Robert A. Taft, son of the Presi- 
dent, and Charles EK. Hughes, son of 
the ex-Governor and present justice 
of the Supreme Court, both of 
Washington, were two of the four 
recipients of the Sears prizes of $375 
each that were announced Wednes- 
day by the faculty of Harvard 
University for students of distine- 
tion in the law school. J. G. Bu- 
echanan of Pittsburg and F. S. 
Wyner of Dorchester were the other 
two men to receive the awards for 
particular brilliancy in law study. 
The Sears prizes are from a _ fund 
founded in 1909 by Mrs. S. C. Sears, 
in memory of her son, J. M. Sears, 
Jr., ’00, a graduate of the law 
school. They are to be awarded ac- 
cording to the deed of gift to ‘‘the 
students of the law school who shall 
have done the most brilliant work 
in classes.’’

Mr. and Mrs. Amory Eliot and 
Miss Rosamond Eliot are spending 
a fortnight in New York. They 
motored to the metropolis from Man- 
chester, where they are late so- 
journers. Their visit to the metrop- 
olis was marred somewhat, however, 
by the news from Washington of in- 
juries to Samuel Eliot, Mr. and Mrs. 
Eliot’s son, who is a secretary to 
Asst. U. S. Treasurer A. Piatt An- 
drew. Young Eliot, while horse- 
back riding, was thrown from his 
mount. His injuries were fortu- 
nately not so severe as first believed. 
Mr. Eliot hastened from New York 
to Washington on receipt of the 
news of his son’s accident.

Importance of Proper Description 
of Merchandise Offered for 
Exportation 
Exporters, manufacturers prepar- 
ing material for exportation, and 
transportation companies carrying 
merchandise of this character will 
be interested in a circular just issued 
by the Bureau of Statistics, Depart- 
ment of Commerce and Labor. It 
calls the attention of persons for- 
warding merchandise from the inter- 
ior for exportation at the seaboard 
or border ports to the importance of 
accompanying the same with a 
proper and detailed description. 
The official ‘‘Export manifest’’ sup- 
plied to the collector of customs by 
the export agent or other person at 
the port at which the merchandise 
leaves the country is necessarily the 
sole reliance of the collector of cus- 
toms for the description which he 
forwards to the Bureau of Statisties, | 
and upon which that Bureau must 
base the information which it gives 
to the public regarding the charac- 
ter of merchandise exported. Thou- 
sands of copies of this circular are 
being distributed to exporters, a 
large proportion of them being for- 
warded by the transportation com- 
panies and export agents. It is the 
desire of the Bureau of Statistics 
that all persons engaged in or con- 
templating entering the export trade 
should carefully study and comply 
with the law and regulations gov- 
erning the description of exports. 
The importance of a thorough un- 
derstanding of this subject is illus- 
trated by the following extracts 
from the laws and_ regulations 
quoted by the cireular letter in ques- 
tion: 
‘‘Before a clearance shall be 
granted for any vessel bound to a 
foreign place (or noncontiguous 
territory of the United States) the 
harvest. Quantities of apples have 
been raised in the orchards, suffi- 
cient to generously divide among the 
immediate family and to be sent, as 
is the annual custom, to various 
charitable institutions throughout 
Boston. This is one of very many 
philanthropies unostentatiously car- 
ried on by this esteemed North 
Shore family.
