creased in proportion for any
greater strength than the strength
of first proof, and all imitations
of brandy, spirits, or wines im-
ported by any names whatever
shall be subject to the highest
rate of duty provided for the gen-
uine articles respectively in-
tended to be represented i7 and

There shall be no constructive or

other allowance for breakage,
leakage, or damage on wines,
liquors, cordials, or distilled
spirits, except that when it shall
appear to the collector of customs
from the gauger's return, verified
by an affidavit by the importer
to be filed within five days after
the delivery of the merchandise,
that a cask or package has been
broken or otherwise injured in
transit from a foreign port and as
a result thereof a part of its con-
tents, amounting to 10 per cent
or more of the total value of the
contents of the said cask or pack-
age in its condition as exported,
has been lost, allowance therefor
may be made in the liquidation

of the duties.
No wines, spirits, or other liquors

or articles provided for in this
schedule containing 12 per cent
or more of alcohol shall be im-
ported or permitted entry except
on a permit issued therefor by the
Commissioner of Internal Rev.
enue (act of 1922, prohibition act
of 1930) and any such wines,
spirits, or other liquors or articles
imported or brought into the
United States without a permit
shall be seized and forfeited in the
same manner as for other viola-
tions of the customs laws: Pro-
vided, That high-proof fruit
spirits made in distilleries con-
nected with wineries for use in
the fortification of wines, may
also be withdrawn and used,
under the same laws and regu-
lations applicable to the with-
drawal and use of alcohol for all

nonbeverage purposes. 19
The Secretary of the Treasury is

hereby authorized and directed to
make all rules and regulations
necessary for the enforcement of
the provisions of this schedule.

The emergency tariff act of. 1921 imposed 7 cents per pound in addition to the rates of duty imposed thereon by the act of 1913, on manufactures of which cotton having a staple of 138 inches or more in length was the component material of chief value.

3 In the act of 1913 no distinction was made between single and plied yarns, but yarns mercerized were dutiable at the rates applicable to yarns bleached, dyed, colored, or combed.
