METHOD OF BUYING
ANNOUNCED TODAY

Washington, Aug. 1.-THE govern
ment's method of fixing prices on
purchases for itself and allied gov
ernments probably will be announced
tomorrow. The question was dis
cussed at two lengthy meetings Of
the war industries board today. To-
night it was said no definite agree
ment had been reached.
Two courses Of action were debated
by the board. They are:
1.-Fixing of one price for each
commodity purchased.
2.-Fixing sliding scale, based
upon the cost of production.
In reaching an agreement upon the
prices, it is stated, the board must
consider cost of production and make
an arrangement that will be equitable
to all manufacturers.
The small producer is under heavier
production expense than the large cor
porations and necessarily the price he
gets for his goods must be higher to
allow him profit than that asked
by his larger competitors.

A perfect horde of clowns is coming to

and the older boy. his father, there is
nothing in all the varied catalogue of the
circus that quite compares with the crude
and genuine mirth the white-face cut-ups
provide.
The clown is an inherent part of mans
attitude toward life. There have always
lbeen clowns in the past; there will al
ways be clowns in some form. The circus

slowly passing. What is left of him are
scattered and impersonal remnants OF the
old individual Jester. He has become q
medley, multitude of abstracts. q whirl-
wind of Unidentified comedy
The fun of the modern clown lies In

costumes and their mechanical effects
and 1t Is quite as effectively and spon-
| taneously uproarious as that in the days
of tho one-ring tent. DDogs, pigs, goats
ROSTERS and even a kangaroo are their
allies aeroplanes, fire engines and patro
wagons give aid. They dress like police
