Women do 90 per cent. of the retail buying in this country. Women com- plain of the present high prices. Yet a woman goes into a store and if • a pair of shoes on one counter is mark- ed twelve dollars, and a pair in a less conspicuous place, but identically like them, is marked nine dollars, she will look at both—and take the more ex- pensive pair. This is not an unwarranted charge against the women; it ice_ fact, found- ed on investigations made by Miss Edith Strauss, director of women's ac- tivities, High Cost of Living, Depart- ment of Justice, in Washington. She declares it hard to co-operate toward lowering prices when people will not buy cheap things, but insist on get- ting the article that is higher priced. This has been demonstrated tri Miss Strauss by the merchants in a number of ways. Miss Strauss estimates that women do 30 per cent. of the buy- ing, and she is directing her cam- paign particularly to them• First as to rampant extravagance— data obtained from retailers: "Retail merchanst have come to me," said Miss Strauss, "and said, I"How can we co-operate when people i will not buy the cheap things but in- sist on having the best that money can get?" I was told of a shoe fact- ory which formerly made working- men's shoes exclusively but has prac- tically discontinued that line because there was -no market for soch shoes, and is now turning out fancy high- grade footwear for the same trade: "A merchant in New York was try- ing to sell women's coats—a certain lot he had at $35. They were fash- ionably made and a good value. He wondered why they would not go and asked a travelling salesman if he thought the reason was that they did not have fur collars and cuffs. The answer made was that the merchant had the coats marked too low; he was advised to put them at 55 and see what would happen. He adpted the suggestion and had notrouble in sell- ing the coats at the fancy figure. "A Kansas merchant who desired to co-operate in our campaign to in- crease the buying of necessities by making prices more attractive and thus reduce the call for luxuries, marked up his silk stockings 25 per cent. and marked down the cotton hose 20 per cent. In spite of this he could not meet the demand for Alk stockings, while the cotton hosiery went begging. q Three million dollars for a phonojraph! That's what it cost to perfect the only instrument that RE-CREATES music so faithfully that no one can tell whether it is the living artist he hears or the phonograph -- when one is heard in direct comparison with the other.

G. Armstrong, - Lucknow. ti ti -_ _- •1 ts•�I.�� "A test of extrrbagant tendetaciel was made in 8oaton by a shoe man.. He was offering his shoes at a narrow margin .of profit—comparatively speaking. Sales dragged. Two shoe- deelers on opposite sides of the street were selected for the experiment that wax decided upon. They were clone together, one of them occupied by the men referred to. Forty pairs of shoes of the same style aid wholesale price were picked out. Twenty of them marked at $14 a pair, were put in the shoe window of one of the stores and twenty marked at $9 a pair in the shoe window of the other store. Most of the shoes at $14 a pair were sold before a single pair of the -same shoes, at $9 a pair had been disposed of "This tendency to -extravagance,' in' which,' of coursee, many take no part, has been aggravagated by the- chang- ed .attitude of numerous wealthy peo- p1e.••,During the war they set an ex- ample of economy, avoiding any dis- play of fine apparel, and wearing old clothes. But these self-imposed re- strictions were cast off when the war ended. Dr. Henry Van Dyke, in a let- ter to me on the work we are under-..„ taking, says: "The display of extra- vagance in dress, which may be seen In: call, •ourgreat citi.��, Is ' not, -only au exhibition ' of .folly, but a1,-;0 a direct incitement to envy and unrest among the poor. The • latter, however, show that their objection to this kind of dis- play is not truly philosophical.by imi- tating it themselves -as soon as they get a little money.' "It would be a great help incheck- ing extravagance if the rich would set the example they followed during the war. There is just as much need of this sort of thing now as there was when the fighting was gonig on." • Second from the manufacturers' side —data dealing with wages and hours: "Most of the manufacturers," said Miss Strauss, "make the same report, which is to the effect that there is no chance of any real reduction in the price of manufactured articles so long as demands for higher wages' , and shorter hours continue, because the cost of labor bears such a large part n the ,cost of manufacture. Reports are that wages are going up, that ours are being shortened and that. ef- ciency is falling off. One manufact- urer said that reducing a fifty -hour week to forty-eight hours in his plant nvolved a loss in output for the year quivalent to stopping 8,000 looms apable of turning off over 40,000,000 ards in twelve