DIR. PRATT TALKS OF PRICES.
Blames Government Incompetence
in Part for Living Cost.

High prices are due to government
tai Incompetency to large extent.
according to DR.. L. T.. Pratt. former
chief of the bureau of foreign and
domestic commerce. in an address at
the fifth annual conference of the New
York state credit men at Rochester,
n. Y
DR.. Pratt stated that there are only
two real remedies for high prices:
at any rate, there are only two reme-
dies for high prices that go to the
real root of the problem, and these
remedies are: First, lessened produc-
ton of money. and. second increased

tion of the young mans parents.
Extremely prudential it all may
seem, but one should remember that
this dowry is not to be employed by
the husband for his personal use. but
as a trust fund for the maintenance
of the expected children. If the wife
dies childless the dowry will. in all
probability. revert to her family; the
theory of the affair is that such prop
erty belongs not to the individual
either husband or wife-but to the
family as an institution"

determined by these two tests.
IF any action by our government
or by private individuals tends to
lessen the production of goods, such
action is a direct cause of increased
high prices. If our coal miners strike
for higher wages and shorter hours.
the strike itself and the higher wages
and shorter hours themselves are
causes of increased prices. If our
government levies an income tax that
puts premium on wastefulneSs and
thereby decreases the possible pro-
duction of goods, our government
participates as cause of higher
prices Every element of the situa-
tion that does not tend to a greater
and more economical production of
merchandise in this country is an
added factor in the mounting scale
of prices"

Family Habit of Consultation.

There is constant consultation with
parents and relatives by sons and
daughters of advanced years-a form
of consultation scarcely ever heard of
in an American family.
If a Frenchman of thirty or thlr-
| tv-fve proposes changing his profess
| sion he may consult not only his fa-
| ther and his mother, but the entire
! family group; the proposed marriage
| of q daughter or son is often an
occasion for council of the entire
clan. including distant relatives that
! in America would hardly be included
! in our family tree.
"The world has been fond of point
| ing out that the French language has
| no word for home 1t has word
! possibly even more tender. What
meaning is in the sound of foyer! 1t
| includes the concept of hearthstone
and much more. 1t brings to the
| French mind and heart all the ideals,
! activities and dreams of a close, in
| ner circle where obedience is joy.
| respect a willing observance, and love
| an ever-present radiance.
"The foyer is not for the outside
world: only behind the locked doors

| Question of Courtship.
| Perhaps some youthful American

asked. How can there be any court

Housewife Economical.

probably there is not in the world
the equal of the French housewife in
economy and efficiency. Before the
war wages were astonishingly low in
France, and there must have been con-
tinual squeezing of each franc; but,
thanks to the ability of the French
wife. who could tell from outside evil
dence that there was unusual stint
ing in the average home?
ITO see a French woman bargain at
the market is to learn much in eco
nomics, mathematics = and oratory.
She simply refuses to pay the first
price quoted; her genius for getting
what you can is admira BILE.
with such women, is it any marvel
that the French home is SO admirably
united? The family is the primal So
cial fact in France, and the parents
are the fundamental fact without
which the organism (the family) could
never have come into being. Hence
there is a reverence for parents equal
ed probably only by the ancestral wor-
ship of China. Indeed, it is very doubt
full whether the love between husband
and wife equals that existing between
parent and child.

Political Feud May Be Cause Of
 Many Suits FACTORY IS NOT CRIPPLED
Unconfr1ned Rumor Says Strikers Will Not Be Reinstated-Union Briefs,

The suit of Constable Philip Marine against John E, Conlon. which excited so much interest and comment some time ago, was revived yesterday when it came before Judge Edward l.. Smith in the court of common pleas in Hartford.
 Marine sued Conlon in the local justices court about three months ago, alleging that Conlon instigated a malicious and yeXatious suit against him. Marine was awarded damages of $100 and Conlon appealed. Marine was represented by Judge Epaphrodl- tus Peck of Bristol, and ConIon re- tained Attorney Patrick T. O'Brien of Meriden. According to the evidence introduced in court, Mrs. Lillian Stone had an unlicensed dog. Marine called and told her that she could be fined $7 for not having the animal registered, but she was short of money and could raise only $2.25, the amount needed to have the dog regis tered, Rnd to pay the penalty for not having it registered at the proper time. She claimed that Marine want ed S5 in addition to what she paid him and she told him that she would have it on the following Saturday. Marine came to her later, bringing the receipt for the dog license and, according to Mrs. Stones story, which led to the controversy fin the local court, collected fee of $3 He re- turned $1 to her, leaving as Mrs. Stone stated. a fee of s2 which Ma rlno collected from her.
 ConlOn, who had formerly been dog warden, heard of the incident, and called on Mrs. Stone. He accompa- n1ed her to Southington where they called on Lawyer H. c. Camp, who brought suit against Marino for re- coVery of the money. The case came before Justice of the Peace Edward E. Frlor and judgment was entered for Marlno and costs of s4SO were levied on Mrs. Stone.
 Attorney Camp then filed another suit against Marino and all Mrs Stone could recover was $2, and Marine

brought counter suit for $4.S0, mal- ing bis claim against her greater than the amount she attem pted to recover, The case was contin ued In the local court for some time and then judg- ment was entered in favor of Marine. Marino then alleged that it was Con- lon who instigated the suit brought by Mrs, Stone, and filed the suit which was before Judge Smith yesterday. Conlon's defense was that he had probable cause for asking Mrs. Stone to consult Lawyer Camp and that, therefore, he is not liable in damages to Marine.
 Mrs. Stone was a witness in Ma rino's favor, and Lawyer Camp was a witness on the side Of Conlon. Other Plainvile people were also witnesses.
 The case of Marine vs. Conlon has dragged along for months and has ex- cited much comment The men have been political rivals and al the time Conlon served the complaints in the two suits against MarinO he was also a constable in Plainville. Tn the elec- tion last October, COnlon was defeated for election on the democratic ticket while Marine was elected on the re- publican ticket.
 Marine did not deny that he had collected S3, but stated that he was justified in taking the money. as the law in regard to the redemption of dogs in the pound provides the pay ment of s3 to the warden. Tn addi- tiOn to returning $1 to Mrs. Stone he says that he bought collar for the dog, SO that he got very little out of the money The case was not decided yesterday.

 The Rock weil-Drake factory was in operat ton yesterday in spite of the ia ct that about 200 machinists were out on strike. R. B.
