IltlJY LAYING HENS AND EAT
COKN TO (TT LIVING COST
Speaker Champ Clark Advises This as
Quicker Than Government Remedies
to Combat High Prices.
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.

It is understood that soon after 1
Mr. N'icholls gets here he will call I
upon the postottice department for a f
report of the inspector recently sent \
to Greenville at the request of Mr. t
.\icholls to inquire into the postofhee '
situation and to see whether or not <
Postmaster D. B. Trtixler has been
guilty of "pernicious activity" aa al- <
leged by Mr. N'icholls.
What the nature of this report will
be is not known here yet. It is said
that unless it is entirely satisfactory '
to Mr. N'icholls a first class row may ?
he raised among some of the mem- <
hers of the South Carolina delegation '
in congress. All the information *
that is forthcoming at the postofhee t
departliient is that "Mr. Traxler is t
still postmaster." Further than that i
officials will not discuss the matter, f
Unless Mr. N'icholls has changed his <
ideas since he was in Washington t
about six weeks ago, the whole sit- i
nation will he sifted to the bortom.
