New York, Nov. So.-According to
the World an investigation BIZ 1t of the
retail grocery situation of Greater
New York reveals that wholesalers
have made retail grocers raise their
prices to consumers by threats that If
they did not do so supplies would be
cut off.
Retailers with surplus supplies
bought from wholesalers in the last one
or two years have wanted to supply
these to housewives at the usual nor
NAL profit, but this has been objected
to by the supply agencies and large
Wholesale concerns because they have
boosted their prices on present day
orders.
COMPELLED. TO CHARGE MoRE7
MANY grocers have been obliged to
raise the charges to the consumers, not
only on purchases made in the last
two or three months. but on old stock,
if they wanted to continue doing busi-
ness with the wholesale firms.
Some retailers refused to have their
prices to tho consumer set by the large
concerns, with the result that they
were informed that their orders would
"A great number, fearing tho threats
would be carried out, have increased
their prices, but others are selling
goods at small profits to hold their

''roughneck." The "lowbrow" was too
practical. just as the 'highbrow" was
not practical enough.
Jordan's subject was "A Man." and
during the course of his talk he de
clared it was a good thing to learn to
be In the minority.
The salient points of his address
We're seriously studied by faculty mem
bers at the University of Minnesota.
and a dispatch from Minneapolis said
they heartily Endorsed Mr.. Jordan's
statements and that he expressed the
general opinion of the faculty mem
bers.
Some of them, however, took excep-
ton TO the way the Californian put IL:
but. accepting his definition of low
brow" as one who Is too practical and
a 'highbrow' as one who is not prac-
teal enough. they agreed with the sen.
timent.
Normal brows" are the ideal of the
engineering college at the University
Of Minnesota, where the most practical
students are believed to foregather. ac-
cording to Dean Francis c. Shenehon.
He said the students come to the col
lege from high school with ~''lowbrow'
tendencies and that the college tries to
take the ''lowbrowism" out of them be
fore they are graduated.
"Lowbrows," according to Dean
Shenehon, are more In danger of get.
ting out of date than are the high
brows." Practice changes and prin.
ciples do not, he said, so the man who
is too practical easily may be left be
hind.
There's something to what he says

rhetoric department. ''but / don't like
his English. Most of the students 20
directly into a professional school. or
IL they take a course In the academic
college 1t Is to train them for some spe-
cial work"
The inference on the part of all the
Minnesota professors was that enter
ing students are distinctly in the low
brow" classification. and the work of
the faculty is to elevate their foreheads
before they escape with diplomas.
