Consumer to Benefit
By Breaks in Market

WASHINGTON. Aug. 3o.-Unless
w reduction in wholesale food
prices, resulting from sharp breaks
on the produce markets, are passed
on to the consumer, vigorous puni-
tive action will be taken by the De-
partment Of Justice, it was said to-
day. Since most dealers now are CO.
operating in the campaign to reduce
living costs, officials said the fower
wholesale prices should be reflected
on the retail market soon.
Profiteering in sugar virtually
has ceased, according to Judge
Ames, assistant to the Attorney
General, in charge of administering
the food control law. Eleven cents,
he said, now is accepted as the Just
price by dealers throughout the
country.

Favored Aliens
Calder Also Accused by At
torney General of Oppos-
ing U. S. Control of Ger
man Owned Property

WASHINGTON, Aug. 30.-A. Mitchell
Palmer, whose nomination as Attorney
General was confirmed yesterday by
the Senate, came back vigorously to-
day at Senator Frelinghuysen, Repub-
lican, of New Jersey, leader of the
forces in the Senate which had for a
number Of weeks held up confirmation
of the nomination.
Charging that Mr.. Frelnghuysen was
constantly active in behalf of German
property owners in the United States
during the war and attempted to in
1uence legislation which would affect
adversely companies in which he per-
sonally was interested financially, the
Attorney General gave detailed ac-
count of alleged activities of the New
Jersey Senator while this country was
at war with Germany.
Calder Also Mentioned
Senator Calder, Republican, Of New
York, also was referred 20 in Mr.
Palmer's statement.
"No American interest has asked Nor
any Investigations Of the Alien Prop
erty Custodian" Mr.. Palmer declared.
mo American interest is complaining;
the Germans are complaining very
severely. Senators Frelinghuysen and
Calder are pleasing Germany in this
business. They have received special
mention by the German Foreign Office
for their activities, which Germany
hopes may result in the Germans get
ting all their property back. / have q
copy of my alien property report
printed in Berlin in German, with an
introduction signed Foreign Office

this document: THAT the administra-
tion of alien property is considered not
without suspicion in the United States
herself, is evident in the action take 7
by the Senate because of the resou-
tion presented last February by Sena-
tors Frelinghuysen and Calder, de-
mandipg an investigation Of the Alien
Property Custodian, because of misap-
preparation and favoritism SO far as
|is here known the Senate also has re-
fused TO appoint Mr.. Palmer as At
torny General. 1t is hoped that this
investigation will lead to just in
quiry into the management of the
alien property and to fairer judgment
of German measures.
Enemy Trading Act Opposed
MIR. Palmer declared Senator FIRE.
linghuysen was not really antagonistic
to him, but to the trading with the
Enemy act which he had administered,
and che has been especially against
the Americanization of the industrial
concerns in America owned by our
enemies and heretofore used in a hos
tile way against this country's inter
ests."
While the act was under consid era
tion, Mr.. Palmer said, quoting the
official record of the hearings, Mr..
Frelinghuysen introduced to the Senate
Committee on Commerce, Neal Bassett,
who strongly urged that enemy owned
insurance companies in this country
should not be disturbed.
Insurance Interest Charged
"Mr. Bassett was followed by SEN
ator Frelinghuyscn with statement
designed to support his arguments. y
Mr.. Palmer said, "but Senator Freling-
huysen did not tell the committee he
was at that time financially interested
in four insurance companies whose re-
lations with German Companies would

Combination of COlOrs

This season offers the opportunity
for the smart combination of colors
in millinery and frocks. Odd trim
ming appears on the hats, such as
lunches of raisins in large variety
of colorings appliqued fatty to a small
hat of crysanthemum straw. The
most riotous of colors are used in hat
trimmings, but they must be applied
with care so that the effect will be
a work of art rather than a makeshift
The color combination is prominent
in frocks of Georgette. The most de-
sirable effects are obtained when a
dark color is used over a light and
brighter one. This lends a subtle
charm to the color which will double
the attractiveness of the dress.

