HOW WOMEN DISCOURAGE
ECONOM Y
(Francis L. Garside in henry Ford's
Paper.)
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.

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. Add to that three
millon dollars, Thomas A. Edison's genius, his vast
knowledge and his indoitable will and you realize
how much was required to make

"Now go ahead and build replicas," said Mr.
Edison to his staff when he had finally achieved an
instrument which would meet the tone test.- "Call
it the Official laboratory Model and uphold the
standards I have set to the last detail."

display here—come in and hear it.

"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-

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

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."

Shields did not have it all for personal
use. 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

much satisfaction. A Ford car was

Chains on these wheels allow them
to take a good hold on the road and
no power is lost.. The motor sleigh
