tor Wilson.

Retail prices on new potatoes in
Washington were reduced cents
peck today by order of District Food
Administrator Wilson. Until further no.
tice they should sell to the consumer at
prices ranging from 50 to SIS cents
peck, which is considered by Mr.. Will

depending almost entirely upon the
supply.
It is explained that the market on
new potatoes has been uncertain both
as to prices and supply. and in reach
ing a decision to make the reduction
today. Mr.. Wilson and his associates
were satisfied that the wholesale price
was too high. By reducing the whole
sale price the hve-cent reduction to
the consumer was made possible.
The first supply Of new potatoes in
Washington came from Florida: and
when that crop was exhausted the
sources of supply shifted to points
farther north with resulting increases
in price. Although MIR. Wilson real

to so cents a peck. were too high and
not warranted.
Following complaints about the re-
tall prices on boiled or cooked ham
the District Food Administratio is
considering the possibility of including
this food article in the weekly fair
price list. Reports received show that
retail stores are charging from 10 to
85 cents a pound for boiled ham. The
fair price list has for the past two
weeks included quotations on stand

of cooked ham on the list is being
urged.

1t Is explained that cooked ham is
considered somewhat as an article of
luxury. and, also that there is a GER

regulating its price will be deter
mined next Thursday at the weekly
meeting of the fair-price committee.
Complaints also have been received
about an increase of 2 cents d gill for
cream. which was recently instituted
by one dealer, but the local admins

Four Cornered Tournament
Might Settle Mat Question

Wladek Zbyszko has won the
gold belt offered for the winner
of the International wrestling
tournament recently completed in
New York.
One of the main reasons Zbysz-
k0 won was because Stranger
Lewis was not permitted to use
his famous head lock. Another
reason is that neither Earl Cad
dock nor Joe Stetcher were COM
peting.
This is not a criticism of Zbysz-
ko. Perhaps he is the greatest
heavyweight wrestler in the coun-
try, perhaps he would have thrown
Lewis had Lewis been permitted
to use the head lock. Perhaps he
would have thrown Caddock and
Stecher had they entered the tour
nament.
To the average person it seems
that Lewis was Disseminated
against, when after he had thrown
practically all corners by use of his
head lock, the hold was barred.

head lock was illegal 1t should
have been barred before the tour

1t is claimed that the head lock
is a camouflage Of the strangle

most wrestling-but this was not
discovered until Lewis had sue
cessfully used 1t against so many
adversaries that the rest of the
contestants fearing they would
meet the same fate, demanded that
1t be barred.
Regardless of this Zbyszko Is
undoubtedly one of the big four

skillful, perhaps as his older
