SERVICE
BUREAU GIVES
USEFUL ADVICE
Makes Selection of Typical
Inquiries, and Appends
Answers.

The local Home Service Bureau
which has been instrumental in assist
ing mothers and families Of soldiers
during the war, is in receipt of sew
eral interesting questions all of which
have been answered and may benefit
others who are meeting with similar
experience. 49,
Some of the questions, with their
answers, follow:
@. Can you tell me how to send
money to my brother who is a prison.
er in Germany and how to address his
mail? rh.
A. You can send small amounts of
money to your brother who is a pris-
oner in Germany through the bureau

Cross, Washington, D. c.. The check
or money order should be made out
to the Red Cross.
@. Can Home Service find out any,
thing further about my son who was
reported wounded in action?
A. If your son has been reported
wounded in action, the Home Service
section can furnish detailed informa-
ton, by sending your request to the
bureau of communication at Wash
ington where it will be forwarded to
Paris headquarters n then to the
Red Cross representative who is to

@. If a drafted nan had his appli-
cation for insurance papers made out
before he left for camp and his train

entitled to insurance or to compensa-
ton? "

it is not probable that an award will
be made.

Commission Reports to the .aA40 0esdte After gation Regarding
 Findings.

WASHINGTON, June go. The Federal Trade Commission reported to the Senate that it believes that American industries are profiteering and taking advantage of the war pressure of heavy production, thus showing inordinate greed and bare faced fraud. The Senate asked the Commission for it's report. The re- port was submitted after an inves- tigation had been made. It is prob able that the Government will pro- ceed at once against profiteering firms.
 The Trade Commission told the Senate that packers and allied in dustries and flour millers were mak- ing heavy profits. The board said low cost concerns were making heavy profits over the whole country un- der the prices fixed by the Govern ment. The Board also investigated the high salaries of company offic' ials
 The Board reported that the price fixing by the Government tended to prevent the market from running away, but at the same time strength ened stronger factors of industry in their position to enrich themselves by profits which were without prece- dent.