months." Third, from the customers' side =— ata obtained from women's orgarri- ations: "We are preaching to the women hat the consumer's responsibility in educing the cost of living is practi- ally on their shoulders. Nine out of en retail buyers are women, and the ne •immediate opportunity to bring rices down is by lessening demand, nd by close and only necessary buy - g. There is no immediate chance at increased production will bring rices down appreciably. With the any labor troubles, we need not ex- ct soon any notable gain in produc- fi t e c y d z t r c 0 p a in th p m Pe tion, and if peace between labor and capital is obtained, it will probably be a year before the shortage in supplies in the world will be overtaken, if then. "To this appeal we are receiving encouraging responses. We have tak- en our campaign to 10,000 federal wo- men's clubs, representing 2,000,000 women, and to 10.875 independent wo- men's clubs, representing more than 1,000,000. We want to reach every woman in America. A double appeal - is made to them; first., to center on necessities, and then to report any ex- orbitant charge by local merchants. Such reports, however, should be made, not to us here in Washington, but to the local Fair Price Commis- sioner. A Department of Justice of- ficial will at once in vestigate and the accused will face a penalty of one year's imprisonment, or a $5,00l fine. We are just starting in, but 300 ar- rests have been made, and out of eight cases brought to trial all were found guilty. "in committees where the Fair Price Committees are active, reduc- tions in prices have been effected. In Baltimore, out of 115 commodities there has been a drop from 2 to 35 per cent. in 113 of them; the reamin- ing two showed a slight increase. "Here is an instance of women join- ing in the appeal to practice the clos- est economy. In Denver a large amount of meat was in storage; it was nutritious, but consisted chiefly of the cheaper cuts. The- dealers said there was no use putting it on the market; that the people would riot buy low grade meet. The United States District Attorney insisted, and 25,000 pounds were sold at the first marketing. There were two effects. The higher priced meat came down, and values in the cheaper cuts were shown in demonstration clasuaes. The effect of these sales was a reduction in the price of meat ifl Denver. "The rational Retail Dry Goods As- sociation, at a meeting held recently, agreed to co-operate with us in dir- ecting attention to necessities in con- trast to luxuries, Pieces will b. set siloe in their stOlei for the display of articles plain but substantial at reit. sonable prices—things that will ap- peal to the buying public. This plan in itself, widely adopted in the stores of the country will have the effect of turning the attention from tuxurits to i, ecessities, to feature in their show Windows a complete outfit of clothing suits, shoes, hats, underwear, that could he bought for $100, plain but substantial. This is to be done for both. men and women - "What we have had is a wave of ex- travagance. The ideal was extrava- gance. What we need is a similar movement for economy, with the ideal of economy, as the first necessity in the change, taking the place of" the meal of extravagance. I think wom- en more than men were. responsible for the heavy -spending period, and through them I expe"t the change in attitude to be brought about." o o Go 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 DISTRICT NEWS 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 Farmers of Goderich Township ere taking steps to obtain a supply of electric current from the Hydro Elec- tris Comm iS4ion.

At least two boys in their teens were able to get information up town that liquor could be got at th}eAinsley house and on calling at the house were able to buy a bottle. It cost them $5 and at that it was only half-and-half whiskey and water. The boys got un- der the influence and started things on the street which led to their arrest by Constable Fellow and that led to the discovery of where they got the liquor. $120 and costs was piled up on Police Magistrate Reid's desk on Wednesday afternoon after the matter was venti- lated and there are other charges pending. Of this sum Matthew Ainsley contributed a fine of $100 and $5 costs for selling liquor contrary to the pro- visions of the Canada Temperance Act and there is another charge pending against him that of attempting to se- cure perjury the evidence of the boys berg that he asked them to testify that they had not paid anything for the liquor. There is also a charge pending against Mr. Shields for sel- ling liquor it being he from'whom the boys got hte information that liquor was to be had and one of Aimsley's statements was that Shields had pre- pared the bottle the boys got. The boys were fined 110 each and costs. No other course was open to the mag- istrate. They had pleaded guilty to being intoxicated in apuhlic place. The young men were Arthur Currey and A. Leonard.
