PRODUCE FIGHT
CONTAINS Germ
OF COMPETITION
Marketmaster Mckinley Be-
lieves Price Cutting May
Affect Owners of Stalls at
Market House.

The results of the price cutting on
the local produce market have inspired
Marketmaster George Mckinley, with
the hope that the city market may at
last be put on a competitive basis.
For the first time in several years,
produce prices were lowered by deal
ers, to compete for trade, at the mar
ket last Saturday and the week before,
and Mr. Mckinley believes that if the
practice is once established it will
become a feature of the market that
will attract more trade.
AS conditions now exist on the mar
ket Mr.. Mckinley says that it is pare
tically market trust. Through the
plan of auctioning off the booths each
year to the highest bidder, the small
truck growers are eliminated.
Mr.. Mckinley has repeatedly point
ed out that under this system the
housewives are unable to buy stuff
any cheaper at the market than at
the grocery, and they must go after
their own purchases, while the grocer
will deliver them.
"Since the market was established
for the people of the city, they should
be the ones to profit by it, said Mr..
Mckinley today, "but unless they can
do better here than at the grocery,
don't blame them for not coming to
the market"
At this time of the year there are
only about fifteen booths occupied
and evening in the spring, there are
never more tl.an thirty-five stalls oc-
cupied.
"In a city Of this size there should
be at least 200 farmers and truck
growers on the market" said Mr.. Nc
klnley.
THAT would break down the prac-
tice of price fixing and would give
the fSpers a chance to get a fair
price f5f their stuff
Don't get the idea that ] am knock
ing the grocers, because I am not"
he said, but l am in a public office

Pembrey lecturer on uhy ysioloev at Guys Hospital in a discuss.o ion be- fore the Royal Sanitary Institute This he bases on a careful study Of .he fighting capacity of tall and short races and also of the tan mon and short men Of tbe same race.
 Thc difference iu height between 9 short man and a tall man said Dr Pembrey. is due chiefly to the length of the leg. Al ahe same time. height depends upon the correlated activity of certain glands which produce in- ternal secretious. The essential or- -ans in the head and trunk are often better developed in the hort than in .he iau man. the weight of brain be- ug relatively greater in the short man and the reaction lime not so long. Tall men of full proportions are heavy and slow and there are strong physiological reasons for tho
 greater activity of the small man ! who does not suffer from the mechan

 more endurance and is better able te l resist disease.
