New York.?The campaign against
the high cost of living entered another
stage today when the presid?
nts of nearly a score of retail gro
eery associations nad representatives
of several delicatessen associations
met with Joseph Hurtigan,
commissioner of weights and measureand
secretary of Mayor Milchel's
food committee, to consider
radical measures. Mr. Hartigan was
prepared to place before the representatives
statistics relative to foodstuffs
and to the mehtods of the socalled
cold storage trust.
A series of boycotts on poultry,
butter and other foodstuffs similar
to that now in force on eggs is proposed,
the butter boycott to begin
December 12 when the egg ban will
have run two weeks. Whether the
latter will continue or not after that
depends, it was said, upon the price
at which eggs are selling then. The
wholesale price of eggs has dropped
from three to four cents a dozen 01.
all grades since the inception of the
boycott.
Boycott Successful.
"The egg boycott while not at itt
Hniirht VPf ic crri l nni rr rrvr\n?>/-l '
?--- ~ 8'?UI?1 iaai,.
declared Commissioner Hartigan. "It
is proving an effective weapon to decrease
demand and lower prices. It
helps to stabilize prices. It promotes
economy in the use of eggs and it
contributes in the stoppage of
waste."
Commissioner Hartigan declared
that a national cold storage law was
needed to protect consumers against
abuses in the marketnig of perishable
foods.
I Reports from various cities today
are to the effect that thousands of
turkeys were left in the hands of
dealers Thanksgiving as the result
4)f the refusal of housewives to pay
high prices. The surplus stock will
be held in cold storage for the Christ
mas trade and it is predicted that in
consequence the prices of Christmas
turkeys will be greatly reduced. As
a result of the high cost of living
the Federation of Jewish Farmers of
America in convention here will extend
its principle of cooperative buying.
Representatives of the 1,500,000
members of the federation reported
their expenses have increased
rapidly in the last four months.

GERMANY READY.
Berlin.?In an address to the Reich
stag yesterday in introducing the
man power bill, Chancellor von Bethmann-Hollweg
announced that Germany
was ready to end the war by
a peace guaranteeing the existence
and future of the nation.
In presenting the bill for compulsory
service of civilians for war purposes,
the chancellor spoke in regard
' to the military situation and the purj
poses of the measure. It was the
chancellor's (>Oth birthday, and his
desk was decorated with chrysanthemums.
"The war continues with its destructive
forces," the chancellor said
"Accordingly, our enemies desire it
1 They celebrate the past summer as ;
period of victory. But did they oh
tain what they wanted?
Our lines are unbroken and Rumania
through which a great change
of events was expected, is now aton
ing for what she did. God has helpec
us up to the present. He wilt help
us further.

Increase School Attendance,
Improve Social Conditions.
Many Other Things.
(
A 15 per cent increase in the proportion
of. the available children at- i
tending schools took place following,
the construction of good roads in 8
counties studied by the Office of
Public Roads and Rural Engineering
of the department it is shown in a
recent publication of the office, Department
Bulletin No. 393. The improvement
in roads was followed
also in several of the counties, the
report shows, by consolidation of a
number of the little one-room school
into graded schools, which give the j
pupils better educational advantages;
by a development of various indus-;
tries; and by social improvements'
due to easier intercourse. These improvements
are related closely to in- J
| creases in land values and decreases'
in hauling costs, effects also traced
i to the construction of improved

; In Spotsylvania County, Va., thol
|a\erage daily school attendance in-,
icreased from 57 per cent of the en-j
rollnient before the roads were im;
proved to 77 per cent after. Several
i small schools were consolidated,
j Between 1909, the year preceding
the building of good roads, and 1913,|
the year following their completion
'the shipment of forest products, the'
principal products of the county, in-1
creased more than 78 per cent. The;
increase during this period in the
poultry business in the county , was |
77 per cent, and in dairying 110. per
cent. v- 1
In Dinwiddie County, Va., the average
daily attendance for children
for 13 schools on the improved roads
was 03.4 per cent of the enrollment
ir. 1912-13, while the average attendance
for all other schools ,in / the
| county was 50 per cent. Several <
school consolidations have been e^
recteu, larger scnool buildings; have
been constructed, and pupils have i
been transported to school at the ex- <
pense of the educational system
since the road improvements were
made. Truck gardening and dairying,
which were profitable only with '
in 3 miles of the princijjal market <
town of the county before the road
improvement, are now carried "om
piofitably within a 7-inile radius. J
In Lee County, Va.. a considerable
: industry has been built up following
I he read improvements in the shipment
of tan bark, extract wood, ami
pulp wocd pvduets which ccu'.d not
be profitably hauled over the un
improved roads. The improved high
way system has attracted buyers of
farm products who travel from farm
i to farm and furnish a new cash
; market for the farmers. There has
been a 25 per cent increase in buggies
sold by a county vehicle fac- '
tory.
1 In Wise County, Va., social condiI
tions have been bettered since the
i
good roads wree constructed, many
farmers along the improved highways
having built new homes or improved
old ones, adding sanitary con
veniences. School attendance has
increased materially, but since com1
pulsory attendance regulations went
into effect about the time the improved
roads were completed, the influence
of the two factors could not
be determined separately. Several
school consolidations have been
made.
Automobile registration's in Fratik
1 i 11 County, N. Y., increased from
i i
371 before the road improvement in
1912 to 853 after road improvement
in 1914, and two automobile bus lines
I connecting distant towns in the
| county were establ.'fhcd as soon as
the improved roads were opened.
There has been a notable stimula-!
tion of dairying and general diversification
on the farms of Dallas
-1
County, Ala., since the improvement
I of the roads of that county.
In the section of Lauderdale Coun
' ty, Miss., where most of the roads
have been improved, the school atj
tendance increased from 72 per cent
^ of the enrollment in 1912, just after
the road work started, to 81 per cen^
in 1913 after the completion of the
work. Several school consolidations
have been affected.

