.UNDERWEARAED
HOSIERY SCARCE,
PRICES GOING UP

PHILADELPHIA. June 3o.-Sup-
plies of underwear and hosiery in
the hands of wholesale dealers re-
main at a low ebb. and few new
arrivals of goods were reported COM
ing from the mills the past week.
With stocks limited and with little
opportunity in replacing stock, IN
less prices have a tendency toward
a further advance.
Mills show little disposition to con-
tinue with the spring of 1919 lines
Of mems goods. Manufacturers are
waiting to see whether additional
orders will be placed for stock and,
If so. in what volume, so they can
determine their position in regards
to civilian business. There is still
trouble in obtaining yarns for civil
ian purposes, except in occasional
stock lots, which can be picked up
in various quarters from time to
time. Women's underwear offered
by the mills is generally for de-
livery for the rest OF the year. Mills
are reported as well booked on or
ders for both women's and children's
goods. Deliveries of these goods to
wholesalers are for very limited
quantities.
Virtually the same conditions exist
in hosiery as in underwear, with
goods being scarce. There is a
steady demand where goods can be
obtained. Those who have supplies
for the spring OF 1919 find that they
are unable to meet the demand and
stocks are rapidly becoming low.
Every effort is being made by the
mills to deliver all the stock they can
for civilian use.

PLAN j. s. SYSTEM :
To KEEP EMBALMED
BEEF FROM CAMPS

A uniform policy governing the
purchase of meat for both the army
and navy. wherein all lots would be
stamped and passed by federal in
spectors. is now being worked out by
Secretaries Baker and Daniels, II was
announced at the Federal Trade Com
missions hearing Of the "embalmed
beef charges against Wilson and
Company. and Morris and Company.
Chicago packers.
This policy, it was said. will pre-
vent the purchase Of meats that have
not been given official scrutiny. and
will also prevent a recurrence Of con-
ditions such as existed at Camp
Travis. Texas. and on which the Fed
eral Trade Commissions charge is
based.
Three additional witnesses were
heard yesterday. They were F. A.
Jean, a produce merchant of San An
tonic: Frank Cusrdo. a health inspec-
tor at the same city. and DR.. John r.
Mohler. chief Of the Bureau of AMI
NAL Industry Of the Department Of
Agriculture.
The first two men testified regard
ing chickens offered the camp. which
were rejected as UNFIT for human con
sumption. The 200 pounds Of chick
en- turned down. it was said, were
killed in San Antonio and not ex-
amined by inspectors.
DR.. Mohler gave substantiation TO
the packers assertion that the mold
on beef did not necessarily mean de-
terioration. He said il was not I'M
usual. The hearing was closed yes
terday afternoon, and the testimony
thus far taken will be turned over

LIZ CSOI GSSG
A Yankee boy recently re-
ceived a sweater made by a thir-
teen-year-old girl and here is a
little note pinned on the inside
of it.
Dear Soldier Boy:-I hope
this sweater will keep you warm
and comfy. l am thirteen years
old and l have had a lot Of fun
knitting it, and / have been very
happy to think that it may help
some soldier boy.
/ suppose that there will be
many times when you will be
discouraged ard feel pretty bad.
Well, all you have to do is Just
trust Uncle Sam. Everything is
going to come out all right in
the end and so you just want to
trust America.
We are all going to help you
soldier boys.
Your little friend.
GRACE BLAYNEY.
If a similar note were pinned
to every sweater that went out
wouldn't it be big help to the
boys?
It's hard TO say which would
be most gratefully received

CAPTURE BAVARIANS
IN VICTORIOUS drive.
With the American Army March 10 de
layed).- mixed force of American and French
troops penetrated German positions to depth of

,OOO yards IN three sue
cessful raids on the Lor-

dug0uls
There were twice as many French
in the raiding party as Americans,

was deeted by the censorD
Two wounded Bayarians were pick
ed up by the raiders and brought back
to the American lines as prisoners.
The same American colonel who
"went over the Top with the French
last month and captured a Bavarian
lieutenant accompanied the Americans
on this skirmish.
The party passed through the Am
erican wire traYerses and No Mans
Land and walked through the gaps
which had been torn in the heavy Ger
man wire by the allied artileries
The German positions were found
to haze been pulyarized by the can
