RETAILERS RESPONSIBLE.
Some of Pro6teering Due to Final
Sellers, Saws Reader.

To The Editor OF The Washington
Herald: At last something seems
likely to be done towards investi-
eating and ! hope removing the
cause Of the high prices of certain
necessary commodities in this city
as compared with many other places.
Ever since the era of high prices
began there has seemed to be a
marked Discrimination on the part
of the authorities. both national and
local. to hold the retailer respon-
sible. And yet I could easily fill a
couple of columns OF your valua able
space with experiences of my own
all going to show how largely it is
the retailer we have to thank for
the abnormally high cost of the
necessaries of life. But will only
mention two occurrences of as late
a date as Saturday last.
On that day. July 6. certain stalls
in Center Market were charging so
cents a peck for potatoes when 9TH
ers were asking for identically the
same grade OF potatoes only 20 cents
a peck. a difference OF IA 2-7 per
cent. For string beans some dealers
were asking so cents a peck and
others for precisely the same grade
only 90 cents a peck. a difference
of 33 1-3 per cent. 1t was early in
the day and the prices mentioned
were those the dealers had started
out with. 1t is to be presumed that
the dealers asking the lower prices
made a reasonable profit. II Sc.
there is absolutely no excuse for
those dealers demanding the higher
prices. I have had similar expe-
riences both as to poultry and fish.
However contrary II may be to
ones preconceptions of sound busi-
ness principles. I see nothing for 1t
but a general fixing OF prices.

WOMEN SHOULD SALUTE.
Men Also Should Show More Re
spect for Their FLAG

Editor The Washington Herald:
The article in the morning Herald
Shall Women Salute When the lag
Goes By" Is well timed. In the many
gatherings here during the past two
years have noted that II is not only
the women who do not pay proper
Difference to our flag and colors when
passing. but also many OF the men
neither uncover their heads nor
salute.
At the general convention Of the
United Daughters of the Confederacy
held at Chattanooga, Tenn, Novem-
Der li-lI. 1917, the delegates represent
ing 100000 womeh-members of the
society-unanimousIy adopted the reso-
luton. that when the Natioflal
Anthem is played or sung and when
the Colors pass in review, the women
shall place their, iAeht hands over
their hearts and stand at attention."
Every woman in our country should
adopt a similar resolution.

Postal Card Establishes
Most Remarkable Record

Danville, Ill.-Walter McMillen
says he has one of the most re-
markable postal cards on record.
He mailed the card here January 2,
1913, and. according to the post
mark. it arrived at its destination,
Chicago, June IS, 1918, covering an
average mileage of less than twenty
five miles year. He wrote the card
to a nephew who mailed lit back.
On its return trip from Chicago the
card travelled more than $4,000
times as rapidly as 1t did on its
original tour. .

EXCELLENT SUGGESTION.
We Can Say Beforehand That Rents
: Are Much Larger Here.

Editor The Washington Herald:
The Washington Herald manage
ment Is entitled to most earnest
communication for it's attitude on
matters relating to the welfare of
persons of limited means.
Many such persons are finding
difficulties in their problems of liv-
ing in Washington these times.
1t has occurred to the writer TO
suggest to the Herald to investigate
the list of houses. apartments, fats
and rooms for rent in Philadelphia
which has been prepared by the
Shipping Board for use of its en-
ployes in that city. so as to be able
to show how much greater rents
are in Washington than in PhiIa-
delphia.
