 r., Fearing that their daughter has eloped with a boarder, the parents of Lxcy Notta of Hunter road have ask ed the police to help locate her. The last seen of Miss Notta was when she left home last Saturday, going to work in the North & Judd plant. The fact that a boarder who was staying at the Notta home disappeared at the same time as the 14-year- old daughter, the parents believe that the two have eloped.

HIGH SHOE PRICES DUE
TO EXCESSIVE PROFITS
Investigation by Federal Trade Com
mission Shows that Every Fac
tor Has Been Profiteering.

Washington, August 6.-The high
price of shoes was declared to be due
to excessive profits taken by every
factor in the shoe production industry,
in a report by the Federal Trade COM
mission and made public today. The
packers were charged with having
begun the pyramiding of shoe prices
by an unwarranted increase in the
price of hides, the supply of which
they were said to control. On top of
this the tanners have taken "excep-
tional profits" while the shoe manu-
facturers have demanded an unusual
Margin" and the retailers have charg-
ed prices that are "not justifiable."
The commissions report covers the
four-year period from 1914 to 1918.
To show hat the packers have made
unWarranted increases in the price of
"%packer' hides, the report pointed out
that the price differential between
their hides and ~"country' hides-hides
of a lower grade-has increased "far
beyond the usual proportion" Charges
of excessive profits against the tan
ner and the shoe manufacturer were
said to be supported by "the high
rates Of return on investments" in
both Industries following the price in
creases.
"The public" said the report, chad
to pay prices for shoes that not only
could not be justified because retail
shoe dealers took too much profit but
because the dealer had to pass on to
the the excessive profits re-
ceived by butchers for hides and also
the excess profits of tanners and shoe
manufacturers"
"Some relief from the intolerable
prices paid by consumers for shoes
may be had," the commission said, "by
% a rigid enforcement of the laws
against monopolistic control of CON-
modities.
"(2) Legislation forbidding produ-
GERS of hides engaging in the tanning
business, and
"(3) The adoption of a device in the
distribution of shoes that will acquaint
the consumer with the selling prices Of
the manufacturer"
While noting that because Of in
creases in the cost of materials dur
ing the war periods "prices were bound
to advance considerably even though
no large profits were obtained" the
commission said leather manufacture
ers, shoe manufacturers and retail
shoe merchants all made "unprecedent
profits"
"Even in 1914 the tanning industry
was prosperous" said the report, Gin
perhaps a majority Of cases earnings
were 10 per cent Or more and only a
few suffered losses. By 1916 and 1917
it was rather unusual for a company
to earn less than 20 per cent. A sim
liar comparison for manufacturers of
shoes shows that more than twice as
many made a profit Of 20 per cent or
more in 1916 and 1917 as did in 1914.

circumstances, especially the circum-

U. S. TO BUILD LINERS TO
CROSS OCEAN IN FOUR DAYS

Washington, July 24.-Two gigantic
ocean liners larger than any ships now
afloat and designed to cross the At
latino in four days, are to be built
by the shipping board. They will be
1000 feet long and of thirty knots
speed and will be equipped for use
as commerce d%estroyers in the event
of war.
Announcement was made today by
the board that plans for the ships had
been completed and that work on them
would be started soon. 1t is pro-
posed to provide a special terminal
for them at Fort Pond Bay, Long Is
land, and it may be that two similar
liners may be constructed later.
The ships will be fifty feet longer
than the famous Leviathan, now the
largest ship afloat, and will have a
gross tonnage of $4,000. Their draft
will be So feet, depth "a, beam 102 and
accommodation will be provided for
OOO saloon passengers, U second
cabin passengers and 1900 steerage
passengers.
The crew will number 1000 officers
and men and the ships will be of the
oil-burning type with a cruising ra-
dius Of 1000 miles, which will enable
them to complete a round trip on the
Atlantic without loading fuel over
seas. They will be driven by four pro-
p~ellers, on which will be thrown the
strength of 10000 horsepower.
In order that the vessels nay be
converted into ommerce destroyers
in time Of war, gun emplacements will
be built on the decks and the after
deck will be constructed with a view
of transforming it into a landing and
launching space for seaplanss.

