MOSCOW CONGRESSMAN SENDS
INTERESTING STORY, SIXTH
OF THE SERIES

Congressman French has writer
another very interesting letter from
France to his home paper, The Star
Mirror, this being the sixth letter he
has written, every one being filled
with interesting descriptions of his
trip. The letter follows:
Tours, France,

Editor The Star Mirror:

few matters pertaining to the coun-
try itself.
Brittany is. in the extreme west of
france. Her people are peculiar to
themselves. My first impression of !

the harbor of Brest was of a country |
largely devoted to agriculture and
stock growing and this is correct,

people have hard struggle. The

order over 100000 bearings had been
delivered.

Partition Walls and Fences.
Our party drove in autos over many
miles of Brittany, and nothing in this
old land is more unique than the fenc-

yards are all inclosed, and the proper

owner is divided and subdivided in

and may also be cropped by stock.
The dirt walls contain in many places
'apid growing trees, one kind of

opped off annually for wood The
lirt walls are also worked by the
growth of a shrub, constantly green
nd which bears a yellow flower,
characteristic of Brittany, and the
tone walls are largely adorned with

A special foundry for brass and
aluminium castings has been develop
ed at the Buick factory for making
crankcases and other parts of Buick
cars, and large part Of this trained
and well-equipped organization was
turned over to the making Of Liberty
motor crankcases when the order for
Liberty motors was placed with the
Buick Motor Company.
Beyond making new patterns, very
little change was necessary in the
foundry equipment. The furnaces,
travelling cranes, moulding machines,
core making equipment, ovens, con-
veyers and everything else necessary
for the making of high grade castings
was ready, and the same production
system used in the manufacture of
Buick crankcases was followed in

Bows Clothes Burned Off
When Bonfire Explodes

About thirty small boys basked at
dusk yesterday in fortunes smiles and
the warmth of fire they had kindled
in a vacant lot on st. Edwards Street,
near Myrtle Avenue, Brooklyn. They
were sure fortune was smiling on them,
for not only had policemen kept away,
but several cans Of paint-thinner had
fallen from wagon rafting past.
The boys suspected that the paint
thinner would improve the fire, the
label promising benzine and lemon oil
within. They tried it. The effect was
immediate and astonishing. There was
an explosion that flung a spray of blaz-
ing oil far and wide. Scarcely boy
in the circle escaped the rain of fire.
Nine of them, their clothing ablaze
ran into st. Edwards Street screaming.
Men from garage and several women
joined in tearing the burning clothes
from the boys, rolling the victims on
the ground and dousng them with
water.
Several of the boys ran home with
only their shoes and stockings remain
ing, but overwarm ct that. Four re
maned to be treated by an ambulance
surgeon from Brooklyn Hospital. One
of them, Ernest Sharkey, nine years
old a negro, of 45 ST Edwards Street,
was taken to the hospital.

Colonel Friedsam Reports
Idea Is Not Practicable:
Advertisements of Deal
ers Answering Purpose
Careful Buying Advised
Hoarding of Foodstufs Is
Declared to Have Become
a Lost Art i'm New York

Fair price lists governing the sale of
mems hats and shoes in this city are
not feasible and will not be compiled
and published, the sub committee on
drygoods, shoes and clothing Of the
Fair Price Committee notified Arthur
Williams, Federal Food Administrator,
in report issued yesterday. The re-
port was formulated under direction Of
Colonel Michael M. Friedsam, chairman
Of the committee, and was made
public by William A. Orr, it's secretary.
The report states that the advertise
ing by the larger firms amounts virtu-
ally to a price list, and smaller firms
are forced to restrict their profits be-
cause of these published figures. There
would be tendency, the report init
undersell the fair prices to advance
their quotations to equal the commit
tees. Stress is laid OH the public's
ability to limit the living cost by iu-
dicious and economical purchasing.
Committee Report Commended
MI. w llliGuIS, III CUHiliciiIIHS VII Jig
report, declared last night that Colonel
Friedsam and other members Of the
committee have rendered distinctive
public service in advancing the sugges-
tions embodied in the report. He said
he had been in constant touch with the
ub-committee In the course of the
investigation, he said, it was shown
that substantial shoes could be pur-
chased for as low as $3.50, while ser
viceable hat was shown to be obtain
able at SO.
"Hats were priced anywhere from
So to $780," Mr.. Williams said. "To the
economical purchaser there certainly
seems no evidences Of prohteering. The
fraudulent dealer is being rapidly elm
mated. while the public is beginning
to appreciate that honest dealers de-
serve their patronage and are not TAX
ing advantage Of the precarious situa-
ton to boost prices"
Mr.. Williams said the report of the
subcommittee does not mean its dis
banding. 1t will continue to act for
the fair price committee in all matters
relating to the traffic in clothing, dry
goods and shoes, he said.

lice power for reduction and control of
prices in these commodities"
United States Attorney f. G. Caffey
reported to Mr.. Williams yesterday on
the results of the inquiry of his Office
into alleged boarding here. According
to Mr. Williams's Interpretation Of it,
the report shows that boarding has
been virtually eliminated. The hold
ings and the mortgages on stored food
held by banks prove conclusively, Mr.
Williams said, that speculative storing
PLY lost art.
Present Holdings Reported
Some of the holdings reported in
cluded 1881 900 pounds of butter, of
which 10,464, 900 is held by numerous
independent dealers; 100000 by the
"Big Five" packers and 267,6OO by the
government; 9,77S,00O pounds of
cheese are held by independent deal
ors, 100000 pounds by packers and
$4,000 by the government; packers
hold 10000 cases Of eggs, compared
with 322, 900 held by other dealers and
none by the government; other 9th hold
ings include poultry, 3,492,o0o pounds
ers and l,205,O00 by the government;
beef. 15,76600O; pork, independents,
2.997, 900; big Five" 100000, and
government, l ,443, 900.
Fifty million pounds of beans, 26,-
100000 pounds of peas and 14,327 ,00C
pounds of rice were found in the local
warehouses by the United States At
torney's investigators. None of this is
deemed excessive by food market ex-
perts.
Loans Less Than Normal
The total loans made by banks or
foodstuffs held here was $4,000 1865 II
on September Is of this year, Mr.
Caffey reported. Mr.. Williams said
this meant $3.50 per capita in the city
even less than the normal amount
