PRoFITEERs AND PRoFITEERs

One of the defenders of the pock-
ct book of the salaried man protests
against the advance in the price of
collars that cost five cents to thirty
six cents each. 1t does look like the
collar manufacturers might have a
heart. We suppose the government
will not concern itself with collar
manufacturers that charge two and
three times what their product is
worth. 1t will be busy with the pack
ers who are making twelve and fif-
teen per cent.
The same may be true with cloth
ing. Wool has been selling around
seventy-fve cents a pound, about
twice the pre-war price. There may
be three or four pounds of wool in a
suit of clothes, and the increased cost
of forty cents a pound would run the
cost of raw material in a suit of
clothes up two dollars. Increased cost
of lining, buttons and button holes
might increase the cost to three and
three and half dollars There has
been an advance in blue serge suits
from twenty-five dollars to fifty-two
dollars, and this week Moultrie deal
er received instructions to increase
his price eight dollars a suit, making
it even sixty dollars for the ordinary
stock suit worn by salaried men. How
is the thirty-fve dollars suit increase
distributed? Could the government
get the facts in the case for us? And
if you listen to the clothing drum
mers you will be convinced that there
will soon be no more clothes. We
will all be standing in barrels in two
or three years.
The oil trust has been considered
the grand champion trust of the
world, and yet the price of gasoline
has stood at one figure for many
months, despite the unsettled condi-
tions in Mexico, the increased de-
mands occasioned by the war and by
the mushroom growth of the automo-
bile and truck business. Have the
clothing makers and shoe makers any
more excuse for putting up prices
than the oil trust?
We have an idea that the great
est offenders in the profteering bust
ness are neither at the top or the bot
tom. They are wedged in about the
center. They should be smoked out.

THE SALVATION ARMY
CONVERTED ". MASON

Walt Mason, one of our best be-
loved poets, has been converted by the
Salvation Army workers in Los An
geles, California. Mason, who is
genius, has tramped every section of
the country. He has been friendly
with the Salvation Army for a long
while, but recently Corps No. l, of
Los Angeles, was engaged in street
services as Mason passed by and the
call of the Army drum was too much
for him, and he became converted.
Brigadier Boyd, of Los Angeles, is
loud in his praises for Walt Mason.
In his characteristic style, Mason
wrote the following poem about his
conversion by the Salvation Army:
zone night while walking down the
street, my mind on pleasure bent
1 sought the pleasures of the world,
but my soul was not content saw

One of our greatest Industrial staples is
cotton. Its consumption can be largely
increased by developing new fabrics in

, BIZARRE CLUES.

1t was Saturday. The funeral
Of Miss Darlington had been held
the day before and the imposing
obsequies had been entirely in
keeping with her love Of elaborate
display in life. The casket was
of the richest, the flowers piled
mountain high, the music, the
most expensive available; for the
young people in charge had felt
at incumbent on them to arrange
everything as Miss Lucy would
have desired it.
It was a pathetic commentary
on the character of the dead wom-
an that, while all who mourned
her felt the shock and horror Of
her death, they were not deeply
bowed with sorrow. Pauline, as
nearest relative, would naturally
grieve most, but for the moment
her affections were lost sight of in
the paralyzing effects of the sud
den tragedy.
Anita Frayne had practically
Hgone to pieces" She was ner-
vous, and jumped twitchingly if
any one spoke to her.
Gray Haviland was %reticent, an
unusual thing for him, and devot-
ed most of his time to matters of
business connected with the es-
tate.
Estelle, the maid, had sue
cnmbed to a nervous breakdown,
and had been taken to a nearby
santorium, where she INDUCED in
frequent and violent Mysteries.
Tho household was in a contin-
ual excitement. Lawyers and de-
itectives were coming and going,
neighbors were calling, and e.
porters simply infested the place.
Pauline and Anita, though out
wardly polite, were not on good
terms, and rarely talked together.
But this morning the two girls
and Haviland were called to a
confab by Hardy, the detective.

watching him to see how he tookit

watching him TO see how ne tooklt.
He didn't take it very well. The
acknowledged presence of an out
slider in the house, for a not very
plausible reason, was illuminating
in his estimation. She had been on
the stairway. Had she been to Miss
Darlington roomf True, she said
she went only to the landing-but
pshaw, women, had no regard for
the truth! Had she and Count
Charlier planned between them to
bah, why did this woman want
to kill her neighborf Even if she
were jealous Of the Counts attsn-
ton, would she 60 so far as
crimef No, of course notl He
must question her further. And,
yet, what good would that do if
she would not tell the trNthY
Well, she was in the house at
IL 80, that much was certain, for
Stephen Illsley's story and her
own and also the buffers testi-
mony all conceded as to that.
And then Detective Hardy, who
had just returned from a short
errand, made a startling state
ment. He declared that the glove
which had been found clasped
tightly in the dead fingers Of the
late Miss Darlington did belong
to Count Henri Charlier.
! Mr.. Hardy had ben searching
the Counts wardrobe; and,
though he did not find the mate
to that particular glove, he found
many others, some worn and some
entirely unused, but all Of the
same size and made by the same
firm as the one now in the coro-
ner's ~possesionl
Thus cornered Count Charlier
reluctantly admitted that it was
his glove.
81 denied it," he thus excused
himself, "because l. have no idea
how it came into Miss Caring
tons possession, and l did not wish
to implicate her in an affair with
my unworthy self"
Him." thought Gray Havi-
land, fixing his attention on the
Count and og. the flustered Mrs;
buckingham "a precious pair Of
adventures! / expect Scofield
is right, we won't need an expert
detective"
There was more of the inquest.
But it's continuance brought out
no developments not already here
transcribed. There was much
cross questioning and probing;
there was much rather futile cf-
fort to make all the strange de-
tails fit any one theory /; there was
variance of opinion; and there
was more or less discussion.
But, as a final result, the coro-
ner's jury brought in a verdict
that Miss Lucy Darlington met
her death by poison administered
by q person or persons unknown,
who thereafter, probably for the
purpose Of diverting attention
from the poison, struck her a blow
on the head. The jury in their
deliberation felt that Count Henri
Charlier was implicated. But, not
having sufficient evidence to
make a charge, suggested to the
detective force that he be kept
under surveillance.