HAD LOTS OF FUN
Mr.. GosIington's Experience That
of Many Others.
Who Wouldn't Feel Pleasure at Aav-
ing to Secure Larger Safe Deposit
Box for Liberty Bonds and
Other Valuables2

~ never would have thought it,
said Mr.. Goslington, but I've had to
get bigger Sate-depoSit box.
Before the great war | had a mod
est check account, and a little fund
slowed away in a savings bank for
emergencies, but no SafedepOsit box,
large or small. | had no use for one,
l had no stocks or bonds to keep in
one but when the war came and We
all began buying Liberty bonds it was
different. | didn't want to keep even
the little bonds that represented my
initial investment lying around in
bureau drawer or stored away in q
trunk, so | rented safe-depoSit box.
i had often read the advertisements
of the safe-depoSit companies telling
of how little you could get box for,
and from that on up, pleasant read
ing always, suggestive Of wealth and
coupon cutting, and that sort of
/ thing, and now the time had come
! when l needed a box myself; and II
was a very pleasant reflection. l
guess you know ale size box took.
Still, l thought that box would be
/ plenty big enough for me. l hadn't
many bonds to put in, you under
stand; but, do you know, as soon as |
got the box | found that had some
/ other things that really belonged In
it; insurance policies and some other
papers and documents that were OF
value to me for financial or other rea-
sons; and so while the bonds didn't
begin TO take all the room | soon
found that my little box was packed
so that | had to crowd the cover down
to get it to close.
And | will admit that the safe
deposit experience was a lot of fun
to me. 1t WAS real pleasure TO me
to have my box politely hauled out
for me from its deep pigeon hole in
the safe-dCpCSit vault; and it was a
pleasure To be shown To Il cubby hole
with door that | could close, and
where | found desk and pens and
ink and paper and shears and coupon
envelopes and SO on; il was pleasure
W NC al NllI-'A' l''HiI NN0A'AAiNi' S'A4NA
certainly did smile when | used those
shears for the first time, cutting off
coupons.
Then the time came when, as
bought more bonds, and what with the
other stuff in it, the box was 50 full
that they had hard work to crowd Il
into its pigeon hole and hard work
to pull it out, and then | simply had
to buy bigger box, and that was fun
too.
"Of course, you know l did not now
buy a large safe, or room with
shelves around to store my bonds on
nor did have TO hire a scissors sharp
ener to keep my coupon shears sharp
so that my clerks would not be de
layed in cutting the coupons. l may
come to that, why not? Stranger
things than that have happened t
other people, and l don't know why
they might not happen to me. Blu
meanwhile 1t was a satisfaction to me
to reflect that had at least outgrowI
the little box, even though for thu
time being l might be able TO ge
along nicely with one just the mex
size bigger."-New York Sun.

Bold Heat.

Another of the problems that our
army In France disposed Of In a prac-
teal way was the supplying of fuel
for heating and cooking purposes In
the trenches. Solidified alcohol filled
the bill because it was safe, conven-
lent to handle and burned without
odor or smoke. AS result Of the de-
mand, huge factories were built to
produce this novel fuel. Now new
uses must be found for the vast out
put of solidified alcohol.
Mr.. /. Pepper Of New York city
who made it's use Of such practical
value by inventions such as the mess
kit stove, airplane food carrier, dug
out heater and various other devices
has again come to our rescue by In
venting a special kind of portable
stove. ideal for picnies, camping, boat
ing and other outdoor excursions
The stove is made IL the form OF
suitcase of heavy steel and is provid
ed with a hinged drop which forms
the front of the stove when II II
erected. Folding feet beneath tn
stove serve to raise 1t an inch or 81
above the surface on which it may b.
placed. The fuel is supplied in tn
form Of cans, which tire placed be
