GATHERING UP DUDS"
Italy Finds Many Million Projectiles
Which Failed to "Do Their Duty
Work Still Goes On.

Rome - General Rudoglio, under
chief of the general staff, has pre-
scented the minister for reconstruction
of the invaded territories, Sig. Fra
deletto, his report on the recovery OF
unexploded projectiles and bombs In
the zone of war, and in the localities
where the principal battles occurred.
From the beginning of the war TO
October II, 1918, 100000 did not ex-
plode. Up to November l. 1917, there
were collected about 100000 unex-
ploded bombs. From 1917 TO the end
of hostilities, about 100000 unexplod-
ed projectiles were found.
The raking of the ground to find
them goes on actively; but it will be
long time before the work generally
has been completed.

So Says George N. Peek Chair
man of the New Industrial
Board.
HOW STEEL PRICE WAS CUT
Chiefs Of Industry Called in by Peek
and Matter Is Finally Settled
No Government Control, but
Purely voluntary
Arrangement.

Washington-"The is every rea-
son to expect lower food prices in
the relatively near future"
So speaks George N. Peek, chair
man of the new industrial board of
the department of commerce.
Peek describes the industrial board
as "the doctor to American business"
He believes the patient should be
well on the way to recovery within
sixty to ninety days.
And after six months of conva
lescing, American business should be
healthier and more prosperous than
ever" he asserts.
Doctor" Peek Is now diagnosing
the ailments of the industries which
produce the basic necessities, such as
steel, coal, lumber, brick and build
ing materials. Already he and his as
sistants have brought about reduc-
ton of 10 to Is per cent in the prices
of steel. When the prices of these
commodities have been brought down.
then the board will go after food
prices.
How the System Works.
There's no government control about
it; it's purely a voluntary arrange
ment.
Here's about the way it works
not so informally perhaps, but along
these general lines:
Down in the wood-and-paper build
ing where the council of national de-
Tense has given quarters to the indus
trial board there's committee room,
with long, plain table and few
plain chairs.
Into this room Chairman Peek calls
Judge Gary of the United States Steel
corporation, Charles HI. Schwab of
Bethlehem Steel and other steel mag
mates. They all come willingly.
"Now, judge" says Chairman Peek.
You know darn well steel prices are
too high. Nobody's buying any steel
because they can't afford it. Now it
seems to me 1t would pay you to cut
the price, even if yoE do, lose little
by it, so that people would buy What
do you say?"
'.Sure." says Judge Gary. flickfng

FOOD PRICE is

the ashes off his cigar. I'm willing.
III cut prices 10 per cent, If that suits
the rest of you"
That's all right" says Charlie
Schwab. But l think some things
could be cut 10 per cent"
That's too much" says some other
magnate, 81 think u per cent would
be better"
So they agree on - per cent. Then
they take pad of paper and a pencil
and figure out just what they'll charge
for various commodities. This sched-
ule Is put into shape, and they all
sign an agreement not to charge more
than it says they'll charge-and there
you are!
One of the best things about this
new and novel method of price fixing
is that labor is perfectly protected.
The industrial board looks after that.
1t will permit no cut in prices that
will give the employers a chance to
cut wages. So long as the cost of
living remains high, wages must re-
main high, the board holds. so that
the living standard shall not be low
cred.
Business to Bear Shock.
The theory underlying the whole ar
rangement is that big business. still
holding its profits made during the
war, is in far better position to
stand the first shock of REIMBURSEMENT

Several days ago, Just before the

Gambling Common

Berlin.-Gamblin has so in

Street gambling is not always
