Washington Prices are beginning
to decline in various parts of the coun.

cred momentum sufficient to saffect
purchases being made for immediate
use, according to reports to the de,
partment of justice.
Attorney General Palmer. asked how
soon results could be expected from
the campaign to reduce the cost of
living, said all the government wanted
was fair chance to show what can
be done to take the artificial initiation
out of the market. He said officials
were well pleased with the success SO

suits were expected when congress
enacts amendments to the food control

SIMON LAKE, U-BOAT INVENTOR

Simon Lake has been at work
perfecting the modern submarine since
1896. And while he was. perfecting the
submarine for destruction he was also
evolving one for salvage Today his
plans are complete, and out in Long
Island sound lies the submarine.
The device is apparently simple.
A noncollapsible steel tube permits the
salvers to have an operating base on
the floor of the ocean. A flight of
stairs run down this tube. One end
of the tube is attached to the surface
vessel and the other to an operating
chamber. Water-ballast tanks are
distributed throughout its length so
that the structure can be placed In
equilibrium with the water when ready
for submergence.
Under perfectly normal conditions
a man can walk down these stairs to
the bed of the sea. He can step from
the submarine and walk in perfect
safety and comfort on the floor Of the

cluding $4,000 each to former Presi-

for my wife beyond her desires, and
ample to enable her to provide for our
beloved daughter, Margaret, and being
unable ii judge at present what pro-
vision for our daughter will best pro-
mote her happiness, l leave to her
mother the duty of providing for her

His name is in the headlines now, and
will stay there a long time. The spot

dramatic suddenness. He is a corpO.
ration lawyer who gained his expert

the assertion that the railroad unions
aim ito eliminate the motive Of
operation for profit and substitute the
motive Of operation for service" to
which he adds the Corollary that lit

which democracy in politics is a mere
shell and sham"
He lives with his family in Chevy
