tiOns that the effect of the German

as follows:

Asleep Since the Marine

New YORK SUN-A case alike interesting to
doctors and laymen is that of French SOL
der, described by Professor Verger of Bordeaux,
who has been asleep since the battle of the Marine
In the twenty-seven months since that tremen-
dous struggle the soldier has not awakened His
eyelids closed, his respiration regular his pulse
rapid. Doctor Verger says:
lie is sensitive to excitement, such stimulation
provoking a weak defense, without, however, in
terruptng his sleep"
The case is believed to be one Of hySterical lc-
thargy. In the period OF duration, the sensitive
ness to excitement, the weak defense, the contnu-
nus sleep, this description might well apply to the
symptoms not only OF one French soldier but OF
an unprepared nation of more than hundred mil
lion people, asleep since the battle of the Marine
And now Judge Whitney adds himself to the
fast growing majority Of self-retired members Of
the bench. His resignation will leave another big
role to be filled. Who's'nexti

Deals With Staples.

The committee in fixing prices dealt
solely with staples or articles that are
the essential items of food in all house
holds. A glance at the accompanying
table shows that the margin of profit
on these articles will average Is per
cent The profit on butter, which
amounts to IL per cent, is lowest.
while that on rice, of 25 per cent, is
the highest.
Mr.. Lutey explained that in decid-
ing upon fair selling prices the COM
mittee did not take into considera-
tion with every item the cost of doing
business. The margins or percent
ages of profit will vary. The costs
enumerated are the actual costs to the
retailers in bulk or quantity purchases
delivered at their places of business.
The fair selling price must include the
cost and fair profit to cover the ex-
penses of doing business. These
points were taken into consideration
by the committee.

HOOVER AGAIN
SEEKS HEARING
But Senate Sugar Probe Com
mittee Fails to Listen
to His Plea.

Washington. Dec 1S.-Food Admins
istrator Hoover today made another in
effcctual attempt to he heard at the
senate sugar Investigation. Chairman
Reed said that while he wished to treat
Mr. Hoover with all courtesy, he saw
no reason why witnesses waiting to
testify should be displaced at this time.
Sugar men saw the danger of
shortage early last spring because OF
stories of a fictitious famine, and later
when they began to realize the largo
amounts being sent abroad, Earl A.
liahst, president of the American Sugar
Refining company. today testified be-
fore the senate investigating COM
mittee.
Babst said that in May he warned
Hoover that famine stories circulated
in February and March would have a
serious effect and again in June pre-
dicted to Mr.. Hoover a shortage this
fan because so much sugar was being
sent abroad. Habst pointed out that
his company advertised extensively
during the summer that there was no
prospect of a shortage II people would
not hoard, and added that his company
took only two foreign orders after
June 2S. These, he said. We're filled
at the earnest plea Of the British royai
commission that some sugar was need
ed there. The total shipped abroad
this year, he testified, was 42S 900 tons.

Retailers Expenses.

The retailers average cost of doing
bt siness in Butte ranges from Is to 20
per cent of his sales. That means that
the margin of profit is as great. other
wise he is conducting his business at a
loss as far as those items sold under
these margins of profit are concerned.
Regarding flour. the question of
quoting both Montana and eastern
.iour was considered, and the commit =
tee decided. at least for the present,
to quote only the best Montana
product.
1t is the wish of the fair price COM
mittee that the 131 food dealers in
Silver Bow county will conform to the
prices agreed on by the committee All
