Washington, Nov. 28.?If the high cost of living bothers you, don't wait for government remedies, but buy some laying hens and eat more corn ! products and rice, says Speaker | Clark. Not that he does not think the government can help bring down the price of foodstuffs by legislative or other action, hut he pins greater faith in more direct methods. Thus the speaker expressed himself today on the high cost of living problem, which he regards as one of the greatest facing the nation. Referring to Representative Fitzgerald's embargo bill, he said: ] "There may or may not he a chance for Mr. Fitzgerald's proposed bill. It might do some good; I don't know." i The Speaker declared he will urge (passage this year of a federal law,i probing the killing of veal calves. Such a measure failed at the last session. He also expressed the view that the egg speculators violate the law in holding eggs lor a raise in price. " ji Mr. Clark thinks congress wilt I< have difficulty in passing the 14 large appropriation measures before March 4. even if the Christmas recefes Is abandoned. He stands by his previously announced purpose to op- i pose the recess. t MORE WORK FOR PLANT. Gaflfney Manufacturing Company In crease Output, p Gaffney.