j APPEAL MADE FOR
GERMAN WIDOWS
Propose to Give Fund Into the
Care of Ambassador
Gerard.
New York, Nov. 29?A Thanksgiving
week appeal for a fund for the
relief of the widows and orphans of
Germany, who have been made innocent
victims of the war, has gone out
from the American relief committee.
This is in accord with the proclamation
of President Wilson, in designating
the annual Thanksgiving, in
which he calls atteniton tp the sufferings
and urgent need of the people
of Europe, who have been made
to feel the burden of the waf. It is
the purpose to give this fund to Ambassador
Gerard to take back to his
post in Berlin, for him to distribute
to the million widows and orphans
of Germany, through the American
consuls and the other suitable agencies.
"There is real need in Germany
ii.; i * ?
lor mis worK, said Amoassador tier
ard, "and in distributing the money,
I shall be careful to let the German
public know from whom it comes.
Americans have sent more money to
other nations than to Germany, but
I hope the Germans will come to
realize that the people of America
sympathize with the sufferings and
needs of the widows and orphans
everywhere, and are willing to ameliorate
such conditions wherever
found."
"The money will be sent to me
through the United States Department,"
continued Mr. Gerard, "and I
will distribute it through the United
States consuls in Germany wherever
the need is greatest. I think all persons
who are interested, not only in
helping the real necessities of the
widows and orphans of Germany,
but also in permoting n\ore friendly
feeling throughout, the world
ought to help in this work.
"It I am able to go back to Ger-|
many taking a substantial sum of
money, I do not know of anything
better to aid relations between this
country and Germany, and when the I
Germans see that the fund has been
raised by a committee distinctly American,
it can not but make a most
excellent impression upon the people
there.
Checks and money orders intended
for this relief may be sent to the
Treasurer of the American Relief
Committee, John D. Crimmins, li>

FIRST REGIMENT RETURNS.
Columbia.?The First South Carolina
rgeiment has reutrned to Camp
Moore, at Styx, in Lexington County,
after three months of fine service on
the Mexican border. The regiment
might well be called a 100 per cent
regiment. This mark was obtained
by the regiment in every contest, and
on one review a high army official
asked which company of regulars
they were. The men are proud of
the record that they have established.
Col. E. M. Bly^he is proud of his
men.
"\\e were glad to get back to South
Carolina," said Col. Blythe in camp

ATLANTIC FLEET
MORE EFFICIENT

Recruiting Problem Keeps
Ships Under-manned Rec
reation Ground.
Washington.?Battle efficiency of
the Atlantic fleet is improving, Admiral
Benson, chief of operations,
told the house naval committee here,
but the recruiting problems still
keeps ships from a full quote. If
the ships on the list only fourteen
are in full commission. The admiral
said for practical reasons ho thought
it better not to commission more
than 17 to 25 of the new ships.
Then it will have all the fighting
men it needs and then it will be better
to get all the armored cruisers
nil the Pacific coast and all the reserve
destroyers and smaller craft
for scouting work into full commission
than to take the older battleships
out of reserve. He thought 50
per cent of the crews of well trai
men on the reserve ships would be
ample preparation against a war
emergency.
Representative Oliver asked if reports
from the captains of ?he Atlantic
fleet had not indicated the men
were growing tired of long stays at
V T _ a
in ew port.
"I understand," he said, "it is a
pathetic sight at Newport to see the
men sitting around with nothing to
do." Admiral Benson said his attention
had not been called to such
reports.
The admiral said he thought some
place of recreation for the men of
the fleet away from the big cities
should be provided on the Atlantic
coast, and Representative Oliver
agreed that something of the kind
should be done.

A reasonable amount of artificial

who stay up late at night and
bum lights without the least excuse
are always asking the lighting companies
to explain why their light
bills are so large. People who do
that are humorists without knowing
it. They ought to know better than
the lighting companies why their
light bill is large. Remaining up late
