RESPONSIBILITY FOR PRICES
LAID TO TRADE PRACTICE
OF MANUFACTURERS.
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 ut hear
ings before the federal trade commis
sion oil October 5. More than 200
pokesmen for business Interests were
present to advise with the commission
in formulating a policy.
The statement that prices would
have gone down soon after tlie armis
tice in many lines lmd the price guar
antee practice been unknown in com
merce, was brought out in answer to
questions by Chairman Murdock, who
asked for opinions on that phase.
Without exception opponents of the
system deduced their belief had been
confirmed by break's in ' commodities
where the practice was not employed.
They cited the sugar and silk markets
as typical.
J. A. Goldsmith, representing the
Silk Association of America, said the
guarantee could be construed In
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."
i. F. Boffey of the Notional 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.

Paris. — A graphic, eye - witness
description of the fearful condition
existing in Petrograd is given by the
Finnish Red Cross in an appeal Just
Issued to the Red Cross societies of
tlie world. It is accompanied by doc
uments prepared by Professor Zeidler,
formerly head of the Petrograd Red
Cross, but now a refugee in Finland.
The documents, which reached the
aris bureau of American Red Cross
on October 0, tell the story of the
agony of a dying city. Petrograd'
present population, based on the food
cards, is from 500,000 to 600,000, and
the former capital of täte czar is
described as having shrunk to one
fourth its prewar size. The report
says :
"Death stalks on every side, wait
ing for winter to aid in the gritu work
of mowing down the silent, hungry,
sick and dying thousands. With
streets and houses choked with filth
that is already spreading spotted and
Intermittent typhus, the cold weather
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. People have
not time to bury the dead, and the
bodies take their turn, waiting sev
eral days."

by the sum of $14,234.33, und payment
of salaries, supply hills, etc., was
greatly in arrears. The military gov

expenses of tlie government, including
large repayments on the bonded délit,

In the treasury.
"It is expected that the $20,000,000
bonded debt of the country, inherited
by the military government, and due in
1938, will be paid In 1925,
"In addition to these financial re

Former Senator Crane of Massachu

Dalton, Mass.— Winthrop Murray
Crane, former United States senator,
former governor of Massachusetts, a
leading figure for many years in the
Republican party, in the affairs of the
nation, and active head of a great
paper-making Industry, died October
2 at his residence. Sugar Hill, in this
town. He passed from life quietly
and unconsciously in an attack of
sleeping sickness, which followed an
illness of seven weeks, due, accord
ing to his physicians, to eneepholitis,
or inflammation of the brain.
Born in Dalton, Mass., April 23,
1853, the son of Zenas M. Crane, a
paper manufacturer, Senator ' Crane
was educated In the public schools
and at Williston seminary. He never
attended college, hut after leaving
the seminary, entered the paper mills
founded by his grandfather at Dalton
and in them he maintained an Inter
est throughout his life.
An outstanding characteristic of
Senator Crane was the fact that he
attained eminence in public life with
out being an orator. Although he
served eight years in the senate, it
was said of him that he never made
what really could he called a "speech"

American Officer in Havana Was Not
to Be Outdone in Courtesy by
Any Cuban.
MnJ. E. Ormamle Power. United
States army, says the most embarrass
ing moment of his army life was in
Havana when he was a lieutenant. In
1898. The United States had Just
taken control of Cuba and Lieutenant
Power was sent to Havana to sea
ahout taking over some property.
While In a restaurant he saw four Cu
ban officers. Immaculately garbed.
In true Latin manner they rose,
bowed ceremoniously, and invited hin»
to alt at their table.
"Sir." snid <*ne of the officers, ris
ing. "it gives us the honor very dis
j tlngulshed to have an American offi
cer Join ns—to have the valiant Amerl
I cans In control of our country. My
feeling Is so great that 1 beg of you
to give me the honor of accepting my
sword."
With that he whipped out his beau
tiful Toledo blade, made of a steel
the like of which no American ever
possessed. As the young American
awkwardly waited the Cuban stuck
the point of his Toledo blade In the
renter of the table, bent It double,
and as It whipped back into shape gra
ciously handed it to Power.
Feeling It up to him to do some
thing gracious. Lieutenant Power
begged the Cuban accept his sword to
establish relations further. With that
he whipped out his $10 blade, bought
from a department store on the East
side of New York, Imitating the Cu
ban. he stuck the point in the middle
of the table, bent It double—aud It
staved bent!
Without a tremor. Lieutenant Power
calmly hnnded the blade, now bent
like a pretzel, to the Cuban, ami mado
hlm a sweeping bow.—From the Ara

DEMAND FOR HIPPO TEETH
Buyers Flock to Antwerp Four Time*,
a Year to Attend Auction Where
They Are Sold.
T,he chief Ivory market of the world
Is In Antwerp, where buyers from
everywhere assemble four times a year
to attend an auction of this material.
Most of It consists of the tnsks of
African elephants, but considerable
quantities of hippopotamus teeth also
figure In the sales. The latter, at ai»
auction a few weeks ago, brought
prices all the way from thirty-flv*
eents to $5 a pound, according to quali
ty.
A century ago hippopotamus Ivory
was much more valuable than It Is to
day, because It wns the preferred ma
terial for artificial human teeth, being
very dense apd hard. George Wash
ington had a set of teeth made of It.
But nowadays much better ones are
manufactured of porcelain by the mil
lion.
At the recent auction above men
tioned rhinoceros horns brought $13 »
pound. They are Ingeniously carved,
mostly for curios. The horn of th*
rhinoceros, by the way, is one of the
oddities of nature, being composed oT
closely compacted hair.
"Good Angel" Unappreciated.
Many times our best angels are not
appreciated. The very fact that w*
are so accustomed to their ministry
makes them commonplace. Bill wa*
hamly man at a certain college. Hw
didn't get rich on what he did but h*
knew more ubout things than any on*
there. He just naturally took the re
sponsibility for everything. But no
one appreciated him. In fact he be
came something of a joke and every
body took occasion to shove off re
sponsibility on him knowing that h*
could he counted on putting anything
through that he undertook. So they
worked the willing horse until he wa*
picked up by a more appreciative con
cern and the college lost a good angel.
Incidentally I might add, two men amt
a typist are doing the same work.—
