,2 and 5 of the original Bedford Cord sample blanket. I rummaged through my yarn store and picked out mainly white yarns of different fibre. They were not particularly of the same weight, but none were very thick or very thin. I found the following yarns in my store: • 2/24’s Worsted Wool • A fine wool boucle of unknown count (approx 4250 yards per lb). • 16/2 Matt Cotton • 12/1 Linen • 1200/2 Rayon • 20/2 Silk I used these yarns to make a warp. I used a 10’s Reed, with 4 ends per dent giving an overall sett of 40 ends per inch, in warp sections 1 & 2. Warp section 3 was crammed and spaced in the reed. The overall sett of that section was 20 ends per inch, but each individual warp section was actually sett at 50 ends per inch. Width in loom of the whole sampler was about 11.5 inches. There are 398 ends in the warp, needing 100 heddles on each shaft I warped about 2.5 yards in length.
