The Federal Trade Commission in it's recent report on
war profits stated that the five large meat packers have
been profteering and they have monopoly OF the
market.
These conclusions fair and just matters of serious
concern not only to those engaged IN the meat packing
business but to every other citizen Of our country
The figures given on profits are misleading and the
statement that the packers have monopoly IS unsup'
ported by the facts
The packers mentioned in the report stand ready to
prove their profits reasonable and necessary.
The meat business is one of the largest American in
dustries Any citizen who would famlllarze himself
with it's details must be prepared for large totals:
The report states that the aggregate profits of four
large packers were 900 for the three war
years. &
This sum is compared with $19000,O 900 the average
annual profit for the three years before the making
it appear that the profit O0O 600 greater
than the pre-War profit
This compares threeyear profit with one-year profit
a manifestly unfair method of comparison. 1t is not
only misleading, but the Federal Trade COMMISSION
apparently has made a mistake in the figures them
selves.
The aggregate threeyear profit of $140 900 900 was
earned on sales of over four and half billion dollars
It means about three cents each dollar of sales-or
mere fraction of cent per pound OF product.
Packers profits are negible factor in prices Of live
stock and meats No other large business is conducted
upon such small margins of profit
Furthermore this is very important small
portion of this profit has been paid in dividends The
balance has been put back into the businesses to
be- as you realize when you consider the problems the
packers have had to solve-and solve quicky-during
these war years.
To conduct this business in times with higher costs
and the necessity of paying two or three times the
former prices for live stock has required the use of two

The additional profit makes only fair return his
and as has been stated the larger portion of the profits
earned has been used to finance huge stocks OF goods
and to provide additions and improvements made neces-
sary by the enormous demands Of army and navy
and the Allies
If you are business man you will appreciate the sig
nicance of these facts If you dnacquainted with
business talk this matter with some business
acQuaintance-Wth your banker, say-and ask him to
compare profits Of the packing industry with those OF
any other large industry at the present time. -
No evidence is offered by the Federal Trade Commits
sion in support Of the statement that the large packers
have monopoly The Commission own report shows
the large number and Importance of other packers
The packers mentioned the statement stand ready to
prove to any fair minded person that they in keen
competition with each other and that they have no
power to manipulate prices.
If this were not true they would not dare to make this
positive statement
Furthermore government figures show that the five
large packers mentioned in the report account for only
about one-thrd of the meat business of the country
They wish possible to interest you in the details
of their business Of how, for instance they can sell
dressed beef for less than the cost of the live ANIMAL

One must be thoroughly versed in
the art of millinery to recognize all
the gradations in the several types of
hats. 1t is getting a little difficult for
the amateur to classify them, but the
expert places each hat at glance.
This variation of the different types
gives more room than ever for the ex-
ercise of individual taste and dis
elimination, but in classifying the new
hats we must take the experts word
for 1t.
With this explanation the statement
that the large hat shown at the left
of the picture above belongs among
sport hats, may stand chance of be-
ing believed. This is a sport hat de

sports styles. 1t has made its appear

when one is about to graduate with
ceremony into or out of fractions and
other difficult things of school life one
is entitled to consideration. Usually
the young person from eight to twelve

wherewithal she shall be clothed and

CHAPTER xlll-continued.

We lined up in front of the baths,
soaked with perspiration, and piled
our rifles into stacks. A sergeant of
the r. A. M. G. with yellow band
around his left arm on which was

off our equipment, unroll our puttees
and unlace boots. Then, starting from

Zoe in the first squad.
We entered small room, where we
were given five minutes to undress,
then fled into the bathroom. In here
there were fifteen tubs (barrels sawed
in two) half full of water. Each tub
contained piece of laundry soap. The
sergeant informed us that we had just
twelve minutes in which to take our
baths. Soaping ourselves all over, we
took turns in rubbing each others
Backs, then by means of garden hose,
washed the soap off. The water was
ice cold, but felt fine.
Pretty soon a bell rang and the wa
ter was turned off. Some of the slower
ones were covered with soap. but this
made no difference to the sergeant,
who chased us into another room,
where we lined up in front of little
window, resembling the box office In a
Eheater, and received clean underwear
and towels. From here we went into
Ehe room where we had first undressed.
Ten minutes were allowed in which to
get into our "clabber."
My pair of drawers came up to my
chin and the shirt barely reached my
diaphragm. but they were clean-no
strangers on them, so was satisfied.
At the expiration of the time allot-
ted we were turned out and finished
our dressing on the grass.

buttons over at the front with four
large pearl buttons and is no more
pretentious than one of Bingham so
far as design is concerned. 1t is a
splendid model for the plump little
girl who cannot wear furbelows.
Next to it is little dress of white
vOile with bands of light blue or
candle set in at the yoke and neck
and down the front. 1t is very likely
to catch the admiring eyes of mothers
and little daughters for it has rows of
beading between shirrings that allow
narrow blue velvet ribbon to be run
through. The sleeves are three-quar-
ter length and there is wide tuck
above the three-inch hem.
Both these dresses will give good
service and prove equal to any sum-
mer festivities that may happen along
in the long vacation. Great attention
has been given to design in childrens'
dresses this season and the work of
specialists is evident in displays of
inexpensive wash dresses sold ready
made for so little that it is hardly
worth while to make them.
