And Mr Wilson is not disposed to refrain from the use of this power if bis Investigations into District meat prices, shortly to begin, reveal that there is a tendency to profiteer on the public in an 'extortionate way. Mr Wilson was today thinking strongly of applying this step to dealers in all sorts of commodities who are defiant of his authority and who persist In charging prices con siderably above what Mr. Wilson and his staff of inspectors deem fair. He has three or four dealers' 'under ob servation at this time and .he will l$t them' run until there Is no doubt in his mind that they should be stopped from selling the public by notifica tion to all wholesale dealers that (heir licenses will be revoked if they sell goods to those under the ban. As a whole Mr. Wilson finds that the Washington storekeeper is try ing to play fair with the public and the Food Administration, but there are a number who have been found charging prices for sugar and other staples that are above what they should be. These men are among those who deliver orders and have-a line of credlt'xnstomers. Meat Prices Alarsaias;. Mr. Wilson has been watching the meat situation for soma time. Wash ington people have been complaining bitterly as to the steadily Increasing prices. Almost the same conditions exist elsewhere, and the investigation to be made here, is part of a nation wide affair being conducted under Food Administrator Hoover. Mr. Wit son will select hi" committee of in vestigation In a day or so, and wilt ask tbe committee to begin Its work promptlv tha he may have tbe facta jefore hint at the earliest possible moment. The attack npon Washington prices has also begun In Congress, Repre sentative Toung of North Dakota having secured the adoption of an amendment to the food production bill for the publication by the bureau of markets of a Washington market news service. "Scandalous." Is the term Mr. Toung applies to meat prices hVre, "Twice as high here for some meats as elsewhere." he avers."' Who Gets the Prefltaf The Investigation of meat prices throughout the country. Including Washington, is expected to settle defl nitely who Is getting the profits and whether they are exorbitant. The packers aie spending thousands of dollars in advertising the claim that the packer nets not over onr-fourtb cent per pound on a steer The re taller Is perfectly willing fpr the public to continue to believe that all the money goes to the packer The public knows that It is being ground between the millstones some where and it is getting impatient for tne exact iacts irom an otnciai sourqe that can be believed. It then wants protection by some method If thre are no existing laws affording this protection then the laws ought to be made That view is the one heard everywhere in the homes of Washing ton and the country at large. , "There Is a closed season for shoot ing rabbits," declared -Washington-lan today, "but the season, for potting , the public Is always open " Mr Wilson would have added fresh meal to his list of published "fair ipnce" long ago. but for the confus ing number of grades and cuts of meats which make it difficult to speci fv what Is "fair" as to a particular ctt of meat This grading of meats opens a great field for camouflaging the public permitting the wide range .of retail prices that are quoted in this CUV Heef. for instance. I rated as ohoie good medium and common. The -atmg is by no means Infallible. What one xpert might rail choice another might term good or medium Mi Wilson had la'ln before him some time ago five specimens of the 'same -ut of steak, sold all tbe way from J -noic to poor The man who brought them in. himself a meat deal-e- willingly admitted that xo far" as appearance went th all looked alike i and that he doubt'ed if tbe taste uould be different when cooked One might rontfttn. more fat. but that did not necesxarily mean it lasted better. In England, it is stated, beef is no longer of man) grades All of It Is beef and the cnts are required to be of a standard kind, so as to pre "nt camouflaging in tht direction.

Best-Dressed Woman in the World." That was the thought that constantly passed through my mind as I watched .the RediCross parade last Saturday. Every woman marched with her face forward, her eyes looking forward, her thoughts forward, with never a backward glance. Then I thought of the processions of women that are passing through Europe today many of, them perhaps at the same moment that these women marched along well-paved streets through throngs of on-lookers who cheered them as they passed and I thought of the dif ference! HERE the women marched full of hope, full of cour age, and full of the love of God and humanity. THERE they straggled along shell-torn roadways, looking backward always toward what had been HOME home, perhaps, for generations of their ancestors. They straggled along hopeless, helpless, almost without faith in God or humanity. Everything they loved and cherish ed had been taken from them except the helpless old peo ple and the little children. Often these women stop to minister to the needs of these loved old people, sometimes even to bury them along the roadside. Sometimes they stop to gently fondle the little children, who lifted mu tilated arms to them the hands are gone cut off for the sheer deviltry of an invading foe. As they went along they listened to the thunderous noises from the nearby battlefield the terrific shriek of shells, the bursting of bombs, the cries of dying and wound ed men. Perhaps that'Cry came from their own loved one, for never is there an able-bodied man in these proces sions the men are on the battlefields. Would to God that they were actively on the battlefields, but many of them lie dead on the battlefields. Then I thought of what must happen when these two processions meet! For they do meet! They meet every time vou give a penny to the Red Cross! These well-dressed women these best-dressed wom en in the world who go forward, who look forward al ways, meet these straggling processions from the bar racked villages of Europe. They bring to these disheart ened, hopeless, helpless people courage, faith in God and humanity, as well as material needs. They comfort the wearv, they feed the hungry, give shelter to the homeless. They go onto the battlefields and give succor to the ding men perhaps the Red Cross nurse sc.t by the money that you give to the Red Cross will hind the wounds of vour own bov you can't tell! Will you let him lie helpless in No Man's Land because you are too selfish to give up one luxury, the price of , which would pav the wav of that Red Cross nurse to his side? Will you refuse to send courage to the helpless peo ples of war-racked Europe 5 CAN you refuse to put food into the mouths of those mutilated little babies over there? A little gift is but a salve to your pride. If vou ear the little Red Cross pin that shows ou have given wear it with a glowing pride with a glorious feeling that tells your inner conscience that vou have ted the hungn. that vou have given succor to the needy, that vou have com forted the dying.
