Feeling It up to him to do some-thing gracious. Lieutenant Power i begged ftie Cuban accept his sword t establish relations further. With that P. he whipped out his $10 blade, bought from a department store on the East ;S side of New York, imitating the Cu- - J ban, be stuck the point in the middle- - p of the table, bent it double and It stayed bent! Without a tremor, Lieutenant Power , calmly handed the blade, now bent like a pretzel, to the Cuban, and made him a sweeping bow.

Protection of Wholesalers Against Decline Declared Responsible by Spokesmen of Business In-terests of the Nation. Washington. Partial responsibility for high prices was laid on the trade practice of manufacturers' guarantee against price decline by those who protested against the custom at hear-ings before the federal trade commis-sion on October 5. More than 200 spokesmen for business interests were present to advise with the commission in formulating a policy. The statement that prices would have gone down soon after the armis-tice In many lines had the price guar-antee practice been unknown in com-merce, was brought out in answer to questions by Chairman Murdoek, who asked for opinions on that phase. Without exception opponents of the system declured their belief had been confirmed by breaks in commodities where the practice was not employed. They cited the sugar and silk markets as typical.1 J. A. Goldsmith, representing the Silk Association of America, said the guarantee could be construed in no other light than as a means of main-taining "a generally high level of prices and mitigating against any re-duction which would have followed natural operation of the law of supply and demand." L. F. Boffey of the National Associ-ation of Purchasing Agents, held that no legitimate attack could be made on the guarantee system on ethical grounds as the law established the right of a citizen to employ trade methods of any kind so long as they did not tend to monopoly or discrim-ination.

With streets and houses choker! with filth that Is already spreading spotted and intermittent typhus, the cold weatilier will, finish the task with pneumonia and abdominal typhus. "The fuel situation was never so bad. Wooden houses have been torn down for fuel. The material Is distrib-uted equally among the population, but during the nights the more active citizens steal the quota of wood from others. "The wood yards have been nation-alized. One of them has been given up entirely to the manufacturers of 30,000 coffins monthly. But even this number Is Insufficient.
