tons undertakers called together
for a conference tonight. They
reported eighty-two bodies had
been recovered and now are at
various places In the city. Indi-
vidual estimates OF the under
takers were from 500 to 1000,
but their concensus of opinion
was that 500 would be con-
servative figure. Exploration OF
several recesses OF the city by
newspaper men hardly would
justify such an estimate.
orders had been issued for all
bodies to be brought to general
morgue established in a garage.
This had not been Needed as less
than half the number Of bodies
found, according to the under
takers. had been brought there
tonight.
There has been keen compe-
tition between undertakers for
possession Of unidentified todies.
Thirty undertakers were pres
ent at the meeting and all said
they based their estimates of the
dead on the general survey of
the situation
Louisville life savers made
trip into Riverdale aud North
DAYTON sections. where it was
feared there had been great loss
of life They did not find body
and said they believed few would
be found. An expedition Of CleVe-
land naval reserves brought
practically an Identical report
As so large a part Of the city
had been explored and informa-
tion obtained failed to bear out
earlier estimates of great loss of
life. the announcement of the
undertakers came as surprise
to those most familiar with the
situation.

Good Taste
by GEORGE FITCH,
Author Of eat Good Old Siwasb.7

GOD taste is a mysterious some
u thing which, when added to S24.5O
~ worth of clothes, makes a woman
beautifully dressed, while SlS76 worth of
buds minus good taste is making another
woman look like a POrtaU-e seareerOw-
Good taste is caused by a sensitive
eve, which is easily panied by jarring
coIors and designs in clothes, wall paper
and office buildings. To soOthe his eye,
a man with good taste viii sometimes
spend two hours in picking out a neck
tie which will harmonic with his aura
When a man has this much good taste
he ought to take something for it.
Good taste is closely related to fash
ions, but like most relatives, the two
have little to do with each other. The
woman who follows the fashions closely,
Will sometimes get several thousand
miles away from good taste and will for
get the way back.
Good taste has nothing to do with
eating. A man can have good taste
without possessing a tongue. However,
he Will sometimes have difficulty in ad-
vertising the fact Good taste can indi-
cate a woman's refinement and pros
perity without compelling her to put
diamonds in her ears, and good taste
makes a man depend more upon clean

distributed among those who buy in
proportion to the purchases they have
made.
Many cooperative stores are glad TO
have nCn-members deal with them, and
they are given a share Of the rebates
when the surplus is divided. Usually
the share Of the surplus distributed
to non-members is half that distributed
to members For instance. If a divi-
dend OF per cent is declared on mem
bers' patronage, the dividend to non
members viii be 4 per cent.
Bulk OF Income Goes for Food.
Tt is an Interesting fact that the bulk
OF the business OF a majority of the
cooperative stores of the country has
10 do with fOOdst1ffs and the people
generally come to look upon their gro
Gerry bill as the principal culprit in
the high cost Of living. The statistics
OF the average family budget reveal
the fact that the food question is the
paramount one with the average city
dwelling family, The average income
per family in the United States IS
Sl5l, and OF this 1927 is spent for food
alone Upon this basis the average
family spends more than 40 per cent
OF Its total income for food alone
Cooperative Plan Is Gaining
The friends OF the cooperative store
in the United States believe that the
next quarter of a century viii see the
United states moving I'D to the fore
front Of the cooperative movement
instead Of tagging behind as a strag-
gler. They say that when the CO.
operative movement began in Eng
land, where it has now reached its
highest eOemplificatiOn. it encountered
the same difficulties and obstacles that
are being encountered here. but that
all these difficulties disappear as the.
barriers of prejudice are burned away
and the errors Of a century Of practice
OevrcOme.
On the other hand. those who do not
believe in cooperation assert that the
whole lesson OF American progress is
OroughneSs-every man for his own
business. They contend that the con-
sumner can make more money by tend
ing strictly to his own particular line
Of work than he can out of the same
energy directed at solving the DrOb-
lens of food and clothing distribution
They assert that the highest form OF
cooperation is for every man to be-
come an expert in his own line, and /
each bring TO the other the fruits OF ;
his eXpertness. For Instance. the gro
Ger must come to the bricklayer and (!
the carpenter to build his store They /
charge him for their services prices /
based on their expertness and the high !
cost Of living. When he sells them 1
their groceries upon the same basis Z

viewpoints is taken. cooperation IN /
its accepted form is spreading in the I

Incredible amounts Of good taste can
often be found IN a home which was
furnished at a small cost. On the other
hand, many a new-laid millionaire IN
loads a shiplOad of imported erOckery
and furniture into a fOrty-aere mansion
and discovers afterward that he has
crowded all the good taste out of the
house.
1t is sometimes difficult to tell Just
what Is good taste. In this case the OBJ
ject IN question should be allowed to
sit around for 30 years. If it still looks
good It Is probably in good taste. When
a house or a chair OF a gown or a stair
case can be admired long after their par
ticular style has gone into history, they
are a safe investment for the person
who Is more interested in taste than in
noyelty.-lC Copyrighted by George Nat
