'HIGH COST OF
SHOES CAUSES
INVESTIGATION
Washington, Tuesday Hides and
leather today were added to the list of
necessities under investigation by the
Federal Trade Commission to deter
mine why the price of shoes Is "ex
ceedingly high" while unusually large
stocks of raw materials are alleged to
be held In storage.
Inquiry Is to be made promptly- to
ascertain the reasonableness .of ' the
profits being made by all persons han
dling leather articles. It Is expected
that Investigation will commence at
the source and, after threshing out
the prices received by the packers for
the raw hides, will go Into the ex
penses of tanning, manufacture and
even distribution.
Information obtained by the com
mission's investigators in obtaining
data on which government contracts
are based is said to have been respon
sible for the decision to make official
record of all the details of the hide
and leather industry. -i
Exceedingly High Prices
I Indication that the commission also
may have obtained information per
sonally on the cost of shoes was seen
in the resolution authorizing the in
vestigation, which recited that It "had
been common experience that exceed
ingly high prices are now charged."
i Commissioner Joseph B. Davies;
who is in charge of the meat packing
investigation, will direct the hide and
leather inquiry, which will be inde
pendent of other inquries touching
the same materials. The commls
, sion's resolution says:
I "Where as it is common experience
; that exceedingly high prices are now
j charged for shoes, which are a prinu
! necessity of life, and for leather pro
I ducts generally; and,
j "Whereas it is alleged that unusu
i ally large stocks of hides and of leath
j er are now on hand, and that tan-
neries, leather factories and shoe fac.
jtorles are operating far short of their
capacity; and.
In Public Interest
'Where as It is In ne public inter
est to promptly ascertain the fact as
to the reasonableness of the present
prices of hides, leather, shoes and
I other important leather products, and
i as to the reasonableness of the profit
' being 1 made in their production and
i distribution:
"Resolved, That the Federal Trade
i Commission make an investigation of
the above matter, not duplicating the
; data already being gathered In con
! nection with the meat Investigation
j and not duplicating any data being
gathered by the War Trade Board or
other departments of the govern
ment: j "That the necessary additional force
be employed to promptly carry on this
work:
1 "That necessary arrangements be
' made with the President for funds to
meet the expenses of this investiga
tion; and,
I ' "That the Advisory Economic Board
be directed to promptly submit a plan
and estimate of expense and recom
mendations as to men for this investigation."

WARS AGAINST
RELAXATION OF
CHILD LABOR LAW
Washington ,Jan. 2 The increasing
necessity for maintaining standards of
child welfare during war time was
referred today by the Children's
Bureau in a New ' Tear's warning,
calling the attention of American citi
zens to the disastrous effects of ex
emptions from child labor regulations
in foreign countries.
"Foreign experience shows that
countries which have permitted spe
cial exemptions from child labor
stands," the statement says, "have
almost with one accord regretted them
as both injurious to the children and
Inefficient as regards industrial re
sults. The immediate penalty has been
a swelling stream of child offenders
pouring through the courts.
"Protection of babies and little
children, and of their mothers a
first, essential in war time to replace
the. wastage of human life on the bat
tlefielddemands local provision for
adequate nursing and medical care.
Federal protection not being available
as yet, the full burden rests with each
State and community. SI ortage and
high prices of milk in many communi
ties also Is a matter of grave concern.
"Upon each community also must
lie the responsibility for seeing that
mothers are not driven by want to
leave their children and go to work.
The father's wages must keep pace
with the high prices, and if he is
called to the army and the family's
separation allowance is inadequate the
community cannot afford to shift to
the mother the burden of supplement
ing this allowance. Also for the
widows of civilians and their children
if the State provides no mother's pen
sion the mother's work is a costly sub
stitute.
"Neither must the burden of sup
port nor the pressure of demand for
labor be allowed to rest upon the chil
dren themselves. The Children's
Bureau during the New Tear will
systematize further Its enforcement of
the Federal Child Labor lawi but
school attendance requirements and
many forms of child labor are not in
cluded In this law, and the bureau
urges the importance of maintaining
in each State the highest standards of
training and of protection."
U. S. COMMISSION
WILL INVESTIGATE
PRICES OF SHOES
Washington. Jan. - 2. Hides and
leather today were added to the list
of necessities under investigation by
the federal trade commission to de
termine why the price of shoes is
"exceedingly high" while unusually
large stocks of raw materials are al
leged to be held in storage.
Inquiry is to be made promptly to
ascertain the reasonableness of the
profits made by all persons handling
leather articles. It is expected that-
investigation will commence at the
source and after threshing out the
prices received "by the packers for the
raw hides, will go into the expenses of
tanning, manufacture and even distribution.

TODAY'S ANNIVERSARY
There was a time when appendicitis
was quite a fashionable disease. In
some parts of Europe it was known
as the "American disease." The first
operation for appendicitis was per
formed at St. Luke's hospital, Denver,
Colo., thirty-three years ago in Jan
uary, 1885. A young woman residing
in Davenport, la., had the distinction
of being tha first person to have the
troublesome vermiform appendix re
moved. The operation, necessarily,
was in the nature of an experiment,
and the patient was so informed, but
she pluckily declared her willingness
to submit to the knife, as a last re
sort. It was not until about two years
later that another operation of htis
kind was performed. Since then thou
sands of such operations have been
performed in every hospital in the
world. Although the first patient was
a woman, subsequent investigations
have shown that the disease is much
more likely to afflict males than fe-
