Proved Her Patriotism.

During the war, woman proved
herself capable OF extreme sacrifice,
loyalty and patriotism and now man
feels more than ever that he can de-
pend on her. So quite naturally in
this national emergency, the women
of the land must come to the rescue.
Why has the cost OF living jumped
out Of all reason? Production costs
are being boosted every day by the in
sistent demands for higher wages and
shorter hours.
Higher wages add materially to the
cost of production and fewer hours Of
work lessen the amount Of production,
without in any way decreasing de-
mand. An increased demand and a
decreased production mean higher
prices as sure as night follows day.
Women Do the Buying.
Statistics show that nine-tenths of
the buying of necessities in this
country is done by women so that the
matter of decreasing the demand is
largely in their hands.
1t is especially important to cut
down on 'luXuries for if merchants
become convinced that the American
woman is determined to help cure
the present economic evil by sensible.
judicious buying, he will turn his at
tention to demanding sensible and
serviceatle merchandise from the
manufacturer. to supply the sensible
intelligent consumer.
This matter of buying is very
curious one. We are all, it seems, i'm
pressed more with the price tag than
anything else about the article we
wish to purchase Merchants all over

LABOR ASKS CHANGES
IN INDUSTRIAL PLANS
Gompers Will Submit Notifications
of Strike Court" Program When
Conference Reconyenes.

Labor, speaking through Samuel
Gompers, within the next few days
is expected to submit to President
Wilson's Industrial Commission list
of proposed changes in the tentative
plan for settling. capitaf-labor diff
culties.
The commissioners invite such
action, and would like to have repre-
sentatives of capital also come for
ward with proposals. Labor prob
ably will suggest more specific recog-
milton of collective bargaining, fiat
recognition of trades unions, el mi
nation OF anything that could be con-
strued as limiting the right to strike,
or compelling men to work agains,
their will, and also will recommend
that Government agencies be set up
to study and improve working con-
ditions.
Secretary Wilson, chairman of the
A., conference, heard with interest the
. adverse comment of Gompers and
Frank Morrison. secretary of the A.
+. L. I'VE welcome all constructive
criticism" he said.
Criticism is what the commission
asked for" another official declared.
1T will all be considered when the
commission reconvenes January L."
Other commissioners said labor's
cooperation in setting up strike
courts throughout the country, as
provided in the tentative plan, would
be sought and leaders would be asked
to participate in hearings.
Congressman are doubtful concern
ing the Federal Governments consti-
tutional power to create a strike
court" Senator Cummins of Iowa
pointed out that a somewhat similar
tribunal is provided for, with respect
to railroad employees, in the Cummins
railroad bill now in conference. He
has no doubt, he said, that the Gov
/ eminent has power to extend such q
provision to industry generally, but
recalled the Supreme Courts adverse
decision on the child labor law, in
which the same question was in
, volved.

HALLLAWYER TRIES
TOJUST|FY SHOTS
Counsel for Dry Agent Accused
of Staying Conducts Sharp
Cross.Examination.

MANASSAS, Va, Dec. 30.-In a des-
perate effort to show that State Pro-
hibition Inspector William c. Hall and
his deputies were Justified in pouring
fusillade of shots into the automobile
bearing eighteen-year-old Lawrence
d. Hudson and Raymond Shackleford
with case Of whiskey on the Valley
Turnpike in Shenandoah county last
March, L. c. wendenburg, chief coun-
sci for Hall this morning sharply
cross-examined Alfred Blye. who lives
near the scene of the tragedy.
Hall is on trial for the murder OF
Hudson. A jury in his trial for the
murder Of Shackleford last Septem-
Der, disagreed. The case is on trial
on change of venue from henandoah
county.
Explains Testimony.
Blye testified yesterday that he saw
the officers car coming around the
Bend of the road. His previous tesu-
mony had said that the car was stand
in, as If the officers were lying in
wait deliberately for the alleged rum
runners. Blye said his meaning had
been misunderstood and that the car
actually was stationary at the time.
Similar attacks were made yester-
day afternoon on the testimony OF
Mrs. Blye and of Miss Della Racey,
who also heard the shots and excla-
nations.
The prosecution scored when Blye
testified that he found twenty dis
charged shells and one loaded shell
on the scene. The prosecutor Is ex-
pected to show by this that the pro-
hibition inspectors kept firing after
fatally wounding the smugglers-
Several nurses from the Winchester
hospital arrived this morning to tes-
tify to the dying statement OF young
Hudson. which has not yet been ad-
mitted in the record.
Additional interest was injected into
the trial today by the arrival at Man
assas as Commonwealth witnesses Of
B. W. Bebout and Miss Viola Bebout
Of Richmond, father-in-iaw and sis
ter-in-law of Joseph F. Williams. star
witness for the defense.

