Opinion by

Keefe, J.

The testimony established that the gourds were naturally dried and the ends, four or five inches from the stems, were sawed therefrom, the pith removed, and imported for use in the manufacture of calabash pipes. On the authority of Anheuser-Busch v. United States (207 U. S. 556) and Quong v. United States (20 C. C. P. A. 192, T. D. 45981) the merchandise was held to be more specifically provided for as a raw or unmanufactured article at 10 percent under paragraph 1558.
