War Industries Board Has
Plan To Protect Public.
Wholesale Price Would Be
Stamped ON Article.
PEOPLE WOULD KNOW PROFIT
Could Not Hide
Truth From Victims.
Only Bulk Goods Would Be
Unaffected by Plan.

Washington, Sept. 16.-The war
industries board is about to determine
what is fair profit for the retailer
Moved by the flood of complaints
on profiteering, the board has under
consideration regulations to force the
stamping of wholesale prices on all
merchandise sold in the United States
that the consumer may check the
blood money makers individually.
Can't Hide Profit.
He will know when he inspects any
article of merchandise just how much
profit the retailer gets. This, mem
bers of the board believe, will be suf-
ficient to stop most price boosting.
The federal trade commissions aid
has been enlisted in the plan it was
learned here today. That body's work
will be to prevent stamping of prices
above actual selling figures.
1t will protect the wholesalers and
the manufacturers who attempt to un-
dertake resales mainreance.
Can Enforce Program.
The war industries board believes it
can enforce such a program thru it's
power of individual classification and
its hold on materials and transporta-
tion. Wholesalers and retailers both
would be affected by the boards pow
er to permit movement of raw and
finished products or discontinue the
privilege.
AS the program now stands it could
not be made to cover foodstuffs ex-
cept those in packages and cans. But
to clothing and shoes and trade mark
ed food products, the board could ap-
ply the ruling without leaving an ave-
nue. of escape, it believes.
As a stabilizing power, the board
would have those concerns which al
ready adhere to a price maintenance
policy. Trade competition also would
aid in this, it is pointed out With all
governmental agencies employing their
sources of information, greedy retail
ers soon would have the spotlight
thrown full upon them for the benefit
OF the public.

I'd Krallman Used Razor, Wife
Charges In Divorce Plea.

That he broke into the home of her
parents while she was there and at
tackled members of her family with a
razor and that only the fact that he
was overpowered by members of the
family prevented him from doing her
mother bodily harm, was one of the
allegations contained in the petition
filed in the office of the Shawnee
county district court this morning by
Gertrude Kra1lman, asking a divorce
from Ed Krallman.
Mrs Krallman AYERS that she was
forced to return to her parents be-
cause of the manner in which her hus-
band treated her and says that he
came to the family home on several
different occasions and caused dis
turbanceS. Ever since their marriage
at st. Joseph in May, 1918, Mrs. KraIl-

cusing her of infidelity He makes no
effort to control his violent temper,
she says. and has often threatened her
with bodily violence.
She says she fears he will put his
threats into execution and asks that

America Is Consuming Too
Much of NOnessentiaIs.
Women Workers Become Ex.
travagant, Says Report.

Washington, Sept. 16.-The federal
reserve board, renewing it's plea for
wiser utilization of resources, today
called upon the nation to consume
s24,OG 100000 less than it produces
next year and thus pay the years war
cost.
This means that America must save
$4,000, 100000 more in the next twelve
months than it did in the last year
Only two alternatives present them
selves thru which the nation will be
enabled to make ends meet" the
board pointed out. Either there must
be more intense production or a de-
cidedly increased economy in con-
sumption. While speed up has been
the government watchword, the warm
ing will be issued that the nation must
look to more economy for any increase
