TO KEEP UP PRICES
No Chance That Dresses VIII Be
Cheaper, Dealers Say.


The prices of dresses are as firm
today as they ever were in the history
of the industry, and there is no posi-
bility of any drop on account of the ex-
listing conditions in the trade.
A statement to this effect was made
by Executive Director David N.
Mosessohn, of the Associated Dress In
dustries of America, the national or
ganization of dress manufacturers.
Mosessohn pointed out that while
manufacturers generally are doing ev-
erything within their power to keep
confronted with many serious prob
order to quote prices on their mer-
chandise which will attract the buyer
and the ultimate consumer.
Mosessohn said that if the manufac-
turers of dresses were to operate on a
basis of profit equal to the figure in
other industries, the prices on dresses
would be much higher than they
are today, and would shock the aver
age woman who wants to buy one.
The raw material situation is grow
ing worse each week." said Mr.. Moses
sohn, land the labor situation is not
showing any signs of improvement.
Not. only is there a scarcity of desir-
able labor, but production is at the
low end. Some stocks of raw mater
ials," he added, ARE in the hands of
jobbers and spectators who are
charging abnormal prices for mer-
chandise, creating an unprecedented
condition in the industry and inflict-
ing a great many hardships on. the
manufacturers turnout the country" D.

TWO SANTA FE GAMES
SemI-Pros Play FOstoria and Usage
City Saturday and Sunday.

The Santa Fe baseball club of To-
peka has two games scheduled. Satur-
day the Santa Fe plays the fast Fos-
toria ball club. This team has played
twenty-five games and has not suf-
fered a defeat this year. Sunday the
locals play, Usage City. Both games
will be played at Western League
park. Saturdays game will start
promptly at $3.50 p. m. and Sundays
game will start at 8 o'clock.
The Santa Fe team is a fast semi
professional club and deserves the en-
couragement and support of Topeka
fans. A good attendance will help re-
vive sports here and possibly put To-
peka back in the Western league next
year. Visiting clubs have to be guar
anteed a sufficient sum to meet trav-
cling expenses and unless the home
team gets the support necessary to
meet it's financial obligations it cannot
have outside attractions.
