THE PRICE OF PAPER.

The report OF the federal trade commission on the
news print paper industry shows the absurdty of the
manufacturers plea that their high prices justified
The commission has been investigating the matter for
several issued resume of its concu-
sions which may be summed up in this single fact:
The papers mills been making paper at lower
cost than ever before selling it far higher than
before.
Although labor and some of the raw materials cost
more than years, the commission finds that
the total cost Of manufacture half of 1916
the period fully by its inqury-has been
lowered by more efficient methods. The same situation
exists at present It was expected perhaps
that the manufacturers would give the consumers the
OF this economy. But it might have been ex-
pected that in view of the pecuniary advantage thus
gained the manufacturers would have RETAINED from
raising prices What has actually happened is almost
incredible.
Formerly newspapers were generally able buy their
print paper on contract 81 per hundred pounds or
less During the nrst half this year the paper
trust" raised its contract prices high So hun
dred and since July has charged high $3.50 per
hundred This increase has obviously nearly doubled

manufacture OF newspapers even when that material

But this contract price trivial compared with the
market price which any newspaper not having
a years contract has been obliged TO pay Before
Jan. L. 1916 paper could bought the market and
delivered 81 TO 81 per hundred Since Jan. l.
the market rates have been raised much Sc and

S1.s5 per hundred.
The manufacturers seek To- justify their prices by
the plea Of scarcity" The demand has indeed in

is that the paper is now sold as fast as 1t is made

HOSPITALS DESERVE AID.

To the Editor of the News-Times,
Dear Sir: one of the most i'm
portant phases in the development
of our civic duty is a full realiza-
ton of the service rendered to the
public through our hospitals. Few
cities can boast of better facilities
forded through the equipment Of
both st. Joseph's and Epworth hos
pitfalls With large STATS of physi-
clans and nurses of proved cOmpe-
tency and good standing. they func-
ton widely in the citys public
health
Social service has accomplished a
great deal Of good in the past, but
il would seem that there has not
been a right appreciation of the need
of outside assistance for the hospi-
tails in our city. The functions of
the modern hospital have greatly
multiplied in the past Is or 20 years,
and 10 meet the changed conditions
requires a greater expenditure of
money than was called for III the
past.
The organization OF the Associated
Charities was a step in the right di-
rection. But / believe there has been
too much Of the willing spirit to re-
ceive. and a too great reluctance to
give on the part of many of our peO-
pie.
Now that the time is again at
hand TO assist in the important work
Of cfvic uplift. il is hoped that our
citizens will awaken 20 the great
good already accomplished. and 10
remember particularly. the need of
the material assistance that is nee
essary TO insure a continuation of
the splendid service given by South
Bends hospitals in the past. The
problem is one Of education. but if
every resident of South Bend does
his share now. 1t will serve as Il
stimulus for the development Of a
sentiment that will in time be con
tinuous and permanent and a cred

Stories From the War Zone

There is no theory about this pro-
position. 1t is practical. The women
artually are doing work it used to be
taken for granted only men satisfac-
torily could do. In a good many in
stances, 1t is conceded, they are doing
it better than the men did. The coun-
try, too, is mighty glad to get them.
It is begging for their help.
Munltion making is largely in wo-
mems hands. Women are rapidly
taking over the positions Of the men
street car and bus conductors.
Women are running elevators. Wo-
men are acting as ticket sellers and
choppers.
A womens army is being recuited
to do England's farming. Women
clerks are behind the counters of the
retail stores of all kinds.
Women chauffeurs are numerous.
Women run delivery wagons.
Women are doing all sorts of cleri-
cal work in banks, wholesale houses,
insurance offices and counting
rooms generally.
This drafting of women has been
far more general on the European
continent than in England. On the
continent however. there has been no
such corresponding effort on the wo-
mems part to get value received for
their wartime help, in the form Of
subsequent political concessions.
After all women have done during
the war; it is hard to see how Eng
land can refuse what they demand la
ter. At any rate, it is a safe conclu-
sion that they will get respectful
hearing when they present their
claims next time. instehd of the cons
temptuous dismissal which their eff
forts met before the great European
| struggle.
Comment by the new women work
ers. too, shows that suffragette repre-
sentations are making an impression
on the rank and file.
The next demand, consequently,
will be no more diIettante movement

who have done as much as any man

LONDON. April 2S.--Women will
have a great deal to say about run
ming England after the war. If they
get the vote they will rule England's
electorate, as there were 100000
more British women than men be-
fore the war.
The suffragettes abandoned mill
tant tactics when fighting began with
the Germans, but they have been con-
Quoting an educational campaign ever
since.
Its keynote has been the thorough
advertisement of the extent to which
women have taken the places of the
men at the front. Since women can

que. why aren't they entitled to the
franchise in the same footing with
men?