Pockets Again

Huge pockets of triangular shape
gave the skirt an individual look. For
pockets are everywhere now. Dainty
frocks of fine organdie have delicately
embroidered pockets, and there is no
end to the variety that the sports skirt
features. A sports skirt of turquoise
blue wool, knitted in purling effect,
favors large circular pockets of light
gray wool. Stunning indeed is this
sports skirt, and durable, too, for the
wool wears well and the color is suf-
ficiently dark to warrant its remain
ing clean and fresh looking for a
reasonable length of time.
Sports blouses of flannel find the
pocket an ideal trimming. Smart
women at the winter resorts are wear
ing these attractive things at outdoor
meets and for early morning strolls.
They are usually developed in pastel
shades and worn with knitted or Geor-
gette satin skirts.

WOMEN WORKERS WILL
RECEIVE BRONZE MEDALS

Every woman who works for the

ization of the Washington Woman's
Liberty Loan Committee will wear Il
bronze medal made from a captured
German cannon. This was the word
received at the state headquarters this
week by Mrs. Overton G. Ellis, state
chairman.
County and city chairmen have been
authorized to forward to Mrs. Ellis
the number of Victory Loan workers
who will be enlisted in the service of
the final war loan, that the medals
may be ordered at once at Washing
ton.
Organization of the Washington

Thirteen hundred and forty acres OF
farm land are now devoted to agricul-
tural experimentation in Washington,
according to the twenty-eighth annual
report of the director of the expert
ment station, now in the press.
Five hundred acres of this land are
included in the experiment station
farm at Pullman, where the most fun
damental problems of Washington ag-
riculture and farm industries in gen
eral are undertaken.
The Adams branch station at Lund,
consisting of 800 acres, is devoted en-
tirely to questions pertaining to the
dry belt of the state. The Watervllle
branch station, in Douglas county, in
cludes 22O acres, and is undertaking
forage problems mainly, and is at
tempting to develop a more permanent
system of agriculture under conditions
prevailing there.
The Winthrop station in Okanogan
county consists of five acre tract
with stock sheds and yards, and is de-
voted exclusively to studies of the
goitre disease of animals.
The newly founded Prosser expert
ment station, in Benton county, con-
sists of 2O5 acres of unimproved land
selected for the development of exper-
iments and Investigations of the many
problems that confront irrigation far
mers. The potential Importance if
this new station is suggested by the
facts that in 1918 the Yakima and We
natchee valleys nearby yielded over
$50, 100000 in irrigated products; and
the estimated codling moth loss of the
Yakima valley is put at two million
| dollars.
The Western Washington expert
| ment station is located at Puyallup, in
Pierce county, and occupies ninety
acres of land, all of which is devoted
to studies and Investigations of farm
problems arising under western Wash
ington conditions.
In addition to the above, there is
cranberry station at Ilwaco, in Pacific
county, devoted entirely to studies OF
insects injurious to cranberries.

Shimmery skirts of Georgette satin
are trimmed with rows of buttons.
Some are large and again others are
so tiny that when placed closely to-
gether the effect is much like an IL
regular silk cording. But the range
of good taste is wide concerning the
size and shape of the buttons used,
and the result is the combination of
two different style buttons on the
same skirt or blouse.
The one-piece dresses for spring are
heavily leaden with buttons. And
there is no doubt that buttons will

Spring is surely in the air. The re-
freshing breezes instill in every
woman a longing for a new fresh
wardrobe. Already the avenue is
spotted with bright flowery hats, and
fur coats are giving prestige to suits.
Most of these early spring suits are
fur trimmed, and those that are not

fox scarf about her shoulders.

The box-coat that was predicted to
lose out in favor has not as yet been
cast aside, and many exclusive models
are made along these lines. One of
particular merit that was shown was
developed in beige-colored tricotine
trimmed with wide hercules braid of
lighter shade. The braid was APP
piled around the lower edge of the
coat in four bands about one inch
apart. The same scheme of trimming
was used on the skirt, which was
rather long and extremely narrow.
The coat was slightly cut away at the
front and vest of beige linen proudly
asserted itself.
