HIGH PRICES

Licensing of Corporations and Put-
lication of Production Costs
Other Remedies.

Harrisburg, Pa, Nov. T. Attor-
ney General Palmer, in a statement
issued in advance of the fair price
conference called by Governor
Sproul, declared that profteering
and boarding are responsible for =
considerable part of the prevailing
high prices. He said that it has been
the policy of this department when
ever possible to force boarded goods
into the nominal channels of trade.
Describing efforts of the depart
ment of justice to drive down the
cost of living, Attorney General Baf-
Der speaking before meeting Of the
fair price committee, mayors Of ct--
ties and state officials of Pennsylvan- r
ia here, declared that if the people
would increase their saving by 10
per cent, the cost of living wouIo
fall 20 per cent in a brief period OF
time.
Mr.. Palmer attacked the buy
now" campaign, declaring that cur
lob is to wait, both in our interest
and in the interest of the natiGn,and
the world at large, that the demand
may be hghtened." He called upon
the 'plain people" to wear their Ole
, clothes a little longer, to refuse TO
: buy until production had caught up
: with the demand. Unless the people
, themselves take this step the attor~
ney general said, the nati-o caunot
Y expect to have anything but diseom-
t fort and disorder.
Mr.. Palmer urged that the country
= vigorously support "some Of the aesS
: ly proposed legislation (which woui6
n place the strong arm of the govern
: ment over powerful corporations

e Labor was called to account for
d any lethargy in production by Mr.
it Palmer. He branded idlers as sin
It ners, and declared idlers could re-
suit in only one thing, at this time

"This is a critical hour in the -ilte
of our country" he continued The
test is being made whether the gov
errnment has the right and the Pow
er to protect all the people from i
national disaster which would be in
! flicted upon them by single group
\ for its own advantage"
Mr.. Palmer said that the coal
strike involves more than a dispute
over wages, hours or conditions ot
ID capital; that the offer of a peaceful
settlement has been rejected and
that the government face the alter
native of submitting to demands OF
ce group or challenging the asser-
Sc ton by that group, of power greater
W, than that of the government itself. .

1 suppose a bride may fairly be
allowed to WOO her own husband, to
win lii back a second time, without
being considered a vampire. It's a
thing to hope for, since even a mod
est girl, nowadays, runs the risk of
criticism on that score. Why will
the very man who encourages her to
be frank, gay, and humanity friendly
with him, be the first to accuse her
afterward of being the "Salamander"

All of which is far enough away

were forever escorting her to or

me, laid back her ears and put her

own account" 1 began, standing be-
side the little rustic table and looking
down at her, against attacking a
person who Is down, may 1 appeal to
you, Miss Corley, on a sort of patri-
otto ground?"
She raised her eyebrows and bent
her head to one side as though think
ing out what I meant.

sense Of doing Justice to American
women in general. I hate to think
of the Impression an English lady

sportsmanlike methods of the girls in

But you-you are fighting a lame
creature who can't defend itself.
Don't you know Mrs. Kymbal has

What Child Welfare
Clinic Will Do For
City; 10 Oben Soon

The clinic which will be started to-
or the early part of next
week in the First National bank
building will be known as a Child
Welfare Station. This is a new start
of affairs in this city. this will meet
a problem though that Ia anything
but new. The problem of teaching
and instructing the young mother and
the ignorant mother what to do with
her child. will be the work planned.
In these days Of high cost of living
the visit to the doctor because of the
illness of the baby is indeed a luxury
that cannot be INDUCED in more than
once. If the child is i'll enough to
need the doctors care and advise
one visit is of nc importance whatso-
ever 1t is to keep the
child under he doctors care con-
stantly. This may be done at the
child welfare station.
One big drawback at first in these
child welfare stations has been the
feeling in the minds of some Of the
would-bs patients hat they were ac-
cepting charity; this isn't q fact. If
q burglar enters your house and you
phone to the police department for
help and they send a patrolman to
the scene do you think that you are
excepting charity from the city? OF
course not. Then again il you house
catches fire n you phone to the fire
department and they send their APP
paratus and fire fighters to the scene
do you think hat you are excepting
charity from the city? OF course not.
Then IL you have a right for the taxes
which you pay directly or indirectly
to expect this help in the time of
need from the police n fire depart
ment then you have a right to expect
the same from the health depart
ment. The Health Department under
the leadership Of Health officer
Thompson formed this welfare sta
ton in order to meet the needs of the
people.
The policy Of this station is in a
word-DIET. The regulation of the
diet of the individual is answerable
for the health and actions of the in
~dividual. The station will be under the
personal direction of DR. H G Strand
burg. DR.. Strandburg under the in
stigation OF DIR. Thompson, has been
visiting numerous welfare stations in
surrounding cities and has a well
mapped and well defined line Of cam
paign. The idea Is to regulate the
diet Of the child and through the
child to teach the mother just what
good food Is and why it should no
used. To show her the reason her
husband goes out nights, doesn't eat

and fretful while the man that lives
down the street stays at home, eats
we'll. LIS growing robust and healthy
and helps his wife evenings. What is
the reason the welfare officials Will
answer ,"diet."
1t is the intention of the officials
to open the clinic today, but owing
to numerous conditions the rooms
have not been completed and the ex-
act date will be announced later
through the EVENING NEWS. The
clinic or welfare station Will be open
two days a week at first and If the
number who apply warrant 1T it will
in he course OF time be open every
day. This is a big boom for this city
for rioh and IUor alike tho possibility
OF having a physician examine the
child and from observation and prac-
tice be able 10 inform the m nther just
what feeding 1t needs.
