Both Maker and Retailer is Blamed fPor the High Prices. Lftvt* - "The public will get -garments at ' . * attractive prices only when the rep < * tailers and the manufacturers conm tent themselves with legitimate profits," said Benjamin Schlessinger, president of the International Ladies' * Garment Workers union, in reply yesterday to statements credited to J. M. Gidding & Co., and Franklin Simon & Co., blaming high, prices on . tjie cost of labor. ^ "As recently as two months ago," he continued, "whenever I discussed with manufacturers the possibility of f selling garments at prices more attractive to the public, they always I pointed to the public, they always |f s pointed to the retailers, who, they [ said, almost doubled the manufacK ' . " turers' prices. [ "When I think that in most $75 and $100 garments sold by Franklin Simon & Co. and J. M. Gidding & Co. the labor cost is about $10 or $12 at I most; when I think of the indictment K brought against retail concerns for profiteering in the war, it becomes i quite clear to me who is responsible for the high prices, j "Statements by most reputable 1 manufacturers show that a garment | sold at $40 by the retailer is sold to m him for $28. The cost of labor is I about one-quarter of the wholesale Bp . price, or $7. Reducing the worker's r 5 pay would have little effect on the price to -the public."?New York | World. *************** * * * EXPENSIVE ECONOMY * * * *************** The expense account of the joint committee on economy and consolidation presented and received as information in the senate and iliouse yesterday places the total expenses of conducting the committee's inves-j tigation at $12,619.06, .of which ap-1 proximately 75 per cent, goes to the pay of the investigating staff, composed of Griffenhagen & Associates, Ltd., of Chicago, 111. The committee was appointed under the provision of a concurrent resolution passed in the- closing" hours of the 1921 general assembly, and was charged with "making a survey of the present organization of the state government" with the idea of eliminating excessive overhead charges and at the same time increasing the effectiveness of the state service. Under the terms of the resolution the members of the committee were entitled to receive a per diem of $5 for not exceeding 30 days and "actual traveling expenses while actually engaged in the work of this organization survey." The joint committee was also authorized to employ "such help as may be deemed necessary in the conduct of the said survey," all expenses incurred to be paid from the civil contingent fund. The committee's report in detail follows: , Pay of investigating staff, $9,750. Traveling expenses of investigating staff, $970.17. Stenographic work, $1,061.63. Per diem of members of committee, $230. Traveling expenses ui memucia ui committee, $309.81. Telegraph and telephone, $55.59. Office supplies, $206.86. Pay for porter, $30. Second hand typewriter chair, $5. The committee's report, made public last Sunday, has aroused no little talk throughout the state and considerable opposition in some quarters. Members of the committee are: J. E. Anderson, of Timmonsville, John K.. Hamlin, of Union, and E. T.

Deep is our love and deep our debt to Record, Journal or Gazette. When first I landed on this ball, a bit of flesh wrapped 'round# a squall, it welcomed me with joy and pride my life has never justified. It follows me my whole life through, /with words all kind and mostty true; and even after I am hearsed 'twill tell my best and hide my worst. When in Oshkosh or Wickiup I wander homesick as a pup, or if in foreign lands I roam, it brings me pleasant news of home. Across the sands, across the sea, the old home paper comes to me.

C., Jan. 1.?With $1,200 in currency securely tucked inside her stocking, Mrs. Joe M. Thomas was knocked down and robbed last night at her home near here wihen she went out to see if a chicken house was fastened. . The money had been fhr?ma tn hp used in building uxmv***v ww ? ? ? _ a new dwelling. She had just finished counting it. Bloodhounds failed to pick up any trail. Her husband was shot at when he started to town to get a physician. Climbing. Secretary Hoover said at a banquet: "One difference between Europe and America is that over there ! they like to keep you in your place? I stationary, you know; while here we i like to see a man rise. I "The European idea is pretty well ; illustrated by the remarks of Muggins. Muggins on his return from the I pub'.one Saturday night said to his wife: " T believe in manly pride and reasonable ambition, but when Sergeant Todd with the cork leg takes to carryin' a cane besides, it looks to me as if he was tryin' to climb out of the station what divine providence put him into.' " Fastidious Thieves. Athens?Two burglars who entered the apartment occupied by Marcel Bourriton, a French banker, stole $30,000 worth of jewelry, but left a note calling attention that they had left no cigarette ashes on the rugs and had also smoothed out the cush| ions they sat upon.

M. Stegall, of near here, recently related the following interesting account of her recovery: "I was in a weakened condition. I was sick three years in bed, suffering a great deal of pain, weak, nervous, depressed. I was so weak, T rnnldn't walk Arm** the floor: lust had to lay and my little ones do the work. I was almost dead. I tried every thing I heard of, and a number of doctors. Still I didn't get any relief. I couldn't eat, and slept poorly. I believe if I hadn't heard of and taken Cardui I would have died. I bought six bottles, after a neighbor told me what it did for her. 1 began to eat and sleep, began to gain my strength and am now well and strong. I haven't had any trouble since ... I sure can testify to the good that Cardui did me. I don't think there is a better tonic made and I believe it sat ed my life." For over 40 years, thousands of women have used Cardui successfully,; in the treatment of many womanly ailments. If yon suffer as these women didt take Cardui It may help you, too.
