WASHINGTON, Feb. ee.--Secretsry Nagel
OF the Department of Commerce and
Labor, in addressing a conference OF
sellers OF weights and measures here
to-day. gave it as his opinion that the
present high cost OF living is in a measure
due to short weight peekages.
Il have no doubt said the Secretary,
~thrt there ere many explanations for
the high cost OF living. Some OF them
may be charged to pure waste. others
may be charged to the greater abund-
ence OF geld. still others TO combinations,
but believe-and I imagine many OF
you beleve-thct short measures have
much to do with the cost OF living to-day.

between the Federal Government and
the States TO the end th-t food pacza Ges
