CUTS COST OF living
Nationally Displayed Goods Alone
Haven't Advanced Prices.

Among the several Investigations in
progress or contemplated Of commodity
prices, none is of more interest to the
average business man than the one which
has just been suggested at Washington
to cover the basic facts of production and
distribution Its scope has not yet been
fully revealed, but 1t is apparent that the
influence of advertising as a distributing
force on both the price and quality OF
goods will have leading place.
The Association of National Advertisers
has recently been gathering facts and
figures on this subject They show how
one after another of the big advertisers
of the country have been able to reduce
the price OF their product or else to i'm
prove the quality at no increase in price.
1t is significant fact that nationally ad-
vertised goods are the only products
which, as a class, have not tended TO rise
in price during the past few years.
Countless causes are working today to
force prices up. Against all these forces
one force only is working to keep prices
down-and its name is advertising, ac-
cording to the data department Of the as
goCiation.

TRADE BOARD CHEERS
PATRIOTIC ADDRESS
u. S. Will Stand Firm in Crisis, Pastor
Tells Business Men.

The Bible says, Having done all,
stand and by the God of the world the
United States will stand in this present
crisis
This was the emphatic declaration made
Dy Rev. DR.. James S. Montgomery, pastor
Of Calvary Methodist Episcopal Church.
at a meeting of the Washington Board Of
Trade last evening in the New Willard.
1t further characterizes the spirit of
patriotism which prevailed at the meet
ing. and which. combined with the dis
cussion of suffrage for the District, made
the meeting one of the most enthusiastic
gatherings of the board in months.
The board also considered annual re-
ports and recommendations of the COM
mittees on charities and corrections, pub
lie transportation, public health, universt.
ties, and water supply.
The most interesting OF these reports
was that of the committee on public
health, which made as one of its recon-
mendations that all bread offered for sale
in the District be wrapped at the bakery
IN prepared paper and sealed.
Arguments Presented.
Arguments were presented to show that
unwrapped bread carried disease.
AS dramatic climax to a thrilling ad-
dress, DR.. Montgomery declared: The
sparks of the European confederation
may fall on our shores. but I hope that
the last war has been declared. Never
theless, when n monster is wriggiing
about on the high seas with his pocket
full of matches and shaking his fist in
the face OF the whole world what can
we do?

A roaring shout greeted these words
Many in the audience carried small
American flags, which they waved en-

Senator George f. Chamberlain, from

remarks favoring representation for the
District.
He explained that the suffrage bin is
now apparently chloroformed and Sleep
ing sleep which, knows no waking" but
he emphasized his determination to recall

sents itself until it is recognized.
Senator Chamberlain expressed the
opinion that the House has pigeon -holed

ton
Plea for Guardsmen,
Another speaker was Representative
Philip p. Campbell. from Kansas who
raised an objection to Washington being
"a legislative experiment station for

Odell S. Smith announced that the Dis
trict militiamen are about to return
home and that a rousing reception was
being planned for them. He asked that
all men present who could do so should
offer employment to the Guardsmen whs
would be out OF work.
In this connection Gen Harvey. in
command of the local militiamen, also
spoke.
Selections were sung by the Board o.
