GOVERNOR CONFERS
WITH PRESIDENT
Attorney General Palmer Suggests
Fair Price Commissioner in
Each State.
News and Courier.

News and Courier.
Columbia, Sept. Community
cooperation in reducing the high cost
of living is asked by Attorney Gen
eral Palmer, according to his office
today after an absence of two weeks
in attendance upon the annual con-
ference of Governors in Salt Lake
City. Governor Cooper returned by
Washington WI, re he, as member
of a committe IF governors, had a
conference with President Wilson and
Attorney General Palmer relative to
State assistance in the nations war
on profiteers.
The plan as outlined by Mr.. Palm
er is to name a fair price commits
sioner in each State, who in turn will
designate fair price committees in
each community. Should the COM
mittees be unable to determine a
scale of fair prices, the attorney
generals office will have authority
to name an equitable figure. Mr..
Palmer emphasized that those
charged with boarding necessities
would be prosecuted. Governor
Cooper issued the following state
ment this afternoon concerning the
government drive to cut prices:
''The attorney general of the
! United States regards the present
: crisis growing out of the cost of liv-
ing as of very serious nature. He is
putting forth every possible effort
to bring about an economic arrange
mens that will be fair to all. To do
this, the intelligent cooperation of
each community is desired. The act
of congress regulating boarding and
selling of necessities during the war
is still in effect. This being the case,
the plan of the attorney general is
to name fair price commissioner IN
each state and this commissioner will
in turn, name fair price committees
for each community in his State. The
attorney general will accept the
prices agreed upon by these commit
tees. In case it is not possible to get
the committees to serve, the question
of regulating prices will be handled
directly from the attorney generals
office. Information now in hand re-
lative to the illegal boarding OF ne
? cessities will lead to prosecutions,
/ stated Mr.. Palmer.
.'In our conference with President
Wilson and with Attorney General
tPalmer, each stressed the needs OF
Europe, where a great shortage OF
food and clothes exists. The produc-
ton in Europe is now 40 per cent
under the normal before the war.
Food, fuel and clothing must be sent
to Europe, else there will result such
serious crippling of European in
dustries, that they will be unable to
buy our raw materials. This, obvious
", would be disastrous to us, as well
as to Europe. Consider the case OF
Itaiy, for instance. Italy has no coal:
for many years she has been buying
fuel from England, but England can
not now supply it. The need must be

GIRLS WHO USE cUSs WORDS
Singular Admission Said to Have Been
Made by the Members Of a
Graduating Glass.

It has long been the fashion at col
leges and schools to take a census of
graduating classes to determine Sach
vital facts as these:
What is your favorite flower? How
tall are you? Do you smoke? Are
you a prohibitionist?
At girls seminary recent inquiry
was more sweeping. To the interroga-
ton: "Do you swearY 200 Of the 215
girls answered yes.
But admitting that they swear is
not proof that these feminine lips do
utter oaths. SO at least says the law
in New York state, writes "Griant" in
the Philadelphia Press.
-Four or five people" must hear you
swear, not for second or two, but
"for about five minutes"-that's the
law in North Carolina.
Down in Alabama they don't expect
man to swear from the housetops,
but the law says that if three or four
persons hear you just once, good
night!
In Tennessee it is not necessary to
repeat the offensive words when
culprit is indicted for swearing.
saw on the veranda Of country
club seventeen women of whom twelve
were drinking an intoxicating liquor
and seven were smoking cigarettes.
But if that census at the girls semi
nary is an index, more women swear
than daily with John Barleycorn or
Lady Nicotine.
Query: Why do women insist on
being so much like men?

OWED MUCH TO STERE0sCOPE
How Commanders During the Great
War Got Information OF
Vital Importance.

The old-fashioned stereoscope
played an important part In the
world war. It supplied an angle to
photographs, snapped from airplanes'
that could not be obtained from the
ordinary camera lens. Before its use
the pictures all seemed fiat, but the
stereoscope added height, and thus
steep slopes, that appeared In pic
lures like fiat ground, were shown IN
their true characteristics, and the
lives of men who would have to cover
the ground in attack were saved.
The airplane camera looks directly

tographers decided to take pictures
100 yards apart to give view, just
as a giant, with eyes 100 yards apart

nut on cardboard, and viewed through
the stereoscope. At first a cottage
looked like a tower bucket ike

officers soon learned to translate these
eccentricities, and the problem was
solved. True pictures, giving just the

Does anyone believe asked the
Senator, that the other nations would
accept the Shantung amendment" He
pointed out that Great Britain has al
ready ratified the treaty and Is under

Shantung; that France is soon to rat-

selves out in the cold, isolated from
the rest Of the world.
"What, then, will the United States
do? What will those American states
men propose who stand for this method
of killing the treaty? Some of them
will say that Congress can pass joint
resolution declaring a state of peace
with Germany. Others say the United
States can negotiate separate and In

MANY. Those who talk this way evil
IDENTIFY have no conception of the el,or-

the United States derives from this
treaty which we wrung from Germany
at the lannon's mouth. Neither have
they any conception of the difficulties
involved in negotia' ;cg a new treaty
with Germany to 0atablish the terms
Of peace and settle the controversies
Of the war.
ITO my mind it would be suicidal
for the United States to throw away
the advantages and benefits provided
I'm this treaty. 1t would be disastrous
commercially and financially. 1t would
put us at an enoSaous disadvantage
in our international relations not only
with Germany but with those nations
which we would thus desert. They
would remain bound together by ties
of mutual interest. They would enjoy
the benefits of the treaty and would
not be slow to take avery advantage of
them. They would resent our deser-