Counsel for the defense in the Hall
case will object to the placing OF
either Mr.. Bebout or his daughter on
the stand, or to any reference before
the jury to the fact that young Will
liams is now under bail on another
charge.
Could Net See In Car. Clair.
Henry Rudy and Landon Ward, au-
tomobile experts, testified that it was
! impossible for a person standing in
front Of An automobile with the head
lights turned on to see back over the
! lights into the car. This would tend
to show that the prohibition inspec-
tors could not see the case Of whisky

Routine witnesses were II. Morri
son, jr, photographer; DR.. W. c. Ford
who performed the autopsy. and H
B. Garver. garage man at Woodstock
who testified to the riddled condition

the country have brought home to me
the really absurd way i'll which we,
as nation, buy. We see something
We like, and If it is only IS, when we
thought it would be $40. we imagine
that it Is not good and do not buy 1t.
High Price Sold Goods.
The following tale was brought to
me the other day. A merchant in New
York had a quantity of topcoats for
sale at $35. and he could not sell
them. AS the season passed. he be.
came worried and confided to friend
that he was going to lose a lot OF
money because he couldn't get rid OF
his stock
The friend, being apparently, among
other things, a psychologist, suggest
ed marking the coats at $55. His ar
gument was that the buying public
had adopted the frame of mind that
reasonably priced articles were cheap
in quality. To make a long and sad
story short, the coats were all sold
within week at the advanced price
So 1t would seem that some actual
knowledge on the subject Of value
received would aid us a great deal In
our everyday national shopping.
AS l see the situation. women can
absolutely control prices by buying
wisely and only what they need
When demand is curtailed and we
produce more than enough for our
needs, the cost of living will come
down. Wages cannot so up while re-
tail prices are going down, and sc
the whole economic situation will be
stabilized

Fundamental differences over Ar
ticle Ten of the League of Nations
covenant are holding up and threat
ening to defeat efforts at compro-
mise, mild reservationists said today.
Gulf Not Bridged.
Although half a dozen sets OF com
promise reservations have been writ
ten, both by Democrats and Repub-
licans, not one so far has bridged the
differences on this article.
This difference is that President
Wilson and those who agree with his
construction proceed upon the as
sumption that article 10 puts a moral
obligation upon the United States to
help prevent external aggression
against any member-nation, while the
Lodge reservationists and the mild
reservationists decline to accept the
blanket obligation
Therefore In writing reservations
or interpretations on this article
Democrats admit the obligation while
Republicans deny it.
The nearest approach to reconcil
ing these two views has been made
by Senator King of Utah, who has
drafted a set OF reservations which
he is now submitting to Democratic
and Republican Senators for their
comment
Kings reservation provides that
whatever obligation may exist shall
not become binding until Congress so
determines His reservation neither
aI ha Of ha
obligation, but gives Congress power
to decide whether there is one and
how IL shall be met.
Mild reseryationists refused to ac-
cept Kings proposal Senator Nc
Nary. mild" leader, to whom King
submitted Ii, said il would not do.
The Republican reservationists all in
sist that the reservation must MAKE
clear that the general obligation is
not accepted.
An article 10 reservation submitted
to McNary by a Democratic Senator
provides for insertion in the Lodge
reservation of the words "by the use
of military or naval forces" follow
ing the. declaration that the United
States declines to assume obligation
TO guarantee and protect territorial
integrity. This Democratic proposal
also includes alteration of the word
unless to until in the Lodge
reservation. 50 that IL will read tha,
the United States declines the obliSa-
tion until Congress has determined
whether one exists.
Senator Hitchcock has said Prrsi-
dent Wilson will not yield on the
question of obligation. but is willing
10 let Congress say how the oblig n
tion shall be met. Lodge says his
forces won't yield on the Obligation
point So far as article 10 Is con-
cerned. therefore, Senators are begin
ming to admit that the deadlock Is
still unbroken.
