COUNCIL SUGGESTS
REMEDY FOR H. c. [.
NET ANNOUNCE RESULT OF
THEIR INVESTIGATION

WASHINGTON an investi-
cation of the high cost of living prob
lem the Council of National Defense
finds:
That the nations productive
powers have not been fully utilized
since the armistice.
That too few goods, notably the
necessaries of life, have been pro-
duced and that even some of these
goods have been withheld from the
market and therefore from the peo-
pie
That the high cost of living is due
in part to unavoidable war waste
and increase of money and credit.
That there has been and is consid-
cradle profteering, intentional and
unintentional.
The council believes that the rem
edies for the situation are
To produce more goods and to pro.
duce them in proportion to the needs
of the people.
To stamp out profiteering and stop
unnecessary boarding.
To inforce vigorously present laws
and promptly to enact such further
laws as are necessary to prevent and
punish profiteering and needless
boarding.
To bring about better cooperation
and method in distributing and mar
keting goods.
To keep both producer and con-
sumer fully informed as to what
goods are needed and as to what sup
plies are available so that production
may anticipate the countrys de-
mands.
The council is composed of Secre-
tares Baker, Daniels. Lane, Houston,
Redfeld and Wilso nand Grover B.
Clarkson, as directors.

Care on Farm VIII Stop
"Dumpine' at City Market


Cars of fruit and vegetables are
sometimes dumped at large market
terminals but persons who witness
this proceeding should not conclude
that this is deliberately done to keep
up prices, according to men in the
bureau of markets. United States de-
partment of agriculture. The whole
sale dealer is often not in position
to resort and repack damaged pro
duce when enough decay is present
to render the produce unstable in
its original contaner or bulk ship
ment
Sometimes hucksters do go over
the worst damaged cars and salvage
a limited amount of food. Often.
however, the labor cost of such sal
wage work is greater than the value
of the products saved.
LOSSES May Start on Farm.
There are many causes for loss Of
perishable foods between the farm
field and the market Some of these
causes go back to the time crops are
harvested. Take potatoes, for in
stance, which are injured in digging.
Unless these injured potatoes are
sorted out and not packed with the
good potatoes, rot may develop in the
shipment and spread rapidly to other
potatoes. especially if the tempera-
ture in the car is favorable for rot to
develop.
Another source of great loss IN
perishables is found in lack of care
in loading. The packages must be
spaced to permit air circulation and
also braced to prevent shifting. Tenn
perature can not be controlled in
loads packed solid without any air
spaces between the containers, while
bracing must be carefully done or

In the course Of the following years it
was successfully produced in many cit

the play had by no means exhausted its
possibilities here. They obtained the
rights to the play, and on its second
production the play succeeded It was
this shrewd guess that established the
Coburns. They followed this with

The success of The Better ole" was

This is by no means a masterpiece of

Too often the musical piece is built

room for numbers. He can't even let
his jokes get in the way of the gowns.

The CObzzrz1s

The success Of Mr.. and Mrs. Coburn
is pleasant to contemplate, because it
proves unique faith justified, a long
chance taken and won. Behind their
arrival as metropolitan producers
few seasons ago lie more years of OBJ
security than would be fair to tell, dur
ing which they never came nearer to
Broadway than the campus of Colum-
bia College. And regarded as a metro
politan appearance, 116th Street is as
far away from New York as Green
Bay, Wis.
The Coburns have travelled far off
the beaten tracks of the regular theat-
rical caravans with their company of
outdoor players. Their ambitious
repertoire comprised sixteen Shake
spearan plays, eight Greek tragedies,
half dozen French ard Italian classics
and a number Of old English comedies
In their incurable enthusiasm for the
classics they had to find their own
audiences. They followed a route
Of universities, fresh water col
leges and normal schools that led
