WASHINGTON, Sept 20e-rhe Depart
ment Of Justice yesterday failed to
make public figures TO substantiate tho
statement authorized from the ONCE OF
the attorney general Thursday night
that retail prices had fallen from 10 TO
- per cent. in twelve States since the
fair price committees began their work.
Nor did the department give out sta-l
tistics to back up the additional state-t
ment that wholesale prices had de-
clned from 2 to per cent. In four
States.
The estimated decreases in retail
prices which Department OF Justice
officials said had been compiled from
reports that had been received by the
department from various communities
where the price committees were oper-.
ating virtually are in conflict with the
figures on price fluctuations recently
by other government depart

Prince Georges to Have a Social
Worker and Public Nurse.

The Prince Georges County Chapter
of the Red Cross has secured the SER
vices of Miss Agnes Ferriter of Rich
mond Virginia, as Social Worker for
the County. This youngi lady is a
graduate sof the Richmond School of
Philanthropy and Red Cross .4&Home
Service Institute; has done Juvenile
Court Work, Travellers Aid and War
Camp Community Service. Since the
Armistic she has adore ssed herself to
the Red Cross Home Service and is
familiar with rural problems. Her Of
tice will be at the Red Cross Head
quarters, Hyattsville, where the Coun-
ty Home Service Office is now located.
Since the beginning of the war the,
Home Service has cared for about
three hundred families, assisting them
in every direction, while over ninety
families have asked its assistance but
I could not be given it because not war
time dependents. Cases of this des-
cription will fall under the, care how
ever, of Miss Ferriter
From the beginning Mrs C. O. APP
| plaman as a volunteer has taken
charge of the Home Service, but de-
mands upon her have been too great
to permit her to continuer Miss
Ferriter will work under her general
| direction.
The Home Service to be rendered by
| the Red Cross has now broadened. the
| war having ended. Through MISS
Ferriter and the Red Cross Public
Nurse the needs of the destitute, as
well as the necessities of school child
rens will receive larger attention than
they ever have had in past, and all
contributors to the Red Cross may feel
that the benefit of their work and
money will be felt within our own
County.
AS illustrative of the work to be done
among children it may he said that the |
County has in its school eight thousand |
pupils. On the average, if defective
teeth be included, seventy per cent are |
not in perfect health and twenty-five |
per cent have something which may
be of serious character troubling them.
With medical inspection followed bv a
trained nurse, sixty-five to seventy
five percent of the cases receive treat
ment other wise not more than ten to
twelve per cent have attention.
Too in the welfare of the children the
Red Cross has engaged the services of
Miss Agnes Fraser of Providence,
Rhode Island, as Public Nurse. Miss
Fraser is a graduate of the Butler
Hospital of Providence, Rhode Island
and has fourteen year experience in pub
lie health. and school nursing. She has
been serving in Walter Reed Hospital
for about year and as soon as re-
leased (which release is expected very
shortly she will come to Prince Geor-
ge's County.
1t is hoped that all of our citizens
will interest themselves in the work of
Miss Ferriter and Miss Fraser and will
re nder them every assistance possible.
