At meeting OF housewives OF
Montclair held this morning In the
Teachers Club, Valley road, Mont
clair, the question do the house,
wives of Montclair want to decrease
their household expenses?" was dis
cussed.
Mrs. Edgar G. Sisson said that the
people of Montclair are living under
false pretenses. They are victims OF
customs and conditions that held
twenty years ago and for which they
are in nc way responsible. She said:
I'VE have come to the place where
we must decide whether we will put
up with existing conditions or do
something. Out of q population OF
25.G0Q one can easily count the really
rich families, but the idea pursued
by the tradespeople that the COM
nlunity Is O rich one and they can get
any price they ask is making all Of
us victims of conditions that existed
years ago, and now we find we can
not Keep pace with conditions any
longer
women should not hesitate to carry
their market baskets to market. We
should have more market baskets
and fewer gold vanity bags"
Mrs. Chauncey H. Marsh, chairman
of the committee on pure foods and
home economics of the Montclair
Federation Of Women's Associations,
advocated a municipal market, which
she thought would solve the problem.
Her plan for the campaign was to
subdivlde the work, so that one
group Of women will have charge of
the plan for municipal market. an
other group to look after the inspet-
ton of shops and see that no I'M
clean food is offered for sale and that
the pure food law is enforced, while

that offer merchandise at reasonable
prices, and endeavor to swing all the
trade to the merchants who will treat
customers fair.

sible for the high prices they are pay

women refuse absolutely to go to
market to make their purchases,
said Mrs. Aborn, ''preferring to give
their orders by telephone. Not few
