WASHINGTON, July 15.- What!
Beef steak 40 cents pound you say?
Although haven't kept house for
some time, that seems pretty high"
This was the comment OF Mrs. Mar

second lady Of the land, when her
attention was called to the boosting
Of beef prices.
II know Of the steady rise In food
stuffs," she said. "It seems to me
that the women are somewhat to
blame. They all send their orders
in to the butcher or grocer at the
same time Of the morning and they
all want the things delivered at once.
This makes the shop keeper maintain
a large stan, automobiles and wagons
for prompt deliveries and the place is
IN an uproar for certain time of the
morning-then 1t calms down and
there is comparatively little to do the
rest OF the day. And then these same
women will phone down in little

consumer has to pay for the extra
