!. washington Dispatch to the
women; Men Must Not
Read
CBy Marion 4. Leiand)

Written expressly for the Free Press
Washington, July 27-Madam
have you been to the dry goods store
,Ia,ely-the dry goods store in YOU
MN town? Have you noticed that
SON must pay from 10 to - cents
, sU DAYS for the standard muslins
hat retailed for 8 and 8 cents not SC
,anr agos And do you know that
S .;;nebams that sold last year for u
cents a yard now cost 81?
These questions are addressed to
.he womenfolks. In fact, this article
! dedicated to the women of Grange
vile. This is because the editor has
ssked for political letter from Wash
;ucton for the sole interest Of his wo-
non readers. Yes, the request was
somewhat unusual. The newspaper
correspondents who sit in the press
galleries in the United States capitol
seldom if ever prepare an article for
the enlightenment of the women Of
the land But why nots Is it not
true that they do more buying than
the men? And that increased prices
pinches the women even more than
the menu Now ifyou have noted that
muslins and ginghams and such are
higher do you know the reason? Sen
ator Aldrich of Rhode Island and
Senator Flint of California stated on
the floor of the senate that the retail
| ers we're to blame for the upward ten
dency Of prices. These senators were
simply trying to pass the responsible
ity from their shoulders, where it be-
longs to the shoulders of the corner
store, where it does not belong. Your
local retailer is as blameless for in
creasing prices as you are.
Then who is to blame? | can give
YOU the answer. The colored gentle
man in the woodpile is the Payne
Aldrich tariff law. The members of
congress who voted for this measure
will be explaining to your husbands
before long that they voted for pro-
lection.
Ginghams and laces are not the on
" things that cost more because of the
passage of the "extortion'' bill Take
stockings for instance. A year ago a
popular seller was German knit cot
ton stocking with seamless foot and
Louis Hermesdorf dyes. This stock
ing cost the merchant 1925 dozen
pair and sold for 25 cents pair.
Last year a certain American stock
ing, not SO well dyed, nor so we'll
made cost the merchant $1.75 a doz-
en pair.
Today the American stocking costs
fhe merchant 1925 a. dozen and sells
or % cents. Do you see the point?
The tariff has raised the price of its
German rival 10 cents a pair, and it
no longer on sale. The greedy
American gets monopoly on stock
lgs Then he Immediately raises his
price to the retailer. Are you not
paying the same price for an inferior
lrtlcle that you used to pay for a good
lrticle? Higher prices and cheaper
Aualities That is the short definition
u Aldrichism.
Here is a table supplied by the
eading Wholesale dry goods establish
nent which tells it's own story:

Tariff. Today.

Decision in MC|MiIIin-
Cowell Case Affirmed

The United States Circuit Court OF
Appeals, at San Francisco. has affirm
ed the decision Of judge Hanford. OF
the u. S. District Court. at Seattle.
in favor of John S. McMillin in the
suit brought against him by E v.
Cowell between two and three years
ago. in which Mr.. McMillin was
charged with wrongfully converting
funds of the Tacoma & Roche Harbor
Lime Co. to his own use aud also
with having drawn $1,000 per year
more salary as president of the COM
pany for ten years than he was enti-
tied to.
The CowelI suit was instituted just
as Mr.. McMillin was about to close
big deal for the sale of the COM
pany's property to a syndicate OF
Eastern capitalists who we're to build
and operate a big cement plant at
Roche Harbor. The suit prevented
the sale and Mr.. Cowell was required
to give bond of 500. 900 to indem-
nifty Mr.. McMillin for losses which
he would sustain in consequence of
the suit if the decision of the court
should b. in his favor. Mr.. McMil-
Inns attorneys state that suit to re-
cover upon this bond will be institute
ed as soon as the ren.ittitur arrives
from the Circuit Court of Appeals.

Many of our boys are now happily wed
and live in model east side flats, as an
outcome of this school and club life, pc
culiarly fitted TO their needs
Our model flat" said Miss Wells. in
telling her part of the story, teaches
the young girls many useful things.
Here girls over Il are trained in the
art OF housekeeping. Without excep-
tiOn all are most enthusiastic about the
work, which proves what a need there
is for just this kind of education.
There are three rooms in the tiny
flat, which is the regulation style OF
apartment in this part ofsthe city The
furnishings are made to conform as
nearly as possible TO what are found
in the actual living quarters.
"A class of six girls will enter the
flat in charge of an instructor and then
go through as closely as possible the
routine of daily life. Two members of
the class play husband and wife 10
make il more realistic and give a zest
to the make believe housekeeping.
'One girl will take charge of the
kitchen work, cooking the meals. An
other will clean the dining room, while
a third acts as chambermaid- All are
taught the value of fresh air. Every
thing in the flat is given a thorough
airing daily. In this way valuable pre-
yentive measures are inculcated toward
the eliminating of tuberculosis. which
is so prevalent in this neighborhood.
Here also the economy of stretching
the family resources IS taught The
children are shown how to accomplish
much with little. Dry goods boxes, with
some ingenuity and paint, are made to
do as dish closets. Now, when food
stuffs are so high in price, knowledge
how 20 save in every way in the cooking
is a most important part of the tut
tion.
These girls start in at II, and it is
none too soon, for most of them are
married at II. It seems as though
nothing can deter them from it, de-
clared Miss Wells. laughingly- Many
Of them seem to think 1t a privilege
to marry a man and then work for
him. Whenever I question one of the
girls on her haste TO wed she usually
regards me with wonder.
Large families, of four and more
children. are the rule. Many of the
men under the present order Of things
sit at home while their wives toll to
support them. BY this training that
we give here 10 the boys and girls we
hope TO change this social order OF
things. We believe that the standard
of living will be raised and that hap
pier homes will result Scientific
knowledge of how to live properly,
when the boys and girls are taken in
hand young, IS bound TO work great
reforms for the better in the homes OF
the future
