PRICE OF SHOES TO
TAKE TUMBLE SOON

WASHINGTON, April 12.-Prices
of shoes. which for several months
have ranged from So TO $40 and $12 a
nair, and, in some instances even high
er than this, are in a good way to
meet a quick decline because of the
fact that certain people of Florida
have had the nerve to buck the shoe
trust, or whoever is responsible TO:
these high prices.
The way the matter became public
here was through Senator Fletcher, Of
Florida Leading citizens of that state
got in touch with Senator Fletcher
ard informed him that while before
the war hides had been selling from
Is to % cents a pound that since the
war, the price had dropped to ten
cents and even that price difficult to
obtain.
This was just the information that
Senator Fletcher was seeking and he
lost no time in seeing officials of the
federal trade commission regarding
TIE matter. He told them of the stu
alton and was informed that the COM
mission had been at work making an
investigation for some time but that
nothing had been accomplished yet
which would indicate what the COM
MISSIONS findings would be.
While neither Senator Fletcher nor
tie members of the commission would
&c beyond this point in indicating
what action might be taken if it is
found that there has been an organ
lied effort ON the part of the shoe
manufacturers to boost the price of
their goods while they have been pay
ing less in reality for their raw sup
plies, it is most likely that the matter
will receive a most sweeping probe.
If the commission finds nothing un-
usual in the situation, then it is not
improbable that Congress may act to
ascertain why shoes are now costing
more than ever before while leather is
costing the makers less.

over the administrations plan to base
selective draft quotas on the number
of men in clause one rather than on
population, a sis done at present was
iIninent in the house yesterday in the

Representative Dent, of Alabama,
chairman of the committee, and a
majority of members agreed to the
administration plan while minority
led by Representative Shellenberger,
of Nebraska, maintained that the quota
should be based on the number of
registrants mall classes ard also that
credit should be given for draft eHgi-

SLEUTHS IN STATE
FOR U. S. FOOD WORK

ATLANTA, Ca, April 12.-The Unit
c3 states Food, Administration head
quarters for Georgia in this city, sent
an inquiry to a certain county food
administrator, directing him to inves--
tigate and find out whether report
bv a secret service agent concerning a
local dealers violation of certain rules
and regulations was correct. The in
CURRY was sent by telegraph.
Next day came back letter from
tie county food administrator, sent by
special delivery, Informing the food
administration that the dealer in
question closed his store when shown
your telegram of inquiry, ETC."
This incident shows the readiness o.
dt alers in foodstuffs to comply with
the rules and regulations of the food
administration, and likewise illustrates
their profound conviction that the food
administrator, through is county adj
illustrators, special agents and secret
service men, is strictly on the job to
detect and punish violations.
In this particular case it had not
been the intention of The food admin
istration to close t:i3 dealers store,
unless he was found to be guilty be-
yond doubt and refused to stop his
violations, but the dealer took no
chances. The food administration au-
thorized him to reopen his store in
three days.
