of retailer or manufacturer except as
they affect the consumer. There Is
great need that the woman consumer.
who spends most of the family income
for articles used in the home, should
be able to buy with the least extrava-
gance, the least inefiiciency and the
least waste. I believe that uni
form price on an identified article Is
one of the chief means by which this
most desired end can be obtained"
Mrs. Frederick declared that the
passage of the Stephens-Ashurst bill
will result in greater household etii-
cheney in buying for the following
reasons:
First, II will help the consumer
establish a standard in all pur-
chasing.
Second, It will guarantee to tho
consumer continuance of those
standards once they are estab-
Iished.
Third, 1t will give q wider dis
tribution to more kinds of prod
ucts that the consumer daily
buys.
Fourth, It will save the consum-
er's money because the fixed price
will guarantee a permanent, de-
pendable supply of articles.
Fifth, 1t will be especially help
full to farm women and small town
consumers who are now victims
of discrimination.
Sixth, 1t will mako It possible
for the homemaker to practice
more efficient and less wasteful
buying methods.
Seventh, II will guarantee to the
consumer that the goods which
she buys are made under honor
able standards Of manufacture,
fair pay and sanitary conditions.
In her argument for identified ar
ticles Mrs. Frederick said 1t was nd
mitted that cut prices tend to drive
such articles from the market and
she was merely showing the interest
that the consumer has in having ar
ticles she buys so marked and brand
ed that they can be identified.
Suppose, for the sake of argument,
that there Is no such thing as an
identified article" said Mrs. Fred
erick. "If there is no means of identi-
flying, say, n pound of butter or a
pair of hosiery, then every purchase
of one of those necessities becomes
an experiment. In each case / must
make a test which takes time. trouble
and money and which is worthless in
the end because, should l find the
article satisfactory, l can't be certain
of getting the same thing again; and
IL it Is unsatisfactory / can't be cer-
tain of avoiding it. I do not see how
you can have standard quality with.
out standard price. The trade mark
on an article, the approved standard
price and standard quality. protect
the consumer because they are a
guarantee that the manufacturer Will
continue that standard.
Price juggling destroys the stand
ard which manufacturers have set
and tempts them-sometimes almost
forces them-to lower the quality.
What incentive can manufacturer
have to keep up a high standard of
quality II the price is constantly cut"

MAINTENANCE OF
AMERICAN RIGHTS

Had this Government by tho
use Of both Informal and formal
diplomatic opportunities left no
doubt that when we said strict
accountability" we meant pre-
eiseIy what we said, and that
we should unhesItatlngly vIndI-
cato that position, am conf
dent that there would have been
no destruction Of American lives
by the sinking Of the Lusitanla.
There, we had ample notice; In
fact, published notice. Further
more. we knew the situation
and we did not require specific
notice. Instead Of whIttIIng
away our formal statements by
equIvocaI conversations, we need
cd the straight, direct and de-
eIsive representations which sv-
cry diplomat and forsIsn office
would understand. believe
that In this way we should have
been spared the repeated as
sauIts on American lives. More
over, a firm American policy
would have been strongly sup
ported by our people and the op-
portunities for the development
Of bitter feeling would have
been vastly redueed.-From Mr..

Aceents commisslon Plan

In this note Mir. Polk formally ac. ceptcd the proposal of Carranza for the creation of an American-Mcxican commission to discuss the questions at issue between the two govern ments.
 Carranza sought to limit the scope Of the commissions activity to ques- ton relations relating to the with drawal Of General Pershing's com mand; to the advisability of an agreement for the reciprocal cross. ing of the frontier by the forces of the two nations; to the determina- ton Of the origin Of the raids into the United States. in order to fix responsibility therefor. and to the de-
 ent Of a plan which will as- sure the enlistment of difficulties arising from similar causes in the future.
 Acceptance Thought Likely
 The President regards it as i'm portant that the commission should be charged with the adjustment of all questions. including those which have arisen on the frontier. In Mr. Folks note the suggestion is made that the commission may also com slider such other matters the friend ly arrangement of which would tend to improve the relations Of the two countries"
 As the American communication was not handed to Senor Arrendondo until an oral agreement had been reached relating to the extent of the commissions labors, the belief pre- yails that General Carranza will ac- cept the Presidents suggestion.

Chairman Padgett announced that the whole subject of the proper number of men for any ship was matter of so much difference of opinion among navy officers that Secretary Daniels had directed board, headed by Rear Admiral Mayor to stardardiZe battle stations on all fight ing craft as a means of getting an au- thoritatiVe basis for estimates. Admiral Blue explained that peace complements were fixed under a definite rule. which provided among other things for men enough to man all the big guns and one half the secondary battery of a ship. except confidentially.
 Representative Galloway brought out statements that should the proposed five year building programme be approved g 000 additional men and 15,000 additional officers would be necessary within eight years As it is now. Admiral Blue said, the navy will need 15,000 men by 1919 to man ships already authorized and should have 15000 reserves to provide against He thought the departments s plans would produce that number of re- serves in two or three years if approved by Congress through amendments to the naval reserve act. There are from g, GOO to 3O,e00 fully trained men now in civil life he added. many of whom it is hoped to enlist in the reserve.
 Admiral Blue will take up the depart ment's proposals tomorrow, outlining the amendments desired.
