ministration came into existence the
Food administrators of New York city
and New York state joined forces with
the federal commission. What the
United States officers could not do the
State Food Commission did for them.
Pennsylvania has no law on her books
defining proftcering in foodstuffs,
much less Furnishing it. There was only
the national food law. Now that the
war is over that law is imperative ex-
cept in reference to boarding food and
one or two other features. And right
here rises the question:
But you reached the corner grocer
when the food administration was ac-
tive and punished hundreds of
them. why isn't it possible to do so
now?"
The question is easily answered. The
corner grocer during the war was
reached through the "big fellow; -
through the license; the wholesaler or
retailer who did a business of more
than 500, 900 year. The process was
known as the unfair order" The
first case occurred in Pittsburgh.
Cites Hepburn's Work
Mr.. Hepburn devised the plan. He
tried it in Pennsylvania and it was a
success. Then Washington adopted 1t
and notified every state administrator in
the Union that it was the one successful
way to reach the small, mean profiteer
who preyed on the poorer people.
Wherever cone gocer or any
othe kind of grocer of the smalle class
and they comprise 95 per cent of the
whole-was caught profiteering he was
given the choice of closing for GER
tain length of time or going out of bust
ness entirely, or making a contribution
| to the American Red Cross. He usual
| ly made the contribution and often II
| addition closed his store from thirty tc
ninety days.
Wherever a corner grocer or an othe'
kind of grocer Of the smaller cias
| food administrator and accept his pen
atty there were two methods of reach
! ing him. His case could be taken t'
! the United States Court. But that wa
! uncertain aud slow. The most effective
method was to shut off his supplies
His name was placed upon the 'untal'
list" Under the law no wholesaler OF
| licensed dealer could sell to person OF
firm on the unfair list" If he did Sc
his license was revoked and he wa
put out of business till the end OF th'
war. That meant ruin.
Within a week or ten days the de
! fant grocer found that his stock wa'
going down and he could not replenlsl
it. Nobody would sell to him. Ill
business was headed for ruin. To saw
himself he was compelled to acknowl
edge the power of the food administra
ton and accept his penalty.

SILENT POLICEMAN
 FOR CLIFF STREET CORNER

There is a probability that silent policeman may be placed at the cor ner of Main street and Cliff street in order to obViate the liability to auto mobile accidents there. Several auto mobile owners and drivers have called the attention of the police commits sioners to this spot and the practice of automobile drivers shooting across there at high speed in order to make the Cliff street hil.
 A silent policeman at this point, these automobile men say. would obEge drivers to defect from straight line in order to get around it, and would make it less likely that they would shoot the hill. practice that Is dangerous, as this neighborhood is one where there are many children who are likely to be in the street and to be put in peril by cars running at high speed.
 This way of gathering speed for the Cliff street hill also presents the dan ger of collision with other machines coming westward along Main street alongside the Chelsea Savings bank sidewalk, these automobile drivers say.
 Councilman James J. Harrington of the police commissioners was looking over the spot. on Wednesday afternoon.
