ALLEN co. EX0NERATED
BY TRADE COMMISSION

On June The Times. in describing
an order OF the Federal Trade Com
mission, used the following headline:
Charges Dismissed Against Tip Pur-
loiner."
The article stated that the Federal
Trade Commission had dismissed its
complaint against the Allen Sales
Service. Inc, and Q. Louis Allen. its
president, but had issued an order TO
desist from engaging in certain unfair
practices against a former officer OF
the Allen Sales Service, Inc
The headline was unfortunate in the
language used. 1t was not intended
to convey any intimation that Mr.
Alien or the Allen Sales Service. Inc.
had in any way violated the law or
stolen any information from q COM
petitor. In fact, as The Times is glad
TO repeat, the findings OF the Federal
Trade Commission not only complete
ly exonerated both Mr.. Allen and the
Allen Sales Service, Inc, from all
charges of unfair practices and viola
tions OF the law. but showed that in
the matters investigated they had
acted in an unusually high-minded
way

APRICOT PRICES SOAR
TO 5 CENTS PER POUND

LOS ANGELES, Aug. 13.-One
hundred dollars a ton-five cents
ia pound. That is the price to
which apricots in southern Califor-
MIA have climbed this season. AS
a result, the crop in this section
of the state will return to growers
more than $75,O0O,O 600. Never be-
fore in the history of the industry
has the fruit reached these prices.
Buyers of fruits for canning from
practically every large country in
the world, are here offering almost
any price for the fruit on the trees
and the demand exceeds the sup
ply to such an extent that unless
housewives here buy at once, there
will be no fruit left for home can
ming purposes.
The rapid rise in the market
value of the fruit is due to the post
war demand of foreign nations, &C
cording to the growers. Prior to
the war, apricots sold in the Los
Angeles market at approximately
$40 a ton for the highest grade
fruit. Hundreds of IONS of fruit
were ~unasalable and growers suf-
fered heavy losses.
